basins if biological contamination is suspected.
Dust Hazard
• Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous
dusts, including crystalline silica, could cause fatal or
serious respiratory disease including silicosis.
Concrete, masonry, many types of rock, and various
other materials contain silica sand. California lists
repairable crystalline silica as a substance known to
cause cancer. Operation of this equipment under
certain conditions may generate airborne dust
particles that could contain crystalline silica. In those
conditions personal protective equipment including
an appropriate respirator must be used. If excessive
dust is generated, a dust collection or suppression
system should also be used during operation.
Operating, servicing and maintaining this
equipment can expose you to chemicals
including gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricants,
petroleum products, engine exhaust, carbon
monoxide, and phthalates, which are known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize
exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle
the engine except as necessary, service your
vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when servicing
your vehicle. Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. This website,
operated by California's Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment, provides information
about these chemicals and how individuals may
be exposed to them.
