WARNING SUMMARY

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Death or severe injury may result from explosion or fire if personnel fail to observe the correct

operating procedures for M-2 Burner Units.

The Model M-2 Burner Units should be moved a minimum of 50 feet from the kitchen

and the fuel storage area prior to servicing.

Immediately shut off the burner unit and remove it from the cooking rack or cabinet if

the pressure gauge reaches the red area.

Familiarize yourself with the location of the fire extinguishers and the ladders.

WARNING

CARBON MONOXIDE/DIOXIDE GAS CAN KILL YOU

Carbon monoxide/dioxide gas is not visible and it has no smell, but it can kill you. Breathing

air with carbon monoxide/dioxide produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of

muscular control, a sleepy feeling, and coma. Brain damage or death can result from heavy

exposure.

Carbon monoxide occurs in exhaust fumes of fuel-burning heaters, such as the M-2

and MBU Burner Units, and internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide can

become dangerously concentrated under conditions of no air movement. Precautions

must be followed to insure crew safety when you operate this equipment.

OPEN roof vents to provide ventilation and prevent the accumulation of carbon

monoxide gas.

BE ALERT at all times during kitchen operation for exposure symptoms.

IMMEDIATELY VENTILATE the Kitchen. If symptoms persist, move affected crew to

fresh air and keep warm. DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL EXERCISE: if necessary, give

artificial respiration.

FOR ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION REFER TO FM 21-11

THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

IS GOOD VENTILATION
