TM 9-2350-277-10 WARNING SUMMARY (cont) WARNING Vehicle operation during hot weather may result in heat stress to crew members. Crew members should limit their exposure based on TB MED 507. Open door for ventilation, if appropriate. WARNING Fuel lines may vibrate loose or crack during mortar firing. Fuel leaks can cause fumes or fires which cause serious bodily harm or death to personnel. If fuel leaks, STOP FIRING. Repair leaks or cracks, wipe up any excess fuel before you resume firing. WARNING If mission requirements permit, allow the ramp door to remain open, to ensure adequate ventilation. WARNING Personnel may be injured if they come in contact with the inner container or touch the inside of the heater. After the heater has been in operation, the inner container will be very hot. Use care when removing inner container. Wear your gloves. 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. f Change 3
