The Troubleshooting Procedures (WP 0010 00) contain a table that lists the malfunctions, tests or inspections, and corrective
actions required to return the TQG to normal operation. The operator troubleshooting procedures cannot list all possible
malfunctions or tests and inspections required for corrective action. If a malfunction is not listed or is not corrected by the
listed corrective actions, notify maintenance.
The WP 0010 00 INITIAL SETUP outlines what is needed for the task as well as certain conditions that must be met before
starting the task. Don't start a task until the following conditions exist:
1. You understand the task.
2. You understand what you are to do.
3. You understand what is needed to do the work.
4. You have the things you need.
WP 0010 00 Troubleshooting Table 1 has three columns: MALFUNCTION, TEST OR INSPECTION, and CORRECTIVE
ACTION. Note that the malfunctions are also listed in the Malfunction/Symptom Index (WP 0009 00).
MALFUNCTIONs are numbered in sequence and are to be performed in the order in which they appear.
TESTs OR INSPECTIONs are steps you take to isolate the malfunction. Each test or inspection has a corrective action.
These are the "if" statements that tell you what to do when the malfunction is not fixed.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONs are actions intended to correct the problem. If the problem cannot be identified or corrected,
report the problem as follows: (US Army) report all deficiencies, including deficiencies that appear to involve unsatisfactory
design, on DA Form 5988-E, automated form in the Unit Level Logistics System (ULLS), generated Equipment
Maintenance and Inspection Worksheet. When no automation is available, use DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and
Maintenance Worksheet). Both forms serve the same purpose. Air Force report all deficiencies on SF Form 368.
