Safety precautions
These safety precautions are important. You must refer also to the local regulations in the country of use.
Some items only apply to specific applications.
lOnly use these engines in the type of application for which they have been designed.
lDo not change the specification of the engine.
lDo not smoke when you put fuel in the tank.
lClean away fuel which has been spilt. Material which has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to a
safe place.
lDo not put fuel in the tank while the engine runs (unless it is absolutely necessary).
lDo not clean, add lubricating oil, or adjust the engine while it runs (unless you have had the correct training;
even then extreme caution must be used to prevent injury).
lDo not make adjustments that you do not understand.
lEnsure that the engine does not run in a location where it can cause a concentration of toxic emissions.
lOther persons must be kept at a safe distance while the engine or auxiliary equipment is in operation.
lDo not permit loose clothing or long hair near moving parts.
lKeep away from moving parts during engine operation.
Warning! Some moving parts cannot be seen clearly while the engine runs.
lDo not operate the engine if a safety guard has been removed.
lDo not remove the filler cap or any component of the cooling system while the engine is hot and while the
coolant is under pressure, because dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.
lDo not use salt water or any other coolant which can cause corrosion in the closed coolant circuit.
lDo not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are on charge) because the
gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially
to the eyes.
lDisconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system.
lOnly one person must control the engine.
lEnsure that the engine is operated only from the control panel or from the operator’s position.
lDiscard used lubricating oil in a safe place to prevent contamination.
lEnsure that the control lever of the transmission drive is in the "out-of-drive" position before the engine is
started.
lThe combustible material of some components of the engine (for example certain seals) can become
extremely dangerous if it is burned. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or with
the eyes.
lDiesel fuel and lubricating oil (especially used lubricating oil) can damage the skin of certain persons.
Protect your hands with gloves or a special solution to protect the skin.
lDo not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil. Do not put material which is contaminated
with oil into the pockets of clothing.
lDiscard used lubricating oil in accordance with local regulations to prevent contamination.
lUse extreme care if emergency repairs must be made in adverse conditions.
lAlways use a safety cage to protect the operator when a component is to be pressure tested in a container
of water. Fit safety wires to secure the plugs which seal the hose connections of a component which is to
be pressure tested. Continued
