MIL-STD-107J

5.1.5 Lubrication systems. Lubrication systems shall be drained and filled with preservative oil conforming to viscosity grade SAE 30 of MIL-PRF-21260. The lubrication system shall be flushed and drained and all openings closed.

5.1.6 Gear cases. Gear cases shall be drained and flushed with preservative oil conforming to viscosity grade SAE 30 of MIL-PRF-21260. The gear cases shall be flushed while the machine is operating under power. After the oil has been circulated thoroughly, the oil shall be drained completely. The gear cases shall be refilled with preservative oil conforming to viscosity grade SAE 30 of MIL-PRF-21260. The oil shall be circulated thoroughly, drained completely, and all openings closed. If power operation is not feasible, the gear case shall be flushed manually or with a pump and all openings closed.

5.1.7 Cutting fluid systems. Cutting fluid systems shall be drained and all foreign matter shall be removed. The systems shall be flushed thoroughly with a solution consisting of one part preservative oil conforming to viscosity grade SAE 30 of MIL-PRF-21260 and nine parts cleaning solvent conforming to type II of MIL-PRF-680. The solution shall be circulated thoroughly and drained. The system shall be flushed with preservative oil conforming to grade 3 of

MIL-PRF-16173. The system shall be drained and all openings closed.

5.1.8 Hydraulic systems. Hydraulic systems shall be inspected and tested to determine the condition of the reservoir and hydraulic fluid. If the reservoir and hydraulic fluid are clean and uncontaminated and certified to part 761 of Title 40 CFR, then no further processing is required except to fully retract and secure the hydraulic mechanisms, drain the system and close all openings. If the hydraulic system is dirty and/or contaminated with PCBs, the system shall be drained and decontaminated by cycling and flushing with new hydraulic fluid specified in the operator's manual or hydraulic fluid conforming to MIL-PRF-6083 until it meets the

requirements of part 761 of Title 40 CFR. After decontamination, the hydraulic system shall be drained and all openings closed.

5.1.9 Water cooling chambers, water jackets, steam lines, and related systems. Cooling chambers and water jackets shall be drained, refilled with clean fresh water, and flushed to remove all corrosion, rust, and harmful foreign matter. The water shall be completely drained from the system and steam lines with moisture-free compressed air. No preservative shall be applied to these systems. All openings shall be closed.

5.1.10 Coolant systems. Coolant systems that require anti-freeze shall be filled to the operating level with 50 percent of anti-freeze conforming to type I or type II of A-A-52624 and

50 percent water. If the system contains a thermostat, the equipment shall operate long enough to allow the thermostat to open to provide for even distribution of the coolant. The equipment shall not be drained and all openings shall be closed. The equipment shall be tagged with the following: NOTE: "THE COOLANT SYSTEM CONTAINS WATER AND ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTION IN EQUAL PARTS. DO NOT DRAIN-CHECK COOLANT LEVEL."

5.1.11 Bearings, general purpose. Bearings that have been removed from operating position for storage purposes shall be individually preserved in accordance with

MIL-DTL-197.
