WARNING

equipment. Tetrachloroethylene will only be used in areas where substantial
ventilation is available. Repeated or prolonged inhalation of the solvent vapors
can be detrimental to human health. In addition, avoid prolonged or repeated
contact of the solvent fluid with areas of the skin. Tetrachloroethylene must not be
taken internally.

If during the cleaning there exists a possibility that the substance to be removed
contains acid or some other equally destructive ingredient, the item will be
evacuated to intermediate maintenance activity for determination as to the nature
of the substance and item disposition. If the substance cannot be identified or if
normal repair procedures will not eliminate all traces of chemical or acid damage,
the applicable item will be condemned.
