WARNING: Inhalation
of
glycol
mists,
aerosols,
or
high
concentration
of
heated
vapors poses
a
hazard to
humans.
Apply
deicing
fluid
only
in
well-ventilated
areas.
Avoid
inhaling
vapors
or
mists.
If
adequate
ven-
tilation,
designed
to
keep
mists
or
vapors
below
harmful
levels,
Is
not
available,
maintenance
personnel
must
wear
approved
respiratory
protective
devices.
HANDLING
PRECAUTIONS
The
following precautions
should
be
taken when
using deicing
and
anti-icing
fluids:
a.
Do
not
permit
glycol
solution
to
come
in
contact
with
the
skin.
It
may
cause
serious
frostbite.
b.
If the
solution is
spilled
on
gloves
or
clothing,
remove
immediately.
Rapid evaporation
of
the solution
can
lower
temperature
of
material
and
destroy
insulating
qualities.
c.
Avoidcontactwith
skinoreyes.
d.
Stay
on
the windward
side
during
application.
Prolonged
exposure
to
heavy
concentrations
of
glycol vapors
are
to
be avoided.
e.
Don’t
let
solution
contact
bearings.
It
may
dilute the
grease.
f. Avoid
applying
the solution
on
windows
because it
may
reduce
visibility.
g.
Take
care
when
walking
on
surfaces
that
are
coated
with
glycol.
The
mixture leaves
a
slippery
film that
is
hazardous
to
walk
upon.
h.
Take
precautions
to
keep
the solution
from
entering
air ducts
or
cabin
heater and ventilator
ducts,
because
of
toxic
fumes
entering
the
cabin
or
cockpit
during
taxi
or
takeoff.
FLUID
APPLICATION
Airplane
deicing
fluids
may
be
used diluted
or
undiluted
according
to
manufacturer’s
recommendations
for
decing.
Deicing
fluids
may
be
applied
either
heated
or
unheated.
General
recommendations
for
deicing
and
anti-icing
treatments
may
be
summarized
as
follows:
a.
Cold
application
of
deicing
fluid
is
achieved
with
a
powered
deicing
cart.
These
carts
can
be
gasoline
or
electric
powered,
and
usually
have
adjustable
flow
rates,
and
pressure
for
applicable
fluids.
b.
Hot
application
must
be
carried out
with
a
temperature
of
180
to
200"
F.
c.
Remove
as
much
heavy
snow
as
possible
before
applying deicing
fluids.
d. Use
a
stream
or
spray
of fluid
sufficiently
coarse
to
float
away
loose
pieces
of
ice.
e.
Anti-icing
of
ice-free
airplanes
does
not
require
heated
fluid.
Use
only
the
appropriate
spray
equipment
for
the
type
of fluid
being
applied.
The
spray
must
be
fine
and
applied
in
a
thin
uniform
coating.
If
sprayer
is
not
available,
brush
or
paint
the
deicing
fluid
onto
the
airplane’s
surface.
