HYDRAULIC FLUID

Hydraulic fluid under high pressure is generated (up to 3300 psi) as a result of operation of the AGPU. Do not

expose any part of the body to a high pressure leak in the hydraulic system. Never attempt to connect or disconnect

hydraulic fittings under high pressure. Ensure that hoses are in good condition, not kinked, and securely connected

to aircraft before applying hydraulic power. Wear gloves and eye protection (goggles or face shield) when operating

hydraulic systems.

EXTREMELY HOT AIR

Extremely hot air under pressure is generated by the AGPU pneumatic system. Allow pneumatic hose and fitting to

cool before touching. Wear gloves and eye protection (goggles or face shield) when operating pneumatic system.

Never set PNEUMATIC POWER switch to ON unless pneumatic hose fitting is securely attached to aircraft. The

hose will attempt to straighten out with power applied, and whip around violently if not securely attached to aircraft.

NOISE

Operating level of this generator can cause hearing damage. Ear protectors, as recommended by the medical or

safety officer, must be worn when working near the AGPU. Require all personnel within 9.1 meters of the AGPU to

wear army approved hearing protectors, earplugs or noise muffs, when the turbine engine is operating.

DEGREASING SOLVENT, MIL-PRF-680

Degreasing Solvent, MIL-PRF-680 is combustible and toxic to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Wear protective

gloves and goggles/face shield. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Use only in well-ventilated areas (or use

approved respirator as determined by local safety/industrial hygiene personnel). Keep away from open flames or

other sources of ignition.

ACCESS DOORS

Open access doors may be blown shut if AGPU is operated in close proximity to hovering or taxiing aircraft.
