GENERAL INFORMATION (Contd)
GENERAL PREPARATION OF VEHICLE FOR SHIPMENT (Contd)
LUBRICATION
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.
After cleaning has been accomplished, wipe all grease fittings with Skysol 100 and lubricate vehicle in
accordance with WP 0020 00. Remove excess grease after lubrication and before processing.
PRESERVATION
All critical unpainted metal surfaces must be protected during shipment. Use procedures and
materials listed below. If the preservatives listed below are not available, oil or grease covered in
WP 0020 00 may be used for this purpose, but are effective for only a few days; therefore, equipment
protected must be closely watched for signs of corrosion. When selecting preservatives, use only those
that will not damage the surface to which they are applied.
Battery Leads.
Disconnect both batteries (WP 0126 00). Each battery lead terminal, including the
jumper lead ends, must be wrapped with tape (item 43, WP 0468 00).
Miscellaneous Preservation.
Coat all unpainted, exposed, or machined metal surfaces on the
exterior of the vehicle with corrosion-preventative compound (item 15, WP 0468 00).
PACKAGING
Electrical Openings.
Cover all electrical receptacles with tape (item 43, WP 0468 00) or with plastic
caps which will afford the same degree of protection.
PACKING
Pack all Basic Issue Items (BII) and Additional Authorization List (AAL) items to prevent mechanical
damage.
SHIPMENT OF ARMY DOCUMENTS
Prepare all army shipping documents accompanying vehicle in accordance with DA Pam 738-750.
