Avoid splashes to the skin, eyes and clothing. Wear protective gloves, goggles and clothing if
necessary.
Ensure good ventilation when in use, avoid breathing fumes, vapors and spray mists and keep
containers tightly sealed. Do not use in confined spaces.
When spraying materials containing solvents, e.g. paints, adhesive, coatings, use extraction
ventilation or personal respiratory protection in the absence of adequate general ventilation.
Do not apply heat or flame except under specific and detailed manufacturer's instructions.

Suspended Loads
CAUTION: Never improvise lifting tackle.
There is always a danger when loads are lifted or suspended. Never work under an
unsupported, suspended or raised load e.g. suspended engine, etc.
Always make sure that lifting equipment such as jacks, hoists, axle stands, slings, etc., are
adequate and suitable for the job, in good condition and regularly maintained.

Viton
In common with many other manufacturers' vehicles, some components fitted to the Jaguar
range have 'O' rings, seals or gaskets which contain a material known as 'Viton'.
Viton is a fluoroelastomer, that is a synthetic rubber type which contains Fluorine. It is
commonly used for 'O' rings, gaskets and seals of all types. Although Viton is the most well
known fluoroelastomer, there are others, including Fluorel and Tecmoflon.
When used under design conditions fluoroelastomers are perfectly safe. If, however, they are
exposed to temperatures in excess of 400º C, the material will not burn, but will decompose,
and one of the products formed is hydrofluoric acid.
