Danger of acid burning

When exhaust gas measurements are taken,
the sampling hoses which are used release
a highly caustic gas (hydrogen fluoride) that
can cause acid burning in the respiratory sys-
tem when heated to temperatures in excess of
250 °C (482 °F) or in the event of fire.
Rules of conduct:
¶
Consult a doctor immediately after inhaling!
¶
Always wear gloves made of neoprene or PVC when
removing residues left after a fire.
¶
Neutralize any residues left after a fire with a cal-
cium hydroxide solution. This produces non-toxic
calcium fluoride, which can be washed away.
Acids and alkalis can cause severe burning on
unprotected skin. Hydrogen fluoride in combi-
nation with moisture (water) forms hydroflu-
oric acid. The condensate, which accumulates
in the sampling hose and in the condensate
container likewise contains acid.
Rules of conduct:
¶
When replacing the O
2
mind that it contains alkali.
¶
When replacing the NO measuring sensor, bear in
mind that it contains acid.
¶
Rinse any affected parts of the skin immediately in
water, then consult a doctor!
¶
NO and O measuring sensors are hazardous waste
2
and must be disposed of separately. Your Bosch
specialist equipper can dispose of sensors in the
proper manner.
If fluid (electrolyte) escapes from batteries
and rechargeable batteries, avoid getting it on
your skin or in your eyes.
Rules of conduct:
¶
If contact with skin or eyes happens nevertheless,
wash the affected parts immediately with clean wa-
ter and then consult a doctor.

Danger of injury, Danger of crushing

The vehicle has rotating and moving parts
that can injure fingers and arms.
If the vehicle is not prevented from rolling
away, there is a danger of people being
crushed against a workbench, for example.
There is the risk with electrically operated
fans in particular that the fan can start run-
ning unexpectedly even when the engine and
ignition are off.
Safety measures:
¶
Take steps to prevent the vehicle from rolling away
while it is being tested. Select the park position if the
vehicle has an automatic transmission and apply the
handbrake or lock the wheels with chocks (wedges).
¶
Deactivate the start/stop system when working on a
vehicle in order to prevent uncontrolled engine start.
¶
Operating staff must wear work clothes without
loose bands and loops.
¶
Do not reach in any area with rotating or moving parts.
¶
When working on or in the vicinity of electrically
driven fans, allow the engine to cool down first, then
disconnect the plug of the fan motor.
¶
Route cables at a suitable distance from rotating parts.
¶
Secure the trolley against rolling away by setting the
brakes.
¶
Do not place heavy objects on or lean on the sensor
holder.
¶
Transport and operate the equipment only in accor-
dance with the operating instructions.
