26 Safety Information
Compressed Air and Water
Compressed air can cause serious personal injury. When using compressed
air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing and
protective shoes. Pressurized water could cause particles and/or hot water to
be sprayed in your direction and cause personal injury. The maximum air
pressure must be below 200 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Asbestos Information
The Volvo engine and replacement parts for it shipped from the factory are
asbestos free. Volvo recommends the use of only genuine Volvo spare parts.
Never use any parts that contain or are thought to contain asbestos. Exposure
to asbestos fibers can create serious health risks, including death.
Fluid Penetration
Always use a piece of paper or cardboard when checking for a leak.
Escaping fluid under high pressure, even a pin-hole sized leak, can
penetrate body tissue, causing serious injury or death. If fluid is injected
into your skin, immediate treatment must be administered by a doctor
familiar with this type of injury.
INJURY PREVENTION
Burn Prevention
Engine Parts
Hot engine. Keep yourself clear of all hot engine parts and/or fluids. A hot
engine and/or fluid can cause serious burns.
