Death may result if personnel fail to observe safetyprecautions.Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly poisonous gaswhich, when breathed, deprives the body of oxygen and causessuffocation. Exposure to air contaminated with carbon monoxideproduces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of musclecontrol, or apparent drowsiness. Coma, permanent brain damage,or death can result from severe exposure.Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of internalcombustion engines and becomes dangerously concentratedunder conditions of inadequate ventilation. Observe the followingsafety precautions whenever the engine is running:· Operate engine in a ventilated area only.· Do not idle the engine for long periods without maintaining adequateventilation.· 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. Forartificial respiration, refer to FM21-11. Seek medical attention. Administeroxygen, if available.GOOD VENTILATION IS THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST EXHAUST POISONING.Priming discharge mixture of water and exhaust gases may cause severe burns orinjury. Wear gloves and safety glasseswhen priming pump.· Stand clear of venturi during priming.4-154
