WARNING
Carbon monoxide is without color or smell, but can cause death. Breathing air with carbon monoxide
produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy feeling, and coma. Brain
damage or death can result from heavy exposure. Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of
fuel-burning heaters and internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide can become dangerously
concentrated under conditions of no ventilation. Precautions must be followed to ensure crew safety when
the personnel heater or engine of any vehicle is operated for any purpose.
1.
DO NOT operate personnel heater or engine of vehicle in a closed place without proper ventilation.
2.
DO NOT drive any vehicle with inspection plates, cover plates, or engine compartment covers
removed unless necessary for maintenance purposes.
3.
BE ALERT at all times during vehicle operation for exhaust odors and exposure symptoms. If either
are present, IMMEDIATELY VENTILATE personnel compartments. If symptoms persist, remove
affected crew to fresh air and keep warm. DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL EXERCISE. If necessary,
give artificial respiration and get immediate medical attention. For artificial respiration, refer to
FM 21-11.
4.
BE AWARE that the gas particulate filter unit or the field protection mask for
nuclear-biological-chemical protection WILL NOT offer safety from carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Adhesives, solvents, and sealing compound can burn easily, can give off harmful vapors, and are harmful to
skin and clothing. To avoid injury or death, keep away from open fire and use in a well-ventilated area. If
adhesive, solvent, or sealing compound gets on skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

ALWAYS use air line respirators when using CARC paint unless air sampling shows exposure to be below
standards. Use chemical cartridge respirator if air sampling is below standards.
