3. HEATER PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONS

The MFX Model 2705 water heater actually contains 4 separate subsystems which work
together to provide warm water for showering, equipment cleaning, deicing, and hazardous
material decontamination, etc. The four subsystems are: Fuel system, combustion air system,
hot water tank system, and water mixing system.
A. FUEL SYSTEM: The fuel system draws fuel from the fuel can, via the fuel cap adapter,
through a fuel filter and into the fuel pump. From there it is pumped into the heater
combustion chamber where it is combined with air and ignited to produce heat. The
combustion chamber is surrounded by water cavity where heat is absorbed by the water.
B. COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM: The combustion air system draws air into the heater via a
combustion fan which pulls air in through an air inlet located inside the case. Once inside
the combustion chamber the air combines with fuel and is ignited. The products of
combustion exit the combustion chamber via an exhaust tube, which leads to the muffler.
From the muffler the exhaust is released to the atmosphere.
C. HOT WATER TANK SYSTEM: The hot water tank system consists of
three components, circulating pump, water tank, and heat exchanger. When the heater is
operating, the circulating pump continuously draws water from the tank (which holds about
2 gallons) and pushes it through the heat exchanger and back into the water tank. The
heater unit tries to maintain a constant tank temperature of 194F. Once the tank temp.
reaches 176F, the unit automatically reduces heat output to ¼ maximum. If the water
temp. continues to increase (because of lack of demand for the heat) and reaches 194F the
heater will automatically shut down the flame and the heater goes into standby status. In
standby status, the circulating pump continues to run. When the temp. falls below 167F the
flame automatically re-ignites to raise the temperature. A flow switch has been installed in
the water system to make sure that there is water flowing through the heat exchanger any
time the fuel pump is operating. If water stops flowing, the heater will automatically shut
down.
D. WATER MIXING SYSTEM: The water mixing system consists of two components, a water
mixing valve and a pump. The pump pulls both cold water from the water inlet and hot
water from the hot water tank through the mixing valve and pushes it out to the
showerheads. As hot water is drawn from the tank, the tank is automatically refilled with
cold water, which is continuously heated. The water-mixing valve is designed to monitor
the outgoing water temp. and adjust the amounts of hot and cold water added to the
mixture to produce outgoing water at a constant preset temperature.
NOTE! FOR BEST PERFORMANCE IT’S RECOMMENDED THAT THE WATER SUPPLY BE AT THE
ELEVATION OF THE HEATER OR ABOVE.
 7

4. REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION

The three requirements that must be met before the unit can be operated are fuel, electrical
power, and water.
A. FUEL
The heater can burn both diesel and JP-8 fuels. A Fuel cap adapter is supplied with the system for
use with the new plastic 5-gallon fuel can per MIL-C-53109. For use simply place fuel line in fuel
can and screw on adapter cap loosely. Next insert quick connect fitting into the coupler on the face
of the unit marked “Fuel”. For venting, the fuel cap adapter should not be screwed tightly during
operation. A five-gallon fuel can holds enough fuel for approximately 20 hours of continuous
operation in high mode. It is not necessary to drain the fuel cap adapter between uses. Draining
the fuel cap adapter will create an air bubble in the fuel system and the heater will shut down until
the fuel pump re-primes the fuel system.

