HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

SCOPE. This manual contains four chapters, identified as follows:

Chapter - 1.

Introduction. This chapter is to introduce you to the Chemical Biological Protective

Shelter (CBPS) System and its major assemblies and components. It also provides general information on

maintenance forms, storage and shipment, warranty, and corrosion control. Since many terms may be new

to you, a list of abbreviations and commonly used terms associated with the CBPS is provided.

Chapter - 2.

Operating Instructions. This chapter identifies the controls and indicators that you,

the operator, must know to operate the system. Operator preventive maintenance checks and services are

also provided in this chapter so that you can keep the CBPS mission ready. The preventive maintenance

procedures are arranged numerically so that they can be performed before you leave on mission (mobile

mode), after you get to the operating location and set up (static mode), and after striking the system and

before you are ready to return to your unit (mobile mode). This chapter also provides step by step procedures

for operating the CBPS under different modes of operation and unusual conditions such as snow, high winds,

and heavy rains.

Chapter - 3.

Operator Maintenance Instructions. Provides lubrication instructions and explains

what actions you must take when a problem occurs and what maintenance functions you must perform.

Chapter - 4.

Entry and Exit Procedures for the CBPS. Provides instruction on the proper entry and

exit procedures to keep the inside of the CBPS free of contamination.

Appendixes.

The various appendixes contain supplemental information related to the CBPS.

NOTE

No general support maintenance is required in support of the CBPS.

INDEXES. This manual contains indexes to help you quickly locate the subject matter. Since it is realized

that certain portions of the manual will be used more than the rest, an index of these key subject areas has

been provided on the cover and includes such topics as preventive maintenance checks and services,

troubleshooting procedures, and maintenance procedures for each level of repair. Subject matter may also be

researched using the alphabetical index located at the rear of the manual.
