by both national and local authorities.
Lubricants and Greases
Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with
mineral oils. All lubricants and greases may be
irritating to the eyes and skin.
'
Transmission Fluids
Safety instructions
Certain Transmission and Power Steering fluids
supplied to Ford may contain additives which have
the potential to cause skin disease (dermatitis) to
exposed persons. The dermatitis may be irritant
or allergic in nature. Risks are higher where
prolonged or repeated skin contact with a fluid may
occur. These fluids are used for vehicle initial
fill
and service purposes. This sub-section is to:
Inform Service personnel who may come into
contact with these vehicle fluids (hazard
communication).
Summarise appropriate workplace control
measures and personal protective equipment
requirements.
Draw attention to the existence of Material
Safety Datasheets (MSDS's) for the fluids
(available from Ford Customer Service Division).
These MSDS's contain detailed information on
hazards and appropriate controls.
Control measures
Workplace risk assessments made under national
chemical control regulations should identify
operations involving the fluids as potentially
hazardous and specify workplace control and
worker awareness measures. In such
circumstances, the relevant Material Safety
Datasheet (see the details specified below) which
specifies hazards and control measures in detail
should be made available for guidance.
Avoid unprotected skin contact with the fluids, and
in particular, avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact. Work practices should be organised so as
to minimise the potential for skin contact. This may
include the use of drip trays, absorbents, correct
fluid handling equipment (funnels etc), and
workplace housekeeping measures such as the
cleaning of contaminated surfaces.
Personnel engaged in operations where skin
contact could occur (such as fluid draining or filling)
should wear impervious gloves made from
nitrile
rubber, certified to a chemical protection standard,
e.g. Europe Standard EN374. This glove type is
widely available from reputable suppliers of gloves
for chemical protection [including the manufacturers
Ansell-Admont
(Solvex Range), North Safety
products (North
Nitrile Latex Gloves range), and

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Marigold Industrial (Blue Nitrile range)]. If gloves
become torn or contaminated on the inside they
should be replaced. Eye protection with safety
glasses is appropriate. Use of an impervious apron
and arm protectors may be necessary if more
extensive exposure is possible. Use of skin barrier
creams suitable for work with mineral oil products
may offer some supplementary protection, but such
barrier creams should not be used in place of
protective clothing.
If accidental skin contact occurs with the fluids,
wash the area thoroughly with soap or skin
cleanser and water.
Accidental eye contact should be dealt with as per
normal first aid practices, by flushing the eyes with
an eye wash or clean cool water for
10 minutes,
after which medical attention should be obtained.
Remove and launder clothing which becomes
contaminated with the fluids. Do not place rags
contaminated with fluid in clothing pockets.
Wash thoroughly
after completing operations where
skin exposure may have occurred.
It is important that personnel do not smoke, eat or
drink whilst handling the fluids or affected
transmissions. These measures are designed to
limit the risk from accidental ingestion.
Label any decanted fluid
properlyluse an equivalent
label to that on original product containers.
Clean up any spills promptly using an inert
absorbent and wash down contaminated surfaces
with detergent and water.
Dispose of any waste fluids safely as hazardous
waste. Do
not employ used engine oils as lubricants or
for any application where appreciable skin contact
is likely to occur.
Environmental Precautions
Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or
boilers can be recommended only for units of
.
approved design. If in doubt check with the
appropriate local authority and manufacturer of
approved appliances.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through
authorized waste disposal contractors or licensed
waste disposal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation
trade. If in doubt, contact the relevant local
authority for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down
sewers or drains, or into watercourses.
Noise
Some operations may produce high noise levels,
which could, in time, damage hearing. In these
cases, suitable ear protection must be worn.
Noise Insulation Materials
See Foams, Fibre Insulation.
0-Rings (Fluoroelastomer)

Safety Data Sheets, which detail specific material handling instructions and precautions are available
from the respective national sales company, and
via internet
www.msds.ford .corn.
Used Engine Oil
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil
will result in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
In addition, used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants, which may cause skin
cancer. Adequate means of skin protection and
washing facilities must be provided. Highly flammable, flammable

