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 sequence 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 progressive "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.
