General.    Field  maintenance  support  for  the  fire  extinguisher  will  be  minimal  because  the  fire  extinguisher  is simple in design, rugged in construction, and is not in continuous operation.  Field maintenance support will be required only to repair the components for which adequate tools, facilities and test equipment are not available at organizational maintenance level. b. Scope.    Field  maintenance  support  includes  third  and  fourth  echelons  of  maintenance  and  will  generally  be limited   to   repair   and   overhaul   of   fire   extinguisher   components.      This   will   include   cleaning,   testing,   disassembly, assembly, and adjustment of components. A 3-30.  CLEANING, INSPECTION, AND REPAIR. a. Cleaning Instructions.  This paragraph contains instructions relating to suitable materials and cleaning methods for cleaning component parts.

CAUTION Do  not  allow  dry  cleaning  solvent,  Federal  Specification  P-D-680  to  come  in  contact  with electrical components. WARNING Use  normal  precautions  when  cleaning  with  compressed  air  to  prevent  injury  to  personnel. Compressed  air  for  cleaning  purposes  will  not  exceed  30  psi.    User  should  wear  safety goggles, and should not direct the stream of air toward himself or other persons.
