WARNING PAGE

Personnel performing operations, procedures, and practices which are

included or implied in this technical manual shall adhere to the following

instructions. Disregard of these warnings can cause serious or fatal

injury to personnel.

TESTING THE PERSONNEL PARACHUTE HARNESS AND QUICK RELEASE (paragraph 2-18). Failure to rotate the

release operating button to the unlock position prior to placing the quick release into a vise for testing may allow damage

to be incurred upon the center post camway. As a result, the operating button could then be manually depressed while in

the locked position.

CLEANING AND DRYING (paragraph 2-24). Due to flammable properties and nylon-damaging substances, cleaning

solvents other than tetrachloroethylene will not be used in the spot-cleaning of airdrop equipment. Tetracholorethylene

will only be used in areas where substantial ventilation is available. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of the solvent

vapors can be detrimental to human health. In addition, avoid prolonged or repeated contact of the solvent fluid with

areas of the skin. Tetrachloroethylene must not be taken internally.

PARACHUTE CANOPY PATCHING LIMITATIONS (paragraph 3-12). The limitations prescribed for parachute canopy

patching will be stringently adhered to tinder all circumstances and without any deviations.

PARACHUTE CONNECTOR LINK ASSEMBLIES (paragraph 3-30). Use of any type connector link assembly other than

the L-bar connector link assembly on US Army troop-type personnel parachutes and ejection seat parachutes is

prohibited.
