SECTION 10 - ENGINE

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
These safety precautions are most important:
CAUTION
Do not change the specification of the engine.
Do not smoke when you put fuel in the tank.
Clean away any fuel which has spilled and move
material which has fuel contamination to a safe
place.
Do not put fuel in the tank during engine
operation.
Never clean, lubricate or adjust the engine during
operation unless otherwise specified in this
manual. Use extreme caution when working
around moving parts to prevent injury.
Do not make any adjustments you do not
understand.
Ensure the engine is not in a position to cause a
concentration of toxic emissions.
Persons in the area must be kept clear during
engine and equipment or vehicle operation.
Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near
parts which move.
Keep away from parts which turn during
operation. Note that fans cannot be seen clearly
while the engine is running.
Do not run the engine with any safety guards
removed.
Do not remove the radiator cap while the engine
is hot and the coolant is under pressure, as
dangerous hot coolant can be discharged.
Do not use salt water in the fresh water cooling
system or any other coolant which can cause
corrosion.
Keep sparks or fire away from batteries
(especially while charging) or combustion can
occur. The battery fluid can burn and is also
dangerous to the skin and especially the eyes.
Disconnect the battery terminals before you
make a repair to the electrical system.
Only one person must be in control of the engine.
Ensure the engine is only operated from the
control panel or operator’s position.
If your skin comes into contact with high-
pressure fuel, get medical assistance
immediately.
Diesel fuel and used engine oils can cause skin
damage to some persons. Use protection on the
hands (gloves or special skin protection
solutions).
Do not move equipment unless the brakes are in
good condition.
Be sure that the transmission drive control is in
“Neutral” position before the engine is started.
Do not use ether to start these engines.
