2-43. GENERAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Dry Cleaning Solvent (P-D-680) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles
and gloves; use only in well ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothes, and do not breathe vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never smoke
when using solvent; the flashpoint for Type I Dry Cleaning Solvent is 100 degrees F
(38 degrees C) and for Type II is 130 degrees F (50 degrees C). Failure to comply
may result in serious injury or death to personnel.
If personnel become dizzy while using Dry Cleaning Solvent, immediately get fresh
air and medical help. If solvent contacts skin or clothes, flush with cold water. If
solvent contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes with water and get immediate medical
attention. Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel.
Never use fuel to clean parts. Fuel is highly flammable. Serious injury or death
could result if fuel ignites during cleaning.
a.  Cleaning Solvents. Use only approved cleaning solvents to clean parts. Dry Cleaning Solvent P-D-680 (Item 65,
Appendix D) is commonly used. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
WARNING
Compressed air used for cleaning purposes will not exceed 30 psi (207 kPa). Use
only with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment
(goggles/shield, gloves, etc). Failure to comply may result in injury to personnel.
b.  Removing Deposits. Soak parts in Dry Cleaning Solvent P-D-680 (Item 65, Appendix D), and wash away deposits
by flushing or spraying. When necessary, brush with a soft bristle brush (not wire) moistened in solvent. Use
compressed air to dry parts, except bearings, after cleaning. Bearings must drip and air dry.
c.  Tools. Do not use wire brushes, abrasive wheels, or compounds to clean parts unless specifically approved in the
detailed procedures. Parts may be scratched or altered and may weaken a highly stressed part.
d.  Ball and Roller Bearings. When cleaning ball or roller bearings, place them in a basket and suspend them in a
container of Dry Cleaning Solvent P-D-680 (Item 65, Appendix D). If needed, use a brush to remove caked grease,
chips, etc. Avoid rotating bearing before solid particles are removed to prevent damaging races and balls. When
bearings have been cleaned, coat them lightly with lubricating oil (Item 42, Appendix D) to remove solvent.