NOTE! To prevent fuel from overheating, keep the fuel can in a shaded area whenever possible.
B. ELECTRIC POWER
The Model 2710 operates on a 24 volt DC electrical system. A specially designed lightweight (15
AMP) power cable is provided to draw power from any NATO standard slave cable receptacle. DO
NOT USE CABLE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE OTHER THAN FOR THIS UNIT!!! (Such as jump-
starting other vehicles).
C. WATER SUPPLY
Although the heater was designed to use water from any source, a tank, a stream, or pressurized
water source up to 60 psi etc., use only army medical department (AMEDD) approved potable
water.
5. HEATER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Close heater drain valve.
2. Remove tank cap by pushing down on cap while twisting.
3. Completely fill tank with water.
4. Replace cap on tank.
5. Connect inlet water supply to heater. It is best to have the supply tank at or above the level of the
heater.
6. Connect water outlet from heater to shower shelter.
7. Connect electrical supply (24V) and fuel supply to heater. Be sure fuel tank is vented.
8. Turn pump switch to “ON”.
9. Push button on each showerhead to let water flow. Hold button until only water is flowing. –No air.
10. Turn pump “OFF”
11. Remove tank cap and refill water level to top again. Replace cap.
12. Turn heater switch to “START” position hold for five seconds and switch to “RUN” position. DO
NOT leave switch in “START” position for more than 30 seconds!!
13. Allow water in tank to heat until the heater cycles down to a lower output. This will be evident by a
change in sound.
14. Turn shower pump switch “ON”. Shower is ready for use.
15. Under certain operation conditions it is possible for the heater tank to empty for a few seconds,
which will interrupt water flow to the showerhead. This is normal and the tank will automatically
refill and resume service.
16. After use, turn pump switch and heater switch to the “OFF” position. The heater blower will
continue to run for 90 seconds. DO NOT turn the main power (emergency use only) off, as this will
abort the cooling cycle.
17. Drain the tank by opening the drain valve and then the tank cap. Make sure the rubber seal on the
bottom of the tank cap stays in place on its retaining barb.
18. Disconnect hose from water supply. Leave hoses connected to the face of the heater.
19. Turn the pump switch on.
20. Reach into each shower stall and push the showerhead button until all water has drained and only
air comes from the head.
21. Turn pump “OFF” and disconnect power cable from the heater and power source and store in the
accessory tray.
22. Disconnect water hoses, drain and store in accessory tray.
23. Disconnect fuel line from heater. Remove cap from fuel can. Wipe fuel off hose and store in
accessory tray.
24. ALWAYS DRAIN THE WATER HEATER WHEN NOT IN USE!!!
 8

6. HEATER STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

1. After use, the heater must be drained (see instructions above). Also make sure before storing the
heater that the pump has been run with hoses connected to the heater such that the pump has
pumped all water from it and has pumped air only for at least 10 seconds. This assures that the
pump head contains no water. It is a good idea to rotate the unit at various angles with the drain
valve open to assure that all water has been drained. Do not allow water to freeze inside the unit or
major damage will occur!!!
2. Wipe down heater and accessories with damp cloth and store accessories in tray. Attach tray to unit
using the four clips attached.
3. Replace all dust caps and plugs on the face of the heater and if possible store in a dry place.

***IN ORDER TO PREVENT SCALE BUILD UP INSIDE THE HEATER, ALWAYS DRAIN THE HEATER
COMPLETELY WHEN NOT IN USE!!!

7. ERECTING THE SHOWER SHELTER

1. Choose an area that is at least 15’x10’ which is clear of all sharp objects and has a slight slope for
drainage of the shower pans. An 8’ clearance height is required. The 15’ dimension should be
across (perpendicular to) the slope.
2. The shower shelter is packed in 2 bags. One contains the tent, support structure, and floor.
The other contains the shower pans, floor mats; drain hoses, stakes, patch kit and air pump.
Locate bag containing the rolled up tent and remove tent from the bag.
3. Unfold the tent and position it in the chosen area making sure that the arrows on the edge of the
floor point downhill for shower drainage.
4. Make sure door zippers are at least partially open.
5. Locate the zippered slot at the corner marked “INFLATE”. Open the zipper to reveal the air
inflation/deflation valve on the dark gray tube.
6. Remove the dust cover from the valve and turn the stem in the center of the valve counter
clockwise until tight. Go to the opposite leg (diagonally) and repeat step 6.
7. Secure the air pump and air fill hose located in the shower pan bag.
8. Make sure that the air fill hose is connected to the discharge port (top port on the handle) on the air
pump, and insert the hose end into the inflation/deflation valve, and rotate a quarter turn clockwise
to lock in place.
9. Using the manual air pump, inflate the tent. This should take from 6 to 8 minutes. (Note: Once the
tubes are firm lift up on the center of the structure and assist it upright into place.) The shelter is
equipped with a pressure relief valve. This small valve is located directly above the air
inflation/deflation valve. If the air is escaping from this relief valve discontinue inflating, the tubes
are full.
10. Remove the air pump from the valve and replace the dust cover. Go inside the tent and store pump
on the inflation/deflation leg using the straps provided.
11. Adjust cover and tube feet as needed to position the structure in full upright position.
12. Open the shower pan bag and remove: 7 sections of matting, 4 shower pans, 1 shower curtain and
drain hoses.
13. Install the shower curtain and 4 shower pans inside tent. Make sure to follow corresponding color
codes on quick connect buckles. White buckles snap to white buckles and black buckles to black
buckles. Shower stalls on one side have 2 white buckles and shower stalls on the other side have
4 white buckles.
14. Install black drain hose into black drainage tubes protruding from the rear of shower stall pans.
15. Locate two flaps (one on each side of the door) along the downhill edge of shelter where cover
meets the floor. Fold down flap and run drainage hoses through flap making sure the drain tubes
protruding from underneath the cover are not kinked or obstructed in any way and are pointing
down hill.
16. Connect both drain hoses to the short Y-adapter piece if a single drainage line is desired.
17. Place one 2’x2’ square of matting in each shower stall. Place the remaining three pieces down the
center aisle of the tent where needed.
18. Locate the tent stakes stored in the shower pan bag. Install in position to anchor the four tie down
ropes located at the corners of the shelter cover. Install remaining stakes in the grommet loops
located along the base of the shelter.
 9

