UNIT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Maintenance instructions in this section will list resources required, and equipment condition for start of

procedure, except as noted below:

Personnel required are listed only if the task requires more than one.

CAUTION

The collapsible tank and berm liner must be empty before performing

maintenance on these units. Be careful when walking on fabric.

Gravel and sand on the bottom of boots will damage fabric.

The normal standard equipment condition to start a maintenance task is collapsible tank and berm

liner drained and empty. Equipment condition is not listed unless some other condition is required.

PERSONNEL SAFETY

To ensure safety of personnel, proper care should be used when handling assemblies and parts.

Many assemblies are heavy. The assistance of additional personnel, lifting devices or other support

equipment may be required to move or position heavy items.

Personnel must remove all items of jewelry (rings, bracelets, watches, necklaces, etc.) and loose

clothing before working on the equipment. Jewelry and loose clothing can get caught in equipment

and result in damage to equipment or injury to personnel.

When performing maintenance on the collapsible fuel tank, keep in mind that the purpose of the

equipment is to store liquid fuel. Cleaning fluids, lubricants, preservatives, paint or other chemicals

must not be allowed to contaminate the fuel.

Operate the equipment after performing maintenance to ensure repairs have been performed correctly

and equipment can be returned to service.

PROPER EQUIPMENT

Obtain proper equipment before beginning maintenance. This includes hand tools and/or special tools,

receptacles for storing small parts and expendable materials required by the maintenance task.

Maintenance of the collapsible fuel tank system is limited to replacement and repair. Replacement

consists of turning the equipment in at the proper supply point and then requisitioning a replacement unit.

Repair is accomplished by replacing components that make up the system.
