Safety Avoid Hot Parts Avoid skin contact with exhaust manifolds, turbochargers and mufflers. Keep flammable materials clear of the turbocharger. External dry exhaust parts become very hot during operation. Turbochargers may reach temperatures as high as 500 ° C (932 ° F) under full load, and naturally aspired exhaust manifolds may reach 600 ° C (1112 ° F) under full load. This may ignite paper, cloth or wooden materials. Parts on engines that have been at full load and reduced to no load idle will maintain approximately 150 ° C (302 ° F).
TS271 –UN–23AUG88 Hot Surface OUOD006,000009E –19–04DEC02–1/1 Avoid Harmful Asbestos Dust Avoid breathing dust that may be generated when handling components containing asbestos fibers. Inhaled asbestos fibers may cause lung cancer. Components in products that may contain asbestos fibers are brake pads, brake band and lining assemblies, clutch plates, and some gaskets. The asbestos used in these components is usually found in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is not hazardous as long as airborne dust containing asbestos is not generated. TS220 –UN–23AUG88 Asbestos Dust Avoid creating dust. Never use compressed air for cleaning.
Avoid brushing or grinding material containing asbestos. When servicing, wear an approved respirator. A special vacuum cleaner is recommended to clean asbestos. If not available, apply a mist of oil or water on the material containing asbestos. Keep bystanders away from the area. DX,DUST –19–15MAR91–1/1 05-12 021604 PN=27
