ome soldiers end up putting a lot more into their work than necessary—like pens,
loose hardware, tools, TMs, keys, and pocket change. They leave those items behind
in the engine compartment after pulling maintenance. And they end up with all kinds
of problems.
Electrical shorts, plugged drain holes,
torn cables, and punctured fuel cells are
just a few of the maintenance nightmares
created by leaving little stuff behind.
So, before you start a maintenance task,
empty your pockets of all the small items
that can cause headaches later. Carefully
note the tools you use and make sure you
take every one with you.
Then, when maintenance is Fnished,
do a thorough survey of the area. Did
you leave anything behind? Look for the
packaging material that the new parts
came in. And make sure you take away
all the old washers, screws and bolts that
were replaced.
