Cooling system
Avoid opening the coolant filling cap when the en-
gine is hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out at the
same time as the pressure built up is lost.
If the filler cap, coolant hose etc., still has to be
opened or removed when the engine is hot, undo the
filler cap slowly and carefully, to let the pressure out
before removing the filler cap completely and starting
work. Note that the coolant can still be hot and cause
scalding.
Fuel system
Always protect your hands when searching for leaks.
Fluids which leak under pressure can force their way
into body tissue and cause severe injury. There is a
risk of blood poisoning (septicemia).
Always cover the alternator if it is located beneath the
fuel filters. Fuel spillage can damage the alternator.
Electrical system
Cut the current
Before any work is done on the electrical system,
the engine must be stopped and the current cut by
switching off the main switch(es). External current
supply for engine heaters, battery chargers or other
auxiliary equipment connected to the engine must be
disconnected.
Batteries
Batteries contain a highly corrosive electrolyte. Pro-
tect your eyes, skin and clothes during charging and
other handling of batteries. Always use protective
goggles and gloves.
If acid comes into contact with your skin, wash at
once with soap and a lot of water. If you get battery
acid in your eyes, flush at once with a lot of cold wa-
ter, and get medical assistance at once.
Electric welding
Remove the positive and negative cables from the
batteries. Then disconnect all cables connected to
the alternator.
Always connect the welder earth clamp to the com-
ponent to be welded, and as close as possible to
the weld site. The clamp must never be connected
to the engine or in such a way that current can pass
through a bearing.
When welding is completed: Always connect the
alternator cables before the battery cables are put
back.
