WARNING SUMMARY (Contd)
Wear hand protection at all times when working with heated parts. Failure to do so may result in injury
to personnel.
Overhead lifting device capacity must exceed dump body weight. A shifting, swinging, or falling load may
cause injury to personnel. Overhead lifting device must remain attached to dump body until trouble-
shooting is completed. Released dump body may fall and may cause injury to personnel.
Use properly rated hydraulic hose when performing hydraulic systems checks on vehicles not equipped
with dump body lock. Failure to do this may result in injury to personnel.
Bleed hydraulic pressure before cracking hydraulic lines. Failure to do so may result in damage to
equipment and injury to personnel.
All personnel must stand clear of dump body during lowering test. Falling dump body may cause injury to
personnel.
All personnel must stand clear during lifting operations. A swinging or shifting load may cause injury to
personnel.
Compressed air source will not exceed 30 psi (207 kPa). When cleaning with compressed air, eyeshields
must be worn. Failure to wear eyeshields may result in injury to personnel.
Improper cleaning methods and use of unauthorized cleaning solvents may injure personnel and damage
equipment. Refer to TM 9-247 for correct information.
Drycleaning solvent is flammable and will not be used near open flame. Use only in well-ventilated places.
Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel.
Do not use compressed air or a dry brush for cleaning when working in areas of vehicle where asbestos
brake lining dust may accumulate. Remove asbestos dust and other residue from these areas using a soft
bristle brush or cloth soaked with water. Breathing asbestos dust may cause injury to personnel.
Do not disconnect air lines before draining air reservoirs. Small parts under pressure may shoot out with
high velocity, causing injury to personnel.
Lifting device and transmission lifting jack must have a weight capacity greater than the weight of the
transmission to prevent damage to equipment and injury to personnel.
Diesel fuel is flammable. Do not perform fuel system procedures near open flame. Injury to personnel may
result.
Test stand must be shut off before changing shims in spring pack. Small parts under pressure may shoot
out causing injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
Use prybar to free transfer from hang-ups or snags. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel.
Ensure transfer is securely mounted to jack with safety chain or strap. Failure to do so may result in
injury to personnel.
Transfer is heavy and bulky. Allow adequate clearance to remove transfer from vehicle. Failure to do so
may result in injury or death to personnel.
Weight of vehicle must be supported on jack stands at all times. Do not attempt to support weight of
vehicle on hydraulic jack. Injury or death to personnel may result if jack fails.
Eye protection is required when using wire brush for cleaning. Failure to do this may result in injury to
personnel.
Unloader valve assembly must be held down during removal. Small parts under pressure may shoot out,
causing injury to personnel.
