3 Always ground every part before touching careful not to contact high-voltage connections or 115 volt ac input connections wheninstalling or operating this the nature of the operation permits, keep one hand away from the equipmentto reduce the hazard of current flowing through the : Do not be misled by the term low voltage. Potentials as low as 50 volts maycause death under adverse Artificial Respiration, refer to FM 11-5985-379-14&PSAFETY SUMMARYThe following are general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedures andtherefore do not appear elsewhere in this publication.

4 These are recommended precautions thatpersonnel must understand and apply during many phases of operation and AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITSO perating personnel must at all times observe all safety regulations. Unless specifically directed inthis manual, do not replace components or make adjustments inside the equipment with anypower supply turned on. Under certain conditions, dangerous potentials may exist in the powersupplies when the power control is in the off position. To avoid casualties, always remove powerand discharge and ground a circuit before touching NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONEU nder no circumstances should any person reach into or enter the enclosure for the purpose of ser-vicing or adjusting the equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of AIDEach person engaged in electrical operations will be trained in first aid, particularly in the techni-que of mouth to mouth resuscitation and closed chest heart massage (FM 21-11).

5 The following warnings appear in this volume, and are repeated here for 3-wire (line, neutral, and safety ground) AC line power connections is required whenoperating the equipment. If a 3-wire safety grounded AC power receptacle is notavailable, a separate ground wire must be installed from the chassis ground to an earthground. Without an adequate ground, the equipment chassis and frame will float to adangerously high voltage is used in the operational checkout of this unit. Death on contact mayresult if personnel fail to observe the following safety precautions.

6 Remove watches andrings and exercise extreme caution when working inside the equipment throughout the re-mainder of this 11-5985-379-14&PWARNINGA ntenna must be installed a distance equal to at least twice the height of the ANTENNA from ANTENNA is up for an extended period of time insure the mast is directly grounded throughground heavy equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury. Do not try to lift more than 35pounds by yourself. Get a helper. Bend legs while lifting. Don t support heavy weight with ventilation should be provided while using TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE.

7 Pro-longed breathing of vapor should be avoided. The solvent should not be used near heat or openflame, the products of decomposition are toxic and irritating. Since TRICHLOROTRIFLUORO-ETHANE dissolves natural oils, prolonged contact with skin should be avoided. When necessaryuse gloves which the solvent cannot penetrate. If the solvent is taken internally, consult a air shall not be used for cleaning purposes except where reduced to less than 29 psiand then only with effective chip guarding and personnel protective equipment.

8 Do not use com-pressed air to dry parts when TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE has been used. Compressedair is dangerous and can cause serious bodily harm if protective means or methods are not observ-ed to prevent chip or particle (of whatever size) from being blown into the eyes or unbroken skin ofthe operator or other 11-5985-379-14&PTechnical ManualHEADQUARTERSDEPARTMENT OF THE ARMYNo. ll-5985-379-14 & PWashington, DC, 14 February 1986 OPERATOR S, ORGANIZATIONAL, DIRECT SUPPORTAND general support maintenance MANUALINCLUDING repair PARTS AND SPECIAL TOOLS LISTANTENNA AS-2259/GR (NSN 5985-00-106-6130) REPORTING ERRORS AND RECOMMENDING IMPROVEMENTSYou can help improve this manual.
