3.5 Dangers
Basic instructions
The following describes the various forms of danger that can occur during machine operation.
Basic safety instructions are found in this service manual at the beginning of each chapter in the
section entitled 'Safety'.
Warning instructions are found before a potentially dangerous task.
3.5.1 Safely dealing with sources of danger
The following describes the various forms of danger that can occur during machine operation.
Exhaust fumes
Exhaust gases from combustion engines contain carbon monoxide, a colour- and odour-less but
highly toxic gas. The inhalation of minute quantities can be lethal.
Furthermore, diesel exhaust contains soot particles, some of which are noxious.
➤ Do not inhale exhaust fumes.
➤ Park the machine in such a manner that the exhaust cannot blow towards the operators.
➤ Never use the machine in enclosed spaces, only in the open.
Fire and explosion
Spontaneous ignition and combustion of fuel can result in serious injury or death.
➤ Allow no open flames or sparks at the place of use.
➤ Do not smoke while refueling.
➤ Never refuel the machine when it is running.
➤ Do not allow fuel to overflow.
➤ Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
➤ Provide a fire extinguisher in the immediate vicinity.
➤ For the operation in combustible environment, fit the machine with an exhaust silencer (Op‐
tion la).
Hot coolant
The cooling system of a liquid-cooled engine at running temperature is under high pressure. If the
filler cap is unscrewed, hot coolant can spray out under pressure and cause severe scalding.
➤ Let the machine cool down before opening the cooling system.
➤ Unscrew the filler cap carefully by a quarter to half a turn at first. Remove the filler cap only
when pressure has escaped completely.
