WARNING SUMMARY
This warning summary contains general safety warnings and hazardous materials warnings that must be understood and applied during the operation and maintenance of this equipment. Failure to observe these precautions could result in serious injury or death to personnel. WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS WARNING and CAUTION statements have been strategically placed throughout this text prior to operating or maintenance procedures, practices, or conditions considered essential to the protection of personnel (WARNING) or equipment and property (CAUTION). A WARNING or CAUTION will apply each time the related step is repeated. Prior to starting any task, the WARNINGs and CAUTIONs included in the text for that task must be reviewed and understood. The following statements are general precautions that personnel must understand and apply during operation and maintenance of the Mask, Chemical-Biological: Joint Service General Purpose, Field, M50 and the Mask, Chemical-Biological: Joint Service General Purpose, Combat Vehicle, M51. Warfighters safety depends on a properly fitting facepiece. Injury or death can occur in a Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) environment if the mask does not fit properly. It is essential to conduct proper preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS). An improperly maintained or dirty mask may compromise its ability to provide you with maximum protection. Injury or death can occur without PMCS. If you have not used your mask for 30 days or more, perform all PMCS prior to using your mask. The mask is not intended for use in enclosed spaces or other areas where the air may be oxygen deficient. Do not test the mask in a closed, poorly ventilated area. The mask should be tested outdoors or in a well ventilated space. The Chemical-Biological (CB) mask has been tested and verified to protect against military CB agents, select toxic industrial chemicals, and radiological particulates. It will not act as a breathing device. Before donning and adjusting the mask, female warfighters will remove earrings, hair fasteners (hair clips, hair pins, combs, rubber bands), hair knots, buns, or braids that will interfere with the mask seal and let hair hang freely. When wearing the Ground Crew Ensemble, hair will be neatly tucked inside jacket. Facial hair could result in an improper mask fit resulting in illness or death. Ensure the mask has been properly fitted prior to combat operations to prevent extreme, abrupt motions from breaking the seal between your faceseal and your face. Contact lenses (soft or hard) may not be worn with CB Masks. Inadequate oxygen supply to the corneal surface, exposure to dust, dirt, and smoke or gas may cause serious vision loss or eye damage. Warfighters requiring vision correction are provided optical inserts for their protective masks by their unit medical facility. Do not use tissue paper or a paper towel to remove dirt or moisture from the outlet valve cover assembly, outlet disk valve or outlet valve seat. Paper may break up and lodge in the outlet disk valve area causing leakage. For each hazardous material used, a material safety data sheet (MSDS) is required to be provided and available for review. Consult your local safety and health staff concerning any questions on hazardous chemicals, MSDSs, personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, and appropriate handling and emergency procedures.
TM 3-4240-542-13&P WARNING AND CAUTION STATEMENTS Continued Filters must be changed out one at a time. The warfighter will be unable to breathe if both filters are removed from his/ her mask. Lack of oxygen for more than 30 seconds could lead to injury or death. The Warfighter must hold his/ her mask to his/ her face during filter removal and installation, to keep his/ her mask face seal from breaking. Breaking the mask face seal can allow contaminated air to enter the mask, resulting in injury or death. DO NOT remove M61 filters in a contaminated environment. The Buddy System (WP 0006 00) is the only exception to this rule. This procedure should only be accomplished if the warfighter cannot relocate to a clean environment due to mission or immediate filter malfunction Before stowing the mask, ensure that the cheek straps are not positioned below the M61 filters. Cheek straps positioned below the filters may stretch the mask causing improper chin placement; may induce buckling in the brow region causing improper seal; or may cause the cheek straps to catch underneath the filters delaying donning times resulting in illness or death
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS There are twin M61 filters used with the M50/M51 facepiece assembly for CBRN protection, one positioned on each side of the mask. The M61 filter assembly bodies are constructed from injection-molded plastic. The M61 filters contain an activated carbon media and a high efficiency particulate filter. The M61 filters provide protection from NBC agents. The M61 filters do not contain or generate hazardous materials (that is, explosive, toxic, radioactive, carcinogenic or otherwise dangerous), but must continue to be disposed of in accordance with Federal, State and Local environmental laws. FIRST AID For information on first aid, see FM 21-11 (Army). For information on treatment of chemical exposure, refer to Treatment of Chemical Agent Casualties and Conventional Military Chemical Injuries, FM 8-285 (Army), AFJMAN 44-149 (Air Force), FMFM 11-11 (Marine Corps), and NAVMED P-5041 (Navy).

