EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

0002 00-1

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.

The major components of the tent fabric sections are identified in Figure 0002 00-1, and described in the

following paragraphs.

End Panel (1) - Two end fabric panels made of flame resistant, mildew resistant polyester duck enclose

the ends of the structure. These attach with grommets and becket lacing, to the large intermediate fabric

panels. A hook and pile wind flap covers the becket lacing, making the joint weather- proof.

Intermediate Section (2)- Two large rectangular fabric panels, made of flame resistant, mildew resistant

polyester duck, make up the bulk of the LME enclosure. The panels are secured together using built-in

grommets and becket lacing. A hook and pile wind flap covers the becket lacing, making it weather

proof. The fabric is coated white on the inside for maximum light distribution and green on the outside for

low visibility.

Extension of Length (3) - The fabric extension of length is made of the same flame resistant, mildew

resistant polyester duck material as the intermediate and end fabric panels. Its purpose is to connect the

intermediate sections of two completed LMEs. The extension of length is available as an additional item.

Windows (4) - Two rectangular windows are built into each intermediate fabric section. Each window

consists of a screen section for ventilation and a clear plastic section secured by hook and pile fasteners.

The clear plastic provides light while maintaining weather security. A roll - down exterior curtain which is

part of the intermediate fabric section covers each window section, making them weather-proof and light

secure.

Ducts (5)- Three ducts are built into each intermediate fabric section near ground level. The two large

ducts can be used to provide heating or ventilation and the small duct for external power cable access.

The ducts can be closed using tie straps to make them weather-proof and light secure.

Vehicle Access Door (6) - A large vehicle access door is built into each end fabric panel. This door is

attached to the door header track, allowing the upper section of the door to slide. The door can be

secured in the open position using buckles that are attached to the end fabric panels. When closed, the

vehicle access door is weather-proof and light secure.

Personnel Access Door (7) - A smaller personnel access door is also built into each end fabric panel.

This allows access into the structure without opening the large vehicle door. The personnel access door

is secured with hook and pile fasteners, making it weather- proof and light secure.

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS (Cont’d) 

The Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure (LME) frame sections are made of aluminum components and

assemblies. These are secured by means of turn-and-lock mechanisms or attached quick release pins.

No special tools are required to erect the LME. These components, together with the power distribution

box and light set are illustrated in Figure 0002 00-2 and described in the following paragraphs.

Upper Arch Assembly (1) - The upper arch assembly forms the ridge of the structure. It folds for

storage and has a built-in ridge post for securing the grommet of the intermediate fabric panel.

Lower Arch Assembly (2) - The lower arch assembly forms the eave section of the structure. It plugs

into the lower end of the upper arch assembly and is secured with the attached quick release pin. The

hinged portion has a built-in eave post for securing the eave grommet on the intermediate and end fabric

panels. 

Lower Leg Assembly (3) - The lower leg assembly plugs into the lower end of the lower arch assembly

and is secured using the attached quick release pin. The foot pad has a stud which is pressed into the

ground to help stabilize the structure.

Purlin Assembly (4) - The Purlin Assemblies are made of tubular aluminum approximately 96 inches

long and 11⁄2 inches in diameter. “U” shaped brackets are riveted near each end of the purlin. These

provide a hinge point for the folding braces which lock the purlin to the arch frame assembly. At the end

of each folding brace is a rotating shackle which is inserted into a matching hole in the arch frame

assembly.

Door Header Assembly (5) - The door header assembly is used to strengthen the arch frame assembly

and to mount the vehicle access door. It is secured using the attached quick release pins.

Cable Header Assembly (6) - The cable header assembly is made from stranded steel cable with steel

fittings at the ends. It is used to strengthen the remaining arch frame assemblies and is secured with

quick release pins.

Sider Assembly (7) - The sider assemblies add strength to the eave sections of the structure. The upper

slotted end of the sider is installed over the pins on the arch frame assembly and the sider is swung

outward. When the holes in the sider align with the holes in the arch frame assembly, it is secured with

the attached quick release pin.

Power Distribution Box (8) - The box is mounted on the frame structure and brings external power into

the LME. The power distribution box contains a lighted switch which controls the light string. Four ground

fault protected convenience outlets have separate circuit breakers. A 25 foot extension cord is provided

to connect the lights to the Power Distribution Box. A 10 foot extension cord is provided for the use of

power tools by personnel. 

