• Funnels are very difficult to keep
clean in dusty conditions. Wash them
before and after use and wrap them up
when not required, or fill the tank direct
from a small-mouthed screw-capped
can.
• The fuel injection equipment is
manufactured to very accurate limits
and the smallest particle of dirt will
destroy its efficiency.
CauTion
Keep the fuel free from water and
contaminants.
1.5 preCauTions WiTh
FilTers and elemenTs
• Used filters and elements contain
some of the filtered liquid and should be
handled and disposed of with care.
• After handling new or used elements,
wash your hands thoroughly.
WarninG
do not allow fuel or new or used
lubricating oil to come into contact
with unprotected skin. It is dangerous
and could cause skin irritation.
WarninG
Take careful precautions with filters
and elements. The materials used in
the manufacture and treatment of
some types may cause irritation or
discomfort if they come into contact
with the eyes or mouth, and they
may give off toxic gases if burnt.
1.6 preCauTions WiTh oil
seals
Some engines may be fitted with seals
or 'O' rings manufactured from Viton
or a similar material. When these
substances are exposed to abnormally
high temperatures, in excess of 400°C
(752°F), an extremely corrosive acid is
produced.

1.7 preCauTions WiTh
baTTeries
Batteries contain hazardous sulphuric
acid. Great care therefore needs to be
taken when using them.
• Do not smoke near batteries and
keep sparks and flames away from
them. Do not work near to heaters or
other fire hazards.
• Switch off the battery charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the charger leads. Disconnect the
battery negative (earth) lead first and
reconnect last.
• Keep the top of the battery well
ventilated during charging.
• Never flash connections.
• Never use a damaged battery.
• Before charging the battery warm
it to around 16°C (60°F).
WarninG
never attempt to charge a frozen
battery; it may explode.
