Drycleaning solvent PD-680 is both toxic and flammable. Avoid prolonged breathing of
vapors, and avoid skin contact. Use only in well-ventilated area, and keep away from
open flame or excessive heat. Injury to personnel could occur.

away from user and other personnel in the area. To prevent injury, user must wear
protective goggles or face shield when using compressed air.

ELECTRICAL CABLES, FLEXIBLE HOSES, AND OIL SEALS
CAUTION
Washing oil seals, electrical cables, and flexible hoses with drycleaning solvents or
mineral spirits will cause serious damage or destroy the material.
NOTE
Wash electrical cables and flexible hose with water and mild soap solution, and wipe
dry. Oil seals are generally damaged during removal, so cleaning will not be neces-
sary since new seals will be used in assembly.
Refer to TM 9-214 for instructions and procedures covering care and maintenance of bearings.
