TB 750-651

(b) Inhalation: Remove effected person to fresh air. If symptoms occur,

consult physician.

medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Remove and discard

contaminated clothing and shoes.

(d) Eye Contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial

flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes

while holding eyelids apart. Get medical attention.

(3) First Aid Measures for Handling and Storage of Cleaning Compounds

(a) Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wear protective clothes,

gloves, and eye protection. Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid breathing mist.

Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

(b) Storage: Store drums closed and away from extreme temperatures. Do not

freeze. Keep Alkaline cleaner away from strong acids and acid cleaner from

strong bases.

5. Requirements

a. Retain antifreeze (CID A-A-52624) and water mixture in engine cooling systems

for as long as the coolant meets the freeze point and the Nitrite concentration

requirement. Use 50/50 antifreeze concentration for normal environment and 60/40

antifreeze concentration for Arctic environment.

(1) Drain, clean, and flush any cooling system that is contaminated regardless of

coolant installation date. Section 8 contains information on cooling system cleaning

compounds. Detailed instructions for draining, cleaning, and flushing cooling systems

are given in TM 750-254 (Cooling Systems: Tactical Vehicles).

(2) For items that are under warranty, follow the manufacturer's

recommendations until the warranty has been expired. Do not use any antifreeze that

does not conform to CID A-A-52624 in Army vehicles past the warranty period.

When switching over to CID A-A-52624 antifreeze, flush the cooling system to

remove all old antifreeze and contaminants.

(3) Periodically test CID A-A-52624 coolant (all types) for Nitrite concentration

and freeze point protection using Test Kit CID A-A-51461 Type II or any commercial

test strips that test the freeze point and Nitrite level.

b. Replace Arctic type antifreeze on an annual basis, preferably at the beginning of

the cold weather season.
