Clean all bearing cones and cups. Refer to inspection, care, and maintenance

of antifriction bearings, TM 9214.

WARNING

Dry cleaning solvent is flammable. Do not use

near an open flame. Keep a fire extinguisher

nearby when solvent is used. Use only in well-

ventilated places. Failure to do this may result

in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.

Do not use more than 30 psi of air pressure for

drying parts. Eye shields must be worn when

using compressed air. Eye injury can occur if

eye shields are not worn.

CAUTION

When scraping gasket material from surface of

parts, be careful not to scratch or gouge metal

surfaces.

Clean all other parts with solvent. Scrape all gasket material from surface of

Rinse parts in clean solvent and dry with compressed air.

Make sure that all oil passages are open. Open clogged passages with

compressed air or by working a stiff wire back and forth. Flush with solvent.

Small chips, burrs or scratches on gears and

gearshafts can be repaired. If parts are damaged
