Inspection of Installed Parts

TM 9-3990-206-14&P

c. Inspection of Installed Parts. Perform inspection with the item in its normal installed position/condition,

considering accessibility and visibility of the item being inspected. The purpose of the inspection is to determine if the

item is damaged or incomplete to the extent that it should be replaced/repaired.

(1)

Inspect for loose, missing, or damaged parts.

(2)

Inspect parts for dents, holes, worn spots, scratches, marred finish, cracks, rust and corrosion.

(3)

Look for loose or chipped paint, rust or gaps where parts are welded together. If a bad weld is found,

notify the supervisor.

Drycleaning Solvent (P-D-680) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles, face

shield, and gloves; use only in a 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 II Drycleaning Solvent is 140 degrees F (60 degrees C)

and Type III Drycleaning Solvent is 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Failure to do so may

result in injury or death to personnel.

If personnel become dizzy while using 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.

d. Cleaning. Remove buildup of dirt and rust by wiping with an abrasive paper (Item 10, Appendix E). Use a

cloth (Item 4, Appendix E) or wire scratch brush (Item 1, Appendix I) and drycleaning solvent (Item 14, Appendix E)

to clean metal parts. Allow to dry.
