Exposure to air contaminated with carbon monoxide produces symptoms of head- ache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, apparent drowsiness, coma. Permanent brain damage or death can result from severe exposure. It occurs in the exhaust fumes of fuel-burning heaters and internal-combustion engines and becomes dangerously concentrated under conditions of inadequate ventilation. The following precautions must be observed to insure the safety of personnel whenever the personnel heater, main, or auxiliary engine of any vehicle is operated for maintenance purposes or tactical use. 1. DO NOT operate heater or engine of vehicle in an enclosed area unless it is ADEQUATELY VENTILATED. 2. DO NOT idle engine for long periods without maintaining ADEQUATE VENTI- LATION in personnel compartments. 3. DO NOT drive any vehicle with inspection plates, cover plates or engine com- pertment doors removed unless necessary for maintenance purposes. 4. BE ALERT at all times during vehicle operation for exhaust odors and exposure symptoms. If either is present, IMMEDIATELY VENTILATE personnel com- pertments. If symptoms persist, remove affected personnel from vehicle and treat as follows: expose to fresh air; keep warm; DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL EXERCISE: if necessary, administer artificial res- Piration. THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IS ADE- QUATE VENTILATION. This vehicle has been designed to operate safely and efficiently within the limits specified In this TM. Operation beyond these limits Is prohibited IAW AR 70-1 without written approval from the Commander, U.S. Army Tank-Automo- tlve Command, ATTN: AMSTA-CM-S, Warren, MI 48397-5000.

GENERAL 1-1. Purpose and Scope. This manual tells you how to operate and service any of five different trucks; the 6 x6, 10-ton truck tractors M123, M123C, M123A1C and M123E2 and the M125 cargo truck. 1f you have a problem that is not covered in this manual, ask your supervisor for help. 1-2. Maintenance Forms and Records. The maintenance forms and records needed for these vehicles are explained in TM 38-750. Section Il. DESCRIPTION AND DATA 1-3. Description. CAUTION: Your truck is bigger and heavier than most other trucks. Plan your route carefully before taking a trip. Think about road width, under- pass clearances, and bridge load limits. These trucks are designed to operate as towing vehicles or troop transporters. They can operate on all types of roads, highways, and over limited rough terrain. The terms left and right as used in this manual mean when seen from the driver's seat. The truck tractors are alike except for differences in engines, controls, and num- ber of winches. The M123 and M123C tractors have gasoline engines while Models M123A1C and M123E2 have diesel engines. The M123E2 and M123 tractors are equipped with dual rear winches whereas the M123C and M123A1C have single rear winches. Diesel engine equipped M123A1C and M123E2 tractors have primer pumps, pressure gages, and glow plugs, for starting the engines in cold weather. The gasoline powered tractors do not have such equipment. 1-1TM9-2320-206-10 All tractors have rotating beacons for use with the M747 trailer. Each tractor is equipped with a towing pintle, towing shackles, and air brake and electrical con- nections for towing other vehicles. The tractor cabs are the soft type. The M125 cargo truck is equipped with a 96 x 168 inch steel cargo body and is in- tended primarily for towing the 75mm anti-aircraft cannon, 155mm gun, or 8 inch howitzer. The gasoline engine powered M125 has a single front mounted winch. For towing, this truck has a pintle, draw bar, and trail clamp assembly. The truck has a soft type cab. The body is equipped with two benches, one full length and the other partial length. Protection against bad weather for troops and cargo is provided by a tarpaulin and end curtains. 14, Data.
