Solvents
WARNING: Always be extremely careful when handling solvents, sealants and adhesives. Some of them contain chemicals or give off fumes that can be hazardous to health. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. If there is any doubt, especially regarding solvents, do not use these substances.
CAUTION: If there is any doubt as to the suitability of any proprietary solvent or sealant for a particular application, contact the product manufacturer for information.
Chapter "Health and Precautions" covers some commonly used chemicals and materials, the risks associated with their use, and the precautions that must be observed. Some of these chemicals may be part of the sealant or adhesive.
Sealants
Some of the procedures in this manual involve the use of sealants when installing parts. Where a sealant is required, along with the Land Rover part number listed at the beginning of each section of the General Specification, the appropriate repair procedure will also state that a sealant is required.
For each individual procedure, it is important to use the grease intended for it (And); DO NOT use any other sealants.
Always remove old sealant residue with a plastic scraper or suitable solvent; do not use emery cloth or metal scrapers for this purpose.
Adhesives
Where an adhesive is required, the specified type of adhesive should be used, following the manufacturer's application requirements and health and safety requirements.
