2-2.6 Operation of Power Plant with Minor Leaks.
CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakage (Class I or II) of any fluid
except fuel. Fluid capacity must be considered before deciding to continue
operation of the equipment with minor leaks. When operating with Class I or II
leaks, fluid level must be checked more often than required by the PMCS Table.
Parts without fluid will stop working and/or cause equipment damage.
a.
Consider the equipment’s capacity for the fluid that is leaking. If the capacity is small, the
fluid level may soon become too low for continued operation. If in doubt, notify your supervisor.
b.
Check the fluid level more often than required in the PMCS Table. Add fluid as needed.
2-2.7 Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC). CPC of Army material is of continuing concern. It is important
that any corrosion problems with the power plant be reported so that the problem can be corrected and
improvements can be made to prevent the problem in the future items. While corrosion is typically associated
with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual
cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials may be a corrosion problem. If a corrosion problem is
identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report. Use of key words such
as “corrosion,” “rust,” “deterioration,” or “cracking” will ensure that the information is identified as a CPC problem.
The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA Pam 738-750.
2-2.8 Order in Which PMCS Will be Done. Figure 2-2 shows the order in which you are to perform
your PMCS. The figure shows the AN/MJQ-42 Power Plant, which is similar to the AN/MJQ-43 Power Plant
except for the stowage rack, cable reel, and antenna mast mounts and supports, which the AN/MJQ-43 does not
have. The number call outs on Figure2-2 correspond to the numbers in the Item No. Column of Table 2-2.
