TM 10-3930-669-10 c. Operation in Extreme Dust or Sand. NOTE The  forklift  normally  operates  in  non-dusty  conditions  and  PMCS  instructions  are  designed  to handle these conditions.  However, in deserts, dust conditions are more extreme and certain checks and services must be made more often than normal. (1) Check air filter restriction indicator more often than normal to ensure air cleaner is not becoming clogged. (2) Check fuel/water separator frequently for dust and sand, and drain as necessary. (3) Watch all gauges in instrument panel more closely to ensure forklift is not affected by dusty conditions. (4) Park forklift so it does not face into wind. CAUTION Blowing dust and sand can scratch glass surfaces.  When the forklift is not being operated, glass surfaces must be covered for protection. (5) Cover instrument panel, vacuum gauge, air restriction indicator, hydraulic fluid oil level indicator, fuel tank fill cap, and spotlights when forklift is parked for extended periods of time in extremely dusty conditions. (6) Cover open space in fuel tank fill hole when adding fuel to tank. 2-13.  EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. If any emergency arises while operating the forklift, immediately stop any operation and shut off engine. 2-14.  NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL (NBC) DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES. a. If attack is known or suspected, mask at once and continue mission.  If inside forklift, stay there if possible. b. If outside, brush fallout from skin, clothing, and equipment with available brushes and rags before going inside. Wash skin and have a radiation check made as soon as tactical situation permits. c. Do not unmask until told to do so. d. Detailed DECON procedures can be found in FM 3-3, FM 3-4, and FM 3-5. 2-45/(2-46 blank)
