Safe Servicing of Cooling System
An explosive release of fluids from the cooling system
can cause serious burns.
Shut off the engine. Remove the filler cap only when it is
cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen the
filler cap to the first stop to relieve any pressure before
removing the cap completely.
Remove Paint before Welding or Heating
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust. Hazardous fumes
can be generated when paint is heated by welding,
soldering or using a cutting torch.
Always work outside in a well-ventilated area. Dispose of
paint and solvent properly in an environment-friendly
way.
Always remove paint before welding or heating. Wear an
approved respirator when grinding off the paint and avoid
inhaling the dust.
If a solvent or paint stripper is used, remove the stripper
with soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or
paint stripper containers and other flammable material
from the area. Allow fumes to disperse before welding or
heating.
Batteries
A lead acid battery will generate flammable and explosive
gases. Keep sparks and flames away from the battery.
Sulphuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and
cause blindness if splashed i nto eyes.
If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, flush with water
immediately. If acid contacts eyes get immediate medical
help.
Tyres and Wheels
Never weld on a wheel or rim that has a tyre on it.
Never attempt to mount or remove a tyre without the
proper equipment, tyre safety cage, or instructions. You
should be trained and qualified to perform the work
safely. Failure to follow the correct procedure when
mounting a tire on a wheel or rim may cause it to e x-
plode, resulting in serious injury. Tyre repairs must be
performed by trained and qualified personnel.
