WARNING • Do not press eyeguard except with eye area of face for operation of sight. Sight emits illumination which can be detected by enemy if eyeguard is used improperly. • Do not use sight without eyeguard attached or weapon recoi I may cause personal in• Jury. • When zeroing the sight to a loaded M72A 1 Rocket Laun cher (one that has never been fired) on a 25 meter range, be extremely careful to prevent accidental firing of the weapon . • The contents of the mercury batteries are extremely irritating to the eyes, oral , and nasal passages, therefore, be careful when discarding the batteries. To prevent exp losion, batteries should not be disposed of by burning. • Do not short circuit. • Do not recharge. A This PDF file created by Merriam Press.

Turn these batteries in to the Property Disposal Officer as stated above. Contact your unit safety officer for help with large quantities of bulged or burst batteries. LITHIUM BATTERIES (BA-5567) The lithium battery used in this equipment can be hazardous if misused or tampered with before, during, and after discharge. The following precautions must be strictly observed to prevent injury to personnel or damage to equipment. • DO NOT heat, incinerate, crush, puncture, dissemble, or otherwise mutilate the batteries. B This PDF file created by Merriam Press. Many more PDFs at merriam-press.com. • DO NOT short circuit. • DO NOT recharge. • DO NOT bypass internal fuse or replace with a fuse of a different rating. Replacement fuses are packed two per every ten batteries. • DO NOT store lithium batteries in unused equipment over 30 days. • TURN OFF the equipment immediately if you detect the battery compartment becoming unduly hot or rapidly increasing in temperature, hear battery venting (hissing sound), or smell irritating sulfur dioxide gas. Remove and dispose of the battery only after it is cool (30 - 60 minutes). • DO NOT use carbon dioxide extinguishers on exposed lithium metal fires. Flood the burning material with water or use graphite type compounds or extinguishers on burning lithium. • ALWAYS replace both lithium batteries at the same time. c This PDF file created by Merriam Press.

The Lithium battery has a black band around the top and bottom of the plastic s leeve. The Lithium batte ry may be disposed of only in a sanitary IandtiII. CORROSIVE CHEMICAL FI RST-AID e Immediately flush the eyes with water and continue to flush for 15 minutes if corrosive chemicals contact the eyes. The first few seconds after contact are critical. Immediately flushing the eyes may prevent permanent damage. An eyewash fountain is preferred , but an eyewash hose or any other source of water should be used in an emergency. Alkali (base) burns are usually more serious than acid burns. 0 This PDF file created by Merriam Press. Many more PDFs at merriam-press.com. • Strong chemicals burn the skin rapidly. There is o time to waste. Flush the area with water immediately. Remove and discard clothing , socks and shoes (obtain other clothes and shoes). Continue to flood the area while clothing is being removed. • Consult warnings on the product label for full first-aid information. Give the label information to the attending physician . Neutralizers and solvents (alcohol , etc.) should not be used by the first aider. The spread of skin absorbing corrosive poison , like phenol, can cause death. Don't depend on spilled chemicals to evaporate from your clothes . Exposure to skin can kill you . E (F blank) This PDF file created by Merriam Press.
