WARNING

FALLING EQUIPMENT HAZARDS

Never crawl under equipment when performing maintenance unless equipment is securely blocked. Equipment may

fall and cause serious injury or death to personnel.

Keep clear of equipment when it is being raised or lowered. Equipment may fall and cause serious injury or death to

personnel.

Do not work on any item supported by lift jacks or hoist. Always use blocks or proper stands to support the item prior

to work. Equipment may fall and cause serious injury or death to personnel.

Do not allow heavy components to swing while suspended by a lifting device. Equipment may strike personnel and

cause injury.

Exercise extreme caution when working near a cable or chain under tension. A snapped cable, shifting or swinging

load may result in injury or death to personnel.

All personnel must stand clear during lifting operations. A swinging or shifting load may cause injury or death to

personnel.

Unless otherwise specified, perform all maintenance procedures with all equipment lowered to the ground, transmis-

sion in neutral, parking/emergency brake applied, and engine stopped to prevent possible injury to personnel due to

falling equipment or rolling vehicle (ref FM 4--25.11).

WARNING

Use care when removing snap and retaining rings. Snap and retaining rings are under tension and act as projectiles

when released and could cause severe eye injury.

Use care when cutting lockwire. Lockwire can act as projectile when cut and could cause severe eye injury.

WARNING

Use tongs or gloves when handling chilled parts or dry ice to prevent injury.
