GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
INSPECTION OF COMPONENTS
1.
Clean all parts before inspection. Check for defects such as physical distortion, wear, cracks and pitting.
2.
Check all hose surfaces for broken or frayed fabric, breaks caused by sharp kinks or chafing against other parts of the
unit. Inspect metal tubing lines for kinks. Inspect fitting threads for damage. Replace any defective parts. Check for
leaks after assembly and during initial operation period.
3.
Visually inspect all castings and weldments for cracks.
4.
Inspect all wiring for chafed or burned insulation. Inspect all terminal connectors for loose connections and broken
parts.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
1.
For exterior cleaning of frame and structural components, use detergent (Item 5, WP 0029 00) in a solution as recom-
mended on the container. Leave application on surface for approximately 10 minutes before rinsing. Rinse with hot or
cold water under pressure. If available, use hot water under 80-120 lb (551-827 kPa) pressure. An ordinary garden hose
may be used if no other equipment is available. If pressurized water supply is not available, wash painted surfaces with
a solution of 1/4 cup soap (Item 17, WP 0029 00) to one gallon of water.

Cleaning compound, solvent MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxic mate-
rial. However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles. Use in well-ven-
tilated areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition.
NOTE
Do not use dielectric grease on electrical connectors.
2.
Electrical parts such as coils, connectors, switches and insulating wiring shall not be soaked or sprayed with cleaning
solutions. Clean these parts with a clean, dry cloth moistened with cleaning compound, solvent (Item 3, WP 0029 00).
REMOVAL OF COMPONENTS
1.
Ensure that adequate clearance is available for removal of component. Disassemble roller to extent necessary to provide
adequate working clearance.
2.
Remove parts only when service is required. Do not disassemble a component further than necessary to accomplish ser-
vice.
