(4)
Hydraulic systems (other than brake systems) may have class III leakage and not be cause for deadlining.
Components, such as actuating cylinders, are designed to allow a certain amount of fluid to pass by the ram seal to
lubricate the seal and ram. This could be interpreted as a class III leak. The decision as to whether or not the truck
should be deadlined is based upon good mechanical knowledge and common sense.
(5)
Corrosion prevention and control (CPC). It is important that any corrosion problem with this truck be reported so
that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in other trucks. Corrosion
should be reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report (QDR). Use keywords such as
corrosion, rust, deterioration, or cracking to ensure that the information is identified as a CPC problem. Send Std Form
368 to Commander, U.S. Army TACOM, Attn: AMSTA-QRD, Warren, Ml 48397-5000.
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 of flame. Never smoke when using solvent; the flash point for
type I dry cleaning solvent is 100°F (380C) and for type II is 140°F (600C).
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.
b.
Cleanliness. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris can cover and hide serious problems. Use dry cleaning solvent on all
metal surfaces.
c.
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check bolts, nuts, and screws for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken
condition. Look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If any part seems loose, tighten.
d.
Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If bad welds are found,
notify direct support maintenance.
e.
Electric Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or broken
connectors. Tighten loose connectors and make sure wires are in good shape. If bad wires or connectors are found,
replace as necessary.
f.
Hydraulic Lines and Fittings. Look for wear, damage, and leaks and make sure clamps and fittings are tight.
Wet spots show leaks, and a stain around a connector or fitting can mean a leak. If a loose fitting or connector causes a
leak, tighten it.
g.
Damage is defined as: any conditions that affect safety or render the truck unusable for mission requirements.
h.
Always perform PMCS in the same order until it becomes a habit. Once practiced, it will be easy to spot anything
wrong.
