TM 9-2815-220-24 STANDARD MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 0028 00 PERSONNEL SAFETY To ensure safety of personnel, proper care should be exercised when handling the engine and its subassemblies and parts. Many subassemblies are heavy. Assistance of another person, lifting device, or other support equipment is needed to manipulate them. Personnel should not try to handle heavy parts by hand. Ensure that all lifting devices are in good working order. Maintenance of the engine requires removal and installation of many large retaining rings that are spring loaded. Two approved methods for handling retaining rings safely are as follows: Safety glasses (goggles) must be worn to protect the eyes in either case. a. Place a wiping rag around retaining ring and hold in place with one hand. Release retaining ring with approved retaining ring pliers. b. Place a small hammer handle on the shaft or in the bore of the hardware you’re working on. Hold hammer in place with one hand and release retaining ring using approved retaining ring pliers. Two warnings are frequently used in this work package, cleaning compound solvent and compressed air. In the procedure, they will be presented in an abbreviated version. They are presented here in full. WARNING Cleaning compound solvent is mildly toxic. Solvent evaporates and both the fumes and liquid are flammable. Continued contact with solvent can cause skin problems. Ensure there is good airflow when using solvent, and work area is away from heat and flames. • Keep fire extinguisher nearby. • Do not breathe solvent fumes. • Avoid skin contact. See Warning in front of Manual. WARNING Compressed air can injure you and others. Do not aim air at personnel. Do not use more pressure than 30 psi (207 kPa). Always wear goggles. See Warning in front of Manual. EQUIPMENT Obtain the proper equipment before beginning disassembly.
