Information, Description and Operation).
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.
Chemical Materials - Do's
– Do carefully read and observe hazard and precaution warnings given on material
containers (labels) and in any accompanying
leaflets, posters or other instructions. Material
health and safety data sheets can be obtained
from manufacturers.
– Do remove chemical materials from the skin and clothing as soon as practicable after soiling.
Change heavily soiled clothing and have it
cleaned.
– Do organize work practices and protective clothing to avoid soiling of the skin and eyes;
breathing vapors, aerosols, dusts or fumes;
inadequate container labeling; fire and explosion
hazards.
– Do wash before job breaks, before eating, smoking, drinking or using toilet facilities when
handling chemical materials.
– Do keep work areas clean, uncluttered and free of spills.
– Do store chemical materials according to national and local regulations.
– Do keep chemical materials out of the reach of children.
Chemical Materials - Do Nots
– Do not mix chemical materials except under themanufacturers instructions; some chemicals can
form other toxic or harmful chemicals, give off
toxic or harmful fumes or become explosive
when mixed together.
– Do not spray chemical materials, particularly those based on solvents, in confined spaces,
for example when people are inside a vehicle.
– Do not apply heat or flame to chemical materials except under the manufacturers instructions.
Some are highly flammable and some may
release toxic or harmful fumes.
– Do not leave containers open. Fumes given off can build up to toxic, harmful or explosive
concentrations. Some fumes are heavier than
air and will accumulate in confined areas such
as pits.
– Do not transfer chemical materials to unlabelled containers.
– Do not clean hands or clothing with chemicals. Chemicals, particularly solvents and fuels, will
dry the skin and may cause irritation leading to

dermatitis or be absorbed through the skin in
toxic or harmful quantities.
– Do not use emptied containers for other materials except when they have been cleaned
under supervised conditions.
– Do not sniff or smell chemical materials. Brief exposure to high concentrations of fumes can
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.
Clutch Fluids
See Brake fluids.
Clutch Linings and Pads
SeeAsbestos.
Corrosion Protection Materials
See also Solvents, Fire.
Highly flammable, flammable – observe No
Smoking policy.
These materials are varied and the manufacturers
instructions must be followed. They may contain
solvents, resins or petroleum products. Skin and
eye contact should be avoided. They should only
be sprayed in conditions of adequate ventilation
and not in confined spaces.
Cutting
See Welding.
Dewaxing
SeeSolvents andFuels (Kerosene).
Dusts
Powder, dusts or clouds may be irritant, harmful
or toxic. Avoid breathing dusts from powdery
chemical materials or those arising from dry
abrasion operations. Wear respiratory protection
if ventilation is inadequate.
Fine dusts of combustible material can present an
explosion hazard. Avoid explosive limits and
sources of ignition.
Electric Shock
Electric shock can result from the use of faulty
electrical equipment or from the misuse of
equipment in good condition.
Make sure that electrical equipment is maintained
in good condition and frequently tested. Faulty
equipment should be labeled and preferably
removed from the workstation.
Make sure that flexes, cables, plugs and sockets
are not frayed, kinked, cut, cracked or otherwise
damaged.
Make sure that electrical equipment and flexes do
not come into contact with water.
Make sure that electrical equipment is protected
by the correct rated fuse.
Never misuse electrical equipment and never use
equipment that is in any way faulty. The results
could be fatal.
Make sure that the cables of mobile electrical
equipment cannot get trapped and damaged, such
as in a vehicle hoist.
Make sure that the designated electrical workers
are trained in basic First Aid.
In cases of electrocution:
– switch off the power supply before approaching
the victim.
– if this is not possible push or drag the victim from the source of electricity using dry
non-conductive material.
– commence resuscitation if trained to do so.

