WARNING
Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of internal
combustion engines and becomes dangerously concentrated
under conditions of inadequate ventilation. Observe the fol-
lowing safety precautions whenever the engine is running:
Operate engine in a ventilated area only.
Do not idle the engine for long periods without main-
taining 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 FM21-1 1.
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.
