It is necessary to know how fluid leakage affects the status of the M915A1 tractor. Following are types/classes
of leakage you need to know to be able to determine the status of the vehicle. Learn these leakage definitions
and remember–when in doubt, notify your supervisor.
NOTE
Equipment operation is allowed with minor leakages (Class I or II).
Consideration must be given to fluid capacity in the item/system
being checked/inspected. When in doubt, notify your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to check fluid levels as required in the PMCS. Class III leaks
should be reported immediately to your supervisor. The following information will provide a definition of the

GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The following information will assist with general maintenance type procedures:
WARNING
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.
