4.5.1.4 Fuel system slope check. To determine conformance to 3.4.4, the vehicle shall be placed on specified grades and slopes, and engine operated and observed for functional requirements.

4.5.1.5 Fuel and hydraulic line check.

4.5.1.5.1 Fuel line check. To determine conformance to 3.4.4.2, the fuel system shall be pressurized with filtered air at a pressure of 3 to 4 psi prior to engine installation and checked for leaks at the fittings and fuel tank seals by applying soapy water or equivalent. The system shall be evacuated until a vacuum of 30 inches of water is attained.

4.5.1.5.2 Hydraulic system check. To determine conformance to 3.4.4.2, the hydraulic system shall be wiped clean and dry, system operated, and the lines and fittings checked for droplets (see 6.5).

4.5.1.6 Heater fuel feed check. To determine conformance to 3.4.4.4 with pressure inspection equipment installed at the heater, and all pumps operating as specified, fuel pressure at the personnel heaters shall be as specified.

With the hatch in a closed position, the force required to lock the driver hatch cover shall be measured by inspection equipment at the end of the locking lever and shall be as specified. The driver escape hatch shall be checked by attaching force inspection equipment to the handle at point specified, releasing the hatch, and noting the force required. Caution shall be exercised in making the escape batch check by assuring that the area under the hatch is free of personnel and equipment before releasing the handle.

4.5.1.10 Loader and commander hatch check. To determine conformance to 3.4.8.5, attach a force gage to the locking latch and measure the force required to unlock the latch.
