SAFETY
You will Not need to use Welding or Grinding equipment in the
Building of a WESTFIELD Sports Car, however, it is VERY IMPORTANT
that you take ALL necessary SAFETY Precautions.
1. ALWAYS WEAR:
- Goggles or Protective Glasses when Drilling.
- Protective Gloves when Handling Fibreglass.
2. DO NOT Guess at the Torque Settings.
- Always refer to the Torque Settings Table.
- If you do not own a Torque Wrench, then hire one from a Good
Quality Hire Shop.
3. IT IS ESSENTIAL that the Supports placed Under the Chassis during
the Build Process are Suitable and SAFE for use.
- WESTFIELD SPORTS CARS manufacture Chassis Support Frames that
are Designed Specifically for the Purpose and are available from the
Factory.
4. DO NOT use Bricks, Building Blocks or Wooden Packing Cases.
- Bricks and building blocks are NOT suitable as they are liable to
topple.
- Wooden Packing Cases are NOT suitable, as they are liable to Crush
as the Weight of the Car increases during the Build Process.
5. DO NOT Connect the BTVE Lead until the Wiring Loom has
been Fully Installed and ALL Earth Cables have been Connected.
- The Battery MUST NOT be connected until ALL TESTS have been
completed.
6. DO NOT Fill the Fuel Tank until the car is complete.
- The Fuel Tank MUST NOT be filled until all of the 'SET-UP' Tests
have been completed.
7. PLEASE take Care with Brake Fluid and Brake Fluid Spillage.
8. ALWAYS have a Suitable Fire Extinguisher at Hand.
Have FUN but please, be SAFE!
