WARNING
HIGH-PRESSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
•
Hydraulic systems can cause serious injuries if high-pressure lines
or equipment fails.
•
Never work on hydraulic systems or equipment unless there is
another person nearby who is familiar with the operation and hazards
of the equipment and can give first aid.
•
Never disconnect any hydraulic hose or part while the engine is
running. Allow several minutes to elapse after shutting off engine, to
allow pressure to relieve itself, before attempting to remove hoses.
Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel.
•
The HEMTT vehicles contain hydraulic systems operating at oil
pressures up to 3,000 psi (20 685 kPa) and 3,200 psi (22 064 kPa).
Never disconnect any hydraulic line or fitting without first dropping
the pressure to zero. Failure to comply may result in serious injury or
death to personnel.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
•
Remove all jewelry, such as rings, ID tags, bracelets, etc. If jewelry
or tools contact electrical circuits, a direct short may result. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury or death to personnel.
•
Do not smoke, use open flame, make sparks or other ignition sources
around batteries. A battery giving off gas could explode. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury or death to personnel.
•
Be careful when working on or with electrical equipment. Do not be
misled by the term "low voltage". Voltages as low as 50 volts can
cause death. For artificial respiration, refer to FM 4-25.11.
•
When working inside the vehicle with power off, be sure to ground
every capacitor likely to hold a dangerous voltage potential.