Lights (9)- Four fluorescent lights (9) are provided with the LME. Each light consists of a fluorescent

bulb mounted in a reinforced plastic tube with a molded cap and cable assembly at each end. The lights

are suspended, one to each bay, using the eight light support straps (10) provided.

LIGHTWEIGHT MAINTENANCE ENCLOSURE (LME) 0003 00

THEORY OF OPERATION

0003 00-1/2 blank

THEORY OF OPERATION

The LME is a self contained, portable enclosure intended to accommodate wheeled and tracked vehicle

field maintenance operations. It is a frame supported enclosure that can be erected without the use of

special tools. A system of guy ropes and tie-downs enhances structure stability in high winds. Access to

the structure is gained through a vehicle door as well as personnel door at each end. 

The fabric is coated white on the inside to enhance light distribution and woodland green or desert tan on

the outside for camouflage and low visibility. The structure, when properly closed, is light secure and

weather-proof. Duct connectors incorporated into the side walls near ground level allow heating or air

conditioning duct attachment as required, or can be closed when not used.

Windows on each side of the structure can be opened for ventilation, leaving a screen in place, or can

have a clear plastic section installed using hook and pile fasteners to admit daylight. A fabric cover on

the outside of each window can be rolled down and secured using hook and pile fasteners to maintain

light security.

The modular design of the LME permits complexing of multiple structures to accommodate a variety of

operational requirements and uses such as staging areas or as emergency shelter in disaster relief

operations.

The frame structure consists of lightweight components that are locked together using attached quick

release pins and turn-and-lock mechanisms. The components fold for storage and shipping in the

transport covers provided. The arch frame assemblies consist of upper arch, lower arch and lower leg

subassemblies that are locked together using attached quick release pins. The header and sider

assemblies provide lateral strength to the frame assemblies. 

Purlins are used to space the arch frame assemblies apart. As each frame assembly is erected, the

purlins are used to join them into self standing bays. The structure is completed when all the bays are

standing. Door header assemblies are used at each end of the structure and cable header assemblies

are used on the frame assemblies in the middle of the structure. Sider assemblies provide strength to the

eave sections of the arch assemblies.

Four fabric panels enclose the LME. Two large intermediate fabric panels form the roof section and are

held together using becket lacing and hook and pile wind flaps for security. Two end fabric panels

enclose the ends of the structure and provide access through vehicle or personnel doors. The vehicle

access doors can be secured open using buckles provided in the fabric panels.

External electrical power is provided to the LME through a power distribution box which is mounted on

the frame structure. The distribution box contains a lighted switch to control the string of fluorescent

lights that provide interior lighting. Four ground fault protected convenience outlets for power tool use

have separate circuit breakers. The fluorescent lights are secured to the structure using straps provided.

OPERATION IN UNUSUAL ENVIRONMENT/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Precautions can be taken to lessen the effect of unusual and potentially dangerous weather or other

environmental conditions. The following steps are designed to prevent damage to the LME and avoid

possible injury to personnel.

High winds. During operation in windy conditions:

* Check that all guy lines are in place, taught, and securely staked.

* Close and secure all doors and windows.

* Ensure bottom of intermediate and end fabric sections are staked securely to the ground.

* Check steel pins in the frame assembly feet for security.

* Frequently check tent pins and guy lines. 

CAUTION

The LME should not be operated with one end closed and one open.

This causes a “wind sock” effect and can cause damage to the structure.

Rain/Wet Climate. During operation in rain and in wet climates:

* Close and secure all doors and windows.

* Repair known leaks in the fabric sections before heavy rains using the LME repair kit. (Refer to

Appendix A).

* Keep guy lines relatively loose to allow for shrinkage due to dampness, unless high winds are also

expected.

* Check the condition of the power distribution box frequently. If box is wet due to leaks, disconnect

power. 

* To minimize the effects of potential flooding, dig a trench around the LME to evacuate excess

water. 

Snow and extreme Cold.

* Remove snow from the roof using a snow rake (Refer to Paragraph 6.14). Gently push up on the

roof from inside to remove snow that may have accumulated. 

* Close and secure all doors and windows.

* When setting up the LME on snow covered ground, either remove snow or tamp it down to

provide a firm footing.

Extreme Heat. 

