This list summarizes critical warnings in this technical bulletin. They are repeated here to let you know how

important they are. Study these warnings carefully. They can save your life and the lives of personnel you work

with. If there is any doubt about handling tools, materials, equipment, and procedures, see TB 43-0216, Safety and

Hazard Warnings for Operation and Maintenance of TACOM Equipment.

FOR INFORMATION ON FIRST AID, REFER TO FM 4-25.11.

WARNING

Adhesives, solvents, and sealing compounds can burn easily, can give off harmful

vapors and are harmful to skin and clothing. To avoid injury or death, keep away

from open fire and use in well-ventilated areas. If adhesive, solvent, or sealing

compound gets on skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

WARNING

Ensure engine is cool prior to checking AC compressor belts. Failure to comply may

result in injury to personnel.

WARNING

Dry cleaning solvent is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles and gloves;

use only in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes; and DO

NOT breathe vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never smoke when using dry

cleaning solvent; the flashpoint for Type II is 140° (60°C), and for Type III it is 200°F

(93°C). Failure to follow this warning may result in death or injury to personnel.

WARNING

If personnel become dizzy while using dry cleaning solvent, immediately get fresh

air and medical help. If solvent contacts skin or clothes, flush with cold water. If

solvent contacts eyes, immediately flush them with water and get immediate medical

attention.

WARNING

Use care to prevent refrigerant from touching skin or eyes. Liquid refrigerant, when

exposed to air, quickly evaporates and will freeze skin or eye tissues. Serious injury

or blindness may result if you come in contact with liquid refrigerant.

WARNING

Refrigerant R-134a air conditioning systems should not be pressure tested or leak

tested with compressed air. Combustible mixtures of air and R-134a may form,

resulting in fire or explosion, which could cause personnel injury or death.

WARNING

Ensure engine is cool before performing maintenance. Failure to comply may result

in severe burns.
