Field Expedient RepairsOperational troubles may occur while the pumpingunit is operating in the field, where supplies and repairparts are not available and normal remedial actioncannot be performed. When this condition exists, theexpedient remedies listed below may be used only uponthe decision of the unit commander. Equipment sorepaired must be removed from operation at the earliestpossible moment and properly repaired before beingplaced in operation again.TroubleExpedient remedyAir cleaner clogged ...........Remove the air cleaner (TM5-2806-209-12).CautionOperating the unit in sandy ofdusty areas without the air cleanercan cause serious damage to theengine.Fuel strainer clogged.........Remove the element (TM 5-2805-209-12).Temperature safety switch Disconnect the electricaldefective.Wire from the oil pressureswitch and tape the ends(TM5-2805-209-12).CautionDo not operate the pumping unitlonger than necessary without thetemperature safety switch. Shoulda low oil pressure conditiondevelop, serious damage to theengine may result.Section IV. RADIO INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION41. General Methods Used To Attain ProperSuppressionEssentially, suppression is attained by providing alow-resistance path to ground for stray currents. Themethods used to attain suppression include shielding theignition and high-frequency wires, grounding the framewith bonding straps, and using capacitors and resistorswhere necessary. For general information on radiointerference suppression, refer to TM 11-483.42. Interference Suppression Componentsa.Refer to figure 11 for the location, removal,and installation of radio interference suppressioncomponents.b.To correct faulty radio interferencesuppression, remove the suppression components andsubstitute with new ones until the defective componentis found.c.Always replace suppression components withidentical parts.30
