Pressurized Equipment
See HighPressure Air, Lubrication and Oil Test
Equipment.
Solder
Solders are mixtures of metals such that the
melting point of the mixture is below that of the
constituent metals (normally lead and tin). Solder
application does not normally give rise to toxic lead
fumes, provided a gas/air flame is used.
Oxy-acetylene flames should not be used, as they
are much hotter and will cause lead fumes to be
produced.
Some fumes may be produced by the application
of any flame to surfaces coated with grease, and
inhalation of these should be avoided.
Removal of excess solder should be undertaken
with care, to make sure that fine lead dust is not
produced, which can give toxic effects if inhaled.
Respiratory protection may be necessary.
Solder spillage and filings should be collected and
removed promptly to prevent general air
contamination by lead.
High standards of personal hygiene are necessary
in order to avoid ingestion of lead or inhalation of
solder dust from clothing.
Solvents
See also Chemical Materials, Fuels (Kerosene),
Fire.
For example acetone, white spirit, toluene, xylene,
trichloroethane.
Used in cleaning and dewaxing materials, paints,
plastics, resins and thinners.
Some may be highly flammable or flammable.
Skin contact will degrease the skin and may result
in irritation and dermatitis following repeated or
prolonged contact. Some can be absorbed through
the skin in toxic or harmful quantities.
Splashes in the eye may cause severe irritation
and could lead to loss of vision.
Brief exposure of high concentrations of vapors or
mists will cause eye and throat irritation,
drowsiness, dizziness, headaches and, in the worst
circumstances, unconsciousness.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to excessive but
lower concentrations of vapors or mists, for which there might not be adequate warning indications,
can cause more serious toxic or harmful effects.
Aspiration into the lungs, for example through
vomiting, is the most serious consequence of
swallowing.
Avoid splashes to the skin, eyes and clothing. Wear
protective gloves, goggles and clothing if
necessary.
Make sure there is good ventilation when in use,
avoid breathing fumes, vapors and spray mists and
keep containers tightly sealed. Do not use in
confined spaces.
When spraying materials containing solvents, for
example paints, adhesive, coatings, use extraction
ventilation or personal respiratory protection in the
absence of adequate general ventilation.
Do not apply heat or flame except under specific
and detailed manufacturers instructions.
Sound Insulation
See
Fibre Insulation, Foams.
Suspended Loads
CAUTION: Never improvise lifting tackle.
There is always a danger when loads are lifted or
suspended. Never work under an unsupported,
suspended or raised load, for example a
suspended engine.
Always make sure that lifting equipment such as
jacks, hoists, axle stands and slings are adequate
and suitable for the job, in good condition and
regularly maintained.
Transmission Brake Bands
See Asbestos.
Underseal
SeeCorrosion Protection.
Viton
In common with many other manufacturers
vehicles, some components have O-rings, seals
or gaskets, which contain a material known as
`Viton'.

Road/Roller Testing
Road or roller testing may be carried out for various
reasons and a procedure detailing pre-test checks,
engine starting and stopping, pre-driving checks,
on-test checks and final checks to be completed
on completion of the test is given below.
Unless complete vehicle performance is being
checked, the full road test procedure need not be
carried out. Instead, those items particularly
relevant to the system(s) being checked can be
extracted.
Pre-Test Checks
WARNING: If the brake system hydraulic
fluid level is low, pedal travel is excessive
or a hydraulic leak is found, do not attempt
to road test the vehicle until the reason for
the low fluid level, excessive pedal travel
or hydraulic leak is found and rectified.
It is suggested that pre-test checks and functional
tests of those systems and circuits which affect the
safe and legal operations of the vehicle, such as
brakes, lights and steering, should always be
carried out before the road or roller test.
With the ignition switched off, check:
– the engine oil level.
– the engine coolant level.
– the tires, for correct pressure, compatible types and tread patterns, and wear within limits.
– that there is sufficient fuel in the tank to complete the test.
– all around the engine, transmission and under the vehicle for oil, coolant, hydraulic and fuel
leaks. Make a note of any apparent leaks and
wipe off the surrounding areas to make it easier
to identify the extent of the leak on completion
of the test.
Starting the Engine
NOTE: On initial drive away from cold and within
the first 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress the
accelerator pedal beyond half travel until the
vehicle has attained a minimum speed of 25 km/h
(15 miles/h). Never operate at high engine speed
or with the accelerator pedal at full travel whilst the
engine is cold.
With the ignition switched off, check: – that the parking brake is applied.
– that the gear lever is in the neutral position.
– that all instrument gauges (except fuel gauge)
read zero.
With the ignition switched on, check:
– that the ignition controlled warning lamps are illuminated.
– that the engine temperature gauge registers a reading compatible with the engine temperature.
– that the fuel gauge registers a reading appropriate to the fuel level in the tank.
– the operation of the parking brake warning lamp and fluid level warning indicator.
Road or Roller Testing
CAUTION: If road testing, check the brake
operation while still traveling at low speed
before continuing with the test. If the
brakes pull to one side, or appear to be
otherwise faulty, do not continue with the
road test until the fault has been found and
rectified.
During the road or roller test, check:
– that the clutch pedal operation is not stiff or heavy.
– that the initial gear engagement is smooth and there is no evidence of clutch drag.
– that the parking brake control operates smoothly and releases quickly and completely.
– that the clutch takes up the drive smoothly, without slip or judder.
– that gear changing is smooth with no abnormal noises or vibrations from the transmission.
– the engine power output is satisfactory, full power is achieved, acceleration is smooth and
pedal operation is not stiff or heavy, and engine
speed returns to idle correctly.
– there is no excessive or abnormally colored smoke from the engine under normal driving,
heavy load or overrun conditions.
– that steering operation, including power steering (if equipped), is smooth, accurate, not
excessively heavy or with excessive free play
or vibration.
– that the steering does not pull to one side and self centers smoothly after cornering.

