3.2 USER LEVEL TROUBLESHOOTING
The primary purpose of troubleshooting is to identify and diagnose the most
frequent field level equipment malfunctions, investigate probable causes, and
apply corrective actions where possible and required.
The table below lists the common malfunctions that an operator may
experience during the operation or maintenance of the RMSAL and its standard
kit accessories. Maximum success in diagnosing a problem and applying
a corrective action is derived from performing the tests, inspections, and
corrective actions in the order listed.
This manual cannot list all of the possible malfunctions that may occur, nor all
tests, inspections, and corrective actions that may be available at a higher level
of maintenance and logistics support. If a malfunction is not listed or is not
corrected by the corrective actions listed below, it may require escalation to a
higher authority within the unit or transfer to a more sophisticated maintenance
and repair level.
