Warning:
^
Asbestos fiber dust can be present on brake and clutch assemblies and is hazardous to health if inhaled. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
Brake and clutch assemblies must be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner recommended for use with asbestos fibers, such as a Brake/Clutch/Service
Vacuum. The bag must be labeled per the occupational safety and health act (OSHA) instructions, sealed, and the trash hauler notified as to the
bag's contents' Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
If a vacuum suitable for asbestos is not available, cleaning must be done wet. If dust generation is still possible, technicians must wear
government-approved toxic dust purifying respirators. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
OSHA requires areas where asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning signs. Only technicians performing brake
or clutch repair are to be present in the area. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
