4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: If affected, move person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not
breathing or if no heartbeat, give artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR). Immediately call a physician. If symptoms or irritation occur with
any exposure, call a physician.
Skin contact: Wash with soap and large amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing. If
symptoms or irritation occur, call a physician.
If product is accidentally injected into or under the skin, regardless of wound size or
initial absence of symptoms, the individual should be evaluated immediately by a
physician as a surgical emergency.
Ingestion: Not expected to be acutely toxic. If large amounts are swallowed, immediately call a
physician.
Eye contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If symptoms or
irritation occur, call a physician.

Notes to physician: High velocity injection under the skin may result in serious injury. If left untreated the
affected area is subject to infection, disfigurement, lack of blood circulation and may
require amputation. When dispensed by high pressure equipment this material can
easily penetrate the skin and leave a bloodless puncture wound. Material injected
into a finger can be deposited into the palm of the hand. Within 24-48 hours the
patient may experience swelling, discoloration, and throbbing pain in the affected
area. Immediate treatment by a surgical specialist is recommended.
Medical conditions aggravated Skin contact could aggravate an existing skin disorder or dermatitis condition.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: For small fires, Class B fire extinguishing media such as
CO2, dry chemical, foam (AFFF/ATC) or water spray can be
used. For large fires, water spray, fog or foam (AFFT/ATC)
can be used. Fire fighting should be attempted only by those
who are adequately trained and equipped with proper
protective equipment.
Specific hazards: This material is not combustible per the OSHA Hazard
Communication Standard, but will ignite and burn at elevated
temperatures.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Avoid using straight water streams. Water spray and foam
(AFFF/ATC) must be applied carefully to avoid frothing and
from as far a distance as possible. Avoid excessive water
spray application. Use water spray to cool exposed surfaces
from as far a distance as possible. Keep run-off water out of
sewers and water sources.
Flash point: >298 F, >148 C
Autoignition temperature: No data available.
Flammable limits in air - lower (%): No data available.
Flammable limits in air - upper (%): No data available.
NFPA rating: HMIS classification:
Health: 1 Health: 1
Flammability: 1 Flammability: 1
Reactivity: 0 Reactivity: 0
Other: - Special: *See Section 8 for guidance in selection of
personal protective equipment.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Keep public away. Isolate and evacuate area. Shut off source if safe to do so.
Advise authorities and National Response Center (800-424-8802) if the product has
entered a water course or sewer. Advise local and state emergency services
agencies, if appropriate. Contain liquid with sand or soil. Recover and return free
product to proper containers. Use suitable absorbent materials such as vermiculite,
sand, or clay to clean up residual liquids.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
MSDS ID NO.: 0303MAR019 Product name: Marathon Multi-Vehicle Automatic Page 3 of 8
Transmission Fluid
Comply with all applicable EPA, OSHA, NFPA and consistent state and local requirements. Use appropriate grounding
and bonding practices. Store in properly closed containers that are appropriately labeled and in a cool well-ventilated
area. Do not cut, drill, grind or weld on empty containers since they may contain explosive residues. Do not pressurize
or expose to heat, open flames, strong oxidizers or other sources of ignition.
Avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact. Exercise good personal hygiene including removal of soiled clothing and
prompt washing with soap and water.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Engineering measures: Local or general exhaust required when using at elevated temperatures that
generate vapors or mists.
Respiratory protection: Not required under normal conditions and adequate ventilation. Approved organic
vapor chemical cartridge or supplied air respirators should be worn when significant
vapors are generated. Observe respirator protection factor criteria cited in ANSI
Z88.2. Self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for fire fighting.
Skin and body protection: Use chemical resistant gloves such as neoprene, nitrile, or PVA to prevent prolonged
or repeated skin contact.
Eye protection: No special eye protection is normally required.
Hygiene measures: No data available.
