Following the conclusion of all maintenance and repairs,
all protective fixtures must be refitted and placed back into
operation.

environment. They must be collected and stored in suitable
containers. Disposal in accordance with environmental
protection regulations.
All maintenance work may only be carried out when the engine

removed from the machine. They may be drawn in or flung off
by moving parts.
