When working on a vehicle in the workshop always make sure that:

• Where practicable, the parking brake is applied and the wheels are securely chocked to prevent the vehicle moving forwards or backwards.
• Whenever possible, the ignition key is removed before any work is carried out on the vehicle.
• If the engine is to be run, there is adequate ventilation, or an extraction hose is used to remove exhaust fumes.
• There is adequate room to raise the vehicle and remove the wheels, if necessary.
• Fender covers are always fitted if any work is to be carried out in the engine compartment.
• Where practicable, the battery is disconnected if working on the engine, underneath the vehicle, or if the vehicle is raised.

ВНИМАНИЕ: Prior to disconnecting the battery, refer to the Electrical Section of this manual - Battery disconnection/connection and the following paragraphs. Для получения дополнительной информации обратитесь к Specifications (414-00 Charging System - General Information)

ВНИМАНИЕ: When electric arc welding on a vehicle, always disconnect the generator wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge of current causing damage to the internal components of the generator.

If using welding equipment on the vehicle, a suitable fire extinguisher is readily available.
