GENERAL
This procedure contains information and instructions to keep the LME power distribution box in good
working order by inspecting and replacing the handle, cord grip, side strap assembly, or the entire power
distribution box.
Lethal voltage is present when the power distribution box is connected to
a power source. Disconnect the power source before affecting any
repairs to the box. Serious injury to personnel or death may result from
touching any component under power.
INSPECT
Inspect the power distribution box housing (1) and handle (2) for damage. Check the side strap (3) for
presence and condition. Open cover (4) and check latch (5) for proper operation. Visually inspect inside
of power distribution box for cleanliness and corrosion. Notice condition of circuit breakers (6), power
receptacles (7), and light switch (8). Refer a power distribution box with damaged or inoperative circuit
breakers, receptacles, or light switch to direct support maintenance. Inspect the 25 foot (9) and the 10
foot (10) extension cords for cuts or damaged ends.

Replace a frayed or otherwise damaged side strap assembly (3) as required.
To replace a defective handle (2), remove the self-locking hex nuts (11) and truss head screws (12)
securing handle (2) to the box (1). Retain truss head screws.
Remove old handle and place new handle into position.
Install and tighten three new self locking hex nuts (11). Install three truss head screws.
