INFORMATION
•
Engines may be fitted with seals or O-rings
manufactured from "viton" or similar material.
When exposed to abnormal high temperatures in
excess of 750°F (400°C) an extremely corrosive
acid is produced which cannot be removed from
the skin. If signs of decomposition are evident, or
if in doubt, always wear disposable heavy duty
gloves.
