be toxic or harmful.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)
There is concern in the scientific community that
CFCs and Halons are depleting the upper ozone
layer which filters out harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Decreased filtration of ultraviolet radiation may
result in increases in skin cancer, cataracts and
immune system suppression in humans, as well
as decreased productivity of crops and aquatic
systems.
CFCs are used primarily as refrigerants in vehicle
air conditioning systems and as aerosol
propellants. Halons are used as fire extinguishants.

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'.

FORD KUGA 2011.0MY WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL

Viton is a fluoroelastomer, that is a synthetic rubber
type material, which contains Fluorine. It is
commonly used for O-rings, gaskets and seals of
all types. Although Viton is the most well known
fluoroelastomer, there are others, including Fluorel
and Tecmoflon.
When used under design conditions
fluoroelastomers are perfectly safe. If, however,
they are exposed to temperatures in excess of
400°C, the material will not burn, but will
decompose, and one of the products formed is
hydrofluoric acid.
This acid is extremely corrosive and may be
absorbed directly, through contact, into the general
body system.
O-rings, seals or gaskets which have been exposed
to very high temperatures will appear charred or
as a black sticky substance.
DO NOT; under any circumstances touch them or
the attached components.
Enquiries should be made to determine whether
Viton or any other fluoroelastomer has been used
in the affected O-ring, seal or gasket. If they are of
natural rubber or nitrile there is no hazard. If in
doubt, be cautious, as the material may be Viton
or any fluoroelastomer.
If Viton or any other fluoroelastomers have been
used, the affected area should be decontaminated
before the commencement of work.
Disposable heavy duty plastic gloves should be
worn at all times, and the affected area washed
down using wire wool and a limewater (calcium
hydroxide) solution to neutralize the acid before
disposing of the decomposed Viton residue and
final cleaning of the area. After use, the plastic
gloves should be discarded carefully and safely.
Welding
See alsoFire, Electric Shock, Gas Cylinders.
Welding processes include Resistance Welding
(Spot Welding), Arc Welding and Gas Welding.
Resistance Welding
This process may cause particles of molten metal
to be emitted at a high velocity, and the eyes and
skin must be protected.
Arc Welding
This process emits a high level of ultra-violet
radiation, which may cause arc-eye, and skin burns
to the operator and to other persons nearby.
Gas-shielded welding processes are particularly
hazardous in this respect. Personal protection must
be worn, and screens used to shield other people.
CONTACT LENS WEARERS ARE ADVISED TO
REVERT TO ORDINARY SPECTACLES WHEN
ARC WELDING as the arc spectrum is believed to
emit microwaves which dry out the fluid between
the lens and the eye. This may result in blindness
when the lens is removed from the eye.
Metal spatter will also occur, and appropriate eye
and skin protection is necessary.
The heat of the welding arc will produce fumes and
gases from the metals being welded, the rods and
from any applied coatings or contamination on the
surfaces being worked on. These gases and fumes
may be toxic and inhalation of these should be
avoided. The use of extraction ventilation to remove
the fumes from the working area may be necessary
particularly in cases where the general ventilation
is poor, or where considerable welding work is
anticipated. In extreme cases or confined spaces
where adequate ventilation cannot be provided,
air-fed respirators may be necessary.
Gas Welding (and Cutting)
Oxy-acetylene torches may be used for welding
and cutting, and special care must be taken to
prevent leakage of these gases, with consequent
risk of fire and explosion.
The process will produce metal spatter and eye
and skin protection is necessary.
The flame is bright, and eye protection should be
used, but the ultra-violet emission is much less
than that from arc welding, and lighter filters may
be used.
The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but
such fumes and gases may be produced from
coatings on the work, particularly during cutting
away of damaged body parts, and inhalation of the
fumes should be avoided.
In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the
metals in the brazing rod, and a severe hazard
may arise if brazing rods containing cadmium are
used. In this event particular care must be taken
to avoid inhalation of fumes and expert advice may
be required.
