Ignition System Safety Precautions
The ignition system produces extremely high
voltages. Do not touch any part of the ignition
system or any cables while the engine is running.
An electric shock caused by contact with the ignition
system may lead to illness, injury or death.
Wearers of surgically implanted heart pacemaker
devices 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.
Fluoroelastomer material is used in the manufacture
of various seals in Triumph motorcycles.
In fire conditions involving temperatures greater
than
315OC
this material will decompose and can
then be potentially hazardous. Highly toxic and
corrosive decomposition products, including
hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, 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
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 can cause painful and
penetrating burns leading to permanent, irreversible
skin and tissue damage.
Dangerous Susbstances
