Section II. SERVICE UPON RECEIPT

4-4. UNPACKING AND PACKING.

This paragraph provides information required to ensure the flatrack is adequately inspected, serviced and

operationally tested before it is subjected to normal everyday use. These procedures cover unpacking, deprocessing

and packing.

Unpacking.

(1)

Remove any metal strapping, plywood, tapes, seals, wrapping or any other shipping and protective items.

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

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.
