When you do your PMCS, you will always need a rag or two. The following are checks common t
o the
water heater:
(1)
Keep it clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way and may cover up more serious
problems. Clean as you work and as needed. Use dry cleaning solvent (P-D-680, Appendix F, Item 14) on all
metal surfaces. Use soap and water when you clean rubber or plastic material.
(2)
Rust and Corrosion. Check water heater body and skid for rust and corrosion. If any is found,
report it to your supervisor.
(3)
Bolts, Nuts and Screws. Check for obvious looseness, missing, bent,
or broken condition.
Look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find a bolt, nut or screw you think is loose,
tighten it or report it to your supervisor.
