Dry cleaning solvent PD-680 used to clean parts is potentially dangerous to personnel and
property. Avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact. Do not use near open flame or
excessive heat. Flash point of solvent is 100°F 138°F (38°C - 60°C).
a.
Keep it clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean as
you work and as needed. Use drycleaning solvent on all metal surfaces. Use soap and water to clean rubber or
plastic material.
b.
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition. You
cant try them all with a tool, but look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around boltheads. If you find one you
think is loose, tighten it, or report it to unit maintenance if you cant tighten it.
c.
Electrical Wires and Cable Connectors. Look for bare wires, and loose or broken connectors. Report
defects to unit maintenance.
d.
Fluid Lines. Look for wear, damage, and leaks. Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet spots and
stains around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose connector, tighten it. If
something is broken or worn out, report it to unit maintenance.
