GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
2-11.
Lubrication.
Refer to LO 10–3930-643-12 for detailed,
illustrated
instructions on proper lubrication.
Some general practices to remember
include:
a. Use the correct lubricant.
b.
Keep lubricants clean.
c.
Clean all fittings prior to lubrication.
d.
Lubricate clean disassembled and new parts to prevent rust.
2-12.
Application of Adhesives.
Liquid gasket, silicone rubber adhesive
and
Loctite retaining and sealing compounds are recommended in some tasks to ensure
and strengthen seals.
The following procedures describe their correct use and
application:
a.
Liquid Gasket.
Can be used on machined surfaces (where no
gasket is
specified), ground joints and threaded connections.
It can also be used with
all types of gaskets.
Liquid gasket is heat and cold resistant, unaffected by
low pressure gases, gasoline, oil or other liquids, and prevents seizure.
TOXIC/FLAMMABLE
Liquid gasket is toxic and flammable.
Use only in
well ventilated
areas.
Avoid contact with eyes or skin.
If injured, seek medical
attention immediately.
Do not allow near open flame, heat or sparks.
Do not smoke when working with liquid gasket.
Liquid gasket is applied as follows:
(1) Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces. Surfaces must be free of
grease, paint, rust or any other foreign substance.
(2) Brush each mating surface with a thin, even coat of liquid gasket.
(3) Allow 10-20 minutes to dry until tacky. Temperature and humidity
will affect drying time.
Adhesive is right consistency when it will not
transfer to finger when touched.
(4) Press surfaces together.
Ensure full contact between surfaces. Do
not pull or pry either surface after mating.
