| t
| Breathing in the autogas can influence your ability of perception and cause considerable damage to your lungs. There is a risk of suffocation due to lack of oxygen with higher concentrations. |
| t
| Autogas is not odourless as odour intensive substances have been mixed into it. |
|
WARNING | Hazard due to escaping gas. |
| The system is pressurised. |
| Meet suitable safety measures, e.g. always wear gloves, protective glasses, antistatic shoes and clothing made from natural materials (antistatic). |
| When repairing leaks, use suitable tools (attachment piece made from bronze) in order to avoid sparks. |
| Do not use compressed air to remove gas remnants during the repair procedure. |
| Wrap a cloth around the connection before opening the fuel system. Then release pressure by carefully loosening the connecting position. |
|
Caution | When performing any assembly work, especially when working in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: |
| t
| Fit the autogas lines back in the same position as they originally were. |
