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:

Remove any contaminated clothing
immediately.

Irrigate effected area of skin with a copious
amount of cold water or limewater for 15 to 60
minutes.

Obtain 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:

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.

Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.

Do not put oily rags in pockets.

Avoid contaminating clothes (particularly those
next to the skin) with oil.

Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard
heavily soiled clothing and oil impregnated
footwear.

First aid treatment should be obtained
immediately for open cuts and wounds.

Use barrier creams: apply before each work
period to help prevent lubricating oil from
contaminating the skin.

Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed (propriety skin cleansers and nail
brushes will help).

Use moisturisers after cleaning; preparations
containing lanolin help replace the skin's natural
oils which have been removed.

Do not use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas, oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.

Where practicable, degrease components prior
to handling.

Wear eye protection (e.g. goggles or face
shield) if there is a risk of eye contamination.
Eye wash facilities should be provided in the
close vicinity of the work area.

GENERAL INFORMATION

03-2

Environmental Protection Precautions
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down
sewers or drains, or into water courses.

Burning of used engine oil in small space heaters or
boilers should only be considered for units of
approved design and in compliance with the
equipment manufacturer's recommendations. The
heating system must meet the regulatory standards
of HMIP for small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in
doubt check with the appropriate local authority and/
or manufacturer of the approved appliance.

Dispose of used oil and filters through authorised
waste disposal contractors and licensed waste
disposal sites, or through the waste oil reclamation
trade. If in doubt, contact the Local Authority for
advice on disposal facilities.

Safety instructions

Whenever possible, use a lift or pit when working
beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock
wheels as well as applying parking brake.

Jacking
Always use the recommended jacking points. The
recommended jacking points are shown in
theLIFTING AND TOWING sub-section of the
INFORMATION section.

Always ensure that any lifting apparatus has
sufficient load capacity for the weight to be lifted.

Ensure the vehicle is standing on level ground prior
to lifting or jacking.

Apply the handbrake and chock the wheels.

WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle
supported only by a jack. Always support the
vehicle on safety stands.

Do not leave tools, lifting equipment, spilt oil, etc.,
around or on the work bench area. Always keep a
clean and tidy work area.

Brake shoes and pads
Always fit the correct grade and specification of
brake linings. When renewing brake pads and brake
shoes always replace as complete axle sets only.
