10: KEEP HANDS AND OTHER OBJECTS AWAY FROM THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN.
THE FAN CAN START UP ANYTIME.
11: BATTERY ACID CAN DAMAGE CLOTHING AND BURN SKIN OR EYES. IF CONTACT
IS MADE WITH BATTERY ACID, WASH THE AFFECTED AREA WITH AS MUCH
WATER AS POSSIBLE AND USE A WEAK SODA (SUCH AS BAKING SODA) TO
NEUTRALISE THE ACID. IF ACID ENTERS THE EYES, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
12: DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST GASES. WORK IN A PROPERLY VENTILATED AREA.
EXHAUST GASES CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH IS A COLOURLESS
AND ODOURLESS LETHAL GAS.
13: WIPE UP FUEL SPILLS IMMEDIATELY AND DISPOSE OF SOAKED RAGS IN
PROPER AIRTIGHT CONTAINERS. THE SOAKED RAGS PRODUCE FUMES WHICH
ARE EXPLOSIVE.
14: NEVER SMOKE NEAR ENGINE FUEL. FUEL FUMES ARE EXPLOSIVE.
15: DO NOT OPEN CLOSED COOLANT SYSTEMS WHILE THE FLUID IS HOT. STEAM
WILL ESCAPE WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
16: NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE CARBURETTOR THROAT WHEN CRANKING
OR RUNNING THE ENGINE. BACKFIRING CAN CAUSE BURNS.
17: AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT SURFACES SUCH AS:
• EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND PIPES
• MUFFLERS
• CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
• RADIATORS AND HOSES.
THESE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
18: NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME NEAR THE BATTERY. BATTERIES PRODUCE A
HYDROGEN GAS WHICH EXPLODES WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH FIRE.
19: ALWAYS KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THE WORK AREA. IT SHOULD BE
SUITABLE FOR A RANGE OF USES INCLUDING GASOLINE, CHEMICAL AND
ELECTRICAL FIRES.
20: DO NOT LAY TOOLS OR EQUIPMENT ON THE BATTERY. ACCIDENTAL SHORTING
OF THE BATTERY TERMINALS CAN CAUSE SHOCKS AND BURNS, AND DAMAGE
THE VEHICLE WIRING OR THE BATTERY ITSELF.
21: SAFETY GOGGLES SHOULD BE ALWAYS WORN WHILE WORKING ON A VEHICLE
TO PROTECT THE EYES FROM ACID, DUST, GASOLINE AND ANY OTHER LOOSE
OBJECTS THAT MAY COME FROM ANY MOVING PARTS.
22: NEVER WEAR WRIST WATCHES, RINGS OR OTHER JEWELLERY WHEN
WORKING ON A VEHICLE. SUCH ITEMS MAY CATCH ON MOVING PARTS OR
CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH CAN BURN OR INJURE THE
WEARER.
23: NEVER SPILL ANY TYPE OF LIQUID ON OR INTO THE TESTER. THIS CAN DAMAGE
THE TESTER AND RENDER IT UNSAFE.
