DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Skin contact may result in frostbite.
Instructions given by the manufacturer must be
followed. Avoid naked lights, wear suitable
protective gloves and goggles.
If refrigerant comes into contact with the skin or
eyes, immediately rinse the affected areas with
water. Eyes should also be rinsed with an
appropriate irrigation solution and should not be
rubbed. SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IF
NECESSARY.
Air Conditioning Refrigerant - Do Nots
- Do not expose refrigerant bottles to sunlight or
heat.
- Do not stand refrigerant bottles upright; when
filling, hold them with the valve downwards.
- Do not expose refrigerant bottles to frost.
- Do not drop refrigerant bottles.
- Do not vent refrigerant to atmosphere under any
circumstance.
- Do not mix refrigerants, for example R12 (Freon)
and
R134a.

Cleanliness and tidiness in use should be
observed, for example disposable paper covering

Hot Melt Adhesives
In the solid state, they are safe. In the molten state
they may cause burns and health hazards may
arise from the inhalation of toxic fumes.
Use appropriate protective clothing and a
thermostatically controlled heater with a thermal

Mixing should be carried out in well ventilated
areas, as harmful or toxic volatile chemicals may
be released.
Skin contact with uncured resins and hardeners
can result in irritation, dermatitis, and absorption
of toxic or harmful chemicals through the skin.
Splashes can damage the eyes.
Provide adequate ventilation and avoid skin and
eye contact.
Anaerobic, Cyanoacrylate (super-glues)
and other Acrylic Adhesives
Many are irritant, sensitizing or harmful to the skin
and respiratory tract. Some are eye irritants.
Skin and eye contact should be avoided and the
manufacturers instructions followed.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives (super-glues) MUST NOT
contact the skin or eyes. If skin or eye tissue is
bonded, cover with a clean moist pad and SEEK
IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Do not
attempt to pull tissue apart. Use in well ventilated
areas as vapors can cause irritation to the nose
and eyes.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Standard Workshop Practices
Vehicle in Workshop
When working on a vehicle in the workshop always
make sure that:
- the parking brake is applied or the wheels are
securely chocked to prevent the vehicle moving
forwards or backwards.
- the key is removed from key operated hood
locks before any work is carried out around the
front of the vehicle.
- if the engine is to be run, there is adequate
ventilation, or an extraction hose to remove
exhaust fumes.
- there is adequate room to raise the vehicle and
remove the wheels, if necessary.
- fender covers are always fitted if any work is to
be carried out in the engine compartment.
- the battery is disconnected if working on the
engine, underneath the vehicle, or if the vehicle
is raised.
Alternative Fuel - Dons
- Do work on the vehicle in a designated area,
that is well ventilated and with access restricted
to qualified personnel only.
- Install new warning labels to their original
locations.
- If possible always isolate the alternative fuel
tank, and run the vehicle on the alternative fuel
until it automatically switches to its normal fuel
prior to taking the vehicle into the workshop
service area.
- Only use tested and approved components and
pipes when repairing or servicing
LPG and CNG
systems.
Alternative Fuel - Do Nots
- Do not vent off LPG fuel.
- Do not use shop air pressure to force LPG fuel
from the fuel tank.
( A CAUTION:When electric arc welding on a - Do not use paint drying ovens above 40°C for vehicle, always disconnect the generator any alternative fuel vehicle. LPG and CNG fuel wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge tanks must be removed from the vehicle prior of current causing damage to the internal to being put into paint drying ovens above 40°C. components of the generator. - Do not modify the system or install new - if using welding equipment on the vehicle, a

vehicles.
Alternative Fuel
A WARNING:When servicing the fuel system
always follow the recommended
procedures. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
If the odor of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or
compressed natural gas
(CNG) is present in the
air in the workshop, warn all persons in the area
to:
- extinguish all flames and lighted tobacco.
- shut off electrical and air powered equipment.
- evacuate the area.
- ventilate the area.
- contact the fire control authorities.
- remove the vehicle to a dedicated, ventilated
area.
- Do not evacuate fuel tanks unless there is repair
that requires the removal of the fuel tank.
- Do not work on the fuel lines or system
components unless the alternative fuel has been
evacuated and the pressure in the system
reduced to atmospheric or less.
- Do not use anything other than the specified
leak detector fluid to trace fuel leaks.
Be aware of situations that may cause the
LPG or I
CNG fuel system to vent off fuel, such as: I
- extremely hot days.
- parking by a space heater.
- hoisting a vehicle up near a ceiling heater.
Only fully trained personnel, who are conversant
with local standards, are to work on alternative fuel
vehicles.
