SECTION IV. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
2-9. UNUSUAL ENVIRONMENT/WEATHER. The LMS shelters are designed for operation in all weather conditions,
however, certain environmental conditions dictate special inspection requirements. Shelters located along coastal areas
are subject to salt air deterioration. Beaches and desert areas are subject to wind driven sand and/or coral dust. These
conditions result in a minimum of a weekly inspection requirement of the LMS to ensure a timely determination of
maintenance and repair needs. Additional requirements for operation under unusual conditions may be found in the end
item technical manual.
2-10. FORDING AND SWIMMING. The LMS is mounted on the HMMWV and is subject to the same constraints as the
vehicle. Fording and swimming data may be found in Operator's Manual for M1037 Utility Truck (HMMWV) TM9-2320-
280-10.
2-11. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES. Any damage to the LMS shelter must be patched immediately to prevent water
intrusion. In an emergency, any kind of tape or water resistant material may be used to cover a puncture or a large hole.
Temporary patches must be replaced with permanent patches as soon as possible. This is especially true for the LMS as
RFI/EMI integrity is lost whenever the shelter is punctured.
