COOLANT
The coolant is:
– inflammable and emits invisible flames;
– harmful by inhalation, if swallowed or in contact with skin, with possible serious consequences;;
– irritating to skin;
– harmful to the soil and aquatic environment, harmful to flora and fauna.
To be avoided:
– contact with skin;
– inhalation of vapours;
– ingestion;
– release to the environment;
– exposure of coolant to air.
During filling and in the vicinity of coolant vapours:
– do not smoke;
– do not use naked flames, sparks or any other source of ignition;
– switch off the engine and the lights.
If swallowed do not induce vomiting but seek medical advice immediately (first aid post), indicating the cause and how
the accident occurred. If the time required to reach a first aid post exceeds one hour, induce vomiting but in any case
seek medical attention. After contact with skin, wash the affected part immediately with soap and water, repeating the
operation until completely clean. In case of contact with eyes and ears, immediately rinse the affected parts with plenty of
water and urgently go to a first aid center, indicating the cause and how the accident occurred.
After contact with clothes, remove contaminated articles and wash immediately with plenty of water and soap. Change the
dirty clothes, which must be washed as soon as possible.
Avoid coolant spilling or overflowing from the tank; if it comes into contact with overheated engine parts it could cause
a fire with invisible flames. If coolant is accidentally spilt, clean the affected area thoroughly. Always wear latex gloves to
protect hands when carrying out maintenance.
An increase in the temperature causes the coolant to increase in volume.
