Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions


When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

• Route all wires and lines so that the original path is followed.

• Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

• The fuel or fuel lines in fuel system can become very hot (danger of scalding)!

• In addition, the fuel system is under pressure! Place a cloth over the connection before opening the system. Carefully open the connection just a little and let the pressure come down.

• Wear protective goggles and protective gloves when working on the fuel system!

Always observe the following when removing and installing the fuel lever sensor or the fuel pump from a full or partially filled fuel tank.

• Place the extractor hose from an exhaust extraction system near the fuel tank opening and extract the fuel vapors. If no exhaust extraction system is available, a radial fan (as long as motor is not in air flow) with a displacement greater than 15 m3/h can be used.

• Prevent fuel from contacting skin! Wear fuel resistant gloves!
