Hydraulic Lines and Fittings. Look for wear,
damage, leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings are
tight. Wet spots show leaks, of course, but a stain
around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. If a leak
comes from a loose fitting or connector, report it to
Organizational Maintenance. If something is broken or
worn out, report it to Organizational Maintenance.
21-2.3. Fluid Leakage
It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects
the status of the fuel, lubricating, coolant, and hydraulic
systems.
The
following
are
definitions
of
the
types/classes of leakage you need to know to be able to
determine the status of your equipment. Learn, then be
familiar with them and REMEMBER --WHEN IN DOUBT,
NOTIFY YOUR SUPERVISOR!
CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable
with minor leakages (Class I or II)
except fuel.
Of course, consideration must be
given to the fluid capacity in the
item/system
being
checked/inspected. When in doubt,
notify your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or II
leaks, check fluid levels more often
than required in your PMCS.
Class III leaks should be reported to
your supervisor or to Organizational
Maintenance.
a.
Class I. Seepage of fluid (as indicated by
wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form
drops.
b.
Class II. Leakage of fluid great enough to form
drops but not enough to cause drops to drip from item
being checked/inspected.
c.
Class III. Leakage of fluid great enough to form
drops that fall from the item being checked/inspected.
