TM 9-2350-261-20-1 WARNING SUMMARY (cont) WARNING Rear trays of ammo rack could collapse when removed. To prevent injury, move ammo rack from the front. Keep fingers away from spaces between trays on the back of ammo rack. WARNING Chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) paint contains isocyanate (HDI) which is highly irritating to skin and respiratory system. High concentrations of HDI can cause itching and reddening of skin, a burning sensation in throat and nose, and watering eyes. In extreme concentrations, HDI can cause coughing, shortness of breath, pain during breathing, increased sputum production, and chest tightness. The following precautions must be taken whenever using CARC paint: ALWAYS use air line respirators when using CARC paint unless air sampling shows exposure to be below standards. DO NOT let skin or eyes come in contact with CARC paint. Always wear protective equipment (gloves, ventilation mask, goggles, etc.) DO NOT use CARC paint without adequate ventilation. NEVER weld or cut CARC-painted materials. DO NOT grind or sand CARC-painted equipment without high-efficiency air purifying respirators in use. BE AWARE of CARC paint exposure symptoms, which can occur a few days after initial exposure. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms are detected. WARNING Falling ramp could cause severe injuries. Keep personnel clear of ramp area. o
