DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
drowsiness. In extreme cases, loss of
consciousness may result. Long term exposure to
vapor concentrations may result in adverse health
effects.
Prolonged contact with the skin may have a
defatting effect which may lead to skin irritation
and in some cases, dermatitis.
Splashes entering the eye will cause discomfort
and possible damage.
Any spraying should preferably be carried out in
exhaust ventilated booths, removing vapors and
spray droplets from the breathing zone.
Wear appropriate gloves, eye and respiratory
protection. Asbestos dust
waste should be dampened, placed
in a sealed container and marked for safe disposal.
If any cutting or drilling is attempted on materials
(
containing asbestos the item should be dampened "
and only hand tools or low speed power tools used.
Battery Acids
See also Acids and Alkalis.
Gases released during charging are explosive.
Never use naked flames or allow sparks near
charging or recently charged batteries.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation.
Brake and Clutch Linings and Pads
Antifreeze
See Asbestos.
See also Fire, Solvents.
For example isopropanol, ethylene glycol,
methanol.
Highly flammable, flammable, combustible.
Used in vehicle coolant systems, brake air pressure
systems, screenwash solutions.
Vapors may be given off from coolant antifreeze
(glycol) when heated. Avoid breathing these
vapors.
Antifreeze may be absorbed through the skin in
toxic or harmful quantities. Antifreeze, if swallowed,
can be fatal and MEDICAL ATTENTION SHOULD
BE SOUGHT IMMEDIATELY.
These products must not be used in any cooling
or industrial water system that is connected or
linked to general, food preparation or drinking water
supplies.
Asbestos
See also Warning Symbols on Vehicles at the end
of this subsection.
Breathing asbestos dust may cause lung damage
or, in some cases, cancer.
Used in brake and clutch linings, transmission
brake bands and gaskets.
The use of drum cleaning units, vacuum cleaning
or damp wiping is preferred.
Brake Fluids (Polyal kylene Glycols)
See also Fire.
Splashes to the skin and eyes are slightly irritating.
Avoid skin and
eye'contact as far as possible.
Inhalation vapor hazards do not arise at ambient
temperatures because of the very low vapor
pressure.
Brazing
See Welding.
Chemical Materials
See also Legal Aspects.
Chemical materials such as solvents, sealers,
adhesives, paints, resin foams, battery acids,
antifreeze, brake fluids, fuels, oils and grease
should always be used with caution and stored and
handled with care. They may be toxic, harmful,
corrosive, irritant or highly flammable and give rise
to hazardous fumes and dusts.
The effects of excessive exposure to chemicals may be immediate or delayed; briefly experienced
or permanent; cumulative; superficial; life
threatening; or may reduce life expectancy.

Brake Testing
A WARNING:When brake testing, avoid
breathing the fumes from hot brakes, this
may contain asbestos dust which is
hazardous to health. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
For additional information, refer to: Health
and Safety Precautions
(1 00-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
CAUTIONS:
A Avoid brake testing on busy roads where
it may cause inconvenience or danger to
other road users.
A Brake testing which includes heavy brake
applications should not be carried out with
new brake
padsldiscs or liningsldrums
until the components have bedded-in. New
brake friction components will not reach
full efficiency until the bedding-in process
is complete.
Test the brakes at several speeds within the normal
operating range using both light and heavy pedal
pressure. Note any tendency to snatch, pull or
drag, and any undue delay in application or
release.
Allow the vehicle to coast and note any tendency
to pull to one side, or evidence that the brakes are
binding.
After stopping the vehicle (not immediately after a
period of heavy braking), carefully check the brake
temperature.
A brake disc or brake drum that feels
hot or is appreciably hotter than the others,
indicates that the brake is binding.
After completion of the test, check for:
