GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES CONTINUED
WARNING
Solvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and
low-toxic material. However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves
and goggles. Use in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from open flames and other
sources of ignition. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death.
CAUTION
Be especially careful when cleaning electrical system components including lighting.
Damage or impaired operation could result if this caution is not observed.
a. Keep Equipment Clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris get in the way and may cover up a serious problem.
Clean as you work and as needed. Use solvent cleaning compound (WP 0131, Item 4) on all metal
surfaces. Use detergent (WP 0131, Item 10) and water when you clean rubber, plastic, and painted
surfaces. Spot paint as required to prevent corrosion.
b. Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Ensure that they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. Report loose, missing,
or damaged bolts, nuts, and screws to your supervisor.
c. Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. Report bad welds to
your supervisor.
d. Electrical Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or broken
connectors. Report loose connections and faulty wiring to your supervisor.
