Attention The brake fluid used in the brake system is corrosive. In the event of accidental contact with eyes or skin, wash the affected area with generous quantities of running water. The cooling fan operates automatically: keep hands well clear and make sure your clothing does not get caught in the fan. Battery Coolant Engine coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may ignite under particular conditions, producing invisible flames. Although the flames from burning ethylene glycol are not visible, they are still capable of causing severe burns. Attention The battery gives off explosive gases; keep it away from any source of ignition such as sparks, flames and cigarettes. Charge the battery in a wellventilated area. Attention Take care not to spill engine coolant on the exhaust system or engine parts. These parts may be hot and ignite the coolant, which will subsequently burn with invisible flames. Coolant (ethylene glycol) is an irritant and is poisonous when ingested. Keep away from children. Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The coolant will be scalding hot and is under high pressure. 17
