SERIES 4000 12/16V SERVICE MANUAL
Rinsing Bath
Provide a tank of similar size, filled with hot water, to rinse parts.
Liquid Nitrogen
To avoid injury (freezing of body parts & suffocation), when
using liquid nitrogen, wear eye protection and protective
clothing, gloves and closed shoes.
3 Store liquid nitrogen only in small quantities and always in regulation containers (without
fixed seal).
3 Do not allow liquid nitrogen to come into contact with parts of body (eyes, hands). Liquid
nitrogen causes cold burns and severe frostbite.
3 Wear protective clothing (including gloves and closed shoes) and protective goggles.
3 Ensure good ventilation (suffocation if nitrogen enrichment in inhaled air reaches 88%).
3 Do not subject containers, fittings and tools to impact or shock.
Drying
To avoid injury when blow drying, wear adequate eye
protection (safety glasses or face plate) and do not exceed
276 kPa (40 lb/in.
2 ) air pressure.
Parts may be dried with compressed air. Heat from the hot tanks will frequently dry the parts,
making blow drying unnecessary.
Rust Preventive
If parts are not to be used immediately after cleaning, dip them in a suitable rust preventive
compound. Remove the rust preventive coating before installing the parts.
