Cleaning/Inspection.
WARNING
Dry-cleaning solvent (P-D-680) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles and
gloves; use only in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes; and do
not breathe vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never smoke when using solvent; the
flashpoint for type I dry-cleaning solvent is 100°F (38°C) and for type II is 138°F (50°C).
Failure to do so may result in injury or death to personnel.
If personnel become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, immediately get fresh air and
medical help. If solvent contacts skin or clothes, flush with cold water. If solvent contacts
eyes, immediately flush eyes with water and get immediate medical attention.
(1)
Clean all components and flush cylinder barrel using dry-cleaning solvent only. Do not use cleaning cloth as
any foreign material would contaminate hydraulic system.
(2)
Inspect barrel bore for any scratches or corrosion. Replace barrel if rusted. Replace barrel and piston rod if
either component is scratched.
(3)
Inspect piston rod for bending. Replace if necessary.
(4)
Inspect piston rod for scratches or pitting. Remove minor scratches and pitting by using stone and
lubrication oil. Stone imperfection just enough to smooth raised part.
(5)
Inspect the cylinder ports and threads for burrs and stripped threads. Replace or repair as necessary.
(6)
Inspect thru-fastener threads for burrs and stripped threads. Replace or repair as necessary.
