injury. Do not inhale ammonia vapours. Do
not allow reducing agent to come into con-
tact with clothing, skin or eyes, and do not
swallow it. Keep children away from reducing
agents.
WARNING
Operating fluids, for example oils, greases,
coolants and fuels, can contain substances
that are harmful to health. There is a danger
of injury or danger to life. Please comply with
the instructions on the containers. Do not al-
low operating fluids to come into contact with
clothing, skin or eyes. Do not pour operating
fluids into other bottles. Keep operating fluids
out of the reach of children.
NOTICE
The constituents of the reducing agent are
highly aggressive. There is a risk of mate-
rial damage. Do not allow reducing agent to
