NOTE
MIL-PRF-680 Type II and IV degreasing solvents shall be used as
degreasers and cleaners for painted and unpainted metal parts. These
two approved types of solvents are hydrocarbon-based, low-odor, and
recyclable. In addition Type II and IV have a high flash point and are
not defined as a flammable material. Type Iv solvent contains citrus
odor and has a stronger solvency than Type II solvent. Used
MIL-PRF-680 solvent should not be mixed with other waste
materials, especially those containing halogenated solvents, and
disposal shall be in accordance with local, state, and Federal
regulations.
Prior to application of corrosion preventive compound, surfaces must
be cleaned to ensure removal of corrosion, soil, grease, or vehicle
acid and alkali residues.
a. Remove dirt, grease, oil, and other foreign matter from all painted and unpainted metal surfaces of
vehicle by scrubbing with cloths soaked in MIL-PRF-680 Type II and IV degreasing solvents. Refer

cleaning with compressed air, eye shields must be worn. Failure to
comply may result in injury to personnel. Seek medical attention in
the event of an injury

foreign matter. After cleaning, allow parts to air dry, use compressed air, or wipe with clean, dry
cloths. Refer to WP 0066, Item 2.

Preservation. All critical unpainted metal surfaces must be protected during shipment. Coat all unpainted,
exposed, or machined metal surfaces on the exterior of the vehicle with approved corrosion-preventive
compound only. Refer to WP 0066, Item 4. Equipment protected must be closely watched for signs of
corrosion. For additional information of preservation, refer to FM 38-700 and TC 38-3.

Limited Storage Instructions. Commanders are responsible for ensuring that all vehicles issued or
assigned to their command are maintained in a serviceable condition and properly cared for, and that
personnel under their command comply with technical instructions. Lack of time, trained personnel, or
proper tools may result in a unit being incapable of performing maintenance for which it is responsible.
In such cases, unit commanders may, with the approval of major commanders, place a vehicle that is
beyond the maintenance capability of the unit in administrative storage. For detailed information, refer to
AR 750-1.
