Failure to do so may result in injury or death to personnel. • If personnel become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, immediately get fresh air and medical help. If solvent contacts skin or clothes, flush with cold water. If solvent contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes with water and get medical attention. b. Cleaning Fittings Before Lubrication.
