Caution
Risk of damage due to particles of dirt.
^ Danger of material damage due to blocked oil bores/oil ducts.


-> Absolute cleanliness is essential when working on the engine.
-> Lay removed engine parts on a clean base and make sure to cover them.
-> Use the cover for dust protection when fitting the engine NR.165 on the engine assembly support.

Warning
Coolant is corrosive and hazardous to health.
^ Risk of skin and eye irritation.


-> Wear protective gloves and goggles.
-> If you come into contact with coolant, wash off immediately with plenty of warm water.

Warning
Pentosin is hazardous to health
Danger of material damage and injury


-> Wear protective gloves and goggles.
-> If the eyes or skin come into contact with the fluid, wash immediately with water.
-> Collect emerging Pentosin. Clean hoses which come into contact with Pentosin thoroughly.
-> Use caps to protect the wiring against soiling and damage.

Warning
Danger due to oil draining out and spraying when the engine is hot.
