WARNING SUMMARY (cont)

TM 5-2410-237-23

WARNING

R-134A REFRIGERANT

· Use care to prevent refrigerant from touching your skin or eyes. Liquid refrigerant, when exposed to air,

quickly evaorates and will freeze skin or eye tissue. Serious injury or blindness may result if you come in con-

tact with liquid refrigerant.

· 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 a fire or explosion, which could cause injury

or death to personnel.

· DO NOT work in an area where refrigerant may contact an open flame or burning material such as a ciga-

rette. When refrigerant contacts extreme heat, refrigerant breaks down into poisonous phosgene gas which, if

breathed, causes severe respiratory irritation. DO NOT breathe fumes from an open flame leak detector.

WARNING

SILICONE RTV COMPOUND

· Exposure to silicone RTV compound may be hazardous to your health. Contact with eyes can cause severe

irritation and burns. Compound can be absorbed into the skin nd can cause irritation or skin sensitization.

Inhalation of vapors can cause respiratory tract irritation; prolonged inhalation can result in an allergic reac-

tion. Vapors are combustible. Do not use near open flame. Wear eye and skin protection and avoid inhalation

of vapors. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Failure to follow this warning can cause injury or death.

· If compound gets into eyes, flush with large amounts of running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical

attention immediately. If compound gets on skin, remove as much as possible using mechanical/waterless

methods, then flush with water. Seek medical attention for any burns or irritation. If inhaled, remove person

to fresh air and provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, or perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If

injested, call physician immediately. If conscious, drink water.

WARNING

SOLVENT CLEANING COMPOUND

· Solvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxic material.

However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles. Use in well-ventilated

areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition.

· NOTE: P-D-680 Type II is no longer in use and has been replaced by MIL-PRF-680 Type III.

WARNING

TESTING/ADJUSTING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

· When testing and adjusting hydraulic system. Always move machine away from traffic pattern and away

from personnel. Allow only one person on the machine. Keep all other personnel off to one side and within

view of the operator.

· When blade and/or ripper must be raised while tests and adjustments are being performed, ensure they are

securely supported. Relieve hydraulic system pressure before disconnecting any line or fitting. Serious injury

or death could result if system pressure is not relieved.
