Vacuum loose sand and gravel from behind ribs in forward nose landing gear door - Both sides of the fuselage, all the way back to the empennage - Both left and right wheel wells and the systems within the areas – struts, gear components, panels, lights, exposed chrome, conduits, and all other exposed components. Vacuum loose sand and gravel from rib areas in the main landing gear wheel wells - All four engines – external turbine, clamshell doors, external cowlings and panels, propeller blades, spinners, spinner afterbodies, and all other exposed areas not identified - Wing underside – aileron push pull rod, flaps (inner and outer), flap wells to include flap tracks, jack screws, hydraulic and fuel lines, and all other exposed components, armpit panels, leading edges, flap top side – all exposed brackets, ski n, panels and all other exposed areas not identified - Aircraft underside – panels, gear doors, radomes, antennas, and all other exposed areas and components not identified - Ramp – external - Doors – aft cargo, troop, emergency, and crew entrance - Empennage – elevators, trim tabs, panels, skin; horizontal stabilizer; to include upper fuselage, and upper and lower wings along with all other exposed areas and components not identified WORK REQUIREMENTS 1. Contractor wash systems shall be equipped with a hot water pressure wash machine capable of supplying a minimum of 3000 PSI at 4 GPM with 300 plus feet of high-pressure hose.
