TM 5-1940-277-10 TM 1940-10/1 Change 3 a SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH may result if personnel fail to observe the following safety precautions. Batteries give off explosive hydrogen gas. Be careful making connections. Do not smoke when servicing the battery. Be sure the master battery switch is off before disconnecting or connecting battery cables. Always disconnect the ground cable first and connect it last. Make sure the POS (+) and NEG (-) connections are correct. Do not ground the positive terminal of batteries to boat structure. Do not operate engines in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation as carbon monoxide, an invisible poisonous gas, is generated. Symptoms of exposure to carbon monoxide are headache, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of muscular control and coma. Severe exposure can cause permanent brain damage. Wear life preservers (work vest) at all times when aboard the boat.
