GENERAL INFORMATION (Contd)
GENERAL PREPARATION OF VEHICLES FOR SHIPMENT
This Work Package (WP) provides instructions on preserving and protecting M44A2 series vehicles in
preparation for shipment. Protection for vehicles and accompanying equipment must be sufficient to
protect the material against deterioration and physical damage.
WARNING
Skysol 100 solvent is combustible; DO NOT use or store near
heat, sparks, flame, or other ignition sources. Use mechanical
ventilation whenever product is used in a confined space,
heated above ambient temperatures, or agitated. Keep
container sealed when not in use.
Contact with Skysol 100 may cause skin irritation. Use
chemical-resistant gloves. In case of skin contact, remove any
contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Eye
contact may cause irritation, tearing, or blurring of vision. Use
face shield or goggles when eye contact may occur. In case of
eye contact, flush eyes with large amounts of water for at
least 15 minutes or until irritation subsides. Inhalation may
cause irritation to upper respiratory passages. DO NOT have
food or drink in the vicinity. Failure to comply may result in
injury to personnel.
CAUTION
Cleaning materials or paints containing chlorinated
hydrocarbon class solvents are not to be used on composite
taillights and parking lights. Damage to taillight and parking
light lenses may result.
Prior to application of preservatives, surface must be cleaned to ensure removal of corrosion, soil,
grease, or vehicle acid and alkali residues.
Interior of vehicle.
Remove all dirt and other foreign matter from all painted metal surfaces of the
vehicle by scrubbing with cloths soaked in Skysol 100 (item 13, WP 0468 00). Use alcohol
(item 6, WP 0468 00) to clean electrical parts and electrical contact points. Use warm water for
cleaning rubber parts. Apply preservative compounds to rubber parts as required.
Exterior of vehicle.
Clean exterior surfaces of vehicle to ensure removal of all dirt and foreign
matter. After cleaning, immediately dry parts to remove excess cleaning solutions or residual
moisture. Allow parts to air dry or wipe clean with clean, dry, lint-free rag (item 27, WP 0468 00).
