ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction. This chapter contains the maintenance instructions for the ESA test set. They include routine

checks, preventive maintenance services, general cleaning instructions, troubleshooting and removal and replacement

procedures.

Organizational maintenance of the test set is limited to replacement of indicator lamps and fuse.

Other

maintenance procedures must be performed at general support maintenance.

5-2.

Tools and Equipment. The tools and test equipment allocated for maintenance on the test set are listed in the

maintenance allocation chart in appendix D. There are no special tools or test equipment required for maintenance of

the test set.

5-3.

Preventive Maintenance Procedures.

a. General. Operator and organizational preventive maintenance is the systematic care, servicing, and

inspection of equipment to prevent the occurrence of trouble, to reduce downtime, and to maintain the equipment in

serviceable condition. Defects that cannot be corrected must be reported to higher category maintenance personnel.

b. Routine Checks. Routine checks such as cleaning, dusting, washing, checking for frayed cables, stowing

items not in use, covering unused receptacles and checking for loose nuts and bolts are not listed as preventive

maintenance checks or services. These are things that you should do anytime you see they must be done to maintain

equipment in serviceable condition.

c. Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services. Preventive maintenance checks of the test set are not

required. However, before operating, perform lamp test by placing TEST switch in SHORT position and press the two

momentary TEST toggle switches simultaneously. The green lamp should light.

5-4.

Cleaning.

WARNING

USE OF CLEANING SOLVENT

Adequate ventilation should be provided while using TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE.

Prolonged breathing of vapor should be avoided. The solvent should not be used near heat

or open flame; the products of decomposition are toxic and irriatatinq.

Since

TRICHLOROTRIFLUOROETHANE dissolves natural oils, prolonged contact with skin should

be avoided. When necessary, use gloves which the solvent cannot penetrate. If the solvent

is taken internally, consult a physician immediately.
