Safety precautions
WARNING:
Observe the following for all installations, especially in engine compartment due to lack of room:
- Route lines of all types (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.
- Watch for sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.
- The fuel or fuel lines in fuel system can become very hot (danger of scalding)!
- Wear protective goggles and protective gloves when working on the fuel system!
- Shift selector lever into position -P- and engage parking brake before working with the engine running.
If special testing equipment is required during road test, note the following:
- Test equipment must always be secured to rear seat and operated from there by a second person.
If test and measuring equipment is operated from the passenger seat, the person seated there could be injured in the event of an accident involving deployment of the passenger-side airbag.
To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the fuel injection and glow plug system, always observe the following:
- Only disconnect and reconnect wires for glow plug and fuel injection systems, including test leads, when ignition is turned off.
- If engine is to be cranked at starting RPM without starting, e.g. for a compression test, disconnect 8-pin harness connector on cylinder head.
