Risk of fire

Work on live electrical lines carries a risk of short 
circuit.

Before starting work on the electrical system, 
disconnect the on-board electrical system from the 
power source, e.g. battery.

With all bodies make sure that neither flammable 
objects nor flammable liquids can come into 
contact with hot assemblies (including through 
leakages in the hydraulic system) such as the 
engine, gearbox, exhaust system, turbocharger, etc.

Appropriate caps, seals and covers must be 
installed on the body in order to avoid the risk of 
fire.
