TM 10-1670-299-20&P TO 14D1-2-470-2 NAVAIR 13-1-41 oils and filings by brushing and dipping in tetrachloroethylene.  When the tetrachloroethylene has dried, spray the metal item with a dry film lubricant and allow to air dry for 24 hours and put hardware back into service.  Shield adjacent fabric material when spraying dry film lubricant to prevent saturation.  Small amounts of lubricant will not damage fabric, but may cause discoloration and make fabric appear soiled. (4) Drying.  Airdrop equipment that is wet or damp will be suspended or elevated in a well ventilated room or in a heated drying room.  Item drying time may be reduced through the use of electric circulating fans.  When heat is used,  temperature  will  not  be  in  excess  of  160  F  with  preferred  temperature  at  140  F  until  the  item  is  dry.    Fabric  or wooden items will not be dried in direct sunlight or by laying an item out on the ground, except in an emergency. (5)  Airing.    Under  certain  conditions,  parachutes  and  other  airdrop  equipment  will  be  aired  to  prevent discoloration, mildew, and deterioration.  Where dampness and mildew are prevalent, airdrop equipment will be aired at frequent intervals according to the severity of the prevailing conditions.  Parachutes that have been previously packed or are unpacked, which have been subjected to conditions of dampness or mildew, will be aired for a period of at least 6 hours prior to being repacked.  Airdrop items may be aired either indoors or outdoors in dry weather.  However, fabric items will not be aired in direct sunlight.  Airing may be accomplished by suspending or elevating the applicable item(s) in a  manner  which  would  allow  entire  exposure  to  the  circulation  of  air.    Outside  facilities  used  for  the  shakeout  of parachutes may be used for the airing of airdrop equipment if weather conditions permit.  If the shakeout facilities are inadequate for airing, the applicable item(s) may be suspended or elevated at several points or by draping over suitable frame that would not inflict damage. 2-28.    LONG  TERM  STORAGE  AND  SHIPMENT.    When  preparing  ancillary  equipment  for  long  term  storage  or shipment, it must be packed to the standards of the original packing.  This is generally not accomplished by the using unit unless all original packing was retained during original unpacking and is in serviceable condition. a.  Packaqinq.  Package items for storage and shipment in accordance with AR 700-15. b.  Packing.  Pack ancillary equipment for storage and shipment in accordance with TM 38-230-1. 2-180
