INFORMATION SYNTHETIC RUBBER
Many’0’ring seals, flexible pipes and other similar
items which appear to be natural rubber are made of
synthetic materials called Fluoroelastomers. Under
normal operating conditions this material is safe, and
does not present a health hazard. However, if the
material is damaged by fire or excessive heat, it can
break down and produce highly corrosive Hydrofluoric
acid which can cause serious burns on contact with
skin. Should the material be in a burnt or overheated
condition handle only with seamless industrial gloves.
Decontaminate and dispose of the gloves immediately
after use.
If skin contact does occur, remove any contaminated
clothing immediately and obtain medical assistance
without delay. In the meantime, wash the affected
area with copious amounts of cold water or limewater
for fifteen to sixty minutes.
RECOMMENDED SEALANTS
A number of branded products are recommended in
this manual for use during maintenance and repair
work.
These items include:
HYLOMAR GASKET AND JOINTING COMPOUND
and
HYLOSIL RTV SILICONE COMPOUND.
They should be available locally from garage
equipment suppliers. If there is any problem obtaining
supplies, contact the following company for advice
and the address of the nearest supplier.
MARSTON LUBRICANTS LTD.
Hylo House,
Cale Lane,
New Springs,
Wigan WN2 1JR
Tel 01942 824242USED ENGINE OIL
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated
contact with engine or motor oil will result
in the removal of natural fats from the
skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
Used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing
facilities should be provided.
Handling precautions
1.Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
2.Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where applicable.
3.Do not put oily rags in pockets.
4.Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly
underwear, with oil.
5.Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard
unwashable clothing and oil impregnated
footwear.
6.First aid treatment must be obtained immediately
for open cuts and wounds.
7.Use barrier creams, before each work period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin.
8.Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will
help). Preparations containing lanolin replace the
natural skin oils which have been removed.
9.Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel,
petrol, thinners or solvents for washing the skin.
10.If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice.
11.Where practicable, degrease components prior
to handling.
12.Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye
protection should be worn, for example, goggles
or face shields; in addition an eye wash facility
should be provided.
Disposing of used oils
Environmental protection precaution
It is illegal to pour used oil onto the ground, down
sewers or drains, or into waterways.
Dispose of used oil through authorised waste disposal
contractors. If in doubt contact your Local Authority for
advice on disposal facilities.

INFORMATION JUMP STARTING
WARNING: Hydrogen and oxygen gases
are produced during normal battery
operation. This gas mixture can explode if
flames, sparks or lighted tobacco are brought
near battery. When charging or using a battery in
an enclosed space, always provide ventilation and
shield your eyes.
Keep out of reach of children. Batteries contain
sulphuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Also, shield eyes when working near
battery to protect against possible splashing of
acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin,
eyes, or clothing, flush immediately with water for
a minimum of fifteen minutes. If acid is swallowed,
drink large quantities of milk or water, followed by
milk of magnesia, a beaten egg, or vegetable oil.
SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
To Jump Start - Negative Ground Battery
WARNING: To avoid any possibility of
injury use particular care when connecting
a booster battery to a discharged battery.
1.Position vehicles so that jump leads will reach,
ensuring that vehiclesDO NOT TOUCH,
alternatively a fully charged slave battery may be
positioned on floor adjacent to vehicle.
2.Ensuring that ignition and all electrical
accessories are switched off, that parking brake
is applied and neutral is selected, connect the
jump leads as follows;
A.Connect one end of first jumper cable to positive
(+) terminal of booster battery.
B.Connect other end of first jumper cable to positive
(+) terminal of discharged battery.
C.Connect one end of second jumper cable to
negative terminal of booster battery.
D.Connect other end of second jumper cable to a
good earth point on the disabled vehicle (eg. engine
front lifting eye, as shown in J6086),NOT TO
NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF DISCHARGED
BATTERY.Keep jumper lead away from moving
parts, pulleys, drive belts and fan blade assembly.
WARNING: Making final cable connection
could cause an electrical arc which if
made near battery could cause an
explosion.
3.If booster battery is installed in another vehicle,
start engine and allow to idle.
4.Start engine of vehicle with discharged battery,
following starting procedure in Owners’Manual.
CAUTION: If vehicle fails to start within a
maximum time of 12 seconds, switch
ignition off and investigate cause. Failing
to follow this instruction could result in
irrepairable damage to catalyst, if fitted.
5.Remove negative (-) jumper cable from the
engine and then terminal of booster battery.
6.Remove positive (+) jumper cable from positive
terminals of booster battery and discharged
battery.
