• If reducing agent should get on your skin, wash it off immediately with soap and water.
• If reducing agent gets in your eye, rinse the eye for several minutes with water.
• Never inhale or swallow the reducing agent!
• Should you swallow any reducing agent, rinse your mouth, drink plenty of water and contact a doctor immediately.
• Make sure the reducing agent does not come into contact with clothing or the vehicle body.
• If this occurs, wash immediately with clean water and then dry with a lint-free cotton cloth.
• If the reducing agent has already crystallized, use warm water and a sponge.
• Reducing agent that is not removed will crystallize and can damage the affected surface.
• For information on storage and disposal. Ask the importer about storage and disposal information that is specific to the country.
