Cleaning.
WARNING
Dry cleaning solvent, A-A-711 Type I used to clean parts, is potentially dangerous to personnel
and property. Avoid repeated and prolonged skin contact by wearing rubber or nonporous
gloves when handling solvents or material, wet with dry cleaning solvent. Wash hands
immediately after exposure with soap and water and use a lanolin based skin cream to prevent
skin drying. Do not use near open flame or excessive heat. Do not work with solvent in a
closed room. Be sure there is good ventilation or the solvent vapors will build up in the air and
become a poisonous mixture which can cause physical injury or even death.
Clean all components removed with dry cleaning solvent and dry with a clean wiping rag.
For steps c through e refer to figure 4-10.
