TM 9-2350-277-20-1 WARNING SUMMARY (cont) WARNING Starting engine right after a fire could restart the fire and kill or injure you. Do not turn MASTER SWITCH ON until cause of fire has been repaired or removed. WARNING Fire resistant hydraulic (FRH) fluid may contain Tricresyl Phosphate which, if taken internally, can produce paralysis. Hydraulic fluid may be absorbed through the skin. Wear long sleeves, gloves, goggles, and face shield. If FRH gets in eyes, wash them immediately and get medical aid immediately. If FRH gets on skin, thoroughly wash them with soap and water. Wash hands thoroughly prior to eating or smoking. WARNING Chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) paint contains isocyanate (HDI) which is highly irritating to skin and respiratory system. High concentrations of HDI can produce symptoms of itching and reddening of skin, a burning sensation in throat and nose, and watering of the eyes. In extreme concentrations, HDI can cause cough, shortness of breath, pain during respiration, 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. Use chemical cartridge respirator if air sampling is below standards. • DO NOT let skin or eyes come in contact with CARC paint. Always wear protective equipment (gloves, ventilation mask, safety goggles, etc.) • DO NOT use CARC paint without adequate ventilation. • NEVER weld or cut CARC-coated materials. • DO NOT grind or sand painted equipment without high-efficiency air purifying respirators in use. • BE AWARE of CARC paint exposure symptoms; symptoms can occur a few days after initial exposure. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms are detected. g Change 1