OPERATOR AND FIELD MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR MASK, CHEMICAL-BIOLOGICAL: JOINT SERVICE GENERAL PURPOSE, FIELD, M50 AND MASK, CHEMICAL-BIOLOGICAL: JOINT SERVICE GENERAL PURPOSE, COMBAT VEHICLE, M51 THEORY OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL The common facepiece assembly and M61 filters are the principal operating components. Each facepiece assembly incorporates two filter mounts, left and right, positioned on either side of the mask. Each filter mount integrates a self-sealing disk valve, an inlet disk valve, the valve mounting posts and valve seats and air deflectors. The air deflectors and nosecup control the flow of air throughout the mask. The M61 filters are attached to the filter mount using a twist and lock mechanism. When the filter is attached to the filter mount, it opens the self-sealing disk valve permitting filtered air to pass through the inlet disk valve into the mask during inhalation. When the filter is removed, the self-sealing disk valve closes preventing air from entering into the mask. The filters can be installed and removed rapidly while wearing Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) or Chemical Protective Ensemble (CPE) gloves. During inhalation, the negative pressure created inside the mask opens the inlet valves and pulls filtered air into the mask. The air deflectors and nose cup guide the airflow across the eyelens to enable defogging. Air then passes through the vent in the top of the nose cup and into the warfighters respiratory tract. During exhalation, the positive pressure created inside the mask closes the inlet valves and opens the outlet valve housed in the front module main body assembly. The nose cup channels the moist expired air directly through the outlet valve to the outside environment. END OF WORK PACKAGE

GENERAL The M61 filter time patch assembly indicates when the unpackaged filter is no longer serviceable due to prolonged exposure to humid air. The time patch assembly is located on the underside of the M61 filter. Materials used in the M61 filter time patch assembly include erioglaucine ammonium salt and magnesium nitrate hexahydrate. A Toxicity Clearance has been given for erioglaucine ammonium salt and the magnesium nitrate hexahydrate mixture for use as a time patch on the outside of the M61 filter as long as these materials are fully contained in a closed cell and cannot be released. If these materials are released severe irritation to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes may result. The time patch should have a center which is white in color when the filter is first removed from its packaging. If the center of the the time patch assembly turns dark blue, the M61 filter is expired and must be replaced. It is recommended that both M61 filters be replaced at the same time. Exchange criteria for filters are based on individual service equipment directives. Refer to FM 3-11.4 (Army), MCWP 3-37.2 (Marine Corps), NTTP 3-11.27 (Navy) and AFTTP (1) 3-2.46 Air Force, Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) Protection.
WARNING

BUDDY SYSTEM FOR CHANGING OUT M61 FILTERS IN A CONTAMINATED AREA

Air Passages
Side Tabs
M61 Filter
WARNING
Filters do not decontaminate or neutralize contamination: they merely collect and contain it. Therefore, contaminated filters are hazardous. Replacing and disposing of these filters require care to prevent a hazard to personnel or spread of contamination. Contaminated filter disposal will be conducted in accordance with service directed procedures during peacetime and wartime situations.
WARNING
DO NOT remove M61 filters in a contaminated environment. The Buddy System (WP 0006 00) is the only exception to this rule. This procedure should only be accomplished if the warfighter cannot relocate to a clean environment due to mission or immediate filter malfunction.
WARNING
DO NOT remove M61 filters in a contaminated environment to fire a weapon.
WARNING
The Buddy #1 who is having his / her filters changed is responsible for ensuring that the faceseal is not broken while Buddy #2, standing directly in front of buddy #1, is removing and installing the new filters. Breaking the faceseal may result in contamination entering the mask, which could lead to serious injury or even death.
CAUTION
Buddy #2 shall ensure that his/ her gloves are decontaminated before handling new filters.

