the entire end fabric assembly.
REPAIR
If cuts or tears of less than 12 inches but more than 6 inches are noted, seams are opening, or grommets
are damaged, refer the end fabric assembly to direct support maintenance.
Repair any cuts, tears or perforations in the fabric of up to 6 inches long using the LME Repair Kit. Also
make temporary repairs to seam openings (not longer than 6 inches) and loose hardware. Replace the
hitch clip pin and holder if necessary.
Do not apply the following repair to a fabric panel of an erected LME
when it is located above working height. Strike, or lower the LME as
described in Chapter 2 to affect repairs above normal working height.
Serious injury to personnel may occur from falls.
Rips, Tears, Cuts and Perforations. To repair a rip, tear, cut or perforation in the fabric, proceed as
follows:
Clean the area surrounding the damage.
Locate the LME Repair Kit and the 3" wide adhesive tape within it. Cut a piece of this tape slightly longer
than the area to be fixed.
If the LME is in use, station another person on the inside of the panel with a flat hard surface held up to
the damaged area to provide a working surface to effect the repair.
Peel the protective backing off the tape and apply it to the damaged area.
