2-20. GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT).
WARNING
On direct contact, uncured silicon sealant irritates eyes. In case of contact, flush eyes with water and
seek medical attention. In case of skin contact, wipe off and flush with water.
g.
Silicone Sealant. Silicone sealant is often used instead of a gasket to seal mating parts. The mating parts must
be clean, dry, and free of oil or grease for proper adhesion. After silicon sealant has been applied, the mating parts must
be assembled immediately. Silicone sealant starts to set-up in 15 minutes and takes 24 hours to completely set. Excess
silicone sealant should be removed after assembling the mating parts.
h.
Gaskets. Remove all traces of previous gasket and sealant before installing new gasket.

Preparation. When unpacking items, remove all packing material, barrier paper, tape, plastic, plastic bags,

connections. Damage to equipment may result.
b.
Sealing Compounds. Use sealing compounds as required in each maintenance task.
c.
Torquing. Tighten screws as required in Appendix D or in each maintenance task.
