ELO 1 Perform Operators PMCS on a 750 CFM Air Compressor and Rock Drill (Practical Exercise #1)

Safety Requirements

Hard hats must be worn at all times. Hearing protection must be worn while vehicle is running. Eye protection, gloves, and proper foot protection must be worn when operating tools. Use three points of contact when mounting or dismounting vehicle. Remove all jewelry. Use caution around moving parts.

Risk Assessment Level

Low

Environmental Considerations

Avoid unnecessary stripping and damage to vegetation and waterways. Control dust conditions and limit water erosion by dressing area at the end of each day. Avoid unnecessary equipment usage and follow established procedures for cleanup of fluid leaks. Restore site and surrounding areas as close as possible to the original ecological condition.

Special Instructions

1. Explain to the students: a. If more than one student is assigned to the same piece of equipment, students will rotate, performing all practical exercise steps. b. The practical exercise will consist of continuous practice. c. Allotted time will be equally shared between all operators.

d. All steps will be practiced in sequence. 2. Ensure the students have TM 5-3820-239-15, TM 5-3820-241-12, TM 5-4310-451-14, LO 5-3820-241-12, and student guides.
