Auxiliary materials

Use only fluids and lubricants that have been tested and approved by MTU.

Fluids and lubricants must be kept in suitable, properly designated containers. When using fluids, lubricants and

other chemical substances, follow the safety instructions applicable to the product. Take care when handling hot,

chilled or caustic materials. When using inflammable materials, avoid sparks and do not smoke.

Lead

When working with lead or lead-containing pastes, avoid direct contact to the skin and do not inhale lead vapors.

Adopt suitable measures to avoid the formation of lead dust!

Switch on fume extraction system.

After coming into contact with lead or lead-containing materials, wash hands!

Acids and alkaline solutions

When working with acids and alkalis, wear protective goggles or face mask, gloves and protective clothing.

Immediately remove clothing wetted by acids and alkalis!

Rinse injuries with plenty of water!

Rinse eyes immediately with eyedrops or clean tap water.

Painting

When painting in other than spray booths equipped with extractors, ensure good ventilation. Make sure that

adjacent work areas are not affected.

It is absolutely necessary to wear masks providing protection against paint and solvent fumes.

Observe fire prevention regulations!

No smoking.

No naked flame!

Liquid oxygen

Liquid oxygen is highly inflammable.

Liquid oxygen should only be stored in small quantities and in regulation containers (without fixed seals)! Do not

bring liquid oxygen in contact with the body (hands), as this causes frostbite and possibly the loss of tissue.

No smoking, no naked flame (risk of explosion)! Excessive oxygen in the air leads to explosive combustion.

Do not store combustible substances (e.g. oils and greases) within 5 m of the working area!

Under no circumstances should clothing be oily or greasy.

Do not allow vapors to penetrate clothing! Oxygen enrichment in fabric can cause working clothes to ignite

suddenly!

After working with liquid oxygen, do not smoke until clothing is free of vapors!

Avoid all knocks and jars to the containers, fixtures or workpieces.