Buddy #2 opens the tray to inspect the filter seal on the underside of each new filter, taking care not to touch the seal. Filters with damaged seal should not be used.
WARNING
Filters must be changed out one at a time. The warfighter will be unable to breathe if both filters are removed from his/ her mask. Lack of oxygen for more than 30 seconds could lead to injury or death. Clear the mask after changing each filter. 4. Buddy #2 exposes the top of the new filters by discarding the top half of the tray.
WARNING
Buddy #1 must hold his/ her mask to his/ her face during filter removal and installation, to keep his/ her mask faceseal from breaking. Breaking the mask faceseal can allow contaminated air to enter the mask, resulting in injury or death. 5. Buddy #1 holds his/her mask in place with one hand at the brow area and the other hand at the chin cup area to ensure the faceseal is not broken during this procedure. 6. Buddy #1 closes eyes and takes a deep breath and holds his/her breath. 7. Buddy #2 removes a filter from Buddy #1s mask by squeezing the locking tabs and rotating the filter until the single filter alignment tab is aligned with the double alignment marking on the facepiece assembly. Buddy #2 discards the removed filter. 8. Buddy #2 grasps the new filter from the tray, aligns the single filter alignment tab with the double alignment marking on the facepiece assembly, firmly presses the filter seal into the filter mount and while applying pressure rotates the filter so the single filter alignment tab is aligned with the single alignment marking on the facepiece assembly locking the filter in place. 9. Buddy #2 visually inspects the new filter for proper installation.
NOTE
Clear mask and perform negative pressure test after changing each filter. 10. Buddy #1 places his/her hand over the outlet valve cover assembly and blows out hard to clear the mask and conducts a negative pressure test (WP 0005-15). 11.

OPERATOR AND FIELD MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR MASK, CHEMICAL-BIOLOGICAL: JOINT SERVICE GENERAL PURPOSE, FIELD, M50 AND MASK, CHEMICAL-BIOLOGICAL: JOINT SERVICE GENERAL PURPOSE, COMBAT VEHICLE, M51 INTRODUCTION TO OPERATOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
INTRODUCTION This work package provides an introduction to operator PMCS for the M50, Field and M51, Combat Vehicle masks. GENERAL The Operator PMCS table (WP 0024 00) has been provided to enable you to keep your equipment in good operating condition. The PMCS table is arranged to provide procedures for checks and services to be performed before, during, and after operation of the mask. A thorough initial inspection to include sizing, fitting, fit testing, and after use inspection is critical to ensure it is providing you with maximum protection. If you have not used your mask for a period of 30 days or more, specific checks are required in addition to the before checks to ensure that your mask is ready to be used. Shortcomings that DO NOT limit the equipment operational capability (form, fit, or function) are not noted in this TM. These minor discrepancies should be attended to and maintained to prevent them from becoming deficiencies. The following paragraphs provide information on how to use the PMCS tables. Report any malfunctions or failures on the proper service-related maintenance form. Navy personnel will use the Planned Maintenance System (PMS) requirements guidance contained in OPNAVINST 4790.4C.
NOTE
Within each section of the PMCS table, tasks are divided into those that are common to both the M50 and M51 as well as those specific to only the M51. Perform all tasks that are common and specific to your mask. INSPECTION The most detailed inspection and PMCS of your mask is accomplished after each time it is used and when it is first received. The Before, During and After PMCS checks are designed to ensure that the mask is ready for use without causing you to spend a lot of time on your mask before beginning a mission. Therefore, it is vital for your safety that you perform all the checks in the interval listed. The Before PMCS procedures ensure that all the mask parts are present and verify the most important components of the mask are operational. The During PMCS procedures check items that are most readily checked while operating the mask. The After PMCS procedures provide a detailed check of the mask to ensure that any items not performing properly are repaired prior to any additional use. In the event that you have not used your mask for a period of thirty days or more, perform all Before, During, and After PMCS prior to using the mask. This will allow you to correct any problems that may have occurred during storage.

WARNINGS and CAUTIONS appear before the applicable procedures. You must observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS to prevent serious injury to yourself or others and to prevent damage to your equipment. PMCS PROCEDURES The following paragraphs describe the information presented in each column of the PMCS table (WP 0024 00). 1. Item Number Column. Numbers in this column are for reference. Item numbers appear in the order that you must do checks and services for the intervals listed. Record any faults that you discover before, during, or after operation. You DO NOT need to record faults that you fix. 2. Interval Column. This column tells you when you must do the procedure in the procedure column. Do the Before PMCS just before you operate the mask or deploy. Do the During PMCS while you are using the mask. Do the After PMCS right after use or before you store the mask. 3. Item to Check/Service Column. This column identifies the item to be checked or serviced. 4. Procedure Column. This column gives the procedure you must do to check or service the item listed in the Item to Check/Service column. This will tell you if the equipment is ready or available for the intended mission or for operation. You must do the procedure at the time stated in the interval column. 5. Not Fully Mission Capable If: Column. . Information in this column provides a brief statement of the condition (e.g., malfunction, shortage) that would cause the equipment to be less than fully ready to perform its assigned mission.. If the procedure contains detail steps the statement shall be placed opposite the applicable step. If a check and service shows a fault listed in this column notify the next higher level of maintenance. 6. Other Table Entries. Be sure to observe all special information and notes that appear in your table. END OF WORK PACKAGE

