1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Fuel

Diesel fuel is an extremely 

flammable liquid, and must not be 

exposed to naked flames or come 

into contact with hot surfaces. The 

diesel fuel fumes remaining in an 

empty fuel tank form an extremely 

explosive mixture.

When fuel system components are being 

removed, some fuel will escape.

To keep this spillage to a minimum, unscrew the 

tank cap to release any overpressure.

Any spilled fuel must be collected, bearing in 

mind the risk of fire.

Exhaust gases
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or 

unventilated area.

Make sure exhaust fumes are properly extracted.

Exhaust gases contain carbon 

monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is a deadly 

colourless and odourless gas, 

which, when inhaled, deprives the 

body of oxygen, leading to 

asphyxiation. Serious carbon 

monoxide poisoning may result in 

brain damage or death.

Moving parts
Remain at a safe distance from rotating and/or 

moving components.

Various fluids
Various oils and lubricants used on the vehicle 

may constitute a health hazard.

This also applies to engine coolant, windscreen 

washer fluid, refrigerant in air-conditioning 

systems, battery acid and clutch fluid.

So avoid inhaling and direct contact.

Electrical short-circuit
Always disconnect the battery's earth connection 

during repair or maintenance operations for 

which the electric power supply is not required.
