Tesla Model 3: General Precautions
Dangerous Substances
Model 3 vehicles contain many materials and liquids which, if not handled
with care, can be hazardous to both personal health and the environment.
Warning: Many liquids and substances are poisonous and should under
no circumstances be consumed; they should be kept as far as possible from the
skin.
Warning: Always read the instructions printed on labels or stamped
on components carefully and obey them implicitly. Such instructions are included
for reasons of your health and personal safety. Never disregard them.
Health Protection Precautions
The following precautions should be observed at all times:
-
Wear protective clothing, including wear resistant gloves where practicable.
-
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils.
-
Do not put oily rags in pockets.
-
Avoid contaminating clothes (particularly those next to the skin) with oil.
-
Overalls must be cleaned regularly. Discard heavily soiled clothing and oil
impregnated footwear.
-
First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
-
Apply barrier creams before each work period to help prevent lubricating oil
from contaminating the skin.
-
Wash with soap and water to make sure all oil is removed (proprietary skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help).
-
Use moisturizers after cleaning; preparations containing lanolin help
replace the skin's natural oils which have been removed.
-
Do not use petrol/gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, oil, thinners, or
solvents for cleaning skin.
-
Where practicable, de-grease components prior to handling.
-
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
-
Wear eye protection (e.g. goggles or face shield) if there is a risk of eye
contamination. Eye wash facilities should be provided in close vicinity to
the work area.
Note: If adequate personal protection equipment is not available,
notify your Service Center supervisor immediately.
