WARNING EXHAUST GASES CAN BE DEADLY Exposure to exhaust gases produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscu- lar control, apparent drowsiness, and coma. Permanent brain damage or death can result from severe exposure. Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of fuel burning heaters and internal combustion engines, and becomes dangerously concentrated under conditions of in- adequate ventilation. The following precautions must be observed to insure the safe- ty of personnel whenever fuel burning heater(s) or engine of any vehicle is operated for maintenance purposes or tactical use. Do not operate heater or engine of vehicle in an enclosed area unless it is adequately ventilated. Do not idle engine for long periods without maintaining adequate ventilation in per- sonnel compartments. Do not drive any vehicle with inspection plates or cover plates removed unless neces- sary for maintenance purposes. Be alert at all times during vehicle operation for exhaust odors and exposure symptoms. If either are present, immediately ventilate personnel compartments. If symptoms persist, remove affected personnel from vehicle and treat as follows: expose to fresh air; keep warm; do not permit physical exercise; if necessary, administer artificial respiration. If exposed, seek prompt medical attention for possible delayed onset of acute lung congestion. Administer oxygen if available. The best defense against exhaust gas poisoning is adequate ventilation. WARNING Serious or fatal injury to personnel may result if the following instructions complied with. Dry cleaning solvent is flammable. Do not use near an open flame. Keep a are not fire ex- tinguisher nearby when solvent is used. Use only in well-ventilated places. Failure to do this may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment. Be careful when taking out seals with a screwdriver. Screwdriver may slip and cause serious injury to personnel. Do not dry bearings with compressed air. Spinning bearings may explode and cause serious injury to personnel. Do not work on tire until all the air is out of it. Stand clear of retaining ring to avoid injury if the ring should fly off. Be careful when inflating tire. Remounted tires should always be inflated in a safety cage. If a safety cage is not available, turn tire and rim over with outer hub side down. Always wear leather gloves when handling cable. Do not let cable run through hands. If cable is frayed, sharp ends can go through leather glove and cause injury. Broken or rusty wires can cause serious injury to personnel. a
