CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Cleaning solvent is combustible. DO NOT use or store near
heat, sparks, flame, or other ignition sources. Use mechanical
ventilation whenever product is used in a confined space,
heated above ambient temperatures, or agitated. Keep
container sealed when not in use. Failure to comply may
result in injury to personnel. Seek medical attention in the
event of an injury.
Contact with cleaning solvent may cause skin irritation. Use
chemical resistant gloves. In case of skin contact, remove
any contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with
soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Eye contact may cause irritation, tearing, or blurring of
vision. Use face shield or goggles when eye contact may
occur. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with large amounts
of water for at least 15 minutes or until irritation subsides.
Inhalation may cause irritation to upper respiratory passages.
DO NOT have food or drink in the vicinity. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death to personnel. Seek
medical attention in the event of an injury.
NOTE
Dirt, grease, oil, and debris may cover up a serious problem.
Check as you clean. Follow precautions printed on container.
Use cleaning solvent to clean metal surfaces. Use soap and
water to clean rubber and plastic.
Cleaning is an after-operation service performed by operators to maintain vehicle
readiness. Vehicles must be kept as clean as possible, depending on the available
cleaning equipment and materials and tactical situation.
General Cleaning Precautions
Perform all cleaning procedures in well-ventilated areas.
Wear protective gloves, clothing, and respiratory equipment when using caustic,
toxic, or flammable cleaning materials.
Never use diesel fuel or gasoline for cleaning.
A fire extinguisher must be readily available during all cleaning operations using
flammable cleaning materials.
