Inspection.    The  crane-shovel  will  be  inspected for   any   unusual   conditions   such   as   damage,   rusting, accumulation of water, and pilferage.   DA  Form  2404 (Work  sheet for Preventive Maintenance and Technical Inspection  of  Engineer  Equipment)  will  be  executed  on the equipment. c. Cleaning  and  Drying.    Thorough  cleaning  and drying  by  an  approved  technique  is  the  first  essential procedure     in     any     effective     preservation     process. Approved   methods   of   cleaning   and   drying,   types   of preservatives, and methods of application are described in TM 38230. d.

Note It  is  not  necessary  to  drain  and  refill cooling system if the solution is clean and checks  to  a  -25 °F.  If temperatures below  -25 °F.    are  expected,  antifreeze conforming    to    Specification    MIL-C- 11755  shall  be  used  in  its  undiluted condition. g. Lubrication  Systems.    Check  level  of  lubricant. Operate  the  engines  at  a  fast  idle  until  lubricant  has been circulated throughout the system. h. Sealing of Openings.  Openings that will permit the direct entry of water into the interior of the gasoline engine-driven  equipment,  starting  motor,  etc.,  shall  be sealed    with    pressure-sensitive    tape    conforming    to Specification PPP-T-60, type III, class 1. i. Fuel Tanks.  If the fuel tank is empty, it will be fogged  with  type  P-10,  grade  2  engine  preservative  oil conforming  to  MIL-L-21260.    It  is  not  required  to  drain the tank of operating fuels. j. Exterior   Surfaces.      Coat   exposed   machined ferrous metal surfaces with preservative (P-6) conforming  with  Specification  MIL-C-11796,  class  3.    If preservation is not available, cup grease may be used. k.
