WARNING

Use care to prevent refrigerant from touching your skin or eyes. Liquid refrigerant, when exposed to air,

quickly evaporates and will freeze skin or eye tissue. Serious injury or blindness may result if you come

in contact with liquid refrigerant.

When servicing this vehicle, performing maintenance, or disposing of materials such as engine coolant,

transmission fluid, lubricants, battery acids or batteries, consult your unit/local hazardous waste dis-

posal center or safety office for local regulatory guidance. If further information is needed, please con-

tact The Army Environmental Hotline at 1-800-872-3845.

Handle cylinders that contain gas under high pressure as high-energy sources and therefore as potential

explosives. Follow these safety rules to avoid serious injury or death to personnel:

(a) Wear eye protection and gloves when handling cylinders.

(b) Prior to use, inspect cylinders for damage or evidence of leaks.

(d) Secure cylinders when handling or moving them to ensure they do not fall. Do not drop, drag

or roll cylinders.

(e) Do not expose cylinders to temperatures higher than 125F (52C). Keep in well-ventilated

areas away from heat sources, combustible gases or highly combustible materials, and contact

with electrical circuits.

(f) Never use a cylinder that you cannot positively identify its contents.
