Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil
will result in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
In addition, used engine oil contains potentiallyharmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities must be provided.
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example
by using enclosed systems for handling used engine
oil and by degreasing components, where
practicable, before handling them.
Other precautions:

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.

Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.

Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underpants, with oil.

Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of
overalls without pockets will avoid this.

Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separate from
personal clothing.
Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye
protection should be worn, for example,
chemical goggles or face shields; in addition
an eye wash facility should be provided.

Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.

Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure
all oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After
cleaning, the application of preparations
containing lanolin to replace the natural skin
oils is advised.

Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas
oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from
the skin after work.

If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.

ENGINE COOLING ±
General Information/
Service Specifications/Lubricant/Sealants14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION14100010125
The cooling system is designed to keep every part
of the engine at appropriate temperature in
whatever condition the engine may be operated.
The cooling method is of the water-cooled, pressure
forced circulation type in which the water pump
pressurizes coolant and circulates it throughout the
engine. If the coolant temperature exceeds the
prescribed temperature, the thermostat opens to
circulate the coolant through the radiator as well
so that the heat absorbed by the coolant may be
radiated into the air.The water pump is of the centrifugal type and is
driven by the drive belt from the crankshaft.
The radiator is the corrugated fin, down flow type.

± General Information HEATER, AIR CONDITIONER
AND VENTILATION55-3
GENERAL INFORMATION55200010121
The heater system uses a two-way-flow full-air-mix
system that features high performance and low
operating noise, and includes an independent face
air blowing function and a cool air bypass function.The A/C system is basically the same as the
conventional system, but a new refrigerant system
has been adopted as a response to restrictions
on the use of chlorofluorocarbons.

Refrigerant and quantity gR-134a (HFC-134a), Approx. 550 ± 600
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Because R-134a refrigerant is a hydrofluorocarbon
(HFC) which contains hydrogen atoms in place of
chlorine atoms, it will not cause damage to the
ozone layer.
Refrigerant R-134a is transparent and colourless
in both the liquid and vapour state. Since it has
a boiling point of ± 29.8
C, at atmospheric pressure,
it will be a vapour at all normal temperatures and
pressures. The vapour is heavier than air,
non-flammable, and nonexplosive. The following
precautions must be observed when handling
R-134a.Caution
Wear safety goggles when servicing the
refrigeration system.
R-134a evaporates so rapidly at normal
atmospheric pressures and temperatures that it
tends to freeze anything it contacts. For this reason,
extreme care must be taken to prevent any liquid
refrigerant from contacting the skin and especially
the eyes. Always wear safety goggles when
servicing the refrigeration part of the A/C system.
Keep a bottle of sterile mineral oil handy when
working on the refrigeration system. Should any
liquid refrigerant get into the eyes, use a few drops
of mineral oil to wash them out. R-134a is rapidly
absorbed by the oil. Next splash the eyes with
plenty of cold water. Call your doctor immediately
even though irritation has ceased after treatment.
