CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS - CONTINUED
c. After cleaning, dry and cover (or lightly oil all parts subject to rust).
WARNING
Particles blown by compressed air are hazardous. Make certain the airstream is
directed away from user and other personnel in the area. To prevent injury, user must
wear safety eye goggles or face shield when using compressed air.
d. Blow out tapped (threaded) holes with compressed air to remove dirt and cleaning
fluids.
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
necessary since new seals will be used in assembly.
Refer to TM 9-214 for instructions and procedures covering care and maintenance of bearings.
