WARNING
Dry cleaning solvent used to clean parts is potentially dangerous to personnel
and property. Avoid repeated and prolonged contact. Do not use near open flame
or excessive heat. Flash point of solvent is 100° F-138°F (38°C-60°C).
a.
Keep it clean. Dirt, grease, oil, debris get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you
work and as needed. Use drycleaning solvent on all metal surfaces. Use soap and water to clean rubber or
plastic material.
b. Bolts. Nuts. and Screws. Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition. You
can’t try them all with a tool, but look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find one you
think is loose, tighten it, or report it to unit maintenance if you can’t tighten it.
c.
Fluid Lines. Look for wear, damage, and leaks. Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet spots and
stains around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose connector, tighten it, If
something is broken or worn out, report it to unit maintenance.
d.
Leakage Defintions. It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects the status of your equipment.
The following are definitions of the types/classes of leaks you need to know to be able to determine the status of
your equipment. Learn and be familiar with them. When in doubt, NOTIFY YOUR SUPERVISOR!
