SECTION III. OPERATOR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
3-3. GENERAL. The LMS is delivered with no internally installed equipment or provisions. Operator level maintenance
and repair addresses shelter exteriors or easily accessible interior areas. Do not operate electrical equipment when
floors, ceilings, or walls show evidence of water intrusion. Notify your supervisor if any of the following conditions exist:
a.
Structural. Panel damage spans a structural member.
b.
Wall, Ceiling. and Floor Panels. Replacement of an entire wall, ceiling, or floor is required.
c.
Unauthorized Removal of Equipment. Extensive removal of equipment is necessary that is beyond the
capability of the maintenance support activity.
d.
Welding. Welding is required.
e.
Distortion of Panels. Damage to a structural member is severe enough to cause distortion of a wall, especially
an edge or corner area.
f.
Non-visible Damage Assessment. Lift eye or corner castings are damaged severely enough to indicate possible
damage to the underlying structural member.
3-4. GENERAL REPAIR PROCEDURES. General repair procedures at the operator level are limited to inspection,
cleaning and touch-up painting. The following procedures identify the operator repair procedures for the items listed in
the troubleshooting table.
3-5. INSPECTION PROCEDURES. Periodic inspections must be made by operators and maintenance personnel to
insure that any defects or hazardous conditions are detected and corrected. Those items that require frequent inspection
and maintenance to insure the operational integrity of the shelter are listed in table 2-1 and the Maintenance Allocation
Chart in Appendix B.
3-6. CLEANING PROCEDURES. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt from places that are difficult to access
otherwise. Use a mild detergent solution with water to clean interior and exterior surfaces. The exterior of the LMS
shelter can be rinsed with water to remove accumulation of dirt.
3-7. TOUCH-UP PAINTING. When required to prevent rust and corrosion, touch up small areas of damaged or chipped
paint in accordance with TM 43-0139. If large areas need repainting, notify your supervisor.
