5.  Do not paint the sensor (see Figure 6-3).  Paint fumes block the sensor’s breathing 
membrane and damage the sensor permanently, thus voiding the warranty.  
 
6.  Do  not  use  hydrocarbon-based  compounds  near  the  sensor.    Do  not  clean  the 
sensor  with  any  solvent  or  other  products  (see  Figure  6-3  below).    The  volatile 
fumes  of  these  compounds  can  deteriorate  sensor  performances.    Products  to 
avoid include:  Paint, liquid Teflon, vehicle exhaust, spray can, black pitch, thinner, 
RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanization; silicon-based mastic) and solvent.
