Compliance with safety regulations in the repair and maintenance of the car - a pledge to stay healthy, health, and sometimes life. No matter how boring these rules, they should perform. As the saying goes, better to be dull, but alive and well. Grouped below basic unpleasant and dangerous situations that occur in the repair of automobiles. Scalding and burns to be aware that the motor is running (and even some time after he stops) with hot liquid. You can not remove the radiator cap and expansion tank to cool the engine. Hot steam and suddenly escaped from under the removable cap can cause serious burns. Motor oil, transmission fluid, and steering can also be very hot. It should be noted that the burns caused by oil, can be severe burns from hot water. You should always remember that any part of the motor during its operation and for a while after it stops may be hot. Particularly strongly heated exhaust system. When braking, can get very hot brake discs and drums. The fall raised the car jack car jack lifted, be sure to substitute the car under a solid and reliable support. Remember that even the most reliable ram can not withstand the weight of the vehicle, operate the vehicle, which is based only on the jack deadly! It is best to use an observation pit or trestle. When unscrewing the fasteners and screwdriving, requiring much effort, it is not recommended to do it on a raised jack a car because the car on jack potentially susceptible to an annex, to the efforts that could lead to his downfall with the jack. Combustion of gasoline and oil are flammable liquids. Gasoline fumes are explosive. Should not enter the fuel on hot engine. Smoking near the vehicle when its repair is not acceptable. The same applies to the use of open fires. Should be carefully followed to near the car was not repairable ignition sources, what could be faulty wiring or even fallen badly bench tools. Use caution when repairs and maintenance of electrical car parts, preventing short circuits and sparks. Short circuits can cause overheating of wiring and fire insulation of electrical wires. It is absolutely necessary to have on hand a fire extinguisher suitable for extinguishing burning fuel and electrical wiring. Electrical shock can not touch the wires of the ignition system, engine running. Remember that there is a high voltage. Be careful when working with a battery and electrical circuits, leading to it. Despite the low voltage in these circuits, it is also potentially dangerous in some situations. Remember that it is absolutely safe electrical voltages do not exist! Toxic substances exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide is that, if inhaled, can lead to poisoning and death. Carbon monoxide (otherwise it is called "carbon monoxide") is formed in the case of incomplete combustion of fuel in the engine. Of course, nobody did anything to inhale exhaust fumes, but in the case of the car in an enclosed space such as a garage, the concentration of toxic exhaust gases can rise to deadly. Fuel vapor and various solvents are also toxic. Work with them only in well ventilated areas or outdoors. Because gasoline fumes are heavier than air, it is impossible to carry out works in the fuel system, while in the observation pit. Most of the fluids used in automobiles, are poisonous and toxic, whether it's fuel (especially diesel), antifreeze, grease, battery electrolyte, brake fluid. Do not expose them to the skin. Especially it is necessary to protect eyes from falling into them, these liquids. Do not drain the fluid through the hose to pour them. This can lead to swallow. Specific hazards Hydrofluoric acid when heated to temperatures above 400 degrees, some types of synthetic rubber may produce hydrofluoric acid - a toxic substance, also very durable, able to persist for years. After contact with skin contained charred from the heat of the rubber hydrofluoric acid is readily absorbed into the body, causing severe poisoning. If you want to work with the car, suffered from the fire, you need to wear protective gloves, and then the gloves are to be destroyed. Some asbestos lining in the car, as well as friction and brake linings may contain asbestos - a carcinogenic substance. The danger is inhalation of asbestos dust. Air bags with care when removing the steering wheel and instrument panel, as you can get injured during airbag deployment. Battery The battery in the electrolyte is sulfuric acid - a corrosive and toxic liquid. Be extremely careful when pouring the electrolyte in the battery and when it is carrying. The battery may release hydrogen - flammable explosive gas. Make sure the battery was not near an open flame and sparks. The jet of air from an air compressor for blowing various places in the repair and maintenance of the vehicle is often used a stream of air fed through a hose from an air compressor. It is impossible in any case be sent to this stream of people-even a weak stream of air under certain conditions can cause injury and cause injury.
