GENERAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES – CONTINUED
1.
Cleanliness. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Use
MIL-PRF-680, Type II or IV, degreasing solvent on all painted or unpainted metal surfaces and soapy
water on rubber.
2.
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check bolts, nuts, and screws for obvious looseness, and missing, bent, or
broken conditions. Look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If any part seems
loose, tighten it. If any part is broken or missing, replace it.
3.
Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If a bad weld is
found, notify your supervisor.
4.
Electric Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or broken
connectors. Tighten loose connectors and ensure wires are in good shape. If a bad wire or connector is
found, notify your supervisor.
5.
Hydraulic Lines and Fittings. Look for wear, damage, and leaks; ensure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet
spots show leaks. Stain around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose fitting
or connector, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, repair or replace it.
6.
Damage. Damage is defined as any condition that affects safety or would make the M915A1 tractor
unserviceable for mission requirements.
