WARNING
Engage parking brake assembly to avoid damage whenever compressor is parked on a
slope unattached to vehicle. Failure to observe this warning may result in severe personal
injury or death.
NOTE
Perform BEFORE or DURING operation PMCS if you are assigned operator and have
not operated the item since the last interval or if you are operating the item for the
first time.
NOTE
With the designated interval, these checks are to be performed in the order listed.
NOTE
All procedural instructions assume that the two access doors and frame control panel are
opened for access.
2-3.2.7 Checks that are Common to the Entire Compressor are: Keep it clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris
only get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you work and as needed. Use dry cleaning
solvent (SD-2) on all metal surfaces. Use soap and water when you clean rubber or plastic material. Check
compressor and frame for rust and corrosion. If any bare metal or corrosion exists, clean and apply a thin coat
of oil. Report it to your supervisor.
2-3.2.8 Bolts, Nuts. and Screws. Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition.
Look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you are unable to tighten them, report it to
your supervisor.
2-3.2.9 Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you find a
bad weld, report it to your supervisor.
2-3.2.10 Electric Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked, frayed, or broken insulation, bare wires, and
loose or broken connectors. Report any damaged wires to your supervisor.
2-3.2.11 Hoses. Fuel, and Oil Lines. Look for wear, damage, and leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings
are tight. Wet spots show leaks, but a stain around a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. If a leak
comes from a loose fitting or connector, or something is broken or worn out, report it to your supervisor.
WARNING
DO NOT use diesel fuel, gasoline, or benzene (benzol) for cleaning. Failure to observe this
warning may result in severe personal injury or death.
