WELDING
WARNING
The following must be done before grinding, cutting, or welding any equipment that
has been Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC)-coated:
Wear protective equipment (e.g., eye protection, gloves, apron) when
grinding or sanding CARC-coated equipment. DO NOT leave any
skin exposed.
Use high-efficiency air purifying respirators when grinding or sanding
CARC-coated before welding.
Never weld or cut CARC-coated equipment; grind or sand off CARC paint
completely before welding.
Failure to comply may result in death or injury to personnel. Seek medical
attention in the event of an injury.
Unsafe welding practices can cause serious injury from fire, explosions, or harmful
agents. Allow only authorized personnel to weld or cut metals. Protective clothing,
eye protection, and respirator must be worn; adequate protective equipment used,
a suitable fire extinguisher kept nearby; and requirements of TC 9-237 strictly
followed. Failure to comply may result in death or injury to personnel. Seek
medical attention in the event of an injury.
CARC paint contains Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) which is highly irritating
to skin and respiratory system. High concentrations of HDI can produce symptoms
of itching and reddening of skin. A burning sensation in throat, and nose and
watering of the eyes. In extreme concentrations HDI can cause coughing,
shortness of breath, pain during respiration, increased sputum production, and
chest tightness. Failure to comply may result in death or injury to personnel. Seek
medical attention in the event of an injury.
CAUTION
If welding semitrailer, it must be uncoupled from towing vehicle. Failure to follow this
caution may damage electronic components. Failure to comply may result in damage to, or
destruction of, equipment or mission.
Refer to TC 9-237, Operator s Circular Welding Theory and Application, for instructions on
welding components.
