              01. THIS IS AMCCOM MAINTENANCE ADVISORY MESSAGE 90-20.
              2. FOR DESERT SHIELD OPERATIONS, HOT WATER CAUSES THE DECONTAMINANT
              USED WITH THE M12AI TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE: MAKE SURE YOUR M2 WATER
              HEATER WORKS.
              3. HOWEVER, IF YOUR M2 WATER HEATER IS DEADLINED TEMPORARILY, AS

              PERFORMING THE STEPS WHICH FOLLOW: (1) -AT STATION ONE, USE TWICE AS
              MUCH LIQUID DETERGENT THAN IS NORMAL BECAUSE OF COOLER WATER
              TEMPERATURES; (2) AT STATION TWO, SCRUB TWICE AS LONS TO ALLOW FOR
              MORE REACTION TIME BECAUSE OF COOLER EQUIPMENT SURFACES% (3) LIMIT
              DECONTAMINATING AGENT USAGE TO ONLY--REPEAT, ONLY--STS; (4) USE
              ANTISET COMPOUND, NSN 6e5O,OO,656,0926, BECAUSE OF COOLER WATER
              TEMPERATURES; (5) ONLY USE THE M12AI ABOVE 35 DEGREES% (6) BECAUSE
              OF MORE RAPID COOLING DURING NIGHT OPERATIONS, ALLOW 45 MINUTES FOR
              THE DECONTAMINANT TO REACT WITH THE CHEMICAL AGENT; (7) AT STATION
              FOUR, MORE WATER WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED TO REMOVE CONTAMINATION;
              WATER CONSERVATION IN THIS PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA CAN BE
              CRITICAL. KEEP THE M2 HEATERS WORKING!
