WARNING
Drycleaning solvent PD-680 is both toxic and flammable. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors
and avoid skin contact. Do not use near open flame or excessive heat. Flash point of solvent is

Clean inner and outer surfaces with drycleaning solvent.
Remove grease and accumulated deposits with a stiff bristle brush.
Check machined surfaces for scoring or obvious damage.
WARNING
Particles blown by compressed air are hazardous. Make certain the airstream is directed away
from user and other personnel in the area. User must wear safety goggles or face shield to
prevent injury when using compressed air.
Blow out all threaded holes with compressed air to remove dirt and cleaning fluids.
ELECTRICAL CABLES, FLEXIBLE HOSES, AND OIL SEALS
CAUTION
Washing electrical cables and flexible hoses with drycleaning solvents or mineral sprits will cause
serious damage or destroy the material.
Wash electrical and flexible hoses with soap and water solution and wipe dry.
Oil seals are generally damaged during removal and new ones are installed, therefore cleaning will not be necessary.
Refer to TM 9-214 for instructions and procedures covering care and maintenance of antifriction bearings.
