Chemical Materials
See also Legal Aspects.
Chemical materials such as solvents, sealers,
adhesives, paints, resin foams, battery acids,
antifreeze, brake fluids, fuels, oils and grease
should always be used with caution and stored and
handled with care. They may be toxic, harmful,
corrosive, irritant or highly flammable and give rise
to hazardous fumes and dusts.
The effects of excessive exposure to chemicals
may be immediate or delayed; briefly experienced
or permanent; cumulative; superficial; life
threatening; or may reduce life expectancy.
Chemical Materials - Do's
– Do carefully read and observe hazard and precaution warnings given on material
containers (labels) and in any accompanying
leaflets, posters or other instructions. Material
health and safety data sheets can be obtained
from manufacturers.
– Do remove chemical materials from the skin and clothing as soon as practicable after soiling.
Change heavily soiled clothing and have it
cleaned.
– Do organize work practices and protective clothing to avoid soiling of the skin and eyes;
breathing vapors, aerosols, dusts or fumes;
inadequate container labeling; fire and explosion
hazards.
– Do wash before job breaks, before eating, smoking, drinking or using toilet facilities when
handling chemical materials.
– Do keep work areas clean, uncluttered and free of spills.
– Do store chemical materials according to national and local regulations.
– Do keep chemical materials out of the reach of children.
Chemical Materials - Do Nots
– Do not mix chemical materials except under themanufacturers instructions; some chemicals can
form other toxic or harmful chemicals, give off
toxic or harmful fumes or become explosive
when mixed together.
– Do not spray chemical materials, particularly those based on solvents, in confined spaces,
for example when people are inside a vehicle.
– Do not apply heat or flame to chemical materials except under the manufacturers instructions.
Some are highly flammable and some may
release toxic or harmful fumes.
– Do not leave containers open. Fumes given off can build up to toxic, harmful or explosive
concentrations. Some fumes are heavier than
air and will accumulate in confined areas such
as pits.
– Do not transfer chemical materials to unlabelled containers.
– Do not clean hands or clothing with chemicals. Chemicals, particularly solvents and fuels, will
dry the skin and may cause irritation leading to

toxic or harmful quantities.
– Do not use emptied containers for other materials except when they have been cleaned
under supervised conditions.
– Do not sniff or smell chemical materials. Brief exposure to high concentrations of fumes can
be toxic or harmful.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)
There is concern in the scientific community that
CFCs and Halons are depleting the upper ozone
layer which filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Decreased filtration of ultraviolet radiation may
result in increases in skin cancer, cataracts and
immune system suppression in humans, as well
as decreased productivity of crops and aquatic
systems.
CFCs are used primarily as refrigerants in vehicle
air conditioning systems and as aerosol
propellants. Halons are used as fire extinguishants.
Clutch Fluids
See Brake fluids.
Clutch Linings and Pads
SeeAsbestos.
Corrosion Protection Materials
See also Solvents, Fire.
Highly flammable, flammable – observe No
Smoking policy.
These materials are varied and the manufacturers
instructions must be followed. They may contain
solvents, resins or petroleum products. Skin and
eye contact should be avoided. They should only
be sprayed in conditions of adequate ventilation
and not in confined spaces.
Cutting
See Welding.
Dewaxing
SeeSolvents andFuels (Kerosene).
Dusts
Powder, dusts or clouds may be irritant, harmful
or toxic. Avoid breathing dusts from powdery
chemical materials or those arising from dry
abrasion operations. Wear respiratory protection
if ventilation is inadequate.
Fine dusts of combustible material can present an
explosion hazard. Avoid explosive limits and
sources of ignition.
Electric Shock
Electric shock can result from the use of faulty
electrical equipment or from the misuse of
equipment in good condition.
Make sure that electrical equipment is maintained
in good condition and frequently tested. Faulty
equipment should be labeled and preferably
removed from the workstation.
Make sure that flexes, cables, plugs and sockets
are not frayed, kinked, cut, cracked or otherwise
damaged.
Make sure that electrical equipment and flexes do
not come into contact with water.
Make sure that electrical equipment is protected
by the correct rated fuse.
Never misuse electrical equipment and never use
equipment that is in any way faulty. The results
could be fatal.
Make sure that the cables of mobile electrical
equipment cannot get trapped and damaged, such
as in a vehicle hoist.
Make sure that the designated electrical workers
are trained in basic First Aid.
In cases of electrocution:
– switch off the power supply before approaching
the victim.
– if this is not possible push or drag the victim from the source of electricity using dry
non-conductive material.
– commence resuscitation if trained to do so.

High Pressure Air, Lubrication and Oil
Test Equipment
See alsoLubricants and Greases.
Always keep high-pressure equipment in good
condition, and regularly maintained, particularly at
joints and unions.
Never direct a high-pressure nozzle, for example
diesel injector, at the skin as the fluid may
penetrate to the underlying tissue, and cause
serious injury.
Halon
See CFCs.
Legal Aspects
There are many laws and regulations relating to
health and safety in the use and disposal of
materials and equipment in a workshop.
For a safe working environment and to avoid
environmental pollution, workshops should be
familiar, in detail, with the many health and safety
laws and regulations within their country, published
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
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.

