O Always use protective glasses or goggles when carrying out work where there is a risk of splin- ters, grinding sparks, acid splashes or where other chemicals are used. The eyes are ex- tremely sensitive, an injury could result in blind- ness! Ensure that rags soaked in oil or fuel and used fuel or oil filters are stored safely. Rags soaked i n oil can spontaneously ignite under certain cir- cumstances. Used fuel and oil filters are envi- ronmentally dangerous waste and must be de- posited at an approved site for destruction together with used lubricating oil, contaminated fuel, paint remnants, solvent, degreasing agents and waste from washing parts. 0 Avoid getting oil on the skin!
Repeated expo- sure to oil or exposure over a long period can result in the skin becoming dry. Irritation, dry- ness and eczema and other skin problems can then occur. Used oil is more dangerous than fresh oil from a health aspect. Use protective gloves and avoid oil soaked clothes and shop rags. Wash regularly, especially before eating. There are special skin creams which counteract drying out of the skin and make it easier to clean off dirt after work is completed. Never expose a battery to naked flame or elec- trical sparks. Never smoke in proximity to the batteries. The batteries give off hydrogen gas during charging which when mixed with air can form an explosive gas - oxyhydrogen .
This gas i s easily ignited and highly volatile. Incorrect connection of the battery can cause a single spark which is sufficient to cause an explosion with resulting damage. Do not shift the connec- tions when attempting to start the engine (spark risk) and do not lean over any of the batteries. Many chemicals used on the product (for ex- ample engine and transmission oils, glycol, gasoline and diesel oil), or chemicals used in the workshop (for example degreasing agents, paint and solvents) are dangerous to health. Read the instructions on the product packaging carefully! Always follow the safety precautions for the product (for example use of protective mask, glasses, gloves etc .).
Make sure that other personnel are not exposed to hazardous chemi- cals, for example in the air. Ensure good ventila- tion in the work place. Follow the instructions provided when disposing of used or leftover chemicals. 2L Always ensure that the Plus (positive) and Mi- nus (negative) battery leads are correctly in- stalled on the corresponding terminal posts on the batteries. Incorrect installation can result in serious damage to the electrical equipment. Re- fer to the wiring diagrams. 0 Always use protective goggles when charging and handling the batteries. Battery electrolyte contains sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive.
Should the battery electrolyte come into contact with unprotected skin wash off immediately us- IL Excercise extreme care when leak detecting on the fuel system and testing the fuel injector jets. Use eye protection. The jet from a fuel injector nozzle is under extremely high pressure and has great penetrative energy, so the fuel can penetrate deep into the body tissue and cause serious personal injury. Danger of blood poison- i ng plenty of water and soap. If battery acid comes in contact with the eyes, immediately flush with plenty of water and obtain medical as- sistance at once.
A Turn the engine off and turn off the power at the main switch(es ) before carrying out work on the electrical system. i ng. 0 All fuels and many chemical substances are flammable. Do not allow naked flame or sparks Clutch adjustments must be carried out with the engine stopped. i n the vicinity. Fuel, certain thinner products and hydrogen from batteries can be extremely flam- mable and explosive when mixed with air. Smoking is not to be permitted in the vicinity! Ensure that the work area is well ventilated and take the necessary safety precautions before starting welding or grinding work. Always en- sure that there are fire extinguishers at hand when work is being carried out. 3
