SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In the service--- and repair work of the engine there is al-
ways the possibility of injury. Before starting the work
read and understand the following safety instructions
and remarks!
Do not start a repair work that you do not fully handle.
Make sure that the place of the repair and the surround-
ing gives the possibility for safe working.
Always be sure of the cleanness and the good order of
the repairing place.
Do not use faulty or otherwise useless tools.
Remove all finger rings, chains and watch before start-
ing work.
Use up---todate protection equipment when you work.
For example eye protection as working with compressed air
for cleaning, grinding, hammering or other work.
Use lifting device for lifting and transporting heavy (over
20 kg) pieces. make sure of good condition of lifting hooks
and chains. The lifting ears on the engine must not be applied
by side forces when lifting.
Never work under an engine that is left handling under
a lifting device or lifted up by a jack. Always use strong sup-
ports before starting the work.
Use only genuine
Sisudiesel
spare parts.
Start the engine only by using the starting switch in the
cabin.
Do not start an engine if the protection covers are re-
moved.
NOTE!
The fan is difficult to see as the engine is run-
ning! Make sure that wide clothes or long hear is not caught
in the rotating parts of the engine.
If you start the engine indoors, be sure you have proper
ventilation.
Never use aerosol type of starting aid while operating
the thermostart device (risk for explosion).
When you are operating the engine or working near it,
use hearing protectors to avoid noise injuries.
Stop the engine always before service--- or repair work.
Avoid touching the exhaust manifold, turbocharger and
the other hot parts of the engine.
Open the radiator cap with care when the engine is hot
as the cooling system is pressurised. The cooling liquid and
lubrication oil of a hot engine causes injuries when touching
the skin.
Open fire, smoking and sparks should not be allowed
near the fuel system and batteries. (Specially when loading
batteries, explosive.)
Always disconnect the minus (---) wire of the battery
when doing service or repair of the electric system.
At temperatures on excess of 300
˚
C, e.g. if the engine
is burnt by a fire, the viton seals of the engine (e.g. the under-
most o---ring of the oil pressure regulating valve) produce very
highly corrosive hydrofluoric acid. Do not touch with bare
hands, viton seals subjected to abnormally high tempera-
tures. Always use neoprene rubber or heavy duty gloves and
safety glasses when decontaminating. Wash the seals and
the contaminated area with a 10% calcium hydroxide or other
alkali solution. Put all removed material in sealed plastic bags
and deliver them to the point stated by the Authorities con-
cerned.
NOTE!
Never destroy viton---seals by burning!
When checking fuel injectors do not let the jet of high
pressure fuel contact your skin. The fuel penetrates the skin
causing severe injuries. Contact your doctor immediately!
The fuel, lubricating oil and coolant cause irritation in
skin contact for long time.
Avoid unnecessary idling of the engine.
Do not let oil and other liquids drop into the soil when
servicing the engine.
All the gaskets of the engine are of non---asbestos ma-
terial.
Be careful when washing the engine with a high pres-
sure washing machine. Do not use high pressure to wash e.g.
the electric and fuel equipment or the radiator because they
can easily be damaged.
