WARNING
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless,
deadly poisonous gas which, when
breathed, deprives the body of oxygen and
causes suffocation. Exposure to carbon
monoxide produces headache, dizziness,
loss of muscular control, apparent
drowsiness, coma, and permanent brain
damage. Failure to comply may result in
personnel death or injury.
Carbon monoxide occurs in exhaust fumes
and can become dangerously concentrated
under conditions of inadequate ventilation.
The following precautions must be
observed during operation of the vehicle:
•
Do not operate heater or engine in
enclosed areas.
•
Do not drive the vehicle with
inspection plates or cover
plates removed.
•
Do not sleep in the vehicle with the
heater running or the engine idling.
•
Be alert for exhaust fumes and the
symptoms of carbon monoxide
exposure listed above. If either is
present, evacuate the vehicle and
ventilate the personnel
compartments.
•
The gas particulate filter and
Chemical, Biological, Radiological,
and Nuclear (CBRN) mask will not
protect against carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Failure to comply may result in personnel
death or injury.
1. Start personnel heater (WP 0037) and check
operation.
2. Check for any fuel or exhaust leaks.
Any fuel or exhaust leaks
found.
