Operating Instructions (Cont)
2-6. GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
WARNING
Adhesives, solvents, and sealing compounds can burn easily, can give off harmful vapors,
and are harmful to skin and clothing. To avoid injury or death, keep away from open fire
and use in well-ventilated area. If adhesive, solvent, or sealing compound gets on skin or
clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
a. Cleanliness. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way and may cover up a serious problem.
Use drycleaning solvent (Appendix F, Item 18) on all metal surfaces.
b. 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 boltheads. If any part seems loose,
tighten it, or report it to Organizational Maintenance.
c. Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If a bad
weld is found, report it to Organizational Maintenance.
d. 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 condition. If a bad wire
or faulty connector is found, report it to Organizational Maintenance.
e. Hydraulic Lines and Fittings. Look for wear, damage, and leaks; make sure clamps and fittings
are tight. Wet spots show leaks. Stains around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. If a leak comes
from a loose fitting or connector, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, report it to
Organizational Maintenance.
f. Damage is defined as: Any conditions that affect safety or would render the vehicle unserviceable
for mission requirements.
