The battery emits explosive gases, it is advisable to keep away flames, sparks and any other source of heat. Provide
adequate ventilation when servicing or recharging the battery.
Keep out of the reach of children.
The battery fluid is corrosive. Do not pour it or spread it, especially on plastic parts.
Provide for regular disposal.
Coolant
Under certain conditions, the ethylene glycol present in the engine coolant is combustible and its flame is not visible. If
ethylene glycol is ignited, its flame is not visible but it is able to cause serious burns.
Avoid pouring engine coolant to the exhaust system or on engine parts. These parts may be hot enough to ignite the
liquid which then burns without visible flames. Coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause skin irritation and is poisonous if
swallowed. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is still hot. Coolant is
under pressure and may cause burns.
Keep hands and clothes away from the cooling fan as it starts automatically.
Precautions and general warnings
The clothing of the operator performing the repair operations must be adequate to avoid the risk of injury when working
on moving parts (for example, too wide clothes that can get caught).
Do not wear personal items (e.g. rings, wristwatches, etc.) while performing repairs on the vehicle, and in particular on
the electrical system.
Keep the work area tidy, to avoid that elements left on the ground interfere with the repair operations.
Clean the floors of the working areas from oil, grease or other residual fluids, to avoid slipping.
Perform compression or decompression operations on the springs, using only suitable tools to prevent the operations
from causing damage to the operator.
Avoid inhalation of vapours from cleaning fluids: they can be highly toxic. Make sure the work area is properly ventilated.
Use suitable cleaning products for each operation, making sure that they are approved.
Wear eye protection when using electrical tools such as drills, grinders or milling machines.
