GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Improper cleaning methods and use of unauthorized cleaning
solvents may result in damage to equipment or possible injury to
personnel. Seek medical attention in the event of an injury.
Compressed air source must not exceed 30 psi (207 kPa). Wear eye
shields and gloves when cleaning with compressed air. Failure to
comply may result in injury to personnel. Seek medical attention in
the event of an injury.
There are no adverse effects on human health associated with the use
of MIL-PRF-680 when used as intended; however when used
indoors, ventilation shall be sufficient to prevent the accumulation of
vapors above allowable exposure limits. Failure to comply may result
in injury to personnel. Seek medical attention in the event of an
injury.
When applying and removing MIL-PRF-680 Type II or IV
degreasing solvent, personnel shall wear chemical-resistant gloves
and a face shield or goggles to prevent skin and eye contact with
solvent and oil, grease, and other contaminants removed with solvent.
In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing before
reuse. In the event of eye contact, flush eyes with large amounts of
water for at least 15 minutes or until irritation subsides. Do not have
food or drink in the vicinity. Failure to comply may result in injury to
personnel. Seek medical attention in the event of an injury.
NOTE
Degreasing solvents shall be used as degreasers and cleaners for
painted and unpainted metal parts. These two approved types of
solvent are hydrocarbon-based, low odor, and recyclable. In addition
Type II or IV have a high flash point and are not defined as a
flammable material. Type IV solvent contains a 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.
