WARNING SUMMARY-continued

TB 43-0213

Rustproofing work areas must be adequately ventilated. All personnel in immediate adjacent areas where

rustproofing material is being sprayed should also wear an approved respirator mask.

High pressure washers can discharge water and debris through vent holes in excess of 1200 psi (8274 kPa).

High pressure washer operators must direct all personnel to stand clear of the vehicle during cleaning

operations. Operators must wear eye protection to prevent serious injury from wash-back during cleaning

operations.

Electrical receptacles in work areas must be properly seated and grounded. Electrical cords used must be in

good condition and provide grounding for the tool.

Static electricity is created by a high velocity flow of fluid through the pump and hose. For this reason, the

dispensing system must be properly grounded. If not, sparking may occur which can ignite fumes from

solvents, dust, or other flammable substances. Spark ignition of flammable materials can result in an

explosion and serious bodily injury. To prevent such hazards, ensure that the equipment is properly

grounded.

For first aid information, refer to FM 21-11.
