0 14 Safety first Professional mechanics are trained in safe working procedures However enthusiastic you may be about getting on with the job at hand take the time to ensure that your safety is not put at risk A moment s lack of attention can result in an accident as can failure to observe simple precautions There will always be new ways of having accidents and the following is not a comprehensive list of all dangers it is intended rather to make you aware of the risks and to encourage a safe approach to all work you carry out on your bike Essential DOs and DON Ts DON T start the engine without first ascertaining that the transmission is in neutral DON T suddenly remove the filler cap from a hot cooling system cover it with a cloth and release the pressure gradually first or you may get scaldec by escaping coolant DON T attempt to drain oil until you are sure it has cooled sufficiently to avoid scalding you DON T grasp any part of the engine or exhaust system without first ascertaining that it is cool enough not to burn you DON T allow brake fluid or antifreeze to contact tne machine s paint work or plastic components DON T siphon toxic liquids such as fuel hydraulic fuid or antifreeze by mouth or allow them to remain on your skin DON T inhale dust it may be injurious to health see Asbestos heading DON T allow any spilled oil or grease to remain on the floor wipe it up right away before someone slips on it DON T use ill fitting wrenches or other tools which may slip and cause injury DON T attempt to lift a heavy component which may be beyond your capability get assistance DON T rush to finish a job or take unverified short cuts DON T allow children or animals in or around an unattended vehicle DON T inflate a tire to a pressure above the recommended maximum Apart from over stressing the carcass and wheel rim in extreme cases the tire may blow off forcibly DO ensure that the machine is supported securely at all times This is especially important when the machine is blocked up to aid wheel or fork removal DO take care when attempting to loosen a stubborn nut or bolt It is generally better to pull on a wrench rather than push so that if you slip you fall away from the machine rather than onto it DO wear eye protection when using power tools such as drill sander bench grinder etc DO use a barrier cream on your hands prior to undertaking dirty jobs it will protect your skin from infection as well as making the dirt easier to remove afterwards but make sure your hands aren t left slippery Note that long term contact with used engine oil can be a health hazard DO keep loose clothing cuffs ties etc and long hair well out of the way of moving mechanical parts DO remove rings wristwatch etc before working on the vehicle especially the electrical system DO keep your work area tidy it is only too easy to fall over articles left lying around DO exercise caution when compressing springs for removal or instal lation Ensure that the tension is applied and released in a controlled manner using suitable tools which preclude the possibility of the spring escaping violently DO ensure that any lifting tackle used has a safe working load rating adequate fcr the job DO get someone to check periodically that all is well when working alone on the vehicle DO carry out work in a logical sequence and check that everything is correctly assembled and tightened afterwards DO remember that your vehicle s safety affects that of yourself and others If in doubt on any point get professional advice IF in spite of following these precautions you are unfortunate enoug to injure yourself seek medical attention as soon as possible Asbestos Certain friction insulating sealing and other products such a brake pads clutch linings gaskets etc contain asbestos Extrem care must be taken to avoid inhalation of dust from such produc since it is hazardous to health It in doubt assume that they do conta asbestos Fire Remember at all times that gasoline petrol is highly flammabl Never smoke or have any kind of naked flame around when workin on the vehicle But the risk does not end there a spark caused by a electrical short circuit by two metal surfaces contacting each other b careless use of tools or even by static electricity built up in your bod under certain conditions can Ignite gasoline petrol vapor which In confined space is highly explosive Never use gasoline petrol as cleaning solvent Use an approved safety solvent Always disconnect the battery ground earth terminal befo working on any part of the fuel or electrical system and never ris spilling fuel on to a hot engine or exhaust It is recommended that a fire extinguisher of a type suitable f fuel and electrical fires is kept handy in the garage or workplace at a times Never try to extinguish a fuel or electrical fire with water Fumes Certain fumes are highly toxic and can quickly caus unconsciousness and even death if inhaled to any extent Gasolin petrol vapor comes into this category as do the vapors from certa solvents such as trichloroethylene Any draining or pouring of suc volatile fluids should be done in a well ventilated area When using cleaning fluids and solvents read the instruction carefully Neve use materials from unmarked containers they ma give off poisonous vapors Never run the engine of a motor vehicle in an enclosed spac such as a garage Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which extremely poisonous if you need to run the engine always do so in th open air or at least have the rear of the vehicle outside he workplace The battery Never cause a spark or allow a naked light near the vehicle battery It will normally be giving off a certain amount of hydrogen ga which is highly explosive Always disconnect the battery ground earth terminal befor working on the fuel or electrical systems except where noted If possible loosen the filler plugs or cover when charging th battery from an external source Do not charge at an excessive rate the battery may burst Take care when topping up cleaning or carrying the battery Th acid electrolyte even when diluted is very corrosive and should not b allowed to contact the eyes or skin Always wear rubber gloves an goggles or a face shield If you ever need to prepare electrolyte yours always add the acid slowly to the water never add the water to the ac Electricity When using an electric power tool inspection light etc alway ensure that the appliance is correctly connected to its plug and tha where necessary it is properly grounded earthed Do not use suc appliances in damp conditions and again beware of creating a spa or applying excessive heat in the vicinity of fuel or fuel vapor Als ensure that the appliances meet national safety standards A severe electric shock can result from touching certain parts the electrical system such as the spark plug wires HT leads whe the engine is running or being cranked particularly if components ar damp or the insulation is defective Where an electronic ignitio system is used the secondary HT voltage is much higher and cou prove fatal
