1.1 - SAFETY REGULATIONS
- In the event of having to carry out work on the machine while the engine is running, ensure that the work
area is well ventilated, where possible using suitable extractor fans. Never leave engines running in closed
spaces. The exhaust gases produced contain CO (carbon monoxide)
which can cause loss of consciousness
and can lead to death when inhaled.
- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect eyes, clothing and skin. Sulphuric acid is highly co-
rrosive; in the event of contact with the eyes or skin, wash with copious amounts of water and seek medical
attention immediately. If electrolyte is swallowed accidentally, drink copious amounts of water or milk and seek
medical attention immediately.
- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke, and avoid flames or sparks
close to the battery, especially during battery charging operations.
- Avoid prolonged contact of used engine oil with the skin. Either wear gloves or wash your hands on finishing
handling used oil.
- Petrol is extremely inflammable, and in certain conditions can be explosive. Do not smoke, and avoid sparks
or other points of ignition in the work area.
- Clean brake pads in a well-ventilated place. DO NOT use compressed air to clean brake pads or brake calli-
pers. Although the dust does not contain asbestos, its inhalation can cause respiratory illnesses.
- Brake liquid attacks painted surfaces very aggressively. Protect painted elements with a clean cloth when
performing operations with brake fluid. Wear gloves if possible, since contact of brake fluid with the skin is not
advisable.
- Prevent coolant from spilling onto hot elements, since it produces an “invisible flame” which may lead to a
person receiving burns as a result of not seeing the flame.
- Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the coolant is under pressure and at a high
temperature, and may cause severe burning.
- If coolant enters the eyes, they must be washed immediately with cold water and medical attention sought.
- During normal functioning, the exhaust system and the engine are at a high temperature.
If work has to be carried out on these, either wait until they have cooled down or wear suitable gloves to avoid
being burnt.
