General Information
Group 20
Stop the engine before carrying out operations
on the engine cooling system.
Always use protective glasses or goggles, when
carrying out work where there is a risk of splint-
ers, grinding sparks and acid splashes or when
other chemicals are in use. The eyes are extre-
mely sensitive and an injury could result in blin-
dness!
Avoid getting hot oil on your skin, it might cause
severe burns. Ensure that the lubrication syste-
m is not under pressure before carrying out any
work. Never start or operate the engine with the
oil filler cap removed, otherwise oil could be eje-
cted.
Exposure to oil over a long period or repeatedly
will cause problems such as skin drying out, ir-
ritation and toxic eczema. Used oil is in a health
aspect even more dangerous than new oil. Use
protective gloves. Use protection creams, which
will ease up cleaning of the skin and counteract
drying out.
Many chemicals such as oils, glycol, diesel oil
and other chemicals, for example degreasing
agents, paint and solvents are dangerous to yo-
ur health.
Always follow the safety precautions for the pro-
duct, for example using protective mask, glass-
es, gloves etc. Make sure of good ventilation is
provided in the working area. Follow the instruc-
tions on the product, when disposing used che-
micals.
Follow extreme care when working with/or chec-
king the fuel system. Use eye protection. The
jet from a fuel injector nozzle is under extremely
high pressure and can cause severe personal
injury.
WARNING!
Use new delivery pipes every time.
Be careful, delivery pipes should under no circu-
mstances be bent.
All fuels and many chemical substances are fla-
mmable. Do not allow naked flame or sparks in
the working area!
Make sure that the working area is well ventilat-
ed and take the necessary safety precautions
before starting welding or grinding work.
Make sure that there always are fire extinguish-
ers in the working area.
Ensure that rags soaked in oil or fuel are stored
safely. Rags soaked in oil can spontaneously
ignite. Used fuel filters, oil filters, lubricating oil,
contaminated fuel, solvent and degreasing agen-
ts are environmentally dangerous waste and mu-
st be deposited at an approved site for dest-ruc-
tion.
Never expose a battery to naked flame or elect-
rical sparks. Batteries always produce hydrogen
gas, which mixed with air form an explosive gas
– oxyhydrogengas.
This gas is highly volatile and easily ignited. In-
correct connection of the battery can cause a
single spark that is sufficient to cause an explo-
sion. Be very careful when attempting to ju-mp-
start the engine and do not at any time lean over
the batteries.
Always ensure that the Plus (positive) and Min-
us (negative) battery leads are correctly insta-
lled. Incorrect installation can result in severe
damage to the electrical equipment. Refer to the
wiring diagrams.
Always use protective goggles when charging
and handling the batteries. Battery electrolyte
contains sulfuric acid, which is highly caustic.
Should the battery electrolyte come into contact
with unprotected skin wash off immediately us-
ing plenty of water and soap and if it is exposed
to the eyes, immediately flush with plenty of wa-
ter and obtain medical assistance at once.
