Fluoroelastomers

Fluoroelastomer material is used in the manufacture of
various seals in Triumph motorcycles.
In fire conditions involving temperatures greater than
315°C this material will decompose and can then be
potentially
hazardous.
Highly
decomposition products, including hydrogen fluoride,
carbonyl
fluoride,
fluorinated
monoxide can be generated and will be present in
fumes from fires.
In the presence of any water or humidity hydrogen
fluoride may dissolve to form extremely corrosive liquid
hydrofluoric acid.
If such conditions exist, do not touch the material and
avoid all skin contact.
Skin contact with liquid or
decomposition
residues
penetrating burns leading to permanent, irreversible
skin and tissue damage.

Oils

The engine and bevel box oils may be hot to the touch.
Contact with hot oil may cause the skin to be scalded or
burned.
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can lead
to skin dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition used