19. Open the skylights and vents as needed.

20. For ventilation, the zippered door openings on all sides can be folded inward and held by Velcro
fasteners.

21. For night uses, each shower stall has an elastic band sewn inside the shower approximately 65” off
the floor for hanging a flashlight or a chemical light stick.
22. For storage, the accessory tray and one bag can be put in the other bag and stored behind the
shower stalls.

8. STRIKING AND STORAGE OF THE SHOWER SHELTER

A. The shower shelter internal water supply hoses must be drained before storage of the shelter. If
the internal supply hoses have not been drained, follow steps 16 thru 23 in section 5 above.
B. Clean and dry the tent.
C. Remove drain hoses, matting, 4 shower pans and one shower curtain and pack neatly inside a
storage bag.
**NOTE: In order to keep both bags under the 75lb. Weight limit, make sure to remove ONE
shower curtain, which weighs 3 lbs. and pack in the bag with the shower pans.
D. Remove air pump and air hose from storage straps and store in the shower pan bag.
E. Remove all tent stakes, clean and store in the tent stake bag located in the shower pan bag.
F. Open both deflation valves by removing dust cap and pushing in on the stem in the center of the
valve while turning clockwise until valve locks in the open position.
G. Unzip shelter doors to allow any air remaining inside the tent to escape. *Note: Avoid walking on
the tent.
H. Fold cover toward the center of the tent so Velcro strips located where the tent cover attaches to the
floor can be seen all the way around.
I. Begin folding the tent from the arrow end (8’ wide). Start with a 2’ wide fold and continue folding
until you reach the opposite side of floor. After each fold press as much air from tent as possible.
An eight-foot section of tent approx. 36” wide should remain. Fold this section into thirds.

9. OPERATING THE SPARY WAND

A. Make sure pump switch is in the “OFF” position.
B. Attach spray wand to the quick connect fitting on the end of the water discharge hose.
C. Turn pump switch to the “ON” position.

10. CLEANING PROCEDURES

A. Shower Shelter
1. Cover: The cover can be cleaned with mild soap and water combination. Brush large
clumps of dirt from cover while dry. Completely wet the area to be cleaned, the using a
SOFT brush or rag, brush on soap and water solution and rinse with fresh water. Allow to air
dry before storage.
2. Airframe: The airframe can also be cleaned with soap and water. See above procedure. It
may be easier to clean the airframe with the shelter cover removed.
****NOTE: Do NOT use soap to clean areas to be patched. This area should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol or mild solvent.
3. Floor: To clean the floor, first remove the shelter cover and airframe if desired. Sweep any
large clumps of dirt from the floor. Spray or mop with mild soap and water solution with
commercial disinfectant cleanser such as Lysol or Dow bathroom disinfectant. Rinse with
fresh water and allow to air dry.
4. Shower Pans and Matting: The shower pans and matting can be cleaned using the same
procedure as the floor. Matting may require using the brush and spray gun provided and a
more concentrated cleaner/disinfectant.
****NOTE: Before using ANY cleaner always test a small area of all three fabrics, and check for
adverse reactions before use!!!
 10

