GENERALMAINTENANCEPROCEDURES.All unit level maintenance shall be performed inaccordance with good and safe shop practices. Observethe following general instructions and requirements whenperforming screed burner maintenance.a. Areas of the paving machine exposed topaving material buildup require cleaning prior todisassembly. Use hammers, chisels, and scrapers toremove thickest sections of buildup. If available, useheater gun to soften deposits adhering to components;remove softened buildup with putty knife. When heatingpaving material, keep second person with fireextinguisher at hand and avoid overheating. If heatergun is not available, use solvent or fuel washdownsystem to soften paving material.b. Thoroughly clean hoses and fittings beforedisconnecting. Always plug or cap off disconnectedfittings to prevent dirt and contaminants from entering thesystem. Failure to clean hoses and fittings and to plug orcap open fittings may result in system contamination andequipment damage.c. Always tag mating connectors and fittingsbefore disconnecting. Tagging of mating connectors andfittings will ease reassembly and reduce assemblyerrors.d. Use a backup wrench when loosening ortightening inline fittings. Using a backup wrench willprevent unnecessary damage to attached lines and/orsmaller fittings.e. When removing tie wraps from hoses andwiring, note or mark locations and anchor points. Theproper location and installation of tie wraps will preventundue chafing of hoses and wiring.f. Thread locking compound is used with mostthreaded fasteners. If a threaded fastener will not breakloose, heat threaded area of fastener from 500° to 600°F(232° to 3150C) with heater gun. If the special solventused to remove thread locking compound from screwthreads fails to remove buildup, discard fastener.g. Inspect removed components for wear ordamage. Replace damaged parts. Replace usedlockwashers, selflocking nuts, seals, gaskets, andpreformed packings.h. Inspect all removed fasteners for threaddamage. If thread damage is found, replace fastener.Replace flat washers if galled or bent. Use screwextractor set (Item 15, Appendix E) to remove brokenstuds or screws.i. Use only authorized replacement parts. Referto TM 53895-373-24P, Repair Parts and Special ToolsList (RPSTL) for authorized replacement parts.j. Torque values cited in the text apply tomodified SAE Grade 8 fasteners at required clampingloads.k. Observe all warnings and cautions. Wearprotective clothing and equipment as specified.
