When you do your PMCS, you will always need a rag or two. Following are checks that are common to the
entire 4KRTFL:
WARNING
·
Dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 is toxic and flammable. Wear protective goggles and gloves and use only
in well ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes and dont breathe vapors. Do not use
near open flame or excessive heat. The flash point is 1000 F - 138° F (38° C - 50° C). If you become
dizzy while using cleaning solvent, get fresh air immediately and get medical aid. If contact with eyes is
made, wash your eyes with water and get medical aid immediately. Cleaning solvents evaporate quickly
and can irritate exposed skin if solvents contact skin. In cold weather, contact of exposed skin with
cleaning solvents can cause frostbite.
·
DO NOT use diesel fuel, gasoline, or benzene (benzol) for cleaning.
CAUTION
·
Keep cleaning solvents, gasoline, and lubricants away from rubber or soft plastic parts. They will
deteriorate material.
·
When cleaning the 4KRTFL with high pressure water, do not use direct pressure washing for the
backup alarm. Immersing the backup alarm in high pressure water can cause the alarm to fail.
(1) 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) on all metal surfaces. Use soap and water when you
clean rubber or plastic material. Upholstery can be cleaned with soap and water and a clean, damp cloth.
(2) Rust and Corrosion. Check 4RTFL body and mast for rust and corrosion. If any bare metal or corrosion
exists, clean, and apply a thin coat of oil. Report it to your supervisor.
(3) Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition. Look
for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find a loose bolt, nut, or screw, report it to your supervisor.
(4) Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you find a bad
weld, report it to your supervisor.
(5) Electric Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked, frayed, or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or
broken connectors. Report any damaged wires to your supervisor.
(6) Hoses and Fluid Lines. Look for wear, damage, leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet
spots show leaks, but a stain around a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose fitting or
connector, or if something is broken or worn out, report it to your supervisor.

When you check for "operating condition," you look at the component to see if its serviceable.

LEAKAGE DEFINITIONS FOR OPERATOR PMCS
It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects the status of the 4KRTFL. Following are types/classes of leakage
an operator needs to know to be able to determine the status of the 4KRTFL. Learn these leakage definitions and
remember - when in doubt, notify your supervisor.