– that the speedometer, coolant temperaturegauge and tachometer (if equipped) register the
correct readings and operate correctly.
– that the switches and controls operate smoothly and positively, warning and indicator lamps
operate correctly and the direction indicator
control self cancels when the steering is
returned to the straight ahead position.
– that the heating and ventilation systems operate correctly and effectively.
– the brake operation and efficiency.
Brake Testing
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 (100-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
CAUTIONS:
Avoid brake testing on busy roads where
it may cause inconvenience or danger to
other road users.
Brake testing which includes heavy brake
applications should not be carried out with
new brake pads/discs or linings/drums
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: – oil, coolant, hydraulic, air and fuel leaks.
– abnormal temperature of any moving
components or assemblies, for example wheel
hubs, transmission and axle, which might
indicate over tightness or lack of lubrication.

Air Conditioning (A/C) System Health and Safety Precautions
WARNINGS:
Only qualified technicians are allowed to
work on air conditioning (A/C) systems.
Air conditioning (A/C) system components
can become particularly hot or cold.
Make sure that the air conditioning (A/C)
system is at ambient temperature before
carrying out any repair.
When handling refrigerants, always wear
protective goggles and gloves made of
fluoroelastomer. Leather or fabric gloves
are not suitable.
SKIN CONTACT: If liquid refrigerant comes
into contact with the skin, it produces
severe frostbite. Immediately flush affected
areas with plenty of cold running water for
15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
EYE CONTACT: If refrigerant comes into
contact with the eyes, immediately flush
the eyes with plenty of running water for
15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
INHALED: Toxic gases generated when
refrigerant is heated are hazardous to
health. The gases have an irritating smell
and can cause lung damage. The
symptoms can continue for a long time
after having been in contact with the gases.
The gases can cause lung damage even if
the amount of gas in the air is too small to
smell.
Refrigerant is flammable and explosive.
Make sure that refrigerant bottles are not
exposed to temperatures greater than 45°C.
Make sure that the local regulations
regarding work on air conditioning (A/C)
systems are adhered to.
Make sure that refrigerant bottles are
closed properly.
Gaseous refrigerant has a higher density
than air. There is a danger of suffocation
when working close to the ground or in
workshop pits.
Provide adequate ventilation when
handling refrigerant.
Never release refrigerant into the
atmosphere.
Only use special tools, equipment and
lubricants that are approved for the type
of refrigerant being used.
Always follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for the correct servicing unit
operating procedure.
CAUTIONS:
Do not mix refrigerant oils for different
types of refrigerant.
Never mix different types of refrigerant or
equipment intended for them.
Only use refrigerant in gas form when
filling the system through the low-pressure
connection.
Only use refrigerant in liquid form when
filling the system through the
high-pressure connection.
Refrigerant attacks certain plastics. Only
use seals suitable for refrigerant.
If the air conditioning (A/C) compressor is
damaged, the fixed orifice tube can
become blocked with metal particles.
Any sort of blockage in the refrigerant
circuit will damage the air conditioning
(A/C) compressor irreparably.
If the air conditioning (A/C) system has
been opened for a period greater than 2
hours, a new receiver drier must be
installed and the evacuating time to be
increased by a minimum of 2 hours.
NOTE: New air conditioning (A/C) compressors
are delivered prefilled.
NOTE: Refrigerant oil in new air conditioning (A/C)
compressors can contain Teflon, visible as white
particles, which will not harm the system.
