(10) Charge new battery packs for a minimum of 24 hours.
4-13. Cleaning and Spot-Painting. Perform cleaning and spot-painting instructions as follows:
CAUTION
Do not paint over unpainted areas. These areas are EMI bonding surfaces that must
remain unpainted for maximum conductance.
a.
Spot painting is limited to touchup of scratched, scraped, or otherwise marred surfaces. Clean CDU screen
and porro prism with lens paper to prevent scratching the surface. Wipe down cables and IPADS
components with a soft lint free cloth. When using water to spray off IPADS, ensure all electrical
connectors are securely connected or covered with their electrical cap.
WARNING
Denatured alcohol is flammable and gives off harmful vapors. Use only in
well-ventilated areas away from open flames and sparks. Avoid prolonged or repeated
inhalation of vapors.
b.
The area to be painted must be thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from oil or grease. Use steel wool or fine
sand paper to clean rust from all steel surfaces. Do not sand any items that are aluminum or plastic. Use
isopropyl alcohol as a cleaning solvent. Do not use soap and water because soap reacts with aluminum to
produce a waxy film. Cover connectors and unpainted areas with masking tape before painting. The
system probably will not work if connector contacts get painted. Make sure moving parts, such as
clamping latches, are not immobilized by paint.
c.
Carefully apply Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) paint with a small paintbrush. Brush out any
runs or drips. Allow paint to air dry for at least 24 hours before subjecting it to wear.
4-14. Repair of Damaged or Unserviceable Items. Repair of damaged or unserviceable items are achieved
through replacement.
