TM 10-5410-228-24

Failure to observe all warnings in the referenced procedures may result in injury or death to personnel.

Personnel riding in the LMS must have their safety belts fastened during vehicular movement.

Failure to perform all maintenance setup tasks, as directed in each maintenance paragraph, can result in

serious injury or death to personnel.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK

Low voltage/high current circuits can kill. The following safety steps shall be followed if someone is the

victim of electrical shock:

Do not try to pull or grab the individual.

Turn off the electrical power, if possible.

Pull, push, or lift the person to safety using a dry wooden pole or a dry rope or some other insulating

material if power cannot be shut off.

Give artificial respiration, refer to FM 4-25.11.

Send for help as soon as possible.

LIFTING

Improper lifting can cause injury to personnel. Use the following precautions when lifting:

Use proper number of people when called for. When in doubt, use help.

Be aware of all lifting points and follow procedures.

Obey lift restrictions and utilize mechanical aids as required.

Prevent back injury, lift with legs and not your back.

Do not attempt to lift HMT tongue alone if HMT is heavily loaded. Lifting heavy HMT tongue alone can

cause back injury. Use crank on front caster to raise HMT tongue out of the way.

Do not attempt to lift High Mobility Trailer (HMT) tongue ring without first lowering rear leg since HMT

could tip upwards and injure personnel.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

The chemicals (such as solvents, adhesives, sealant, paints, lubricants, etc.) used in maintenance procedures

may present fire or chemical hazards if used without proper precautions. Observe manufacturers warning

labels and the warnings and cautions contained in this manual. Ensure sufficient ventilation exists,

protective clothing and equipment is used, and sources of ignition are removed.

Observe Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) clothing and handling procedures in accordance with field

manuals FM 3-11.5, FM 4-02.4, and FM 4-02.7.

Heat seal repairs may produce toxic fumes. All repairs should be performed in a well ventilated area.

Adhesive and cleaning agents are flammable and can ignite, causing burns. Perform work in a well-

ventilated area away from fire.

ENTRY AND EXIT

The LMS height above the ground when mounted on the ECV and low door frame present potential hazards

during entry and exit. Use extreme care when climbing or descending the ladder to avoid falling. Be alert to

the low door frame to avoid hitting your head. Also use caution when climbing and descending from the roof

of the LMS.
