Safety Information 5
Compressed Air and Water
Compressed air can cause personal in-
jury. When using compressed air for
cleaning, wear a protective face shield,
protective clothing and protective shoes.
Pressurized water could cause particles
and/or hot water to be sprayed in your
direction and cause personal injury. The
maximum air pressure must be below
30 psi (200 kPa) for cleaning purposes.
Asbestos Information
NOTE! The Volvo engine and replacement
parts for it shipped from the factory are as-
bestos free. Volvo recommends the use of
only genuine Volvo spare parts.
Never use any parts that contain or are
thought to contain asbestos. Exposure to as-
bestos fibers can create serious health risks,
including death.
Fluid Penetration
Always use a piece of paper or
cardboard when checking for a leak. Es-
caping fluid under high pressure, even a
pin-hole sized leak, can penetrate body
tissue, causing serious injury or death. If
fluid is injected into your skin, immedi-
ate treatment must be administered by a
doctor familiar with this type of injury.
