TM 55-4920-328-13Section IX. T700 ENGINES2-61. Installation and Preparation of T700 METSTest Adapter and T700 Engine for Testing.a. General Practices. When installing the testadapter, adherence to the following general practiceswill facilitate installation and help prevent unnecessarydamage or wear and tear to the equipment.(1) During assembly, be careful not todrop nuts, washers, or other objects onto or into engine.If an object is dropped, do not proceed further until it isremoved.(2) To aid in reassembly, keep boltstogether as they are removed from each splitline.(3) Do not use excessive force to assembleparts. If excessive force is necessary, inspectsurfaces for burrs or pickups. Repair or replacedefective parts.(4) All attaching bolts or nuts, asapplicable, must be tightened to the appropriate torquevalue. When special torque values are not specified inthe text, refer to chapter 6 of this technical manual forstandard torque values.(5) All used locknuts shall be tried forself-locking capabilities before being reused.Manually thread used locknut onto bolt or stud until itstops turning. Replace locknut if bolt or stud threads gopast end of locknut.(6) Install corrosion resistant MS20995lockwire of the appropriate wire gage, when instructed inthe following text. Lockwire in accordance withMS33540.(7) See manual TM55-2840-248-23 forprocedure on wrench-arc method fortightening, when this method is specified.WARNINGLUBRICATING OILMIL-M-7808 and MIL-M-23699•If oil is decomposed by heat, toxic gases are released.•Prolonged contact with liquid or mist may cause dermatitis and irritation.•If there is any prolonged contact with skin, wash area with soap and water.If solution contacts eyes, flush eyes withwater immediately. Remove saturated clothing.•If oil is swallowed, do not try to vomit. Get immediate medical attention.•When handling liquid, wear rubber gloves. If prolonged contact with mist islikely, wear approved respirator.(8) Discard all preformed packings (0-rings) that are removed during disassembly. Do notdiscard the fuel supply gasket unless sealing material isdamaged. Apply a light coating of engine oil MIL-L-78n8 or MIL-L-23699 to new preformed packings.Before installing new preformed packings, lubricate allgrooves and surfaces with engine oil.(9) Unless otherwise noted, use a light coatof engine oil MIL-L-7808 or MIL-L-23699 to lubricatethreads of bolts, screws, studs, coupling nuts, andfasteners used in assembly. Failure to do this maycause bolts to be improperly torqued or may causeshank nuts to become loose during assembly. It mayalso cause bolt seizure and/or failure during removal.2-220 Change 2
