ENGINE - RADIATOR
Never leave the engine run in closed spaces without
ventilation and not able to evacuate toxic exhaust
gases. Keep the exhaust manifold and tube free
from combustion materials.
Do not refuel with the engine running, especially if
hot, as this increases fire hazard in case of fuel spill-
age.
Never attempt to check or adjust the fan belts when
the engine is running.
Never lubricate the machine with the engine run-
ning.
Pay attention to rotary pieces and do not allow to an-
yone to approach to avoid becoming entangled.
If hands, clothes or tools get caught in the fan blades
or in the transmission belt, this can cause amputa-
tions, violent tears and generate condition of serious
danger; for this reason avoid touching or to come
close to all rotary or moving parts.
A violent jet of the coolant from the radiator can
cause damages and scalds.
If you are to check the coolant level, you have to shut
off the engine previously and to let cool down the ra-
diator and its pipes. Slowly unscrew the cap to re-
lease the inside pressure.
If necessary, remove the cap with hot engine, wear
safety clothes and equipment, then loosen the cap
slowly to relieve the pressure gradually.
When checking the fuel, oil and coolant levels, use
exclusively explosion proof classified lamps. If this
kind of lamps are not used fires or explosions may
occur.
