wheels could cause serious injury if The motor must be turned off when possible
persons are struck by moving parts or If procedures require the motor to be running
caught in belts during service, care must be taken to avoid
moving objects
The battery cable should be disconnected
when possible to avoid having the motor
accidentally started
Care should be taken to avoid hot surfaces
Hot surfaces (engine) could cause

serious burns
BATTERIES Batteries produce flammable gasses Batteries should be well ventilated before
that could be ignited causing burns an servicing particularly if welding is required
explosions near the batteries
Batteries contain strong acid that may Protective clothing, gloves and eyewear must
cause severe burns if spilled or be worn when working on batteries
splashed on body parts or in the eyes
A contact with batteries plug, or all Avoid to remove the plastic protection, and
electric part without protection (or avoid to touch electric parts where current
when the protection have been can be
removed) can cause an electric
chock
TYRE Welding near the wheels may damage If welding has to be done near the wheel or
the tyre, which may explode on the rim, remove the tyre
May cause serious injury or death
