SERVICE COOLING SYSTEM SAFELY
FIG. 36: Explosive release of fluids from pressurized
cooling systems 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
FIG. 37: Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is
heated by welding, soldering or using a torch.
Always work outside in a well-ventilated area. Dispose
of paint and solvent properly.
Always remove paint before welding or heating. Wear
an approved respirator to sand or grind paint, avoid
breathing the dust.
If using solvent or paint stripper, 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
FIG. 38: A lead acid battery will generate flammable
and explosive gases. Keep sparks and flames away
from the battery.
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is
strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and
cause blindness if splashed into eyes.
If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, flush with water
immediately. If acid contacts eyes get immediate
medical help.
