GENERAL PREPARATION OF VEHICLE FOR SHIPMENT

SCOPE

a. This section provides instructions on preserving and protecting ESP series vehicles for shipment.

b. Protection for vehicles and accompanying equipment must be sufficient to protect the material

against deterioration and physical damage.

CLEANING

WARNING

Skysol-100 mixture is combustible. Use mechanical ventilation whenever

product is used in a confined space, is heated above ambient

temperatures, or is agitated. DO NOT use or store near heat, sparks,

flame, or other ignition sources. Keep container sealed when not in use.

Contact with Skysol-100 may cause skin irritation. Use chemical resistant

gloves. In case of skin contact, remove any contaminated clothing and

wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing

before reuse. Eye contact may cause irritation, tearing, or blurring of

vision. Use face shield or goggles when eye contact may occur. In case of

eye contact, flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least fifteen (15)

minutes or until irritation subsides. Inhalation may cause irritation to

upper respiratory passages. DO NOT have food or drink in the vicinity.

CAUTION

Cleaning materials or paints containing chlorinated hydrocarbon

class solvents are not to be used on composite taillights and

parking lights. Damage to taillight and parking light lenses may

result.

Prior to application of preservatives, surfaces must be cleaned to ensure removal of corrosion, soil, grease,

or vehicle acid and alkali residues.

a. Interior of Truck. Remove all dirt and other foreign matter from all painted metal surfaces of the

vehicle by scrubbing with cloths soaked in Skysol-100 (item 17, WP 0393 00). Use alcohol (item 9,

WP 0393 00) to clean electrical parts and electrical contact points. Use warm water for cleaning rubber

parts. Apply preservative compounds to rubber parts as required.

b. Exterior of Vehicle. Clean exterior surfaces of vehicle to ensure removal of all dirt and foreign

matter. After cleaning, immediately dry parts to remove excess cleaning solutions or residual moisture.

Allow parts to air dry or wipe with clean, dry, lint-free cloths (item 18, WP 0393 00).
