PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES.-Continued
8.
While performing PMCS,
observe WARNINGS and CAUTIONS preceding those oper-
ations which could endanger your safety or result in damage to the equipment.
Dry cleaning solvent,
P-D-680, is toxic and flammable.
Wear protective goggles and gloves and use only in well-
ventilated area.
Avoid allowing solvent to contact
skin,
eyes, and clothes,
and dont breathe vapors. Do
not use near open flame or excessive heat.
If you
become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, get fresh air
immediately and get medical aid.
If solvent comes in
contact with skin or clothing,
wash with water.
If
solvent gets in your eyes, flush eyes with water and get
medical aid immediately.
Flash point of solvent is
100°-1380F
(38°-590c).
a.
Keep it clean.
Dirt, grease, oil and debris only get in the way and may
cover up a serious problem.
Clean as you work and as needed. Use dry cleaning
solvent (P-D-680) to clean metal surfaces.
Use soap and water when you clean
rubber or plastic material.
b.
Bolts, nuts, and screws.
Check that they are not loose, missing, bent
or broken.
Y OU can't try them all with a tool, of course, but look for chipped
paint, bare metal or rust around bolt heads.
Tighten any bolt, nut, or screw
that you find loose.
c. Welds.
Look for loose or chipped paint,
rust, or gaps where parts are
welded together.
If you find a bad weld,
report it to organizational
maintenance.
d.
Electric wires and connectors.
Look for cracked or broken insulation,
bare wires and loose or broken connectors.
Report damaged or loose wiring to
organizational
maintenance.
e.
Hoses and fluid lines.
Look for wear, damage and leaks.
Make sure
clamps and fittings are tight.
Wet spots show leaks, of course, but a stain
around a fitting or connector can mean a leak.
If leakage comes from a loose
fitting or connector, tighten the fitting or connector. If something is broken
or worn out,
report it to organizational maintenance.
f.
Vehicle must be on level ground in order to get correct fluid level
measurement.
9.
It is necessary for you to know how fluid leaks affect the status of your
equipment.
The following are definitions of the types/classes of leakage you
need to know to be able to determine the status of your equipment.
Learn and
be familiar with them and REMEMBER - when in doubt, notify your supervisor.
