TM 5-3810-306-10Section III - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURESINTRODUCTIONThis section contains maintenance procedures which arethe responsibility of the operator. The operator shall beresponsible for maintaining the good running order of allfunctions and features of the Container Crane, followingthe procedures provided here. When a malfunctionoccurs that is beyond the scope of these procedures(and thus beyond your responsibility) report thatmalfunction to your supervisor to be serviced by a highermaintenance level.To ensure good running order, perform your PMCS.Consult the PMCS for guidance in determining whetheror not the crane is available for operation.ENGINE INSPECTION AND SERVICEENGINE INSPECTION1.Open engine access doors and inspect the following:a.Oil fill cap is secure.b.Oil dipstick is secure.c.All electrical wiring is secure.d.Coolant fill cap is secure.e.Evidence of oil, fuel, and coolant leaks.2.Close engine access doors and secure.AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY1.Check the air restriction indicator. If red line is low onthe scale, have Organizational Maintenance replacefilter elements.2.Inspect vacuator valve. The valve lips should beopen only when the engine is shut down, or runningat low idle speed. If the valve is turned inside out,check for a clogged air cleaner inlet. Malfunction ofthis valve does not reduce the air cleanereffectiveness, but does allow the element to get dirtyfaster and reduces serviceable life. If a valve is lostor damaged, have Organizational Maintenancereplace it with a new valve of the same part number.3.Check the air cleaner intake pipe caps and screensfor accumulation of leaves and other debris thatcould restrict air flow. Have OrganizationalMaintenance repair screens or replace caps if anylarge holes are found in the screen.4.Check mounting hardware for security to eliminatepossible vibration of intake piping. Such vibrationleads to early failure of hoses, clamps and mountingparts, and can cause hoses to slip off the connectingpipes, allowing unfiltered air into the engine airintake.5.Check hoses for cracks, chafing or deterioration, andhave Organizational Maintenance replace at the firstsign of probable failure.3-25
