Cleaning is an after-operation service performed by operator/crew to keep the

tactical situations permit.

Protective gloves, clothing, and/or respiratory equipment must be worn
whenever caustic, toxic, or flammable cleaning solutions are used.

Diesel fuel or gasoline must never be used for cleaning.
(4)
A fire extinguisher must be available and ready during all cleaning
operations involving solvents.
b. Special Precautions.

Do not allow cleaning compounds to come into contact with rubber,
leather, vinyl, or canvas materials.

Do not allow corrosion-removing cleaning compounds to contact painted
surfaces.
