4.) Wear hearing protectors (ear muffs or plugs) if
exposed to irritating noise.
5.) The cooling system is pressurised and the
pressure is checked at the plug of the radiator
expansion tank.
Removing the cap when the
engine is hot is extremely dangerous.
Switch off the engine and wait until it has
cooled down sufficiently.
Even when the
engine is cold, remove the cap with extreme
caution covering it with a cloth and turning it
slowly to the first stop to release pressure
before removing it completely. Coolant may be
added only when the engine is switched off
and cold.
Failure to comply with these
instructions may cause severe burns by
sprays of liquid or steam, and damage to the
engine cooling system
.
6.) The coolant (antifreeze) contains monoethyl-
ene glycol and other chemicals which are toxic
if ingested; prolonged contact with the skin
should also be avoided. When working with
antifreeze, take the following precautions:
•
Use rubber gloves and goggles to prevent
injury from splashes.
•
Do not ingest the solution. If swallowed, see a
doctor immediately.
•
If any part of the body should come into con-
tact with the solution, wash immediately under
running water.
•
Keep the antifreeze in sealed containers, out of
reach of children, livestock and pets.

DANGER
: Risk of burning and scalding.
7.) The diesel oil in the injection system is pressu-
rised and sprays may penetrate your skin. The
injectors or other parts of the injection system
must not be modified, opened or repaired by
unauthorised personnel. Non-compliance with
this precaution may result in serious injuries.
8.) In any event, avoid contact with hot engine oil.
If the oil is very hot, let it cool off to a moderate
temperature before draining it.
9.) Replace the oil filter only when the engine is
cold and under no circumstances with bare
hands, to avoid contact with the oil.
10.) Continuous contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer. Protect your skin with rub-
ber gloves, specifically suited for mineral oils. If
the oil should come into contact with your skin,
wash immediately in running water and soap;
never use solvents.
