Burns from Contact with Hot Engine Parts
• The whole engine is hot during
operation and immediately after
stopping. The turbocharger, exhaust
manifold, exhaust pipe and engine are
very hot. Never touch these parts with
your body or clothing.
Alcohol
• Never operate the engine while you
are under the influence of alcohol, when
you are ill or feel unwell as this results in
accidents.
Safety Precautions for Inspection
Battery Fluid
• Battery fluid is diluted sulfuric acid.
It can blind you if it gets in your eyes,
or burn your skin. Keep the fluid away
from your body. If you get any on you,
wash it off immediately with a large
quantity of fresh water.
Fire due to Electric Short-Circuits
• Always turn off the battery switch
or detach the earth cable (-) before
inspecting the electrical system. Failure
to do so could cause short-circuiting
and fires.
Precautions for Moving Parts
• Stop the engine before you service it.
If you must inspect while the engine is
operating, never touch moving parts.
Keep your body and clothing well clear
of all moving parts as this could result
in injury.
Precautions for Removing Hot Oil and Water
to Prevent Burns
• If extracting oil from the engine while
it is still hot, do not let the oil splash
on you. To avoid getting scalded, wait
until the temperature has dropped
before removing cooling water from the
engine.
Do not alter the diesel engine.
Rebuilding the engine or altering parts to increase
the speed or the amount of fuel discharged, etc., will
make operation unsafe and result in damage and
shortening of engine life.
Disposal of waste materials
• Save oil or liquids to be disposed of in a container.
Never dispose of waste oil or other fluids outside, in a
sewer, river, or the sea.
• Treat waste materials safely observing all regulations
and laws. Ask a waste recovery company to collect
and dispose of it.
