Oil passages. Particular attention must be given to all oil passages in castings and machined parts. Oil passages must be

clean and free to any obstructions.

Clean passages with wire probes to break up any sludge or gum deposits.

Wash passages by flushing with solvents (TM 9-247).

Dry passages with compressed air.

Oil seals, electrical cables and flexible hoses.

CAUTION

Washing oil seals, electrical cables and flexible hoses with dry cleaning solvents or mineral spirits will cause

serious damage or destroy the material.

Wash electrical cables and flexible hose with water and mild soap solution and wipe dry.

Oil seals are generally damaged during removal, so cleaning will not be necessary since new seals will be used in

assembly.
