Section II. Use-to-Use Redistribution

3-3.

General Procedures

a. Policy. The procedures listed herein may be used as guidance in establishing a more uniform policy

relative to contractual use-to-use movements of Government-owned IPE. The guidelines set forth represent a sample of

work which can be adopted to specific situations with or without modification.

b. Guidance for use-to-use movement. The following information is presented as a guide in preparing IPE for

use-to-use redistribution.

(1) Removal from production. All items scheduled for relocation and immediate placement in a production

line should be inspected by the prospective receiving activity to determine that the items are capable of performing the

assigned work. If the equipment being inspected is not suitable, it should be rejected. No requirement exists for

analytical testing to ascertain the condition code for general purpose capability.

(2) Procedures. The preparation of IPE for use-to-use movement shall be accomplished in accordance

with paragraphs 3-2b(1) through (13) along with the additional general instructions listed below.

c. General instructions. Disassembly of complete items of IPE for cleaning shall be limited to the degree

necessary to assure that critical surfaces are free of contamination. If disassembly for cleaning is required and the

degree of disassembly is such that reassembly could result in mismatch or misalignment, the machine shall not be

operated under power until assembly and inspection have been accomplished. After inspection the machine shall be

operated under power.

NOTE

The machine shall be recleaned and represerved after

being test run.

(1) All gear cases, lubricating systems and hydraulic systems shall be tested for PCB contamination. All

contaminated systems shall be drained and decontaminated by cycling and flushing with new fluids (hydraulic fluid

conforming to MIL-H-5606 or MIL-H-6083) until it meets requirements of Title 40 CFR Part 761. After decontamination,

systems shall be drained and all openings closed.