* Open all doors and tie them back.

* Open all windows and tie up the flaps.

Damaged or Bent Purlins.

*A ridge or eave purlin that has been damaged or bent but is still servicable should be moved to the lower

part of the structure and used as a base purlin.

MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM INDEX

0007 00-1/2 blank

MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM INDEX

The malfunction/symptom index is a quick reference index for finding troubleshooting procedures.

Associated with each symptom name is a procedure sequence number representing the starting point in

a troubleshooting sequence. Should any one symptom require more than one troubleshooting sequence

to arrive at the most likely area of investigation, the additional starting point numbers are also provided.

As the troubleshooting activity progresses through to the conclusion of a particular sequence, a reference

is made to the next logical troubleshooting sequence by procedural sequence number or by referring to

the malfunction/symptom index to locate the next failure symptom procedure. This type of activity

continues until successful fault isolation is achieved.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES.

The troubleshooting procedures contain tables listing the malfunctions, tests or inspections, and

corrective action required to return the LME to normal operation. Perform the steps in the order they

appear in the tables.

Each procedure is headed by an initial setup. This setup outlines what is needed as well as certain

conditions which must be met before starting the task. DO NOT START THE TASK UNTIL:

You understand the task

You understand what you are to do

You understand what is needed to do the work

You have the things you need

This manual cannot list all malfunctions that may occur, or all tests or inspections and corrective actions.

If a malfunction is not listed or is not corrected by listed corrective actions, notify unit maintenance.

GENERAL INFORMATION.

If any circuit breaker on the power distribution box activates after having been pushed in, notify unit

condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems. Unit personnel are to do the PMCS

jobs as shown in the PMCS table. PMCS are done every day the LME is operated, using the PMCS

table. Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be

hurt. A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.

Before you begin using the LME, do Before PMCS

During use of the LME, do During PMCS

After using the LME, do After PMCS

Once a week, do Weekly PMCS if the LME has been in use

Do Monthly PMCS once a month if the LME has been in use

If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it using troubleshooting and/or maintenance

procedures.

The right-hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the LME not fully mission capable.

Write up the faults not fixed on DA Form 2404 for direct support maintenance. For further information on

how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.

If tools required to perform PMCS are not listed in procedures, notify your supervisor.

INSPECTION

Look for signs of trouble. Senses help here. You can feel, smell, hear, or see many problems that can be

eliminated before they get worse. Inspect to see if items are in good condition. Are components correctly

installed and secured? Is any damage to the fabric or frame components visible ? Correct any faults or

notify unit or direct support maintenance.

There are some common items to check on the LME. These include the following:

* Fabric sections, including windows, vehicle, and personnel doors.

* Frame sections, including attached hardware and quick release pins/lanyards.

* Lights, including power cords.

* Power distribution box, including circuit breakers, receptacles, switch, and power cord

* Transport Covers and Bags

LUBRICATION SERVICE INTERVALS

There are no lubrication requirements for the LME. 

CLEANING

Proper cleaning of the LME components is an integral part of maintenance. It can help prevent possible

problems in the future, so make it a habit to clean all LME components whenever necessary. The fabric

sections must be dry before being stored. Clean all LME fabric components with a brush and mild soapy

water, then let fabric air dry.

perforations and open seams in LME fabric panels, and replacing components of the power distribution

box. Procedures for machine stitching are provided in the following paragraphs. Specific tentage repair

procedures are provided in FM 10-16. Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A

WARNING means someone could be hurt. A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.

MACHINE STITCHING

All stitching, except bartacking shall conform to FED-STD 751. Type 301 and 401 stitching requires 5-8

stitches per inch. Bartacking shall be 1/8 inch in with and free of thread breaks and loose stitching.

Thread Breaks. Thread breaks in stitching shall be overstitched not less than 1 inch at each break on

stitch type 301, and not less than 1 1⁄2 inch at each break on stitch type 401. Thread breaks in type 401

may be overstitched with stitch type 301. Thread breaks noted during inspection must be repaired by

overstitching the existing stitching starting from the distance of 1 inch beyond the break. The ends of

repair stitching are not required to be backstitched.

Stitching Ends. The ends of type 301 stitching shall be overstitched not less than 1 inch except where

ends are turned under in the hem or held down by other stitching. Where 301 stitchings performed

automatically on stitch patterns such as box , box with cross stitch, “W” stitching, or straight line tacking,

at least three tying, overlapping, or back stitches shall be used to secure the ends of stitching.

