3. Pressure Sensitive Safety Walk Installation
(PIR-PPS45010, Rev. F.)
Pressure sensitive safety walk (i.e. - non-skid) is installed on the right wing root, right inboard flap end,
and the top of the boarding step to provide a secure non-slip path to the cabin door.
A. Surface Preparation
(1) Allow newly painted surfaces to dry a minimum of 2 hours prior to applying the safety walk.
(2) If the paint becomes contaminated, remove the contamination with clean dry rags or paper
wipers moistened with MIL-S-18718 Safety Solvent.
(3) Prior to applying the safety walk, wipe the applicable surface with a clean dry cloth, ensuring
that no moisture remains on the surface.
B. Application Procedure
(1) Do not apply when surface temperature is below 50°F.
(2) Peel back the full width of the protective liner leading edge approximately two inches.
(3) Adhere the leading edge of the safety walk to the forward edge of the area being covered.
(4) Remove the remaining protective liner as the safety walk is being adhered from front to back.
(5) Roll firmly with a long handled cylindrical brush in both lengthwise directions.
(6) Seal all edges of the safety walk with “3M Company Safety Walk Edge Sealing Compound”
(P/N 914-055) or “Flex-Tred Edge Sealer” (P/N 688-440). Position the bead with half the bead
