TM 9–1200–215–34&P 1–4 WARNING • Dry cleaning solvent, mineral spirits, and paint thinners are flammable and should not be used near an open flame. Fire extinguishers should be nearby when these materials are used. Use these cleaners only in well–ventilated areas. • Cleaners evaporate quickly and thus cause drying and/or irritation of skin or eyes. Operators using cleaners must wear protective gloves. Do not allow contact with eyes. • Do not use diesel fuel oil, gasoline, or benzene for cleaning. These solvents decompose rubber. (1) Remove foreign matter from assemblies by wiping with cleaning solvent (item 12, Appendix D). Wipe cleaned surface with a lint–free cloth (item 13, Appendix D). (2) When cleaning is complete, thoroughly dry areas with low pressure compressed air. b. Recording. Refer to DA PAM 738–750 to select correct form and instructions for technical inspection and the corrective actions taken. 1–13. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE STORAGE a. Instructions for placing equipment in, and for removing it from administrative storage will be provided in accordance with AR 750–1 and paragraph 1–5. b. Placement of equipment in administrative storage should be for short periods of time when a shortage of maintenance efforts exists. Items should be in mission readiness within 24 hours or within the time factors as determined by the directing authority. During the storage period, appropriate maintenance records will be kept including all applicable PMCS requirements. AFCS and PDIU LRUs will be stored/shipped in its own storage/shipment container. c. Before placing equipment in administrative storage, current maintenance services and Equipment Serviceable Criteria (ESC) evaluations should be completed, shortcomings and deficiencies corrected, and all Modification Work Orders (MWOs) applied. d. Storage site selection. Inside storage is preferred for items selected for administrative storage. If inside storage is not available, trucks, vans, CONEX containers and other containers may be used. 1–14.