Make sure there is adequate ventilation to control
dusts, mists and fumes.
High Pressure Air, Lubrication and Oil
Test Equipment
See alsoLubricants and Greases.
Always keep high-pressure equipment in good
condition, and regularly maintained, particularly at
joints and unions.
Never direct a high-pressure nozzle, for example
diesel injector, at the skin as the fluid may
penetrate to the underlying tissue, and cause
serious injury.
Halon
See CFCs.
Legal Aspects
There are many laws and regulations relating to
health and safety in the use and disposal of
materials and equipment in a workshop.
For a safe working environment and to avoid
environmental pollution, workshops should be
familiar, in detail, with the many health and safety
laws and regulations within their country, published
by both national and local authorities.
Lubricants and Greases
Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with
mineral oils. All lubricants and greases may be
irritating to the eyes and skin.
Transmission Fluids
Safety instructions
Certain Transmission and Power Steering fluids
supplied to Ford may contain additives which have
the potential to cause skin disease (dermatitis) to
exposed persons. The dermatitis may be irritant
or allergic in nature. Risks are higher where
prolonged or repeated skin contact with a fluid may
occur. These fluids are used for vehicle initial fill
and service purposes. This sub-section is to: • Inform Service personnel who may come into
contact with these vehicle fluids (hazard
communication).
• Summarise appropriate workplace control measures and personal protective equipment
requirements.
• Draw attention to the existence of Material Safety Datasheets (MSDS's) for the fluids
(available from Ford Customer Service Division).
These MSDS's contain detailed information on
hazards and appropriate controls.
Control measures
Workplace risk assessments made under national
chemical control regulations should identify
operations involving the fluids as potentially
hazardous and specify workplace control and
worker awareness measures. In such
circumstances, the relevant Material Safety
Datasheet (see the details specified below) which
specifies hazards and control measures in detail
should be made available for guidance.
Avoid unprotected skin contact with the fluids, and
in particular, avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact. Work practices should be organised so as
to minimise the potential for skin contact. This may
include the use of drip trays, absorbents, correct
fluid handling equipment (funnels etc), and
workplace housekeeping measures such as the
cleaning of contaminated surfaces.
Personnel engaged in operations where skin
contact could occur (such as fluid draining or filling)
should wear impervious gloves made from nitrile
rubber, certified to a chemical protection standard,
e.g. Europe Standard EN374. This glove type is
widely available from reputable suppliers of gloves
for chemical protection [including the manufacturers
Ansell-Admont (Solvex Range), North Safety
products (North Nitrile Latex Gloves range), and
Marigold Industrial (Blue Nitrile range)]. If gloves
become torn or contaminated on the inside they
should be replaced. Eye protection with safety
glasses is appropriate. Use of an impervious apron
and arm protectors may be necessary if more
extensive exposure is possible. Use of skin barrier
creams suitable for work with mineral oil products
may offer some supplementary protection, but such
barrier creams should not be used in place of
protective clothing.
If accidental skin contact occurs with the fluids,
wash the area thoroughly with soap or skin
cleanser and water.

WARNING: Make sure that the ends of the
jumper cables do not touch each other or
ground against the vehicle body at any
time while the cables are attached to the
battery. A fully charged battery, if shorted
through jumper cables, can discharge at
a rate well above 1000 amps causing
violent arcing and very rapid heating of the
jumper cables and terminals, and can even
cause the battery to explode. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in
personal injury.
Always connect the jumper cables in the following
sequence:
– Slave battery positive first and then vehicle battery positive.
– Slave battery negative next and then vehicle ground at least 12 inches (300 mm) from the
battery terminal, for example engine lifting eye.
Always reduce the engine speed to idle before
disconnecting the jumper cables.
Before removing the jumper cables from the vehicle
that had the discharged battery, switch on the
heater blower (high) or the heated rear window, to
reduce the voltage peak when the cables are
removed.
Always disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse
order to the connecting sequence and do not short
the ends of the cables.
Do not rely on the generator to restore a
discharged battery. For a generator to recharge a
battery, it would take in excess of eight hours
continuous driving with no additional loads placed
on the battery.
Component Cleaning
To prevent the ingress of dirt, accumulations of
loose dirt and greasy deposits should be removed before disconnecting or dismantling components
or assemblies.
Components should be thoroughly cleaned before
inspection prior to reassembly.
Cleaning Methods:
– Dry cleaning.
– Removal of loose dirt with soft or cable brushes.
– Scraping dirt off with a piece of metal or wood.
– Wiping off with a rag.
WARNING: Wear eye protection when
cleaning vehicle components with
compressed air, a steam cleaner or a
power washer. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
Compressed air is sometimes 'wet' so use
with caution, especially on hydraulic
systems.
To prevent damage to the electrical
connectors in the engine compartment, do
not use a steam cleaner or a power washer
to clean the engine compartment.
– Blowing dirt off with compressed air.
– Removal of dry dust using vacuum equipment. This method must always be used to remove
friction lining material dust (asbestos particles).
– Steam cleaning.
WARNING: Most solvents require careful
handling and some are harmful. Refer to
Health and Safety Precautions and to the
manufacturers literature for the relevant
safety precautions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
Various solvents are available which are suitable
for component cleaning. Some components, such
as brake hydraulic parts and electrical assemblies
should be cleaned only with recommended solvents
— refer to Solvents, Sealers and Adhesives or to
the section of the manual relevant to the
component.
Calibration of Essential Measuring
Equipment
WARNING: Equipment, which requires
regular calibration, must be calibrated in
accordance with the manufacturers
