ARMY TM 10-1670-275-23&P AIR FORCE TO 13C5-25-2 NAVY NAVAIR 13-1-26 2.12.  Cleaning and Drying (cont). f.  Equipment Immersed In Fresh Water.  Any air delivery equipment that has been immersed in a fresh water lake, river, or stream will not require rinsing unless it has been ascertained that the water is dirty, oily, or otherwise contaminated.  Procedures for handling a fresh water immersed item are as follows: (1)    Contaminated  fresh  water.    If  air  delivery  equipment  has  been  immersed  in  contaminated  fresh water, rinse, dry, and, if applicable, repair the item(s).  Rinse the item(s) as follows: (a)  Place the parachute assembly in a large water-tight container filled with a suitable amount of fresh, clean water to cover the assembly. NOTE If  the  water-soaked  parachute  assembly  is  too  large  to  be  placed  into  a rinsing container, then the rinsing process will be effected by applying fresh, clean water to the assembly using a hose. (b)  Agitate the container contents by hand for 5 minutes. (c)  Remove the parachute assembly from the container and suspend or elevate it in a shaded area,   allowing   a   5-minute   drainage   period.      Do   not   attempt   to   wring   the   fabric   or   the suspension lines. (d)    Repeat  the  procedures  In  steps  (a)  through  (c)  above,  twice,  using  fresh,  clean  water  for each rinse. (e)  After the third rinse, allow the parachute assembly to drain thoroughly.  Upon completion of draining, dry the assembly in accordance with procedures In c , above. (f) When dried, perform a technical/rigger-type Inspection of the parachute assembly.  Corroded metal components, or corrosion-stained fabrics or suspension lines, will be either repaired or replaced as prescribed by the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) in Appendix B. (g)  Record any repairs, immersion and rinsing In the NOTES page of the parachute log record (figure 2-6). (2)  Uncontaminated fresh water.  If air delivery equipment has been immersed in uncontaminated fresh water,  item(s)  will  be  cleaned  and  dried  as  outlined  in  this  paragraph.    Minor  discoloration  of  fabric  items resulting from Immersion in uncontaminated fresh water may occur.  No attempt should be made to eliminate a minor  discoloration  as  a  slight  discoloring  is  preferable  to  employing  vigorous  techniques  that  may  damage fabric.  Small stains caused by petroleum products or blood will be removed using spot-cleaning procedures In a or b., above. 2-16
