GENERAL
Reporting Safety Defects
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which
could cause a crash, injury, or death, you should im-
mediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying E.D.
Etnyre & Co.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open
an investigation. If it finds a safety defect exists in a
group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between you, your dealer, or
E.D. Etnyre & Co.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Auto Safety
Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123 in
the Washington, D.C. area). Or, you may write to: U.S.
Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20696.
You may also obtain other information about motor
vehicle safety from the Auto Safety Hotline.

WARNING
Fluoroelastomer handling
Some “O” rings and seals used in this vehicle
are made from fluoroelastomers. When used
under design conditions, fluoroelastomers do
not require special handling. However, when
fluoroelastomers are heated to temperatures
beyond their design temperature (around 600
degrees Fahrenheit), decomposition may
occur with the formation of hydrofluoric acid.
Hydrofluoric acid can be extremely corrosive to
human tissue if not handled properly.
A degraded seal may appear as a charred or
black sticky mass. Do not touch either the seal
or the surrounding equipment without wearing
neoprene or PVC gloves if degradation is
suspected. Wash parts and equipment with
10% lime water (calcium hydroxide solution) to
neutralize any hydrofluoric acid.
If contact with the skin occurs, wash the
affected areas immediately with water. Then
rub a 2.5 calcium gluconate gel into the skin
until there is no further irritation, while seeking
prompt medical attention.
Note to physicians: For advice or treatment of
HF Burns, call the DuPont Medical Emergency
Number 1-800-441-3637.
