transmission power takeoff parts.

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

of antifriction bearings, TM 9-214.

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 used.

CAUTION

When scraping gasket material from surface of

parts, be careful not to scratch or gouge the

metal surface.

CAUTION

It is easy to damage the equipment if you don't

know what you're doing. Do not try to do this

task unless you are experienced at it, or you

have an experienced person with you.

NOTE

Small chips, burrs or scratches on gears and

gear shafts can be repaired. Cracks in housing

castings that do not go into screw holes or

openings can be repaired. If parts are damaged

in any other way, throw away parts and get new

ones.
