USED ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Use latex gloves for the maintenance op-
erations that require contact with used oil.
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if
repeatedly left in contact with the skin for
prolonged periods. Although this is un-
likely unless you handle used oil on a
daily basis, it is advisable to thoroughly
wash your hands with soap and water
after handling used oil.
KEEP OIL AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
BRAKE FLUID
CAUTION
Brake fluid is extremely poisonous. Do not
ever allow brake fluid to be ingested or
swallowed. Should brake fluid accidentally
be swallowed, drink large quantities of
milk or clear water and immediately seek
professional medical assistance. Brake
fluid is highly destructive of skin and eye
tissue. Should you accidentally spill brake
fluid on yourself, remove the contami-
nated clothing, wash your body with soap
and warm water immediately and immedi-
ately seek professional medical assis-
tance. Should you accidentally splash
brake fluid into your eyes, flush with a
large quantity of cool, clear water and im-
mediately seek professional medical as-
sistance.
KEEP BRAKE FLUID AWAY FROM CHIL-
DREN.

COOLANT
In certain conditions, the ethylene glycol con-
tained in the engine coolant is flammable:
its flame is invisible, but you can be burned
anyway.
WARNING
Avoid spilling the engine coolant on the
exhaust system or on the engine compo-
nents.
They may be hot enough to cause the
coolant to ignite and burn without a vis-
ible flame.
The coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause
skin irritation and is poisonous if swal-
lowed.
Coolant and coolant/water mixtures are
sweet to the taste and brightly colored,
therefore are highly attractive to pets and
children. Take extra precautions to keep
new and used coolant out of reach of chil-
dren and animals.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Risk of burn.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the
engine is hot. Wait until the engine has
completely cooled down. The coolant is
under pressure and may splash out and
cause burns.
