Ignition System Safety Precautions
The ignition system produces extremely high
voltages.
Do
not touch any part of the ignition
system or any cables while the engine
is
running.
An
electric shock caused
by
contact with the ignition
system
may
lead
to
illness, injury or death.
Wearers
of
surgically implanted heart pacemaker
devices should
not
be
in
close proximity to ignition
circuits
and
or diagnostic equipment.
The ignition system and
any
diagnostic equipment
may
interrupt the normal operation
of
such devices
causing illness or death.
Dangerous Susbstances
Many liquids
and
other substances
used
in
motor
vehicles
are
poisonous
and
should under
no
circumstances
be
consumed
and
should,
as
far
as
possible,
be
kept from contact with
the
skin. These
substances among others include acid, anti-freeze,
asbestos, brake fluid, fuel, lubricants, and various
adhesives. Always pay close attention to the
instructions printed
on
labels
and
obey the
instructions contained within. These instructions
are included for your safety
and
well-being.
NEVER DISREGARD THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
General Information
Fluoroelastomers
Fluoroelastomer material
is
used
in
the manufacture
of
various seals
in
Triumph motorcycles.
In
fire conditions involving temperatures greater
than
31SoC
this material
will
decompose
and
can
then
be
potentially hazardous. Highly toxic
and
corrosive decomposition products, including
hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, fluorinated
olefins and carbon monoxide
can
be
generated and
will be present
in
fumes from fires.
In
the presence of
any
water or humidity hydrogen
fluoride
may
dissolve
to
form extremely corrosive
liquid hydrofluoric acid.
If
such
conditions exist,
do
not touch the material
and
avoid
all skin contact.
Skin
contact with liquid or
decomposition residues
can
cause painful and
penetrating burns leading
to
permanent, irreversible
skin
and
tissue damage.
Oils
The engine
and
bevel
box oils
may
be
hot
to
the
touch. Contact with hot
oil
may
cause the skin
to
be
scalded or burned.
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil can
lead to skin dryness, irritation
and
dermatitis.
In
addition
used
engine
oil
contains potentially harmful
contaminants which
can
cause cancer. Wear
suitable clothing
and
avoid
skin contact.
Health Protection Precautions
•
Avoid
prolonged
and
repeated contact with oils,
particularly
used
engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
•
Do
not put oily
rags
in
pockets.
• Overalls must
be
cleaned regularly. Discard
heavily soiled clothing
and
oil
impregnated
footwear.
• First
aid
treatment should be obtained
immediately for
open
cuts
and
wounds. Always
