Models 947, 948 and 960 Leak Detectors Operations and Service Manual
xvii
Solvents
CAUTION
The mechanical components of leak detectors are typically
cleaned with alcohol, methanol, or other solvents. When
heated, sprayed, or exposed to high-temperature equipment,
these solvents become flammable and explosive, causing
serious injury or death. Do not use these solvents near a
high-temperature source. Ventilate the working area with a
blower and work in a large, well-ventilated room.
Alcohol, methanol, or other solvents are irritants, narcotics,
depressants and/or carcinogens. Their inhalation and/or
ingestion may produce serious side effects. Prolonged or
continued contact with the skin results in absorption through
the skin and moderate toxicity. Always ensure that cleaning
operations are carried out in large, well-ventilated rooms, and
wear eyeshields, gloves, and protective clothing.
CAUTION
Do not clean any aluminum parts with Alconox
®
. Alconox is
not compatible with aluminum and will cause damage.
NOTE
During reassembly, always use Loctite
®
PST
®
(teflon-impregnated pipe thread compound) on pipe threads.