Underseal Welding
See
also Fire, Electric Shock, Gas Cylinders. (
Welding processes include Resistance Welding
(Spot Welding), Arc Welding and Gas Welding.
See Corrosion Protection.
Resistance Welding
Viton
In common with many other manufacturers
vehicles, some components have O-rings, seals
or gaskets, which contain a material known as
'Viton'.
Viton is a fluoroelastomer, that is a synthetic rubber
type material, which contains Fluorine. It is
commonly used for O-rings, gaskets and seals of
all types. Although Viton is the most well known
fluoroelastomer, there are others, including
Fluorel
and Tecmoflon.
When used under design conditions
fluoroelastomers are perfectly safe. If, however,
they are exposed to temperatures in excess of
400°C, the material will not burn, but will
decompose, and one of the products formed is
hydrofluoric acid.
This acid is extremely corrosive and may be
absorbed directly, through contact, into the general
body system.
O-rings, seals or gaskets which have been exposed
to very high temperatures will appear charred or
as a black sticky substance.
DO NOT; under any circumstances touch them or
the attached components.
Enquiries should be made to determine whether
Viton or any other fluoroelastomer has been used
in the affected O-ring, seal or gasket. If they are of
natural rubber or
nitrile there is no hazard. If in
doubt, be cautious, as the material may be Viton
or any fluoroelastomer.
If Viton or any other fluoroelastomers have been
used, the affected area should be decontaminated
before the commencement of work.
Disposable heavy duty plastic gloves should be
worn at all times, and the affected area washed
down using wire wool and a limewater (calcium
hydroxide) solution to neutralize the acid before
disposing of the decomposed Viton residue and
final cleaning of the area. After use, the plastic
gloves should be discarded carefully and safely. This process may cause particles of molten metal
to
be emitted at a high velocity, and the eyes and
skin must be protected.
Arc Welding
This process emits a high level of ultra-violet radiation, which may cause arc-eye, and skin burns
to the operator and to other persons nearby.
Gas-shielded welding processes are particularly
hazardous in this respect. Personal protection must
be worn, and screens used to shield other
~eo~le. . .
CONTACT LENS WEARERS ARE ADVISED TO
REVERT TO ORDINARY SPECTACLES WHEN
ARC WELDING as the arc spectrum is believed to
emit microwaves which dry out the fluid between
the lens and the eye. This may result in blindness
when the lens is removed from the eve.
Metal spatter will also occur, and appropriate eye
and skin protection is necessary.
The heat of the welding arc will produce fumes and
gases from the metals being welded, the rods and
from any applied coatings or contamination on the
surfaces being worked on. These gases and fumes
may be toxic and inhalation of these should be
avoided. The use of extraction ventilation to remove
the fumes from the working area may be necessary
particularly in cases where the general ventilation
is poor, or where considerable welding work is
anticipated. In extreme cases or confined spaces
where adequate ventilation cannot be provided,
air-fed respirators may be necessary.
Gas Welding (and Cutting)
Oxy-acetylene torches may be used for welding
and cutting, and special care must be taken to
prevent leakage of these gases, with consequent
risk of fire and explosion.

The process will produce metal spatter and eye "
and skin protection is necessary.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
RoadIRoller Testing
I Road or roller testing may be carried out for various
reasons and a procedure detailing pre-test checks,
engine starting and stopping, pre-driving checks,
on-test checks and final checks to be completed
on completion of the test is given below.
Unless complete vehicle performance is being
checked, the full road test procedure need not be
carried out. Instead, those items particularly
relevant to the
system(s) being checked can be
extracted.
Pre-Test Checks
A WARNING:lf the brake system hydraulic
fluid level is low, pedal travel is excessive
or a hydraulic leak is found, do not attempt
to road test the vehicle until the reason for
the low fluid level, excessive pedal travel
or hydraulic leak is found and rectified.
It is suggested that pre-test checks and functional
tests of those systems and circuits which affect the
safe and legal operations of the vehicle, such as
( , brakes, lights and steering, should always be
carried out before the road or roller test.
With the ignition switched off, check:
- the engine oil level.
- the engine coolant level.
- the tires, for correct pressure, compatible types
and tread patterns, and wear within limits.
- that there is sufficient fuel in the tank to
complete the test.
- all around the engine, transmission and under
the vehicle for oil, coolant, hydraulic and fuel
leaks. Make a note of any apparent leaks and
wipe off the surrounding areas to make it easier
to identify the extent of the leak on completion
of the test.
Starting the Engine
N0TE:On initial drive away from cold and within
the first 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress the
accelerator pedal beyond half travel until the
vehicle has attained a minimum speed of
25 kmlh
(15 mileslh). Never operate at high engine speed
or with the accelerator pedal at full travel whilst the
engine is cold.
With the ignition switched off, check:
- that the parking brake is applied.
- that the gear lever is in the neutral position.
- that all instrument gauges (except fuel gauge)
read zero.
With the ignition switched on, check:
- that the ignition controlled warning lamps are
illuminated.
- that the engine temperature gauge registers a reading compatible with the engine temperature.
- that the fuel gauge registers a reading
appropriate to the fuel level in the tank.
- the operation of the parking brake warning lamp
and fluid level warning indicator.
Road or Roller Testing
A CAUTI0N:lf road testing, check the brake
operation while still traveling at low speed
before continuing with the test. If the
brakes pull to one side, or appear to be
otherwise faulty, do not continue with the
road test until the fault has been found and
rectified.
During the road or roller test, check:
- that the clutch pedal operation is not stiff or
heavy.
- that the initial gear engagement is smooth and
there is no evidence of clutch drag.
- that the parking brake control operates smoothly
and releases quickly and completely.
- that the clutch takes up the drive smoothly,
without slip or judder.
- that gear changing is smooth with no abnormal
noises or vibrations from the transmission.
- the engine power output is satisfactory, full
power is achieved, acceleration is smooth and
pedal operation is not stiff or heavy, and engine
speed returns to idle correctly.
- there is no excessive or abnormally colored
smoke from the engine under normal driving,
heavy load or overrun conditions.
- that steering operation, including power steering
(if equipped), is smooth, accurate, not
excessively heavy or with excessive free play
or vibration.
- that the steering does not pull to one side and
self centers smoothly after cornering.

Brake Testing
A WARNING:When brake testing, avoid
breathing the fumes from hot brakes, this
may contain asbestos dust which is
hazardous to health. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
For additional information, refer to: Health
and Safety Precautions
(1 00-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
CAUTIONS:
A Avoid brake testing on busy roads where
it may cause inconvenience or danger to
other road users.
A Brake testing which includes heavy brake
applications should not be carried out with
new brake
padsldiscs or liningsldrums
until the components have bedded-in. New
brake friction components will not reach
full efficiency until the bedding-in process
is complete.
Test the brakes at several speeds within the normal
operating range using both light and heavy pedal
pressure. Note any tendency to snatch, pull or
drag, and any undue delay in application or
