TM 5-4320-302-14 4-21. AIR CLEANER, AIR INTAKE TUBES, ELBOWS, AND RAIN CAP (CONT) Location/Item Action Remarks TEST SYSTEM WARNING Touching exhaust system during test can cause severe burns. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly poisonous gas which, when breathed, deprives the body of oxygen and causes suffocation. Exposure to air contaminated with carbon monoxide produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscle control, or apparent drowsiness. Coma, permanent brain damage, or death can result from severe exposure. Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of internal combustion engines and becomes dangerously concentrated under conditions of inadequate ventilation. Observe the following safety precautions whenever the engine is running: Operate engine in a ventilated area only. Do not idle the engine for long periods without maintaining adequate ventilation. Be alert at all times for exhaust odors and exposure symptoms. Be aware: the field protective mask for chemical biological radiological (CBR) protection will not protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning. Expose victims to fresh air, keep warm, and do not permit physical exercise. For artificial respiration, refer to FM 21-11. Seek medical attention. Administer oxygen, if available. GOOD VENTILATION IS THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST EXHAUST POISONING. Priming discharge mixture of water and exhaust gases may cause severe burns or injury. Wear gloves and safety glasses when priming pump. Stand clear of venturi during priming. CAUTION Prime the centrifugal pump as soon as possible after engine starts. Rotation of impeller without water in volute will damage pump components. 20. Air cleaner Start engine and observe installed components for looseness, assembly and rattles, or leaks. Tighten.
