WARNING

TM 9-2320-279-20- 3

The radiator is very hot and pressurized during vehicle operation. Let radiator

cool before removing cap. Failure to do so can result in serious burns.

The exhaust pipe and muffler can become very hot during vehicle operation. Be

careful not to touch these parts with bare hands, or allow body to come in

contact with pipe or muffler. Exhaust system parts can become hot enough to

cause serious burns .

Do not use trailer brakes as parking brake. Trailer brakes may not hold a loaded

vehicle and trailer on a grade. A runaway vehicle may cause severe personal

injury or death.

Always use seatbelts when operating vehicle. Failure to use seatbelt can result in

serious injury in case of accident.

Avoid quick, jerking, winch operation. Keep other personnel well away from

vehicles involved in winching operations. A snapped cable or shifting load can

cause serious injury or death.

Always wear heavy gloves when handling winch cables. Never let cable run

through hands; frayed cables can cut. Never operate winch with less than five

wraps-of cable on winch drum .

If operating crane under powerlines, do not allow vehicle to contact high-voltage

connections. Death on contact can result. If possible, keep one hand away from

equipment to reduce the hazard of current flowing through vital organs of the

body .

When working inside the vehicle with power off, be sure to ground every

capacitor likely to hold a dangerous voltage potential.

Never work on electronic equipment unless there is another person nearby who

is familiar with the operation and hazards of the equipment.

Be careful when working on or with electrical equipment. Do not be misled by

the term “low voltage”. Voltages as low as 50 volts may cause death. For

artificial respiration, refer to FM 21-11.
