(5) When handling the battery
If battery electrolyte leaks while handling the battery,
the sulfuric acid contained in the electrolyte may
cause burns.
The lead components in battery electrolyte are toxic,
so be sure to wear protective gloves and protective
clothing.
Do not forget to wash your hands after handling the
battery.
If a part of your body not protected by personal pro-
tective equipment comes into direct contact with bat-
tery electrolyte, immediately wash the affected part
with flowing water for 20 minutes or more, and then
see a doctor without delay.
If you accidentally swallow battery electrolyte, drink lots of water and do not forcibly induce vomiting,
and then see a doctor without delay.
(6) When hanlding refrigerant
Make sure you wear protective goggles, protective
gloves and other personal protective equipment
when handling refrigerant to prevent direct contact of
the skin with the refrigerant.
Wear protective gloves made of materials that are re-
sistant to chemicals (such as neoprene and butyl
rubber).
Never smoke when handing refrigerant.
If refrigerant comes into direct contact with the skin,
wash the skin with warm water immediately.
(7) When handling coolants
After operation of the machine the coolant is of high
temperature and high pressure, and is retained in-
side the engine radiator and the heater line. Direct
contact of the skin with the coolant may result in seri-
ous burns. Open the cap of the radiator only after the
engine has sufficiently cooled and the pressure has
dropped to a safe level.
Coolant contains toxic and combustible ethylene gly-
col, and should be handled in a cool, well-ventilated
place only when wearing protective goggles, protec-
tive gloves, protective clothing, and a gas mask.
Avoid inhaling airborne particles or spray from cool-
ant. If the substances make contact with skin or eyes
that are not protected by personal protection gear,
immediately wash the skin and eye with flowing water
for 20 minutes or longer.
