TM 10-4930-247-13&P
2-7. PMCS PROCEDURES - cont.
e.
The "NOT FULLY MISSION CAPABLE IF:" column in Table 2-1 tells you when your equipment is not mission
capable and why the system cannot be used.
f.
If the equipment does not perform as required, refer to Chapter 3, Section II, Troubleshooting.
g.
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404. IMMEDIATELY, report it to your
supervisor.
h.
The following are checks that are common to the entire fuel system:
(1)
Keep the equipment clean. Remove dirt, sand and debris from dry lock couplings, hose ends, gate valves
and distribution nozzles to prevent excessive wear and contamination of the fuel system. Use soap and
water to remove dirt.
(2)
Bolts, nuts and screws. Check them for obvious looseness, missing, bent or broken condition on gate
valves. If you find a bolt, nut or screw you think is loose, report it to your supervisor.
(3)
Hoses. Look for wear, damage and leaks. Make sure clamps and quick disconnect couplings are tight.
Wet spots show leaks, but a stain around a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. If a leak comes from
a loose fitting or coupling, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, report it to your supervisor.
i.
When you check for "operating condition", look at the component to see if it's serviceable.
2-8. LEAKAGE CRITERIA.
WARNING
·
To prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment, be certain all system
components are securely connected before operation to avoid fuel spills.
·
Fuel vapors are extremely flammable. Do not allow smoking within 100 feet of
the fuel servicing areas. Be certain a suitable and properly charged fire
extinguisher is available at all times.
No fuel leaks are permissible when operating the HTARS. Immediately report all leaks to your supervisor.