B. Heater
1. Heater and Accessories: The heater and all accessories can be cleaned with a soap and
water solution or mild detergent. Using a soft rag, wipe off all exterior surfaces of the heater
and accessories. Rinse with fresh water and wipe dry.
2. De-Scaling the Heater: The internal heater and tank should be de-scaled at least once a
year or more often under heavy usage or poor water quality. The worst condition for scale
buildup inside the heater occurs when water is left to stand inside the heater. Always drain
the heater when not in use. Instructions for de-scaling the heater follow.
a. Set up the heater as detailed previously in the owner’s manual. Make sure to use
fresh water to fill the heater tank.
b. In a bucket, thoroughly mix two gallons cold water and 4lbs. de-liming solution.
c. Place the inlet and outlet hoses in the bucket.
d. Switch the pump to the “ON” position. Switch the heater switch to the “START”
position. DO NOT switch the heater to “RUN”. The water should remain cold. Do
not heat.
e. While occasionally stirring, allow the de-liming solution to circulate for one hour.
f. Drain the heater and flush THOROUGHLY with fresh water.
g. Drain the heater and clean the inlet strainer before use or storage.
The recommended de-scaling material is “Koil Kleen” available in 8lb jars from U.S. Thermal (513-777-
7763)

Koil Kleen can be extremely irritating to the eyes upon direct contact. Skin contact may cause burns. It is
harmful if swallowed. In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, drink 2 large
glasses of water and consult a physician. Refer to material safety data sheet for disposal and other
information.

11. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

A. Heater: The internal heater needs to be disassembled and cleaned once a year under normal
operation. To do this (refer to diagrams on pg 21 and 24)
1. Remove the top and rear case panels and hot water tank.
2. Open black plastic panel on the control unit and unplug heater-wiring harness.
3. Remove hose between heater circulating pump and brass assembly at the brass assembly.
Unbolt muffler from case.
4. Using an Allen wrench remove one bolt on circulating pump. Next rotate pump forward for
access to the mounting bolts.
5. Remove heater mounting bolts and remove heater from case.
6. Using a large Phillips screwdriver remove clamp around center of the heater body.
7. Pull heater apart to expose the burner element and combustion chamber. Using a soft bristle
brush remove any carbon from the burner and heat exchanger. Visually inspect both the
heater and burner element for damage.
8. Re-assemble the heater by performing steps 8 thru 1 in reverse order.
B. Strainers: Three different strainers need to be checked and cleaned periodically.
1. An inline strainer is located in the inlet water line. Unscrew the end and remove the plastic
strainer insert. Flush screen and replace. Use caution when reinstalling the insert. If installed
in the wrong direction, the strainer will not reassemble properly and water flow may be
disrupted.
2. The tank fill strainer located in the tank fill neck should be cleaned and free of all foreign
material.
3. The showerhead strainers are located in the fittings at the end of the black showerhead hoses.
Remove the strainers clean and replace. This item need only be performed if the strainer
becomes clogged.
C. Fuel Filter: The fuel filter should be replaced at each yearly inspection or as needed. The fuel filter
is located in a clip inside the case door and is readily accessible.
D. Temperature Control Valve: The temperature control valve should be disassembled and cleaned at
each yearly inspection. Since foreign particles will affect the operation of this valve, it is important
that both incoming water strainers are kept in place and in good condition.
E. Dust Plugs: Always keep dust plugs and caps on the quick connect fittings and electric receptacles
whenever hoses and power cord are not in use.
 11

F. Lubrication: The O-rings on the quick connect fittings should be routinely lubricated with Vaseline
or vegetable oil to maintain proper operation. In addition, the brass pressure reducer located at the
end of the inlet hose should also be routinely lubricated with a few drops of vegetable oil.
G. General Inspection: A general inspection should be given to hoses, fittings, and cable before each
day’s operation. Also, open the door and inspect the interior of the unit for any leaks or other
problems.

