TM 9-6115-624-BD
(1)
procedures in this manual if a "quick-fix" is possible.
(2)
the standard TM if the best repair is covered in the system TM, or
(3)
a higher maintenance level if access to devices or materials to do the quick-fix are available only at
those levels.
b.
Procedure Content. Each procedure:
(1)
contains general information about the problem.
(2)
lists materials and/or tools required other than those commonly available to the crew, MT, and MST (If
the listed items are not available, improvise. Anything that will do the job is acceptable.).
(3)
lists the estimated number of persons needed and the estimated time required to complete the repair.
(4)
states the operational limitations caused by the repair action before experiencing further
damage/degradation to the generator.
(5)
the third is assessment of where and how to repair the damage.
(6)
provides other expedient options you can use depending on the availability of personnel, materials,
tools, and/or time (this does not include standard maintenance procedures or recovery).
c.
Procedure index. Following each assessment procedure is an index of the procedures contained in that
chapter. If you know exactly what your problem is you can use the index to find the proper expedient repair procedure.
d.
Additional Data. Additional data is contained in the Appendices.
(1)
expendable supplies which are recommended for use to implement various BDAR repairs.
(2)
(3)
2-4. Assessment Process. The assessment procedures are structured using the logic process shown in figure 2-1.
a.
Procedure Sequence. All assessment procedures follow the sequence:
(1)
visually inspect (repair, if necessary).
(2)
functionally test (repair, if necessary) and,
(3)
assess the performance.
The field fixes will enable the crew to continue operations in some cases, but will usually be most useful to the MT/MST
for scheduling and accomplishing fix-forward repairs and assessing combat capabilities for reporting to commanders.
