WARNING: Wearers of surgically
i mplanted heart pacemaker devices
A
should not be in close proximity to ignition circuits
and or diagnostic equipment.
The ignition system and any diagnostic equipment
may interrupt the normal operation of such
devices causing illness or death.
DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES
WARNING: Many liquids and other
substances used in motor vehicles are
poisonous and should under no circumstances be
consumed and should, as far as possible, be kept
from contact with the skin. These substances
among others include acid, anti-freeze, asbestos,
brake fluid, fuel, lubricants, and various
adhesives. Always pay close attention to the
instructions printed on labels and obey the
instructions contained within. These instructions
are included for your safety and well being.
NEVER DISREGARD THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Fluoroelastomers
WARNING: Flouroelastomer 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 toxic and
corrosive decomposition products, including
hydrogen flouride, carbonyl flouride, fluorinated
olefins and carbon monoxide can be generated
and will be present in fumes from fires.
In the presence of any water or humidity hydrogen
flouride 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 can cause painful and
penetrating burns leading to permanent,
irreversible skin and tissue damage.

GENERAL INFORMATION l
ENGINE OILS
WARNING: The oil may be hot to the
touch. Contact with hot oil may cause the
skin to be scalded or burned.
WARNING:
contact with engine oil can lead to skin
dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition used
engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which can cause cancer. Wear
suitable clothing and avoid skin contact.
Health Protection Precautions
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
•
Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
•
Do not put oily rags in pockets.
• Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard
heavily soiled clothing and oil impregnated
footwear.
•
First aid treatment should be obtained
immediately for open cuts and wounds. Always
be aware of who your nearest first aider is and
where the medical facilities are kept.
• Use barrier creams, applying before each work
period to protect the skin from the effects of oil
and grease and, to aid removal of the same after
completing work.
• Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will
help). Preparations containing lanolin replace the
natural skin oils which have been removed.
•
Do not use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
•
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.
• Where practicable, de-grease components prior
to handling.
