WARNING
Operation of the 613CWD Water Distributor must comply with applicable regulations of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Protection of Environment, of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). Failure to comply with EPA regulations may endanger the lives of personnel operating
or working near the water distributor or may harm the environment. For further information contact the
EPA online at http://www.epa.gov or write to: Environmental Protection Agency, Ariel Rios Building,

This machine has been designed to operate safely and efficiently within the limits specified in this TM.
Operation beyond these limits is prohibited in accordance with AR 70-1 without written approval from:
Commander, U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, ATTN: AMSTA-DSA-CS, War-
ren, MI 48397-5000.
Hearing protection is required when operating machine or when within 23 feet of machine when it is
operating. Failure to wear hearing protection may result in hearing loss.
DO NOT operate machine at speeds greater than 18 mph (29 kph), in all weather and road conditions
and fully loaded. Maximum operating time at 18 mph (29 kph) is 7 hours within a 24-hour period. Fail-
ure to follow this warning may cause external or internal injury due to excessive whole-body vibration.
DO NOT enter water tank. Tank interior is a confined space and therefore hazardous to enter. If tank
entry becomes absolutely necessary, contact your local safety office and obtain a confined space entry
permit. Requirements of 29 CFR 1910.145(d)(2)(reference17), as well as any local requirements, must
be followed. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death due to oxygen deprivation.
NEVER drink water from water distributor tank. Water contained or dispensed from tank is NON-
POTABLE. Drinking non-potable water could result in injury or death.
