GI-32

< PRECAUTION >

PRECAUTIONS

• If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi-

tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace

of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at

that position. 

• Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.

• After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of

the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.

Engine Oils

INFOID:0000000009480224

Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact

with used oil.

If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.

HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS 

• 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 underpants, with oil.

• Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu-

larly.

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

• Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.

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

tions containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.

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

• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

• Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.

• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face

shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.

Air Conditioning
