IMMEDIATE HEALTH EFFECTS
Eye: Not expected to cause prolonged or significant eye irritation.
Skin: Contact with the skin is not expected to cause prolonged or significant irritation. Not
expected to be harmful to internal organs if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: Not expected to be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation: Not expected to be harmful if inhaled. Contains a petroleum-based mineral oil. May
cause respiratory irritation or other pulmonary effects following prolonged or repeated inhalation
of oil mist at airborne levels above the recommended mineral oil mist exposure limit. Symptoms
of respiratory irritation may include coughing and difficulty breathing.
SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove contact lenses, if worn, and flush eyes
with water.
Skin: No specific first aid measures are required. As a precaution, remove clothing and shoes if contaminated. To
remove the material from skin, use soap and water. Discard contaminated clothing and shoes or thoroughly clean
before reuse.
Ingestion: No specific first aid measures are required. Do not induce vomiting. As a precaution, get medical
advice.
Inhalation: No specific first aid measures are required. If exposed to excessive levels of material in the air, move
the exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if coughing or respiratory discomfort occurs.
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE CLASSIFICATION:
OSHA Classification (29 CFR 1910.1200): Not classified by OSHA as flammable or combustible.

Prostar 4 Cycle Heavy Duty Oil SAE 40 Product Number(s): 27900, 27932, 27905, 27955
SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES cont鈥檇
Flammability (Explosive) Limits (% by volume in air): Lower: NA Upper: NA.EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use
water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (CO2) to extinguish flames.
PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS:
Fire Fighting Instructions: This material will burn although it is not easily ignited. For fires involving this material,
do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solids,
liquids, and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds will be
evolved when this material undergoes combustion. Combustion may form oxides of: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in vicinity of spilled material.
Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further
contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in
Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent
materials or pumping. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials
in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U.S. Coast Guard's National Response Center at (800)
424-8802 as appropriate or required.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautionary Measures: Keep out of the reach of children.
General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage
systems and bodies of water.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this
material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be
sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating an accumulation of electrostatic charge
and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling,
gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating
procedures. For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible
Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the
American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of
Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'.
Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it
may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame,
sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty
containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or
disposed of properly..
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits, job activities, and other
substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment. If
engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the
personal protective equipment listed below is recommended. The user should read and understand all
instructions and limitations supplied with the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time
or under certain circumstances.
Special note: Do not use in breathing air apparatus or medical equipment.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use in a well-ventilated area.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye/Face Protection: No special eye protection is normally required. Where splashing is possible, wear safety
glasses with side shields as a good safety practice.
Skin Protection: No special protective clothing is normally required. Where splashing is possible, select
protective clothing depending on operations conducted, physical requirements and other substances. Suggested
materials for protective gloves include: 4H (PE/EVAL), Nitrile Rubber, Silver Shield, Viton.
Prostar 4 Cycle Heavy Duty Oil SAE 40 Product Number(s): 27900, 27932, 27905, 27955
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION cont鈥檇
Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is normally required. If user operations generate an oil mist,
determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit for mineral oil mist. If not, wear an
approved respirator that provides adequate protection from the measured concentrations of this material. For air-
purifying respirators use a particulate cartridge. Use a positive pressure air-supplying respirator in circumstances
where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
