As the Operator or Field Service Technician (FST) you must be intimately familiar with the Pre and Post
Operations Checks for the Raider 50 HP Motor. Preparing the motor for an operational period is the most
critical part of mission execution. These actions directly contribute to mission success and when ignored
will lead to reduced reliability, motor casualties, or mission failure.
Pre-Operations Checks are developed and implemented for the express purpose of assessing the
reliability of the motor prior to use, prepare the motor for use, and reduce failures of the motor during
an operational cycle or mission.
Post Operations Checks are developed and implemented for the purpose of establishing a maintenance
procedure to be conducted after each operational cycle or mission that mitigates operational stressors
placed on the motor while in use, extends service life of the motor, and improves reliability of the motor.
Formal documentation provided by Raider Outboards that details the recommended procedures for
placing the motor into and out of an operational cycle or mission.
The Pre and Post Operations Sheets allow Maintainers and Operators a written means to document
prescribed preventative maintenance checks, document operational hours and accurately capture
discrepancies.
For every operational cycle a record or log should be maintained under motor serial number that provide
Maintainers, Operators, and Service Technicians with a history of the motor.
