General Information
Coolant
Under some conditions, the ethylene glycol in engine coolant
is combustible and its flame is not visible . If the ethylene
glycol does ignite, you will not see any flame, but you can
be burned .
•
Avoid spilling engine coolant on the exhaust system
or engine parts. They may be hot enough to cause the
coolant to ignite and burn without a visible flame.
Coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause some skin irrita­
tion and is poisonous if swallowed. KEEP OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN.
•
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. The coolant is under pressure and could scald
you.
•
Keep hands and clothing away from the cooling fan,
as it starts automatically.
If it contacts your skin, wash the affected areas immedi­
ately with soap and water. If it contacts your eyes, flush
them thoroughly with fresh water and get immediate medi­
cal attention . If it is swallowed , the victim must be forced
to vomit, then rinse mouth and throat with fresh water be­
fore obtaining medical attention. Because of these dangers,
always store coolant in a safe place, away from the reach
of children .

Nitrogen Pressure
For shock absorbers with a gas-filled reservoir:
•
Use only nitrogen to pressurize the shock absorber.
The use of an unstable gas can cause a fire or explo­
sion resulting in serious injury.
•
The shock absorber contains nitrogen under high pres­
sure. Allowing fire or heat near the shock absorber
could lead to an explosion that could result in serious
injury.
•
Failure to release the pressure from a shock absorber
before disposing of it may lead to a possible explo­
sion and serious injury if it is heated or pierced.
To prevent the possibility of an explosion, release the nitro­
gen by pressing the valve core . Then remove the valve stem
from the shock absorber reservoir. Dispose of the oil in a
manner acceptable to the Environmental Protection Agen­
cy (EPA) .
Before disposal of the shock absorber, release the nitrogen
by pressing the valve core. Then remove the valve stem from
the shock absorber.
Battery Hydrogen Gas & Electrolyte
•
The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks,
flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate venti­
lation when charging.
•
The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Con­
tact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns. Wear
protective clothing and a face shield.
- If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
- If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water
for at least 15 minutes and call a physician im­
mediately.
•
Electrolyte is poisonous.
- If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk
and follow with milk of magnesia or vegetable oil
and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
