Safety Rules (Continued)
Updated 4-12-17
Do not use a chlorinated solvent in an area where
welding will occur. Work only in areas that are well
ventilated. Dispose of paint and solvent properly.
Service Cooling System Safely
!
WARNING
Opening a pressurized cooling
system can release explosive fluids
and causing serious burns.
Before opening any pressurized
cooling system, make sure the
engine has been shut off. Do
not remove a filler cap unless it is cool enough to
comfortably grip with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to
relieve pressure before opening fully.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
!
WARNING
Relieve pressure prior to
disconnecting pressurized
lines. Escaping fluid under
pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury.
Always relieve pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic or other pressurized lines. Tighten all
connections firmly before re-applying pressure.
If searching for leaks, use a piece of cardboard.
Always protect your hands and other body parts from
high-pressure fluids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any
high pressure spray injected into the skin must be
removed within a few hours to prevent the risk of
gangrene or other infection.
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized Fluid Lines
!
WARNING
Flammable spray can be generated
by heating near pressurized fluid
lines, resulting in severe burns and
bodily injury. Pressurized lines
can rupture when heat goes beyond
the immediate flame area. Do not weld, solder or use
a torch or open flame near pressurized lines or other
flammable fluids.
Handle Chemical Products Safely
!
WARNING
Direct exposure to hazardous
chemicals can cause serious
injury. Among the potentially
hazardous chemicals that may be
used with Northern Lights
products are lubricants, coolants,
paints and adhesives.
All potentially hazardous chemicals come with a Material
Data Safety Sheet (MSDS). The MSDS provides specific
details on chemical products, including physical hazards,
safety procedures and emergency response techniques
Read and understand the MSDS for each chemical before
you start any job that includes it. Follow the procedures
and use appropriate equipment exactly as recommended.
Contact your Northern Lights dealer or Northern Lights
factory for MSDS’s used on Northern Lights products.
Work in Well Ventilated Areas
!
CAUTION
Exhaust fumes from engines contain carbon monoxide
and can cause sickness or death. Work in well ventilated
areas to avoid prolonged exposure to engine fumes. If it
is necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, route
the exhaust fumes out of the area with an approved, leak
proof exhaust pipe extension.
Remove Paint Before Welding or Heating
!
WARNING
Hazardous fumes can be
generated when paint is heated
by welding, soldering or using a
torch. To avoid potentially toxic
fumes and dust, remove paint
before heating.
•
Remove paint a minimum of 100 mm (4 in.) from the
area that will be affected by heat.
•
If paint cannot be removed, wear an approved respirator.
• If you sand or grind paint, use an approved respirator.
• If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper
with soap and water before welding. Remove
solvent or paint stripper containers from the area.
• Allow at least 15 minutes for fumes to disperse
before welding or heating.
