WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Always use seatbelts when operating vehicle. Failure to use seatbelt can result in
serious injury in case of accident.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
When working inside the vehicle with power off, be sure to ground every
capacitor likely to hold a dangerous voltage potential.
WARNING
Never work on electronic equipment unless there is another person nearby who
is familiar with the operation and hazards of the equipment.
WARNING
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.
