GENERAL PREPARATION OF VEHICLE FOR SHIPMENT (Contd)

LUBRICATION

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.

After cleaning has been accomplished, wipe all grease fittings clean with Skysol-100 (item 17, WP 0393 00)

and lubricate vehicle in accordance with WP 0023 00. Remove excess grease after lubrication and before

processing.

PRESERVATION

All critical unpainted metal surfaces must be protected during shipment. Use procedures and materials

listed in a. and b. below. If the preservatives listed below are not available, oil or grease covered in

WP 0023 00 may be used for this purpose, but are effective for only a few days; therefore, equipment

protected must be closely watched for signs of corrosion. When selecting preservatives, use only those that

will not damage the surface to which they are applied.

a. Battery Leads. Disconnect both batteries (WP 0121 00). Each battery lead terminal, including the

jumper lead ends, must be wrapped with tape (item 48, WP 0393 00).

b. Miscellaneous Preservation. Coat all unpainted, exposed, or machined metal surfaces on the

exterior of the vehicle with corrosion-preventive compound (item 19, WP 0393 00).

PACKAGING

Electrical Openings. Cover all electrical receptacles with tape (item 48, WP 0393 00) or with plastic caps

which will afford the same degree of protection.

PACKING

Pack all Basic Issue Items (BII) and Additional Authorization List (AAL) items to prevent mechanical

damage.

SHIPMENT OF ARMY DOCUMENTS

Prepare all army shipping documents accompanying vehicle in accordance with DA Pam 738-750.
