1) On the 3 through 30 kW ASKs, panels can be repaired by welding or riveting new sheet metal
over rust holes. Recommend that RTV be used to seal riveted panel patches. Fiberglass may also be used.
Pound out dents when possible. Weld angle iron onto panels to repair edges. Since the ASKs are not
mandatory, repairs to the acoustic insulation are not required, unless the unit wishes to maintain the
acoustic suppression capability. There should be standard hardware available for most of the screws,
washers and nuts. Patches or new material should be CARC painted after installation.
2) On the 5 & 10 kW generator sets, if the ASKs cannot be repaired or the damage is major,
complete kits may be ordered from the supply system.
3) If three or more panels require replacement, remove the ASK from the 3, 5 or 10 kW
Generator sets unless reduced acoustic signature is critical to the Soldier mission.
4) On all ASKs, if two or less panels require replacement, new panels can be locally fabricated.
Technical drawings for the ASK components can be obtained from the CECOM. Panels may also be
available from commercial sources. Contact CECOM for additional information.
5) On the 15 & 30 kW ASKs, if two or more panels require replacement the total generator set
may be uneconomical to repair. Calculate total repair cost for repairing generator set and replacing ASK
components and compare cost with MEL. If cost is less than MEL, repair generator set.
Reports also indicate that there is an interference fit between the ASK on the MEP-701 and the engine
conversion kit that replaces the original engine with a Yanmar engine. If the engine kit must be installed
on a MEP-701, the ASK can be removed and the generator converted into a MEP-016B, or the ASK can
be modified to fit around the engine. Modifications should ensure that exhaust from the engine is ported
outside the ASK, and there is sufficient clearance around the engine to avoid engine to ASK contact and
allow for cooling airflow. The ASK can be cut and modified as required providing the key points from
above are followed: Use common sense, CARC paint finished repairs, and maintain the air seal of panels
and air flow to preserve generator set cooling.
4.7.1 The Control Box may be cleaned without removal of the electrical/electronic assemblies, except on
the 15, 30, and 60 KW TQG's, the voltage regulator shall be removed and cleaned.
4.7.2 Replace glass/plastic encased electromagnetic relays 100%.
4.7.3 Replace control cubicle and distribution box wiring harnesses on an as required basis.
Replace or clean corroded terminal lugs. Replace missing terminal lugs. Pull on any spliced
wires to test physical integrity of splice.
4.7.4 Replace hour meter 100%.
4.7.5 Replace light bulbs 100%. Panel incandescent lamps shall be green tinted in accordance with the 88-
22662 , CAGE 30554 specification.
4.7.6 On the 5 and 10 kW TQG's only: Install fuse on quad winding wire going into the voltage
regulator. See Paragraph 6.2.
4.7.7 Inspect gauges for proper operation and replace as required.