WARNING
Do not over tighten head harness straps. If too tight they could cause head discomfort. e. Adjust cheek, brow, and temple straps.
NOTE
In cases where the nosecup obscures the warfighters vision by pressing up into the eyes, select the next size smaller mask.
NOTE
The fitting technicians eyes must be at the same level of the warfighters.
NOTE
The position of the warfighter's eyes with respect to the eyelens is the most important indicator that the mask size is correct. f. Using the eye location guide on the sizing tool, locate the bottom edge of the guide on the rubber lip at the bottom edge of the eyelens. Locate the Top of Lens mark with the top of the eyelens.
g. If the warfighters pupils are within the Correct Size zone on the guide, the mask is properly sized. h. Remove the initial fitting mask and issue the warfighter the selected mask size. Clean the sample mask for the next fitting using cheesecloth (Item 8, WP 0050 00) dampened with alcohol (Item 12, WP 0050 00) and allow to air dry before sizing another user. 2. Assist warfighter in donning selected size mask. a. Install M61 filter set onto mask (WP 0032 00). b. If fitting an M51, install the microphone and microphone adapter (WP 0012 00). c.

EQUIPMENT/USER FITTING PROCEDURES UTILIZING A SIZING TOOL, IF AVAILABLE Continued e. Have the warfighter grasp the temple straps and pull them until the mask is comfortable but tight against the face, ensuring the temple straps are above the ears and approximately parallel to the ground. Close the pivoting buckle clamp plate securing the temple strap in place. Straps should be approximately equal length when complete. Alter length of brow straps to move temple and cheek straps up or down to position correctly above and below ears. f. Have the warfighter release the mask assembly. Mask assembly should not slip down. If mask assembly slips, readjust the straps as necessary until mask assembly remains in place.
g. Check position of temple and cheek straps. Temple straps should not be cutting top of ears and should be approximately parallel to the ground. Cheek straps should not be cutting bottom of ears. 4. Inspect mask fit and adjustment to ensure: a. Recheck the position of the warfighter's eyes with respect to the eyelens using the eye location guide on the sizing tool (steps 1f through 1g ). b. Temple straps are located just above the ears of the warfighter and are approximately parallel to the ground. c. Mask assembly does not press flesh so tightly that eyes are partly closed (if so, adjust straps accordingly).
d. Bottom of mask assembly does not cut into throat (if so, move mask upwards on face). e. Skin in front of ear is not wrinkled (if so, adjust straps accordingly). f. Edges of mask are flat against the face and not rolled under (run finger inside mask seal to remove).
5. Check mask for leaks after initial fitting:

a.
Have warfighter conduct negative pressure test (WP 0005-15) by placing palms of hands over both M61 filter inlet ports and breathe in. Mask assembly should collapse against the warfighters face and remain so while holding breath. If it does, mask assembly is fitted properly. Proceed with FIT test using an approved Fit Test device (WP 0037 00 or WP 0038 00).
b. If the mask assembly does not collapse, conduct the following checks and repeat the negative pressure test (WP 0005-15) after each one:
NOTE
Only proceed to fit test when negative pressure test (WP 0005-15) is successful. (1) Check for hair, clothing, or other matter between mask assembly and warfighters face. (2) Ensure head harness is pulled down as far as possible on back of head. (3) Ensure edges of mask are flat against warfighters face and not rolled under. (4) Have warfighter check for leaks around edge of mask by feeling for incoming air on the face. (5) Correct for leaks around the edge of the mask by re-adjusting the temple (re-lock temple buckle clamp plate after adjusting) and cheek straps, as required.

