In the self-maintenance of automobiles, there are often some problems. Xiaobian has summarized nine taboos for everyone and hopes that the owners can look closely. This will not only ensure its own safety, but also improve the service life of its own car. Car care should not be underestimated, please cherish life.
Xiao Bian thinks that although the car maintenance work is very simple and there is not much danger, if you do not pay attention to safety, unpleasant things can happen, such as minor damage in the car maintenance, exposure to the exhaust gas and the engine. Splashed toxic liquid etc. Therefore, there are nine taboos in terms of safety when you are maintaining your own vehicle.
Taboo 1: Run the engine for a long time in an unventilated garage. The exhaust gas emitted by the engine contains carbon monoxide, which is an invisible and smelly gas. Prolonged exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide can cause headaches, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, physical weakness, mental confusion, and even brain damage. If the engine is started in a garage, the garage door should be opened or the exhaust device should be opened in order to discharge the exhaust gas from the garage at any time. Do not stay near a working engine exhaust pipe for a long time even if you work in open air.
Contraindication II: Use the mouth to suck the tubing. Gasoline is not only flammable, but toxic. In particular, leaded gasoline can damage people's nervous system, digestive tract and kidneys. In addition, gasoline also contains high concentrations of sulfides, because hydrogen sulfide is also a certain degree of toxicity, if you inhale gasoline, it will lead to poisoning or death. In case of inhalation, you should force yourself to vomit and go to the hospital for treatment.
Taboo 3: stained with carburetor cleaner. Most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatics, and ethanol, all of which are toxic. Therefore, these substances are inhaled into the nose or splashed on the skin and eyes and are very dangerous. .
Taboo 4: Mechanical damage. The maintenance of the car is related to various aspects. When performing the maintenance operation, an obvious operation mark should be set to prevent other people from being injured by misoperation. When starting the car, pay attention to the gear position of the transmission to prevent accidental injury. When working under the bonnet, let other people leave the cab to prevent the engine from turning abruptly or other people operating the mechanism and causing accidental injury. If you need to work under the car, you should set up a clear sign and cover up the car. When jacks are used, the jacks should be placed smoothly. You should prepare your driving tools (drive bench) before driving, and prohibit bricks and other fragile objects. When installing the assembly, do not test the screw holes, keyholes, etc. by hand to avoid rolling off fingers. When testing the engine, you must not work under the car.
Taboo 5: Fire. When maintaining a car, it is often necessary to use flammable and explosive materials such as oil and cleaning agents. Don't forget the fire protection measures at this time, and prepare a fire extinguisher just in case. Do not smoke near fuel tanks and accumulators because combustible gas escaping from the tank and the hydrogen escaping from the battery are easily ignited.
Taboo VI: Burns. In engines that have just turned off, due to the relatively high temperatures of the various parts of the engine (water tanks, exhaust pipes, power steering fluid tanks, spark plugs, etc.), care must be taken to prevent burns. If the engine temperature is high, do not remove the water tank cover or loose open water switch to prevent burns.
Taboo Seven: Damage to the car. The brake fluid can damage the paint film of the car (including the paint film of the shoe), and it can quickly dissolve the paint film. Brake fluid is harmful to the eyes. If it is splashed into the eyes, it must be immediately rinsed with clean water.
Taboo 8: Do not pay attention to rotating parts and car road test protection. When the engine is running, be aware that hands, clothing, and tools must leave the rotating fan and fan belt (preferably remove worn rings, watches, ties, etc.). During the trial run, the condition of various parts of the car should ensure safe stopping and steering. Road test cars must have obvious test marks. During the trial run, personnel must be safe and on a dedicated test track.
Taboo 9: Do not pay attention to the cleanup of the workplace. When closing the engine cover or other assembly cover, check whether the items such as tools, rags, and removed parts are forgotten and wait until they are confirmed.