12. TROUBLE SHOOTING

A. A fuse has blown.
1. Look inside heater unit for shorts or frayed wires.
2. Replace blown fuses with properly rated fuses.
B. The red fault indicator light begins flashing. – The fault indicator light on the face of the heater
indicates the kind of fault by means of a Blinking Code during the purge cycle of the heater. After
the short rapid blinks the long slow blinks are counted. Make sure to count the first long blink
immediately after the short rapid blinks!

*Note *** After 3 consecutive attempts, of any one of the fault indicators
listed below, the heater and control unit are locked out with no
further start attempts possible!
After eliminating the cause of the heater fault lock out, turn the main
power switch off, wait 5 seconds and re-start.***

2. Check electrical connections at the heater and power source.
3. A fuse is blown in the heater fuse box. Replace fuse and retry.
4. Main power switch or heater power switch is defective.
5. The heater control unit is defective.
F. The heater attempts to start but does not fire off.
1. The fuel line and fuel filter are not primed with fuel. Attempt a restart. Depending on the
distance to the fuel source, it may take several start attempts to prime the empty fuel line.
Visually watch for fuel in the fuel filter.
2. The fuel can is not vented; therefore the fuel pump cannot draw fuel from the can. Vent the
fuel can by loosening the fuel cap adapter.
3. The fuel line is leaking air. Stop the air leak. Check clamps and O-rings on quick connect
fittings.
4. The fuel filter is clogged. Replace.

G. The shower pump keeps running even through the showerhead buttons are not depressed.
1. Air is in the shower lines. Push the showerhead buttons until all air is purged from the
lines.
2. A showerhead is leaking. Pop off showerhead button with a flat tip screwdriver and remove
valve with an 11/16th sock. Replace rubber washer and seat. Reassemble.
3. Defective pressure-switch on the pump. Replace pump.
H. A particular showerhead does not have as much flow as the others.
1. The strainer at the brass connection of the showerhead hose to the shower tubing is fouled.
Remove strainer and flush with fresh water. Replace.

I. The following explains visual inspection for assessment of the burner condition. The burner and
evaporator have specific features indicating their need for replacement or their serviceable
condition. The following describes the criteria for a correct inspection. See section 14 for
assembly procedures.

1.1 Burner Housing – The starting air bore (Fig. 506) must not be clogged, otherwise there will
be no start. To correct this clogged condition; first remove the glow plug. Then, carefully
remove any contamination (e.g. with a wire of 1.5mm diameter).
1.2 Rear Wall with Metal Evaporator – The pilot flame exit bore (Fig. 503) must not be clogged
or there will be no start. The repair is to replace the burner. If the evaporator is missing in
the vicinity of the pilot flame exit bore (Fig. 504) in one or several of the locations shown,
there will be no start. The repair is to replace the burner. Cracks, delaminations, as well as
black or other discolorations of the evaporator do not cause a burner failure and are
meaningless. A lack of evaporator in the area shown (Fig. 503) does not cause a burner
failure. This area burns off approx. 300 to 400 operating hours. If only half of the
evaporator is left (Fig. 505), the replacement of the burner is recommended but is not
compulsory. Coke deposits on the evaporator surface (except for the pilot flame exit bore)
are normal and must not be removed (e.g. by scraping). When the load changes from full
to part load and vice versa the burner normally is self-cleaning.
1.3 Combustion Chamber – The combustion chamber (Fig. 506) should not be damaged (e.g.
dented). A combustion chamber with dents may cause insufficient combustion or coking of
the heater. To repair, replace the burner. The air bores (Fig. 506) in the combustion
chamber must not be coked. Coked air bores may cause a no-start or insufficient
combustion. To repair remove coke deposits by careful scraping.
1.4 Burner Assembly – The cables of the glow plug and flame sensor must be routed as shown
in Fig. 502. The threaded connection of the housing and combustion chamber must be
secure (Fig. 506). The housing and combustion chamber (Fig. 506) must be connected
securely without any play (check by slight movement of the fuel pipe.). The O-ring must
have a tight fit around the fuel chamber upper edge (Fig. 506) and must seal completely.
The gap between the housing edge and combustion chamber upper edge (Fig. 506) is not
required to be equal around the entire circumference. The insulation (Fig. 502) must be in
place.

