WARNING
When
using
compressed
air
for
cleaning, use approved protective
equipment for eyes and face. Do not
use more than 30 psig air pressure.
Do not direct air toward yourself or
another person. Failure to comply
could result in injury, get medical
attention.

Allow five minute stabilization period, then apply
fluid (E. 38) to entire surface of all connections
throughout pneumatic system to check for leaks.
5.
No leaks are permitted, other than that from
constant bleed hole at base of fuel control unit.
NOTE
Leak testing fluid has a low viscosity
and readily forms an unbroken film
around connections. Any air leaks at
connections
will
produce
distinct
bubbles under film.
