1 – 4 Special safety instructions
1 – 4 – 1 Equipment with a combustion engine
Never start the combustion engine other than from the device provided for this
purpose. The exhaust gases from combustion engines contain products of
combustion which may prove harmful. Always start or use the combustion engine in
a well-ventilated environment. Avoid working positions where the exhaust gases could
come into contact with protected or unprotected parts of the body. All mobile
telephones must be switched off when filling with or handling fuel. Fill the tank with fuel
or maintenance liquids when the combustion engine is switched off and cold. During
filling, keep away from any source of heat (cigarette, flame, welding machines, cutting
machines, etc.). In the event of spillage, clean the tank. All fuels, most maintenance
liquids and emptied fluids are flammable. They must be stored in special closed
containers which are clearly labelled and kept out of reach of unauthorised persons.
Any fuel sprays or leakages onto electrical components or burning surfaces may cause
fires. Unless indicated otherwise, never carry out adjustments while the combustion
engine is running. The additive for the cooling circuit contains alkalis. These may
cause injury to the body. Avoid all contact with the skin and eyes. For the disposal of
emptied liquids, comply with the legislation in force. Pressurised liquids from the
combustion engine can penetrate under the skin and cause serious injury.
1 – 4 – 2 Equipment with electrical devices
Maintenance works on electrical installations must imperatively be carried out by
qualified persons, while complying with the electrical safety regulations specific to the
type of intervention. Never bridge the terminals of the starter or batteries. Bridging
carries the risk of making the emergency stop devices inoperative and of damaging
the electrical or electronic circuit. Keep electrical cabinets away from any moisture
which could give rise to a short-circuit and at worst cause a fire, or which could
cause dangerous malfunctions and damage electronic and electrical components.
Never shunt faulty fuses, and never replace them with higher-amp fuses. This leads to
a risk of fire. Periodically check the condition of the battery contacts, which could be
a source of malfunction. Always keep the battery away from flames or possible
sources of sparks: risk of explosion and fire. The liquid contained in the battery
(sulphuric acid) is toxic and corrosive. In the event of contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately rinse with water. Consult a doctor immediately. Respect the polarity of the
electrical circuit. Incorrect installation may cause serious damage to electrical and
electronic equipment and may cause a fire. Incorrect connection of booster cables
may cause an explosion. When using booster cables, always connect the positive
cable (+) to the positive terminal (+) of the battery and the negative cable (-) of the
auxiliary source to the combustion engine block.
1 – 4 – 3 Equipment with hydraulic devices
Never deform or strike the high-pressure hydraulic pipes. Replace deformed or
damaged hydraulic pipes. Carefully check all hydraulic pipes. Do not use a bare hand
to look for leaks; instead, use a piece of wood or cardboard. Replace any suspect
part. If it is necessary to disconnect hydraulic pipes, there is a risk of whirls or sprays
of liquid. Sprays of liquid can cause serious injury. The hydraulic circuit may be
