This operator’s manual is for your use in operating and maintaining the 600 gallons per minute (GPM) pumping assembles Model 609-A (NSN 4320-01-184-7494) , Model 609-C (NSN 4320-01-261-6470), and Model US636HCCD-1 (NSN 4320-01-201-6937). The pumping assemblies are illustrated in Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3. This manual covers general information needed by the operator, descriptions of the pumping assemblies, functional descriptions of how the pumping assemblies work, operating instructions, and operator maintenance instructions for the equipment. The pumping assemblies are used in the Tactical Water Distribution Equipment System (TWDS) Set 10-mile Segment. In the TWDS, the pumping assemblies are used as the lead pumping station and up to a maximum of five boost pumping stations. The pumping assemblies may also be used singly or in combinations in other applications requiring water pumping capability of up to 600 GPM at Up to 350 feet total discharge head (TDH) . 1.2 MAINTENANCE FORMS AND PROCEDURES. Department of the Army forms and procedures used for equipment maintenance will be those prescribed by DA PAM 738-750 (The Army Maintenance Management System (T-S)) (Maintenance Management UPDATE). 1.3 CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC). Corrosion prevention and control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in future items. While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials may be a corrosion problem. If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report. Use of key words such as “corrosion, ” "rust," "deterioration," or “cracking” will ensure that the information is identified as a corrosion problem. The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 738-750. 1.4 DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE. Destruction of Army materiel to prevent enemy use shall be in accordance with TM 750-244-3. 1.5 EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATION (EIR). If your pumping assembly needs improvement, let us know. Send us an EIR. You, the user, are the only one who can tell us what you don’t like about your equipment. Let us know why you don’t like the design or performance.
