2-18. Operation in Salt Water Areas.
a.
Avoid direct contact with salt water to prevent corrosion. If salt water does come in contact with the unit,
rinse the unit with clean, fresh water.
b.
Repair any paint damage, such as cracks and chips. Apply standard issue rustproofing material to all
exposed ferrous metal (steel) surfaces. If rustproofing material is not available, apply a light film of oil or
grease to all exposed metal surfaces.
2-19. Operation at High Altitudes.
a.
Engine power output will decrease to about 3-1/2 percent for every 1000 feet above sea level. The
compressor will have a similar loss of operating efficiency.
b.
Service the engine/compressor air cleaner often to minimize this loss of efficiency.
