5-1 Storage Of Items
(1) Long-term storage of swing bearing is limited to 12 months. As a rule, swing bearing stored in excess of this must be overhauled. All seals must be replaced and all parts must be checked for rust or other defects.(2) Put swing bearing into service only after checking for oil leakage from seals and other likely trouble during operation if storage has been for a period of 6 to 12 months.(3) Rust-preventive treatment must be given to swing bearing before storing. 1. Cleaning 1) Remove dust, dirt and moisture with a clean cloth. Take necessary steps to remove rust if items gather rust.2) Use cleaning agent (PS-661) or trichloethylene to completely remove grease.3) Use methyl alcohol or finger print remover [MIL-C-5074 (P-0) or equivalent] to remove finger marks and make surface completely clean.4) Clean by brushing or wiping with a cloth.2. External rust prevention Protect noncoated parts from rust as follows:1) Apply a coat of rust preventive grease [MIL-G-3278 (P-11) or equivalent] by brushing on inner race and outer race. Give an even coat of rust-preventive oil [MIL-L-644 (P-9) or equivalent] to other parts.2) Cover ginished items with vinyl sheeting or barrier paper (MIL-B121 or equivalent) after coating with rust preventive compound. Store items in a well-ventilated place. Tape up covers if necessary.3) Remove the cover and wipe off rust preventive grease with a cloth. Use a cleaning agent unlikely to affect rubber or similar materials for removal if necessary.(4) Select an appropriate place to store swing bearing, such as a dry, clean plate that is not exposed to the weather or direct sunlight. Note that items will require overhauling much earlier if stored in unsatisfactory circumstances.5-2 Storage Of Parts