J: The following are component tests, which can be preformed. During electrical testing of the
temperature sensor using a digital multimeter the following readings should be obtained:
1.1 Temperature Sensor Resistance Check – Resistance at 77F – 990 to 1010 ohms. Test
current less than 1 ma.
1.2 Glow Plug resistance test – Resistance at 77 F – 1.3 to 1.44 ohms. Test current less than
5 ma.
1.3 Flame sensor resistance test – Cold test: resistance at 77 F – 2.6 to 3.4 ohms, tests current
less than 5 ma.

13. Repair – Shower Shelter

A. Shower Shelter:
1. Air Frame:
a. If an air leak is discovered and the shelter is needed, a temporary repair can
usually be accomplished with the use of duct tape. Where possible, wrap the tape
completely around the tube while it is inflated. There is less than 2 pounds per
square inch pressure in the tubes when inflated.
b. When time allows, a permanent repair can be made by deflating the airframe and
following the instructions below.
2. Shelter Cover:
a. When patching the shelter cover always cover from the inside of the shelter. Make
sure to apply glue to rubber-coated side of cover and patch. Adhesive will not
adhere to fabric side of the material or the patch.
3. Floor: Use the patch kit instructions on page 17 to make repairs on the floor.

4. Patching Instructions:
a. Locate the puncture and make sure the area around the puncture is clean and free
from dirt and oil. Use rubbing alcohol or mild solvent to remove dirt and oil.
b. Select an appropriate patch from the patch kit. The patch should be clean and free
from dirt and oil.
c. Apply even coat of adhesive to both surfaces. Allow drying for at least 15 to 20
minutes, but no longer.
d. Place patch over the punctured area and smooth with the rolling tool provided.
Remove any air bubbles under the patch.
e. Let the repair cure at least one hour, and preferably over night. The bond will
strengthen as it cures.
****Note: Adhesive bonds tightly on contact. Parts cannot be shifted after joining.

Section 3 – Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview: DANGER! Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Vapor harmful. Vapors
may cause flash fire or explosion. Aspiration hazard if swallowed – can enter lungs and cause
damage. Harmful if inhaled.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE –
EYE CONTACT: May cause eye irritation.
SKIN CONTACT: May irritate skin. Prolonged or repeated contact will result in defatting and drying
of the skin, which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash).
INHALATION: Vapor harmful if inhaled. Vapor may irritate nose and upper respiratory tract. Vapor
inhalation may affect the brain and nervous system causing dizziness, headache or nausea.
INGESTION: Aspiration of the material into the lungs due to vomiting can cause chemical
pneumonitis, which can be fatal. If ingested, this product may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and
depressed respiration.
 26

CHRONIC HAZARDS: Reports have associated permanent brain and nervous system damage
with prolonged and repeated occupational overexposure to solvents. Overexposure or misuse of
Toluene can cause liver, kidney, and brain damage as well as cardiac abnormalities. Hexane
exposure can cause nerve damage to arms and legs, which may be permanent. Symptoms
include: loss of memory, loss of intellectual ability, and loss of coordination.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY CONTACT: None known.
PRIMARY ROUTE (S) OF ENTRY: SKIN CONTACT, INHALATION

Section 4 – First Aid Measures

EYE CONTACT: Flush with large quantities of water until irritation subsides.
SKIN CONTACT: Wash with soap and water.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen.
INGESTION: Do not induce Vomiting.

Comments: Call medical in Section 1 if irritation or complication arise from any of the above routes
of exposure.

Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: - 50 F Lower Explosive Limit:: N.A.

(SETAFLASH CLOSED CUP) Upper Explosive Limit:: N.A.

AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: N.E.

EXTINGUISING MEDIA: CO2 DRY Chemical Foam
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Extremely Flammables. Material will readily ignite at room
temperature. Vapors may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel back to a source of
ignition and flashback. Containers may explode if exposed to extreme heat. Eliminate sources of
heat ignition: heat, electrical equipment, sparks, and flames. Do not allow contact with oxidizing or
caustic materials.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES – Full protective equipment, including self-contained

breathing apparatus, is recommended to protect from combustion products. Cool exposed
container with water.
