HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

SCOPE. This manual contains three 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. Unit Maintenance Instructions. Identifies preventive maintenance procedures which must

be accomplished by unit level maintainers and explains what actions the unit maintainer must take

when he receives a CBPS which is not operating properly. A brief operational description of the CBPS is

also provided so that the unit level maintainer can better understand and troubleshoot the system. To

aid the maintainer in quickly locating a problem, typical operational malfunctions and corrective

troubleshooting steps are provided as well as an index of the malfunctions. Once a bad component or

assembly is identified, repair or replacement procedures which fall within the scope of unit level

maintainer are provided.

Chapter - 3. Direct Support Maintenance Instructions. Information provided in this section identifies

the troubleshooting and maintenance procedures which are beyond the scope of unit level maintainer

and which fall within the scope of direct support.

Chapter - 4. General Support Maintenance Instructions. Any component coded for General Support

Maintenance should be returned to manufacturer.

Appendixes. The various appendixes contain supplemental information related to the CBPS.

INDEXES. This manual contains indexes to help you quickly locate 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. To quickly page to the

subject matter on the cover index, a heavy black block has been provided at the edge of the page for each

indexed item and a corresponding black edge can be found on the page which contains the information. Key

subject matter is also highlighted in the table of contents. Subject matter may also be researched using the

alphabetical index located at the rear of the manual.
