1.1 GOOD WORKSHOP PRACTICES AND
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
•
Always ensure that all the repair /
maintenance work carried out should be as
per the instructions provided in the workshop
manual.
•
Use protective clothing, apron, hand gloves,
and safety shoes while working in the
workshop.
•
Do not wear watch, rings and belt while
serving the vehicle.
•
Keep your work area, equipment and tools
clean at all times.
•
Make sure you use the proper tool for the job
and use it the right way. The improper tool or
its incorrect use can damage the part you are
working on or cause injury or both.
•
Never keep the tools on the floor/vehicle. The
tools should be kept in the tool box after use.
•
Cover fenders, seats, steering wheel and any
other parts those are likely to get
scratched/soiled before starting any service
work.
•
While servicing the vehicle in engine running
condition make sure that the gear shifting
lever is in neutral position and parking brake
is fully applied. Never run the engine without
proper ventilation and adequate means of
getting rid of exhaust gases.
•
Prior to removing or disassembling parts, they
must be inspected carefully to isolate the
cause for which the service is called for.
•
All the reusable dismantled components must
be kept in clean enamel coated white tray
sequentially in an orderly manner to facilitate
their accurate and proper reinstallation.
•
Never reuse the parts like oil seals, gaskets,
packing, O-rings, locking washers, split pins,
self locking nuts and certain other parts.
•
Plug the ports / openings of aggregates such
as Common rail / Injectors, HP Pump TMC,
etc., whenever removed from the car.
