SAFETY INFORMATION
PROPER MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Before working on a vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the transmission in neutral, and chock the wheels. Failure to do so can result in unexpected vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Always run the engine outdoors or use a properly vented exhaust hose. Prolonged or excessive exposure may cause serious illness or death.
Never operate the engine in an area where hydrocarbon vapors (gasoline, for example) are present or are suspected to be present. Hydrocarbon vapors can enter the air intake and over speed the engine, causing severe engine damage and/or an explosion and fire. Serious personal injury or death could occur.
Never try to operate or work on this vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Your reflexes can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol. Drinking and operating this vehicle can lead to an accident, causing serious personal injury or death.
DO NOT attempt to repair or service this vehicle without having sufficient training, correct service literature and the proper tools. Failure to follow this could lead to personal injury or making your vehicle unsafe.
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Safety Information 25
During Maintenance
Remove key from ignition while working on vehicle or engine.
DO NOT allow unauthorized personnel on, around or in the vehicle when maintenance or repair is being performed.
When operating the engine in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the
outside.
Before servicing your vehicle, apply the parking brakes and adequately
chock the wheels in order to prevent unintended vehicle movement. If the service procedure requires the parking brakes to be released — recheck to ensure that the wheels are adequately chocked to prevent any forward and/or rearward movement.
DO NOT use combustible substances in or around the engine either
during repair or maintenance or when running the engine.
DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch or get snagged by
parts or moving components on the engine. Also wear all protective equipment required by the job conditions, such as protective glasses, hearing protection, etc.
Make certain that all protective covers and guards are in place and
properly secured.
Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers since glass containers
can break.
Report all problems in a timely manner before they threaten the safety of
operating the vehicle.
DO NOT work on the engine while it is running.
Make sure protective locks and covers are in their proper place.
DO NOT use high amperage electronic starting devices for jump-starting
the engine. Rely on conventional battery charging for charging the batteries or jump-start with the help of a start battery.
DO NOT attempt repairs you do not understand. If you do not have the
proper tools/knowledge to perform the repairs correctly, Volvo recommends contacting your nearest Volvo Truck dealer for all necessary repairs.
When starting an engine after repairs have been made to the fuel or
injection system, prepare equipment for shutting off the engine intake air and/or fuel supply (to stop the engine), in case there is an over speed on start-up.
Start the engine only from the driver seat. Never operate the starter motor
across the starter terminals or the batteries as this could bypass the engine neutral-start system as well as causing damage to the electrical or electronic systems.
26 Safety Information
Compressed Air and Water
Compressed air can cause serious personal injury. When using compressed air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and protective shoes. Pressurized water could cause particles and/or hot water to be sprayed in your direction and cause personal injury. The maximum air pressure must be below 200 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Asbestos Information
The Volvo engine and replacement parts for it shipped from the factory are asbestos free. Volvo recommends the use of only genuine Volvo spare parts.
Never use any parts that contain or are thought to contain asbestos. Exposure to asbestos fibers can create serious health risks, including death.
Fluid Penetration
Always use a piece of paper or cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping fluid under high pressure, even a pin-hole sized leak, can penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury or death. If fluid is injected into your skin, immediate treatment must be administered by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