Skipped Stitches. Two or more consecutively skipped stitches occurring in type 301 stitching shall be

overstitched not less than 1 inch. Any skipped stitches in type 401 stitching shall be overstitched not less

than 1 1⁄2 inches. Skipped stitches in 401 stitching may be overstitched with type 301 stitching. Skipped

stitches noted during inspection shall be repaired as specified for thread breaks, above.

AUTOMATIC STITCHING

Automatic stitching machines may be used to perform any of the required stitch patterns provided the

requirements of the stitch pattern, stitch per inch, size and type of thread are met, and at least three or

more overlapping, tying or backstitches secure the ends of the stitching.

INTRODUCTION.

The Army Maintenance System MAC

This introduction provides a general explanation of all maintenance and repair functions authorized at

various maintenance levels under the standard Army Maintenance System concept.

The MAC (immediately following the introduction) 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:

Unit - includes two subcolumns, C (operator/crew) and O (unit) maintenance

Direct Support - includes an F subcolumn

General Support - includes an H subcolumn

Depot - includes a D subcolumn

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 (immediately following the tools and test equipment requirements) contain supplemental

instructions and explanatory notes for a particular maintenance function.

Maintenance Functions

Maintenance functions will be limited to and are defined as follows:

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.)

Test. To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical

characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards

Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition, i.e. to clean

(includes decontaminate, when required), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants,

chemical fluids, or gases.

Adjust. To maintain or regulate, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper or exact position, or by

setting the operating characteristics to specified parameters.

Align. To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum performance. 

Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made, or to be adjusted on instruments, tests,

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.

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 function of the

equipment.

Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place. “Replace”

is authorized by the MAC and is shown as the 3rd position code of the SMR code.

Repair. The application of maintenance services, including fault location/troubleshooting,

removal/installation, and 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.

NOTE

The following definitions are applicable to the ‘repair’ maintenance

function:

Services-Inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, and/or replace.

Fault location/troubleshooting-The process of investigating and detecting

the cause of equipment malfunctioning; the act of isolating a fault within

a system or Unit Under Test (UUT).

Disassembly/assembly-The step by step breakdown (taking apart) of a

spare/functional group coded item to the level of its least component,

that is assigned an SMR code for the level of maintenance under

consideration (i.e. identified as maintenance significant).

Actions-Welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, machining, and

or resurfacing,

Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely 

serviceable/operational condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical

publications (i.e., DMWR). Overhaul is normally the highest degree of maintenance performed by the

Army. Overhaul does not normally return an item to like new condition.

Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to a

like new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of

material maintenance applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to

INTRODUCTION.

Scope

This section lists COEI and BII for the LME to help you inventory items for safe and efficient operation of

the equipment.

General

The COEI and BII information is divided into the following lists:

Components of End Item (COEI). This list is for information purposes only and is not authority to

requisition replacements. These items are part of the LME. As part of the end item, these must be with

the end item whenever it is issued or transferred between property accounts. Items of COEI are removed

and separately packaged for transportation or shipment only when necessary. Illustrations are furnished

to help you find and identify the items.

Basic Issue Items (BII). These essential items are required to place the LME in operation, operate it, and

to do emergency repairs. Although shipped separately packaged, BII must be with the LME during

operation and when it is transferred between property accounts. Listing these items is your authority to

request/requisition them for replacement based on authorization of the end item by the TOE/MTOE.

Illustrations are furnished to help you find and identify the items.

Term Definition

Becket Lacing A lacing procedure used to join the fabric panels

together. The procedure requires aligning the

sewn in grommets of one fabric panel with the

sewn-in becket laces of another panel. Each lace

is pulled through the corresponding grommet as

well as the preceding lace loop. Becket lacing is a

strong but flexible method of attachment that

helps mitigate the effects of wind and load stress

on the fabric panels.

Door Header The door headers are used to suspend the

vehicle access doors and incorporate a curtain

mechanism.

Cable Header These are used to provide lateral rigidity to the

frame upper arch assembly.

Siders The sider assemblies enhance structural stability

of the frame arch assemblies.

Purlin A horizontal member of the frame that connects

the arch frame assemblies together and provides

structural stability.