EQUIPMENT/USER FITTING PROCEDURES UTILIZING A SIZING TOOL, IF AVAILABLE Continued (6) To correct for leaks at the throat or under the chin, lift mask assembly higher on face, seating chin firmly in chin cup. Adjusting temple and cheek straps may also help. (7) If mask assembly does not seal, try another size mask and repeat steps 1. through 5.b (6).
NOTE
The following step is optional and will be performed in accordance with individual service directives.
c.
With shears (item 17, WP0050 00) cut off the excess brow strap (pile portion).
6. Conduct internal drink tube fit check (WP0014 00) and adjust internal drink tube accordingly.
NOTE
Once the mask is adjusted correctly, DO NOT ADJUST the brow and temple straps again. The mask is now fitted and adjusted correctly for the warfighter. Only the cheek straps need to be loosened or tightened when donning or doffing the mask. ALTERNATIVE EQUIPMENT/USER FITTING PROCEDURES NOT USING A SIZING TOOL 1. Conduct Initial Mask Sizing. a. Visually assess the size of the user and select the most likely size mask. The majority of male users will wear a size medium, while the majority of female users will wear size small. b. Have the wearer hold the selected size mask on their face with their chin positively located in the chin cup. Pull the head harness over the warfighters head. c. Grasp the harness tab and pull down head harness as far as possible ensuring the head harness is centered on the crown of the head and the temple straps are approximately parallel to the ground. Have warfighter hold in place and tighten the head harness straps in the following order: cheek straps, brow straps then temple straps.
NOTE
The fitting technicians eyes must be at the same level as the warfighters.

ALTERNATIVE EQUIPMENT/USER FITTING PROCEDURES NOT USING A SIZING TOOL Continued
NOTE
The position of the warfighters eyes with respect to the eyelens is the most important indicator that the mask size is correct. d. The center of the pupils of the wearers eyes should ideally be just slightly above the centerline of the eyelens. If the eyes appear to be too high above the centerline, the mask is probably too small. If the eyes appear to be too low below the centerline, the mask is probably too large. If the mask appears too large or too small by this assessment, select the more appropriate size and begin again with step a. above. e. The mask should make firm contact with the face around the entire perimeter of the facepiece. The distance between the edge of the mask and the lobe of the ear is typically in the range 0.5 to 1.5 inches. If the distance is less than 0.5 inch, the mask is probably too large and gaps at the forehead and chin may be observed. If the distance is greater than 1.5 inches, the mask is probably too small and may appear to be perched on the face. f. Remove the initial fitting mask and issue the warfighter the selected mask size. Clean the sample masks for the next fitting using cheesecloth (Item 8, WP 0050 00) dampened with alcohol (Item 12, WP 0051 00) and allow to air dry before sizing another user.
2. Assist warfighter in donning selected size mask a. Install M61 filters on mask (WP 0032 00). b. If fitting an M51, install the microphone and microphone adapter (WP 0012 00). c. If required, install the vision correction assembly (WP 0033 00).
d. If fitting an M51, verify the proper hood size and install the protective hood (WP 0034 00). e. Remove brow straps from brow strap covers and loosen brow straps. f. Lift the clamp plates on the temple strap pivoting buckles unlocking the temple straps. Loosen head harness temple and cheek straps so that strap ends are completely extended.
g. Pull head harness over front of mask assembly. h. Have warfighter hold hair away from face and place chin positively in chin cup. i. Have warfighter grasp harness tab and pull head harness over head while holding mask assembly firmly against face.
3. Adjust mask assembly. a. Have warfighter hold mask assembly tightly against chin. b. Grasp the harness tab and pull down head harness as far as possible ensuring the head harness is centered on the crown of the head and the temple straps are approximately parallel to the ground. Have warfighter hold in place. c. Grasp the loose end of the cheek straps, one at a time, and pull until strap feels tight to the warfighter. Both straps should be approximately equal length when complete.

NOTE
When the brow straps are tightened and secured in the brow strap covers, note the position of the brow straps in the covers for future reference. d. Pull the brow straps until tight and secure in brow strap covers. Straps should be approximately equal length when complete. e. Have the warfighter grasp the temple straps and pull them until the mask is comfortable but tight against the face, ensuring the temple straps are above the ears and approximately parallel to the ground. Close the pivoting buckle clamp plate securing the temple strap in place. Straps should be approximately equal length when complete. Alter length of brow straps to move temple and cheek straps up or down to position correctly above and below ears. f. Have the warfighter release the mask assembly. Mask assembly should not slip down. If mask assembly slips, readjust the straps as necessary until mask assembly remains in place.
g. Check position of temple and cheek straps. Temple straps should not be cutting top of ears and should be approximately parallel to the ground. Cheek straps should not be cutting bottom of ears. 4. Inspect mask fit and adjustment to ensure: a. Visually recheck the position of the warfighter's eyes with respect to the eyelens (step 1c). b. Temple straps are above the ears of the warfighter and are approximately parallel to ground. c. Mask assembly does not press flesh so tightly that eyes are partly closed (if so, adjust straps accordingly).
d. Bottom of mask assembly does not cut into throat (if so, move mask upwards on face). e. Skin in front of ear is not wrinkled (if so, adjust straps accordingly). f. Edges of mask are flat against the face and not rolled under (run finger inside mask seal to remove).
5. Check mask for leaks after initial fitting: a. Have warfighter conduct negative pressure test (WP 0005-15) by placing palms of hands over both M61 filter inlet ports and breathe in. Mask assembly should collapse against the warfighters face and remain so while holding breath. If it does, mask assembly is fitted properly. Proceed with fit test using an approved Fit Test device. b. If the mask assembly does not collapse, conduct the following checks and repeat the negative pressure test (WP 0005-15) after each one:
NOTE
Only proceed to fit test when negative pressure test (WP 0005-15) is successful. (1) Check for hair, clothing, or other matter between mask assembly and warfighters face. (2) Ensure head harness is pulled down as far as possible on back of head.

