I Accidental starting
Accidental starting can cause serious injury and even death!
Disconnect the battery before working on the engine.
Ensure no one is alongside the engine or working on the
gearbox, the shaft line and / or the propeller before starting
it.
Ensure all the protection mechanisms are in place before
starting the engine.
I Risk of battery explosion
A battery explosion can cause serious injury and even
death!
Do not smoke near the batteries and keep them away
from sources of ignition (fl ames or sparks). They produce
hydrogen which could ignite or explode on contact with an
electrical arc or a fl ame. Switch off all electrical appliances
in the vicinity when you are working on the batteries. Ensure
the battery storage compartment is corrected ventilated.
Avoid touching the battery terminals with metal tools so
that no sparks are created which could cause an explosion.
Remove your rings, bracelets and necklaces before handing
the batteries.
I Battery acid
The acid in batteries can cause serious injury and even
death!
When servicing the batteries, wear protective gloves and
goggles. Batteries contain sulphuric acid which is highly
corrosive.
Acid can spurt from batteries when they are handled. If the
acid comes into contact with the skin, rinse thoroughly in
fresh water and consult a doctor.
I Exhaust gas
Ensure the exhaust circuit correctly expels the gas produced
by the engine.
Regularly check that the exhaust circuit is free of leaks and
that the exhaust elbow is correctly affi xed.
Operate the engine in a well aerated and ventilated area
away from other people. Run the fan when the engine is
operational.
I Rotating parts
Rotating parts can be extremely dangerous and cause
serious injury and even death!
Do not work on the engine when it is operational. If work
on the engine when running is absolutely necessary, do not
touch any hot or rotating parts.
Baggy clothing, hair or objects could be pulled in and/or
caught and cause serious injury or substantial property
damage.

Do not wear bracelets, necklaces or rings when working on
the engine.
Check that the bolts and screws are properly tightened and
that the protection mechanisms are in place.
Do not check the fl uid levels or tension of the alternator belt
when the engine is operational.
I Lifting the engine
To lift the engine, use the hoisting eyes on the appliance.
Always check the robustness and overall condition of
the lifting equipment. Use suitable gear (cables, beams,
machines, etc.) to lift your engine. Check that your gear
is capable of lifting the engine all the equipment that are
mounted on the engine.
Lifting cables and chains must be able to move parallel to
each other.
Do not forget that any additional equipment mounted on
the engine could alter its centre of gravity. When lifting
the engine, it should remain as parallel as possible to the
ground.
