WARNING: CALIBRATING FLUID
MIL-C-7024
• COMBUSTIBLE - DO NOT USE NEAR OPEN FLAMES, NEAR WELDING AREAS, OR ON HOT
SURFACES.
• PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. PROLONGED INHALATION OF
VAPOR CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, AND INTOXICATION.
• IF THERE IS ANY PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN, WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP
AND WATER. IF LIQUID CONTACTS EYES, FLUSH EYES THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. REMOVE
SOLVENT-SATURATED CLOTHING. IF VAPORS CAUSE LIGHT-HEADEDNESS, GO TO FRESH
AIR. IF LIQUID IS SWALLOWED, DO NOT TRY TO VOMIT. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
• WHEN HEATED, HOT FLUID MAY CAUSE BURNS. AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT FLUID. IF
SKIN CONTACTS HOT FLUID, FLUSH AFFECTED AREA WITH COLD WATER FOR 10 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY.
• WHEN HANDLING OR WHEN APPLYING LIQUID AT AN AIR-EXHAUSTED WORKBENCH, WEAR
APPROVED GLOVES AND GOGGLES (OR FACE SHIELD).
B. If the tube fails the test because of high metal on the sealing surfaces, then
blend the high metal (GEK 9250, 70-42-00); otherwise, the tube is not repairable.
Replace defective tube.
WARNING: TRICHLOROETHANE
O-T-620
• DO NOT USE NEAR OPEN FLAMES, WELDING AREAS, OR ON VERY HOT SURFACES. DO NOT
SMOKE WHEN USING IT. HEAT AND FLAMES CAN CAUSE THE FORMATION OF PHOSGENE GAS
WHICH IS INJURIOUS TO THE LUNGS.
• REPEATED OR PROLONGED CONTACT WITH LIQUID OR INHALATION OF VAPOR CAN CAUSE SKIN
AND EYE IRRITATION, DERMATITIS, NARCOTIC EFFECTS, AND HEART DAMAGE.
• AFTER PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT, WASH CONTACTED AREA WITH SOAP AND WATER. REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. IF VAPORS CAUSE IRRITATION, GO TO FRESH AIR. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION FOR OVEREXPOSURE OF SKIN AND EYES.
• WHEN HANDLING LIQUID IN VAPOR-DEGREASING TANK WITH HINGED COVER AND AIR
EXHAUST, OR AT AIR-EXHAUSTED WORKBENCH, WEAR APPROVED GLOVES AND GOGGLES.
• WHEN HANDLING LIQUID AT OPEN, UNEXHAUSTED WORKBENCH, WEAR APPROVED RESPIRATOR,
GLOVES, AND GOGGLES.
• DISPOSE OF LIQUID-SOAKED RAGS IN APPROVED METAL CONTAINER.
C. Using trichloroethane, pressure-flush tube assembly in both directions. Cap all
inlets immediately after flushing.
4. Functional Test of Fuel Pressure Switch.
A. With fuel pressure switch connected to a pressure test stand, connect a test light
or meter to pin 2 and pin 3 in the electrical connector. Light must be ON and

NOTE: When installing packing retainer (3) into fuel injector, be sure that the
end with the 0.125 (3.18 mm) diameter hole is facing away from the fuel
injector.
(a) Install packing M83248/1-009 into packing groove on packing retainer.
Install packing retainer (3) (hole end facing away from fuel injector) into
fuel injector as shown on Figure 508.
(b) Unscrew thumbscrew (5) enough to allow installation of retainer assembly
(4) onto fuel injector.
(c) Install retainer assembly (4) onto the fuel injector by sliding the tangs
into the packing groove as shown on Figure 508.
(d) Turn thumbscrew (5) in a clockwise direction so that the point on
thumbscrew engages the hole on the end of packing retainer (3). Hand-
tighten the thumbscrew enough to hold retainer assembly (4) firmly in
place.
(4) Install clamp assembly LMT-804 (7) onto fuel injector tip as follows:
(a) Install packing M83248/1-003 into the packing groove located on the tip of
clamp screw (6). Unscrew clamp screw (6) enough to allow installation of
clamp assembly (7) onto fuel injector tip.
CAUTION: TIGHTEN CLAMP SCREW (6) ONLY ENOUGH TO HOLD CLAMP ASSEMBLY (7) FIRMLY IN
PLACE; OTHERWISE, DAMAGE TO THE FUEL INJECTOR CONE WILL OCCUR.
(b) Install clamp assembly (7) onto fuel injector tip. Hand tighten the clamp
screw (6) enough to hold clamp assembly firmly in place.
C. Pressure-test the fuel injector as follows:
WARNING: HIGH-PRESSURE TESTING
• HIGH PRESSURES USED DURING TESTING MAY CAUSE RUPTURING OR BURSTING OF FAULTY
TUBES AND HOSES. THE RESULT COULD BE SERIOUS INJURY.
• TO PREVENT INJURY, COVER ALL TUBES AND HOSES WITH A SUITABLE SAFETY SHIELD
DURING TESTING.
• WHEN CAPS OR PLUGS ARE USED, BE SURE THEY ARE SECURELY INSTALLED TO PREVENT
THEM FROM BEING BLOWN OUT.
• BE SURE THAT PRESSURES ARE BLED OFF BEFORE EXPOSING OR TOUCHING HOSES OR
TUBES.
(1) Attach high-pressure hose to pressure test fitting LMT-767 (1, Figure 508) and
tighten (30° wrench arc).
(2) Pre-set regulator on nitrogen bottle to 750 psig (5171 kPa).
WARNING: CALIBRATING FLUID
MIL-C-7024
• COMBUSTIBLE - DO NOT USE NEAR OPEN FLAMES, NEAR WELDING AREAS, OR ON HOT
SURFACES.
• PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN MAY CAUSE IRRITATION. PROLONGED INHALATION OF
VAPOR CAN CAUSE DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, AND INTOXICATION.
• IF THERE IS ANY PROLONGED CONTACT WITH SKIN, WASH AFFECTED AREA WITH SOAP
AND WATER. IF LIQUID CONTACTS EYES, FLUSH EYES THOROUGHLY WITH WATER. REMOVE
SOLVENT-SATURATED CLOTHING. IF VAPORS CAUSE LIGHT-HEADEDNESS, GO TO FRESH
AIR. IF LIQUID IS SWALLOWED, DO NOT TRY TO VOMIT. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
• WHEN HEATED, HOT FLUID MAY CAUSE BURNS. AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT FLUID. IF
SKIN CONTACTS HOT FLUID, FLUSH AFFECTED AREA WITH COLD WATER FOR 10 MINUTES.
SEEK MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY.
NOTE: • Be sure that all connections are tight to prevent air leaks.
• The smallest ID of tubing recommended for use is 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).
• Tubes must be kept to minimum length.
(1) Set up fuel injector (Figure 510) for flow check.
(2) With the inlet pressure set at 65.5-66.5 psig (452-459 kPa), record the
downstream pressure. Air pressure downstream limits are as follows:
* * * FUEL INJECTORS PN 5051T35G01/G05 AND 5066T92G01
• 37.0-41.5 psig (255-283 kPa)
* * * FUEL INJECTORS PN 5066T92G02/G03/G07
• 48.0-54.0 psig (331-372 kPa)
* * * FOR ALL FUEL INJECTORS
(3) If the flow limits are not within limits, clean the injectors (73-00-00,
CLEANING) and flow-check again. If still out-of-limits after cleaning, replace
the injector.
