+To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure of hose inser-
tion length and clamp orientation. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)
SMA021D
Hose ClampingNJGI0001S0602+If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original
position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there
is a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align
rubber hose at that position.
+Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
SMA022D
+After installing leaf spring clamps, apply force to them in the
direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all
around.
PRECAUTIONS FOR ENGINE OILSNJGI0001S07Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause
skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
Health Protection PrecautionsNJGI0001S0701+Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.
+Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where
practicable.
+Do not put oily rags in pockets.
+Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underclothing, with
oil.
+Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should
not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
+First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
+Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin.
+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.
