Use extreme care to avoid spilling or splashing electrolyte (which is dilute sulfuric acid) as

it can destroy clothing and burn the skin. If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on clothing or

the body, it should be neutralized immediately and then rinsed with clean water. A solu-

tion of baking soda, or household ammonia, and water may be used as a neutralizer.

Electrolyte splashed into the eyes is extremely dangerous. If this should happen, force

the eye open and flood it with cool, clean water for approximately fifteen minutes. A doc-

tor should be called immediately when the accident occurs and "on-the-spot" medical

attention given if possible. If a doctor cannot come to the scene of the accident immedi-

ately, follow his instructions concerning actions to take. Do not add eye drops or other

medication unless advised to do so by the doctor. Do not place a battery or acid within the

reach of children. If acid (electrolyte) is taken internally drink large quantities of water or

milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Call a physician immedi-

ately. If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on any surface, it should be neutralized and

rinsed with clean water.

3.29 Engine

While the engine is running, check the color of the exhaust. During proper operation, the

exhaust should be colorless. If the engine runs continuously with dark exhaust, stop the

engine and correct the problem before operating the Articulator.

Listen for any unusual engine noises. If the engine suddenly slows down or accelerates,

or is making any abnormal noises, running roughly or displaying any other usual charac-

teristics, stop the engine and correct the problem before operating the Articulator.

Check the oil pressure and water temperature indicator lights (the center and left red

lights located at the top of the control panel). These lights will indicate an inadequate

engine oil pressure, or an excessive engine coolant temperature. If either light is acti-

vated while the engine is running, stop the engine and correct the problem before operat-

ing the Articulator.
