Precaution for construction 

– 

Adhesive/sealant is mainly used to prevent water and dust from going into the vehicle. In 
addition, it has corrosion resistance. Original sealing joints are obvious. If they are damaged, 
it is necessary to apply sealant again. When using adhesive/sealant to close the seam, packing 
with high viscosity shall be selected. Apply it according to instructions for selected material. 

– 

When applying adhesive/sealant, preventative measures shall be taken to avoid 
adhesive/sealant from going into openings (such as door lock, window lifting slot, window 
regulator, seat safety belt retractor) and any moving and rotating components, especially 
parking brake cable. After applying adhesive/sealant, ensure all drainage holes on the body 
are opened. 

– 

When applying, it is necessary to wear goggles and gloves to avoid personal hurt. 

– 

Before delivery, all metal plates have been coated. After maintenance and/or replacement, 
any exposed metal surface shall be painted by primer and then applied by adhesive and 
sealant. 

– 

After applying, some of adhesives/sealants are required to be dried and cured. Drying 
conditions are (70~80)℃, 20~30min.

Minimize direct contact with the skin of fuel. Immediately wash the skin with soap and clean 
water after direct contact with fuel. 

Gasoline 

Highly flammable - comply with the smoking ban. 

If swallowed, gasoline can cause irritation to the mouth and throat. If absorbed in stomach, 
gasoline can lead to weakness and unconsciousness. Only a small amount of gasoline will affect 
the lives of children. If the gasoline enters into the lungs, it is very dangerous. 

Gasoline will cause dry skin. Prolonged or frequent contact with gasoline will cause skin allergies 
and skin infection. Gasoline entering the eye will cause severe eye pain. 

Motor vehicle used gasoline contains a large amount of benzene. Inhaling gasoline can cause 
poisoning. The concentration of gasoline vapor must be kept at low. High concentration of 
gasoline vapor can cause eye, nose and throat irritation as well as nausea, headache, depression, 
physical discomfort and drunken behavior. High concentration of gasoline vapor will lead to rapid 
loss of consciousness. 

When handling gasoline, we must maintain good ventilation, with special attention to operate in a 
confined space. Avoid splashing when pouring gasoline to reduce the risk caused by inhaling 
gasoline vapor. 

Pay special attention when cleaning and carrying out maintenance of gas storage equipment.
