Drycleaning solvent P-D-680 is toxic and flammable. Wear protective goggles, face mask, and gloves and
use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes and don't breathe vapor. Do not
use near open flame or excessive heat. The flash point for type I drycleaning solvent is 100°F (38'C) and for
type II is 140°F (60'C). If you become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, get fresh air immediately and get
medical aid. If contact with eyes is made, flush eyes with water and get medical aid immediately.
•
DO NOT use diesel fuel, gasoline, or benzene (benzol) for cleaning.
•
DO NOT SMOKE when using cleaning solvent. NEVER USE IT NEAR AN OPEN FLAME. Be sure there is a
fire extinguisher nearby and use cleaning solvent only in well-ventilated places.
•
USE CAUTION when using cleaning solvents. Cleaning solvents evaporate quickly and can irritate exposed
skin if solvents contact skin. In cold weather, contact of exposed skin with cleaning solvents can cause
frostbite.

REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTS.
a.
Before removal of any electrical component, disconnect from power source.
b.
Ensure that adequate clearance is available for removal of the component. Disassemble the Heater to the
extent necessary to provide adequate working clearance.
All personnel must stand clear during lifting operations. A swinging or shifting load may cause injury or
death to personnel.
c.
Use a chain hoist, jack, or other aid when lifting heavier components. Lifting device should be positioned and
attached to components to remove all strain from mounting hardware, before last hardware is removed.
d.
Discard preformed packings, gaskets, seals, and similar material when removed. Be sure that all traces of
oil, gaskets, and sealants are removed. When possible, use wood or plastic probes and scrapers to prevent damage to
machined surfaces.
e.
Cotter pins, lock washers, lockwire, self-locking nuts, and similar devices should be discarded when
removed. Self-locking fasteners that loosen up must be replaced, not tightened.
f.
To prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering open housings, lines, and other openings, use
protective coverings as soon as possible after disassembly. Wrap all parts in clean paper or dip parts in preservative oil
(item 17, Appendix E) or equivalent.
