you become dizzy while using dry cleaning solvent, get fresh air immediately and get medical help. If
solvent contacts eyes, wash your eyes and get medical aid immediately. Failure to comply may cause
injury or death to personnel.

clean and do not allow dust, dirt, or other foreign material to mix with lubricants. Keep lubrication equipment clean and
ready for use.

Clean area around lubrication points with dry cleaning solvent or equivalent before lubricating equipment. Keep all
external parts of equipment not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. After lubrication, wipe off excess lubricant to
prevent accumulation of foreign matter.
