CORROSION PREVENTION CONTROL (CPC)
Corrosion prevention control maintenance is a requirement for the PLST M1076 A1. While perfoming the PMCS,
look for and always be aware of rust, peeling or blistering paint, and any damage that can cause corrosion. Inspect
entire trailer including specific areas mentioned in PMCS. Ensure corrosion preventive compounds are applied
adequately where required. Be aware that missing corrosion preventive compounds can allow corrosion damage.
Fix any deficiencies as soon as possible to maximize PLST M1076 A1 life. Appearance and color of corrosion is
dependent on the metal/components involved. Table 1 will aid in the visual identification of corrosion on specific
metals.

FLUID LEAKAGE
It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects the status of the PLST M1076 A1. Following are types/
classes of leakage you need to know to be able to determine the status of the PLST M1076 A1. Learn these leakage
definitions and remember - when in doubt, notify your supervisor. Equipment operation is allowed with minor leakage
(Class I or II). Consideration must be given to fluid capacity in the item/system being checked/inspected. When in
doubt, notify your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to check fluid levels as required in the PMCS.
Class III leaks should be reported immediately to your supervisor.
1.
Class I :
Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
2.
Class II:
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but not enough to cause drops to drip from item being
checked/inspected.
3.
Class III:
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being checked/inspected.