TIM0103001
WARNING: Make sure that the ends of the
jumper cables do not touch each other or
ground against the vehicle body at any
time while the cables are attached to the
battery. A fully charged battery, if shorted
through jumper cables, can discharge at
a rate well above 1000 amps causing
violent arcing and very rapid heating of the
jumper cables and terminals, and can even
cause the battery to explode. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
personal injury.
Always connect the jumper cables in the following
sequence:
– Slave battery positive first and then vehicle battery positive.
– Slave battery negative next and then vehicle ground at least 12 inches (300 mm) from the
battery terminal, for example engine lifting eye.
Always reduce the engine speed to idle before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
Before removing the jumper cables from the vehicle
that had the discharged battery, switch on the
heater blower (high) or the heated rear window, to
reduce the voltage peak when the cables are
removed.
Always disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse
order to the connecting sequence and do not short
the ends of the cables.
Do not rely on the generator to restore a
discharged battery. For a generator to recharge a
battery, it would take in excess of eight hours
continuous driving with no additional loads placed
on the battery.
Component Cleaning
To prevent the ingress of dirt, accumulations of
loose dirt and greasy deposits should be removed before disconnecting or dismantling components
or assemblies.
Components should be thoroughly cleaned before
inspection prior to reassembly.
Cleaning Methods:
– Dry cleaning.
– Removal of loose dirt with soft or cable brushes.
– Scraping dirt off with a piece of metal or wood.
– Wiping off with a rag.
WARNING: Wear eye protection when
cleaning vehicle components with
compressed air, a steam cleaner or a
power washer. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
Compressed air is sometimes 'wet' so use
with caution, especially on hydraulic
systems.
To prevent damage to the electrical
connectors in the engine compartment, do
not use a steam cleaner or a power washer
to clean the engine compartment.
– Blowing dirt off with compressed air.
– Removal of dry dust using vacuum equipment. This method must always be used to remove
friction lining material dust (asbestos particles).
– Steam cleaning.
WARNING: Most solvents require careful
handling and some are harmful. Refer to
Health and Safety Precautions and to the
manufacturers literature for the relevant
safety precautions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
Various solvents are available which are suitable
for component cleaning. Some components, such
as brake hydraulic parts and electrical assemblies
should be cleaned only with recommended solvents
— refer to Solvents, Sealers and Adhesives or to
the section of the manual relevant to the
component.
Calibration of Essential Measuring
Equipment
WARNING: Equipment, which requires
regular calibration, must be calibrated in
accordance with the manufacturers

Road/Roller Testing
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
WARNING: If 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
NOTE: 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 km/h
(15 miles/h). 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
CAUTION: If 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.

Item
Activated charcoal filter

Filter masks with wadding, sponge or colloid filters
and also paper masks are all unsuitable for working
with coating materials because they do not stop
solvent vapors.
Eye protection
Cutting grinding welding solvents and paint bear
fundamental risks for your eyes.
Damage ranging from irritation of the cornea to
incurable illnesses is possible.
Solvents and paint – even water based – could not
only be absorbed via your skin but also via your
eyes.
Therefore always wear the appropriate eye
protection for your work.
Protective goggles must be inert toward splashes
of solvent, and must have side protection. Best
protection during spray painting is offered by full
mask respirators or helmet respirators with built-in
visor.
Skin protection
Spray painters must wear suitable protective work
clothing (flame-proof and anti-static). Also, when
working with water based materials, comprehensive
skin protection must be worn, because these
materials are very easily absorbed through the
skin.
Change your protective clothing at proper intervals.
Clothes contaminated with coating materials can
easily catch fire.
Do not choose clothes or underwear with a large
content of easy melting synthetic fiber, because
this material considerably increases the danger
and degree of injuries (melted plastic on the skin!). For areas of the skin which are not covered by
protective clothing suitable skin protection cleaning
and care agents must be used.
Ear protection
Cutting grinding compressors and extractor fans
and ducts are the main sources of noise in body
and paint shops.
Always wear suitable ear protection like ear plugs
or ear defenders.
Protection of the vehicle
Protect affected areas from weld spatter and dust
during all welding and grinding work on the vehicle.
If metallic dust stays on the vehicle for some time,
there is the likelihood of film rust formation.
Grinding produces tiny spots of damage to the paint
surface, which may cause corrosion. Also use
suitable protective measures to protect the interior
when performing repair operations which relate to
the inside of the vehicle.
For this reason, make sure to:
• Use carbon fiber blankets to protect the vehicle
body and the interior.
• Use covering film to protect the vehicle body from grinding dust and metal dust.
• Use covering paper to protect the interior from grinding dust.
In addition, take into account:
• Remove fuel supply components as necessary.
• Protect working areas which are in danger of catching fire with a fireproof blanket.
• Keep heat away from all components of the air conditioning system.
• Remove all components in the space adjoining the repair area.
Electronic components
Increased use of comfort and safety electronics in
modern vehicles requires additional attention to be
paid during body work.
Over voltages produced during welding can cause
electronic systems to be damaged. In particular,
the safety instructions for performing welding work
on vehicles with airbag systems must be adhered
to.
WARNING: After disconnecting the power
supply and before performing further work,
a wait time of up to 15 minutes must be
