Prevent Explosions and Fires
Fuels and their vapors will explode or burn, if ignited. Spilled or leaking fuels and used filters cause vapors. All used
filters should be promptly placed in an approved safety container until disposed of.
Even filling air compressor fuel tanks will cause potentially dangerous vapors in the vicinity of the work area.
Working Alone
It is highly recommended that someone who is capable of rendering first aid be present during operation. Familiarize
yourself with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) methods, while working around fuel vapors. This information is
available from the American Red Cross. Always advise other personnel about where you will be working, and cau-
tion them not to activate power tools or engines while you are working with fuel filtration equipment. Use the OSHA
Lockout/Tagout procedures. If you are not familiar with this requirement, refer to OSHA documentation.
Hazardous Materials
Some materials may present a health hazard if not handled correctly. Ensure that you clean hands after handling
equipment. Do not place any equipment in the mouth.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN
