hale ammonia vapours. Do not allow reduction
agent to come into contact with clothing, skin
or eyes, and do not swallow it. Keep children
away from reduction agents.

Service products, for example oils, greases,
coolants and fuels, can contain substances that
are harmful to health. There is a danger of in‐
jury or even death. Please comply with the in‐
structions on the containers. Do not allow serv‐
ice products to come into contact with clothing,
skin or eyes. Do not pour service products into
other bottles. Keep service products out of the
reach of children.

aggressive. There is a risk of material damage.
