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

When working inside the vehicle with power off, be sure to ground every
capacitor likely to hold a dangerous voltage potential.

the term "low voltage”. Voltages as low as 50 volts may cause death. For
artificial respiration, refer to FM 21-11.

WARNING
After Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical (NBC) exposure of vehicle, all air filters
shall be handled with extreme caution. Unprotected personnel can experience
injury or death if residual toxic agents or radioactive material are present. If
vehicle is exposed to chemical or biological agents, servicing personnel shall wear
protective mask, hood, protective overgarments, and chemical protective gloves
and boots in accordance with TM 10-277. All contaminated air filters shall be
placed in double-lined plastic bags and moved swiftly to a segregation area away
from the worksite. The same procedure applies for radioactive dust
contamination. The Company NBC team should measure the radiation prior to
filter removal to determine the extent of safety procedures required per the NBC
Annex to the unit Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The segregation area in
which the contaminated air filters are temporarily stored shall be marked with
appropriate NBC placards. Final disposal of contaminated air filters shall be in
accordance with local SOP. Decontamination operation shall be in accordance
with TM 3-220 and local SOP.
