or injury to personnel. This section contains systematic instructions on inspections, adjustments,

and corrections to be performed by the operator/crew.

While performing PMCS, read and follow all safety instructions in the warning summary at the front

of this manual. Keep in mind all warnings and cautions throughout PMCS.

and Maintenance Worksheet, or an electronic DA Form 5988E, if available, immediately after

WARNING

Dry cleaning solvent is toxic and flammable. Always wear protective

goggles and gloves, and use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact

with skin, eyes, and clothes, and DO NOT breathe vapors. DO NOT use

near open flame or excessive heat. The solvent's flash point is

100F-138F (38C-59C). If you become dizzy while using cleaning solvent,

immediately get fresh air and medical help. If solvent contacts eyes,

immediately wash your eyes and get medical aid.

1. Keep equipment clean. Dirt, oil, and debris may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you work and

as needed. Use dry cleaning solvent (WP 0086 00-3) on all metal surfaces. Use soap and water on rubber,

plastic, and painted surfaces.
