Environment and safety
Batteries
WARNING!
The batteries contain and form oxyhydrogen gas,
particularly during charging. Oxyhydrogen gas
is flammable and highly explosive.
There must be no smoking, naked flames or
sparks near the batteries or the battery compart-
ment. Incorrect connection of a battery cable or
jump lead can cause a spark, which can cause the
battery to explode.
Chemicals
WARNING!
Most chemicals such as glycol, anti-corrosive
agents, preservative oils and degreasing agents,
are hazardous to health.
Some chemicals, such as preservative oil, are
also flammable.
Always follow the safety precautions on the rel-
evant packaging.
Store chemicals and other materials which are
hazardous to health in approved containers,
marking them clearly and storing them where
they are inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
Environment
Always hand in leftover and used chemicals to
an authorised waste disposal contractor.
Reductant
WARNING!
Reductant (AdBlue/DEF) is used in the reductant
tank on engines equipped with an SCR system.
Avoid contact with the skin.
If reductant comes in contact with the skin: Wash
with soap and plenty of water. If reductant
splashes in the eyes: Rinse immediately with
plenty of water. Contact a doctor if it is ingested
or causes skin irritations.
Safety precautions for maintenance
and repair
Switch off the engine
Always switch off the engine before carrying out
maintenance and repairs, unless otherwise indi-
cated.
Make it impossible to start the engine: Remove
any starter key, or cut the power using the main
power switch or battery master switch and lock
them.
Fix a warning plate somewhere appropriate,
showing that work is being carried out on the en-
gine.
WARNING!
Working with a running engine always poses a
safety risk. Parts of the body, clothes or dropped
tools can get caught in rotating parts and cause
injury.