INTRODUCTION This work package provides an introduction to Field level PMCS for the M50, Field and M51, Combat Vehicle masks. GENERAL Field level PMCS table (WP 0041 00) is performed semiannually (every 6 months). The warfighter may perform semiannual PMCS under the supervision of the individual service trained M50/M51 Field level maintenance technician. Field level PMCS ensures that the operator is conducting operator PMCS and maintaining the mask in an operable condition. Initial and mandatory fit tests will be scheduled and recorded in accordance with individual service directives.
NOTE
Within each section of the PMCS table, tasks are divided into those common to both the M50 and M51 masks as well as those specific to only the M51. Perform all tasks that are common and specific to your mask.
NOTE
Conduct a fit test and leak test of all assigned masks in accordance with service directives using an approved fit and leakage test device. INSPECTION The most detailed inspections and PMCS of the mask are performed when it is first received, after each use, semiannually, and during the initial fit test. The individual service trained M50/M51 Field level maintenance technician is involved in all inspections. This allows the field level maintenance technician to ensure that the operator is performing the required PMCS.

INTRODUCTION The Army Maintenance System MAC This introduction provides a general explanation of all maintenance and repair functions authorized at the two maintenance levels under the Two-Level Maintenance System concept. This MAC designates overall authority and responsibility for the performance of maintenance functions on the identified end item or component. The application of the maintenance functions to the end item or component shall be consistent with the capacities and capabilities of the designated maintenance levels, which are shown on the MAC in column (4) as: Field includes three subcolumns, Crew maintenance (C), Service maintenance (O), and Field maintenance (F). Sustainment includes two subcolumns, Below Depot (H) and Depot (D) The tools and test equipment requirements (immediately following the MAC) list the tools and test equipment (both special tools and common tool sets) required for each maintenance function as referenced from the MAC. The remarks contain supplemental instructions and explanatory notes for a particular maintenance function. Maintenance Functions Maintenance functions are limited to and defined as follows: 1. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or electrical characteristics with established standards through examination (e.g., by sight, sound, or feel). This includes scheduled inspection and gauging and evaluation of cannon tubes. 2. Test. To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards on a scheduled basis, i.e., load testing of lift devices and hydrostatic testing of pressure hoses. 3. Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition; e.g., to clean (includes decontaminate, when required), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, chemical fluids, or gases. This includes scheduled exercising and purging of recoil mechanisms. The following are examples of service functions:

a. Unpack. To remove from packing box for service or when required for the performance of maintenance operations. b. Repack. To return item to packing box after service and other maintenance operations. c. Clean. To rid the item of contamination.
d. Touch up. To spot paint scratched or blistered surfaces. e. Mark. To restore obliterated identification. 4. Adjust. To maintain or regulate, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper position, or by setting the operating characteristics to specified parameters. 5. Align. To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance. 6. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments of test, measuring, and diagnostic equipment used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one of which is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument being compared. 7. Remove/Install. To remove and install the same item when required to perform service or other maintenance functions. Install may be the act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position a spare, repair part, or module (component or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system. 8. Paint (ammunition only). To prepare and spray color coats of paint so that the ammunition can be identified and protected. The color indicating primary use is applied, preferably, to the entire exterior surface as the background color of the item. Other markings are to be repainted as original so as to retain proper ammunition identification. 9. Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place Replace is authorized by the MAC and assigned maintenance level is shown as the third position code of the Source, Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR) code. 10. Repair. The application of maintenance services, including fault location/troubleshooting, removal/installation, disassembly/assembly procedures and maintenance actions to identify troubles and restore serviceability to an item by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly, module (component or assembly), end item, or system.
