SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS - CONTINUED
Keep it Clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way and may cover up a serious problem.
Clean as you work and as needed. Use drycleaning solvent PD-680 to clean metal surfaces. Use soap
and water when cleaning rubber or plastic material.
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check that they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. You can't try them
all with a tool but look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around boltheads. Tighten any that you
find loose.
Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you find a
bad weld, report it to direct support maintenance.
Electric Wires and Connectors. Check for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or
broken connectors. Tighten loose connectors and make sure wires are in good condition.
Hoses and Lines. Look for wear, damage, and leaks. Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. If a leak
comes from a loose fitting or connector, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, either correct it
or report it to direct support maintenance (see the MAC).
