Procedure

Cables

Inspect all exterior cables for kinks and strained

cut, frayed, or otherwise damaged insulation.

NOTE

Report any abnormal conditions to direct support

maintenance personnel.

Cleanliness

Make sure exterior surfaces of the unit are clean.

If necessary, clean exterior surfaces as follows:

a. Remove dust and loose dirt with a clean,

soft cloth.

b. Remove dust or dirt from plugs and jacks

with a brush.

WARNING

Adequate ventilation should be provided while

using trichlorotrifluoroethane. Prolonged

breathing of vapor should be avoided. The

solvent should not be used near heat or open

flame; the products of decomposition are toxic

and irritating. Since trichlorotrifluoroethane

dissolves natural oils, prolonged contact with

skin should be avoided. When necessary use

heavy duty rubber gloves that the solvent can-

not penetrate. If the solvent is taken internally,

consult a physician immediately.

Remove grease, fungus, and ground-in dirt

using a cloth dampened (not wet) with

trichlorotrifluoroethane.
