2.6 Safety precautions when handling anti-freeze
Physical injury caused by burns or poisoning is possible
Antifreeze is harmful to health. Inhalation or swallowing can lead to burns or poisoning.
Observe the following health and safety precautions when handling antifreeze:
• Do not inhale vapors.
• Keep the antifreeze away from food and beverages.
• Wear protective gloves and safety goggles.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
NOTICE
Leaking antifreeze has a corrosive effect and may cause short-circuits.
When a connection is disconnected in the cooling circuit, antifreeze can escape and drip
down onto lower areas. These areas can corrode and therefore cause short-circuits.
Whenever you disconnect a connection in the cooling circuit, cover lower areas. Thoroughly
remove antifreeze from areas that it has come into contact with and clean. Completely
remove all residues.
NOTICE
Impurities in the cooling circuit can cause converter modules to fail
When carrying out any work on the cooling circuit, ensure that no impurities (e.g. dust,
sand, fluff, chips, etc.) are able to enter the cooling circuit. Make sure that all containers
and hoses, with which you handle the antifreeze are clean and are exclusively used for the
antifreeze.
