WARNING
To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protection when performing
vehicle maintenance or service.
WARNING
Take care when using Loctite
®
adhesive to avoid serious personal
injury. Read the manufacturer’s instructions before using this
product. Follow the instructions carefully to prevent irritation to
the eyes and skin. If Loctite
®
adhesive material gets into the eyes,
follow the manufacturer’s emergency procedures and get
checked by a physician as soon as possible.
WARNING
When applying some silicone gasket materials, a small amount of
acid vapor is present. To prevent serious personal injury, ensure
the work area is well-ventilated. Read the manufacturer’s
instructions before using a silicone gasket material, then carefully
follow the instructions. If a silicone gasket material gets into the
eyes, follow the manufacturer’s emergency procedures and get
checked by a physician as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Although Meritor does not recommend its use in transfer cases, if
a formed-in-place gasket is used for repairs, extreme caution
must be exercised to prevent compound from entering bearings,
oil galleries, and passages or tapped holes. All beads must be
kept smaller than 0.100” diameter.
