TM 9-2350-261-10 WARNING SUMMARY (cont) WARNING When a track vehicle gets out of control and overturns, it is safer to stay in the vehicle than to try to get out while the vehicle is still moving. You may receive slight injuries from being thrown against metal parts; but if you try to leave the vehicle, it may roll over and crush you. Once the vehicle stops moving, get out as fast as possible because spilled fuel and oil may catch on fire. The first thing the driver should do in such an emergency is shut off the engine and turn off the master switch to minimize the fire hazard. WARNING Pivot steering can kill or injure personnel and damage equipment. STOP vehicle and CHECK for clearance before operating pivot steer. Always post ground guides before you pivot when near personnel or equipment. WARNING Ammunition can explode and kill you. Do not start heater until ammunition and combustible/explosive materials are properly stored at least 30 inches from heater vents. Combustible materials must be stored 12 inches or more from metal surfaces of heater. WARNING Heater exhaust fumes contain deadly poisonous gases. Severe exposure can cause death or permanent brain damage. Be alert at all times. Check for smell of exhaust fumes. If you detect or suspect the presence of fumes, open all hatches right away. Shut heater OFF. j
