1.3 GENERAL WORK PROCEDURES

• The advice, recommendations and warnings given hereafter are aimed at ensuring maximum work safety as

well as at considerably reducing the risk of accidents, personal injury, equipment damage and idle times. They

should therefore be strictly adhered to.

ADVICE:

• Only use quality tools and equipment.

• Only use equipment conforming to EU Directives for lifting the vehicle.

• During operations, always keep tools and equipment at hand, possibly laying them out according to the se-

quence in which they are to be used. Absolutely avoid putting them on the vehicle itself, out-of-sight or in poorly

accessible places.

• Always keep the work area clean and tidy.

• When tightening screws or nuts, start with the larger diameter or inner fasteners, and tighten them in progres-

sive “pulls” in accordance to a “criss-cross” pattern.

• Preferably use open-end box wrenches by “pulling” and not “pushing”.

• Adjustable wrenches (F. 1) should only be used in case of emergency, i.e. when a properly sized wrench is not

available. They should preferably not be used as the movable jaw tends to open thus risking damaging or not

properly tightening the bolt to the correct torque. In any case, when using an adjustable wrench, take care to

proceed as shown in Figure 1.

• Except for occasional customers, always make out and deliver to the customer a work sheet specifying the

operations performed, with notes as to any future checks eventually required.
