Safety precautions for handling ma-
terials
Lubricating oil
WARNING!
All lubricants and many chemicals are flamma-
ble. Always follow the instructions on the rele-
vant packaging.
The work must be carried out on a cold engine.
Spillage on hot surfaces can cause fires.
Store used rags and other flammable materials
safely so as to avoid spontaneous combustion.
Batteries
WARNING!
The batteries contain and form oxyhydrogen gas,
particularly during charging. Oxyhydrogen gas
is flammable and highly explosive.
There must be no smoking, naked flames or
sparks near the batteries or the battery compart-
ment. Incorrect connection of a battery cable or
jump lead can cause a spark, which can cause the
battery to explode.
Chemicals
WARNING!
Most chemicals such as glycol, anti-corrosive
agents, preservative oils and degreasing agents,
are hazardous to health. Some chemicals, such as
preservative oil, are also flammable. Always fol-
low the safety precautions on the packaging.
Store chemicals and other materials which are
hazardous to health in approved and clearly
marked containers, where they are inaccessible
to unauthorised persons.
Environment
Excess and used chemicals must be disposed of
as specified in national and international laws
and regulations.
