work and as needed Use dry cleaning solvent (SD-2) on all metal surfaces
b. Bolts, nuts and screws - Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent or broken condition. You can't try
them all with a tool, of course, but look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find one you
think is loose, tighten It, or report it to Organizational Maintenance

Welds - Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you find a bad weld,

Tighten loose connectors and make sure the wires are in good shape
e. Hydraulic lines and fittings - Look for wear, damage, leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet spots
show leaks, of course, but a stain around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose
fitting or connector, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, report it to Organizational Maintenance.
