5.1.20 Engines, gasoline and diesel. Gasoline and diesel engines shall be preserved in accordance with ATPD 2232.

5.1.21 Air cylinders. Air cylinders shall not be removed from the basic IPE unit. The internal surfaces of the cylinders and the operating mechanisms shall be cleaned, dried, and fogged with preservative oil conforming to viscosity grade SAE 30 of MIL-PRF-21260. Organic packing shall be inspected and replaced if necessary.

5.1.22 Air motors and lines. Interior surfaces of air motors and air lines shall be coated with preservative oil conforming to viscosity grade SAE 30 of MIL-PRF-21260 by injecting the oil into the inlet air stream while operating the motor until the oil appears at the exhaust ports. Air inlets and outlets shall be sealed with plastic cap plugs conforming to NAS 847 or tape conforming to ASTM D 5486/D 5486M.

5.1.23 Organic packing. Organic packing in coolant, lubricant, hydraulic and other liquid carrying systems shall not be removed.

5.1.24 Dial indicators. Dial indicators shall be cushioned with material conforming to A-A-59136. The dial indicators shall be preserved in accordance with method 41 of

MIL-STD-2073-1 and placed in a container conforming to Level A packing requirements of

MIL-STD-2073-1.

5.1.25 Gauges and measuring instruments. Gauges and measurement instruments shall not be removed from IPE unless they protrude or otherwise are subject to damage. Gauges and instruments (other than dial indicators) including unit gauges, fixture gauges, and other

measuring instruments shall be cushioned with barrier material conforming to MIL-PRF-121 and preserved in accordance with method 41 of MIL-STD-2073-1. Gauges and measuring instruments shall be placed in a container conforming to Level A packing requirements of

MIL-STD-2073-1.

5.1.26 Loose parts. All loose parts that have been preserved and are not to be reinstalled immediately or retained with the basic unit shall be placed in bags conforming to MIL-B-117 or wrapped in barrier material conforming to type I or II, grade A, class 2 of MIL-PRF-121. Wrapped or bagged parts shall be secured with tape conforming to ASTM D 5486/D 5486M and placed in a container conforming to Level A packing requirements of MIL-STD-2073-1.

Volatile corrosion inhibitors shall not be used in any containers unless the containers are sealed.

5.1.27 Tool and tool accessories. Tool and tool accessories shall be cleaned, dried, preserved, and packed in accordance with standard commercial practices. Tools and tool accessories may be packed with volatile corrosion inhibitor material conforming to MIL-I-8574 and placed in sealed containers.

5.1.28 Slides, counterbalances, motors, and hydraulic tables. Slides, counterbalances, motors, hydraulic tables, and other moveable components shall be cleaned, dried, preserved, and securely braced to the machine or removed. Projecting parts difficult to support or protect shall be removed and placed in a container conforming to Level A packing requirements of MIL-STD-2073-1, and if possible, placed on the same skid.
