FOREWORD
Coolant
•
In certain situations, the ethylene glycol contai-
ned  in  the  coolant  is  flammable  and  its  flame 
is  invisible.  Should  the  ethylene  glycol  ignite, 
even though its flame is invisible, it will cause 
burns.
•
Prevent  the  coolant  from  coming  into  contact 
with hot parts. These parts can be hot enough 
to ignite the flame.
•
The  coolant  (ethylene  glycol)  may  cause  skin 
irritation and is poisonous if swallowed.
•
If the coolant comes into contact with your skin, 
immediately remove any contaminated clothes 
or shoes and wash with soap and water. If con-
tact  is  made  with  your  eyes,  rinse  thoroughly 
with  clean  water  and  consult  a  doctor  imme-
diately. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting so 
as  to  prevent  it  from  being  absorbed  into  the 
lungs.  The  person  in  question  must  drink  cle-
an  water  and  must  also  be  taken  immediately 
to hospital. The product must be shown to the 
medical staff.
•
In case of exposure to a high concentration of 
vapours, the person in question must be moved 
to an unpolluted area and if necessary, a doctor 
must be called.
•
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engi-
ne is still hot. Since the coolant is under pressu-
re, it can spurt out violently and cause burns.
•
Coolant contains hazardous substances that are 
harmful  to  the  environment.  When  replacing 
the coolant you must have the right equipment 
for  its  disposal,  in  compliance  with  applicable 
regulations.
•
Do not dispose of coolant in the environment.
•
Keep out of reach of children.
Hot parts
•
The engine and  the  exhaust  system  become 
very hot  and remain  so  for  some  time,  even 
after the engine  is  switched off.  Wait for them 
to cool before handling or intervening in parts 
that  are  around  them.  Also use  insulating  glo-
ves.
