unloading operations. Pay close attention to any loose or missing nuts, bolts, screws, access plates, drain
plugs, draincocks, oil plugs, assemblies, subassemblies, or components that may be easily lost or broken
in transit. Check Basic Issue Items (BII) against checklist to make sure all items are accounted for and
are in good condition (TM 9-4940-568-10). Carefully list all discrepancies.
Drycleaning Solvent (P-D-680) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles, face
shield, and gloves; use only in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothes, and do not breathe vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never smoke when
using solvent. The flashpoint for Type II Drycleaning Solvent is 140 degrees F (60 degrees
