Most chemicals such as engine and transmission oils,
glycol, petrol and diesel oil and chemicals used in
workshops such as degreasing agents, paint and
solvents are harmful to health.
Carefully read the instructions on the product
packaging! Always follow the safety regulations, such
as the use of protective masks, goggles, gloves, etc.
Make sure that other personnel are not exposed to
substances that are hazardous to health. Ensure good
ventilation.
Manage used and leftover chemicals in the prescribed
manner.
Daily Checks
WARNING!
Do not start the engine if there is reason to suspect fuel
leaks or if there is explosive material nearby.
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine
compartment a visual check before the engine is
started and after operations, once the engine has
stopped. This helps you to quickly discover fuel,
coolant or oil leakages or any other abnormality that
has occurred, or is about to occur.
Personal safety equipment
CAUTION!
Always use appropriate safety equipment. Personal
protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of
injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an
accident does happen.
Some examples are ear protection, eye and face
protection, protective footwear, personal protective
equipment, head protection, protective clothing,
gloves and respirators.
WARNING!
Ensure that all machine guards and safety devices are
in place and are functional.
CAUTION!
Never use tools or products that show signs of
damage.
Protect your eyes
CAUTION!
Wear safety glasses.
Always wear safety glasses if there is a risk of
splintering, sparks and spray from the electrolyte (so-
called battery acid), or other chemicals. Your eyes are
very delicate and damage can result in loss of sight!
