When Working On Engines Or Other Vehicle Parts; Before Starting, Check To Be Certain The Gear Shift Is In Neutral - Tecnotest 5875 Bedienungsanleitung

BATTERY CHARGER ________________________________________________________ GENERAL REGULATIONS

When working on engines or other vehicle parts:

• Wear suitable clothing and act in such a way as to prevent industrial
accidents.
•

Before starting, check to be certain the gear shift is in neutral

(or in PARK (P) if the transmission is automatic), put the handbrake on
and check to be sure the wheels are completely braked.
• Protect your face, hands and feet and do not touch hot parts such as
spark plugs, exhaust pipes, radiators or cooling system fittings.
• Do not smoke or light flames when working on a vehicle.
• Check to make sure that all electric connections are isolated and tight.
• Do not look directly into the carburettor intake tube from close up when
the engine is running.
• Keep hands and hair away from moving parts.
• Do not wear ties, loose garments, bracelets or wrist watches when
working on a vehicle especially if its engine is running.
• Keep out of the fan's contact range; the cooling fan is controlled by a
thermic switch activated by the temperature of the cooling liquid. Always
disconnect a wire from the fan whenever you have to work on a vehicle
whose engine is still hot. This is to prevent the fan from starting suddenly
even when the engine has been turned off.
• Never pour fuel directly into the carburettor to help start the engine.
Do not unscrew the radiator cap before the engine temperature has
•
lowered and the cooling system is no longer pressurised.
• Do not touch the high voltage wire when the engine is running.
• Handle portable lights carefully and only use them if their metal guards
are in place.
• Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from petrol, dust or metal chips.
• Don't forget that the catalytic converter reaches very high temperatures
that can cause serious burns or start fires.
• Make sure that there are no oil stains, rags, paper or other easily
inflammable material near the catalytic converter.
