Before performing preventive maintenance, read all the checks required for the applicable interval and prepare all that is
needed to make all the checks. You will always need a rag (Item 13, WP 0085) or two.
WARNING
Solvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxic
material. However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles. Use
in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

bristled brushes. Be especially careful when cleaning electrical system components including
lighting. Damage or impaired operation could result if this caution is not observed.
