such as aprons, gloves, breather masks, showers, and any other equipment deemed necessary to protect the processing personnel shall be utilized, as necessary.
4.4 Materials. Materials used for processing IPE shall be as specified herein or as specified in referenced specifications.
4.5 Cleaning. Thorough cleaning and drying shall be completed prior to the application of preservatives by any suitable means that will not damage the machine in any manner. All harmful foreign materials and contamination shall be removed (i.e. rust, sludge, chips, alkali, acidity, grease, etc.). Cleaning, drying, fingerprint removal, and the application of preservatives shall comprise an uninterrupted series of operations holding the total elapsed time to an absolute minimum. If periods of interruption are necessary, temporary wraps, covers, or enclosures shall be utilized to insure against contamination or deterioration of the item. The cleaning solution used for final wipe shall contain cleaning solvent conforming to type II of MIL-PRF-680 and mixed with 5 percent of preservative oil conforming to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) viscosity grade 30 and MIL-PRF-21260. Items having irregular surfaces, crevices, undercuts, or pockets, shall be cleaned by brushing, wiping, or applying moisture-free compressed air. Exposed gears, precision bearings, electrical and electronic systems, motors, gauges, meters, timing devices, non-metallic units, and items containing organic materials shall be covered with a barrier material conforming to type II of MIL-PRF-22191 prior to the application of any solvents.
4.5.1 Processing IPE for shipment to a rebuild facility. When IPE is shipped to a rebuild facility, the shipping activity shall process the item only to the extent necessary to
ensure the item reaches its destination without deterioration and damage. The process used shall be capable of protecting the item for a minimum of 180 days. The receiving activity shall
certify that the item will be rebuilt within 180 days. If the time for processing the item exceeds
180 days, the item shall be stored in a controlled humidity warehouse or processed in accordance with paragraphs 4.5.1.1 through 4.5.1.4 herein. Regardless of the procedures used for processing, paragraph 4.13 herein shall always apply.
4.5.1.1 Interim storage cleaning. Interim storage is defined as the time period following shutdown maintenance and prior to long-term storage. Grease, grit, chips, spent coolant, fingerprints and other acidic and alkali residue shall be removed prior to interim storage.
4.5.1.2 Production phase-down. When production is phasing down, the using activity, contractor, maintenance activity, or government activity shall evaluate the production capability of each item of IPE. The production capability, operating capability or condition code of the item shall be based on its general utilization purpose. Both static and dynamic analytical testing shall be performed to ensure that the item is functioning within its specified parameters. In addition to condition coding, unusual circumstances such as missing parts, defective components, and erratic operations shall be noted. This data shall be provided as backup for the permanent record on DD Form 1342, and shall be maintained by the appointed activity.
4.5.1.3 Shutdown maintenance procedures. Shutdown maintenance procedures shall begin as soon as the IPE becomes idle. Every effort shall be directed toward initiating these progressive maintenance actions within a maximum period of 48 hours. These procedures shall represent the minimum cleaning, drying, and preservation operation to be performed on the IPE.
