GENERAL INFORMATION
General precautions
Dangerous substances
Modern vehicles contain many materials and liquids
which if not handled with care can be hazardous to
both personal health and the environment.
WARNING: Many liquids and other substances
used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should
under no circumstances be consumed and
should, as far as possible, be kept from contact
with the skin. These liquids and substances
include acid, anti-freeze, asbestos, brake fluid,
fuel, windscreen washer additives, lubricants,
refrigerants and various adhesives.
Always read carefully the instructions printed on
labels or stamped on components and obey them
implicitly. Such instructions are included for
reasons of your health and personal safety.
Never disregard them.
WARNING: Many of the fluids used in motor
vehicles, such as coolant, brake fluid and power
steering fluid, are inflammable. Take care not to
spill fluids when topping-up, a fire may result. If
spillage does occur, ensure the area is
thoroughly cleaned before starting the engine.
Synthetic rubber
Many 'O' rings, seals, hoses, flexible pipes and other
similar items which appear to be natural rubber, are
in fact, made of synthetic materials called
Fluoroelastomers.
Under normal operating conditions this material is
safe and does not present a health hazard. However,
if the material is damaged by fire or excessive
heating, it can break down and produce highly
corrosive Hydrofluoric acid which can cause serious
burns on contact with skin.
If skin contact does occur:
lRemove any contaminated clothing
immediately.
lIrrigate effected area of skin with a copious
amount of cold water or limewater for 15 to 60
minutes.
lObtain medical assistance immediately.
Should any material be in a burnt or over-heated
condition, handle with extreme caution and wear
protective clothing (seamless industrial gloves,
protective apron etc.). Decontaminate and dispose of
gloves immediately after use.Lubricating oils
WARNING: Avoid excessive skin contact with used
engine oil. Used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer
or other serious skin disorders.
WARNING: Avoid excessive skin contact with
mineral oil. Mineral oils remove the natural fats from
the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
Health protection precautions
The following precautions should be observed at all
times:
lAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
lWear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
lDo not put oily rags in pockets.
lAvoid contaminating clothes (particularly those
next to the skin) with oil.
lOveralls must be cleaned regularly. Discard
heavily soiled clothing and oil impregnated
footwear.
lFirst aid treatment should be obtained
immediately for open cuts and wounds.
lUse barrier creams: apply before each work
period to help prevent lubricating oil from
contaminating the skin.
lWash with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed (propriety skin cleansers and nail
brushes will help).
lUse moisturisers after cleaning; preparations
