Dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 (SD2) is toxic and flammable.
Wear protective goggles, face shield, and gloves and use
only in a well ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes and clothes and don't breathe vapors. Do not use near
open flame or excessive heat. If you become dizzy while
using cleaning solvent, get fresh air immediately and get
medical aid. If contact with skin or clothing is made, flush
with water. If contact with eyes is made, wash your eyes
with water and get medical aid immediately.
Keep it clean: Dirt, grease, oil and debris only get in the way and may cover
(1)
up a serious problem. Clean as you work and as needed. Use dry cleaning solvent
(SD2) on all metal surfaces. Use soap and water when you clean rubber or plastic
material.
Bolts, nuts and screws: Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent
(2)
or broken condition. You can't try them all with a tool, of course, but look
for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find one you
think is loose, tighten it. Report it to Unit Maintenance if you can't tighten it.
