GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS DESCRIPTIONS


Failure to follow the warnings below can result in damaged equipment and serious injury or death to personnel.
FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT
Volatile materials must not be brought aboard, electrical circuits must not be energized, fuel tanks must not be
topped off, and engines must not be started before firefighting equipment is available and operative.
All personnel must be evacuated from the engine room before the engine room fire suppression system is discharged.
FUEL/FUELING
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine(s) is(are) running. Provide metallic contact between the fuel container and
the fuel tank to prevent a static spark from igniting fuel.
Diesel fuel is volatile. Diesel fumes can be explosive. Observe NO SMOKING rules when refueling.
Fuel oil and other petroleum products are highly volatile in extreme heat. To minimize the possibility an explosion,
wipe up all spills at once, see that fuel lines and valves are not leaking, and pump bilges regularly.
Never use a blow torch or other similar means for heating fuel or oil lines.

TM 55-1905-242-14
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS DESCRIPTIONS (continued)
BATTERIES
Do not smoke or use open flame in the vicinity of servicing batteries as hydrogen gas, an explosive, is generated.
WELDING AND CUTTING
When cutting with a torch, or when welding, always station fire watches, ready with fire extinguishers, in the
vicinity on both sides of the plate that is being cut or welded.
Prior to cutting or welding on the ramp, remove the drain plugs on both sides of the ramp and check to see if the ramp
interior is primer coated. If primer coated, flush the void thoroughly with steam, carbon dioxide, or water. Do not
reinstall the drain plugs until the cutting and/or welding operation is completed. Failure to take this precaution may
result in explosion of accumulated primer vapors.
ELECTRICITY
Electricity can cause injury or death to personnel. Do not work on live circuits. Lock out and tag out circuits in
accordance with FM 55-502 and warn other personnel not to energize the circuits.
Do not be misled by the term low voltage. Potentials as low as 50 volts may cause death under adverse conditions.
Never work on electrical equipment unless there is another person nearby who is familiar with the operation and
hazards of the equipment and who is competent in administering first aid. When the technician is aided by operators, he must warn them about dangerous areas. Whenever possible, the input power supply to the equipment must
be shut off, locked out, and tagged out before beginning work on the equipment. Take particular care to ground
every capacitor likely to hold a dangerous potential. When working inside the equipment, after the power has been
turned off, always ground every part before touching it. Do not operate the equipment without all grilles, guards,
louvers, and covers in place and tightly secured.
ENGINE ROOM
The diesel engines and various other equipment are excessively noisy. Serious hearing loss or deafness could occur
if this equipment is operated without proper hearing protection. Hearing protection must be worn at all times in the
engine room when the engines are running. Unprotected and unnecessary personnel must keep out of the engine
room.
Be sure engine room ventilators are open and ventilation fans are operating whenever the engines are operating.
The engine exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. Breathing
air with carbon monoxide produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of muscular control, a sleepy feeling, and
coma. Brain damage or death can result from heavy exposure. Precautions must be followed to insure crew safety.
Be alert at all times during vessel operation for exhaust odors and exposure symptoms. If either is present immediately ventilate the compartment. The field protective mask for Nuclear-Biological-Chemical (NBC) protection will
not protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning. The best defense against carbon monoxide poisoning is good
ventilation. If symptoms persist, remove the affected person to fresh air, keep warm, do not permit physical exercise,
and, if necessary, perform rescue breathing. For rescue breathing instructions, refer to FM 4-25.11.
COMPRESSED FLUIDS
Before attempting to remove any compressed air system lines or components, relieve the air pressure from the
system.
Before disconnecting a line in the hydraulic system, bleed the pressure from that portion of the line.
Wear eye protection when using compressed air to blow parts clean. Compressed air used for cleaning purposes
must not exceed 30 lb/in (2.1 bar).

Only properly trained personnel may enter confined spaces, or act as supervisors and/or attendants for
those working in confined spaces. Before entering a confined space, the space must be cleared for entry
and a Confined Space Entry Permit must be secured. All entry into confined spaces must be in accordance
with the Organizational Confined Space Entry Standard Operating Procedure and FM 55-502. Entry into an
uninspected confined space can result in serious injury or death.

THEORY OF OPERATION
PROPULSION SYSTEM
PROPULSION ENGINES
Two Detroit Diesel 12V71 engines power the LCM-8 Mod 2 propulsion system. Each engine has 12 cylinders arranged in
a V configuration. Engine rotation is right hand (flywheel rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the rear) for both
engines. The propulsion engines power the following components:
1.
2.
3.

Marine transmissions that propel the vessel.


24 Vdc alternators that provide ships power when the propulsion engines are operating (see WP 0005 00).
Hydraulic pumps for the steering, starting, bilge, ramp, and crane systems (see WP 0006 00).

Engine speed is controlled by a dual function control head, located in the pilothouse console. The control head lever
actuates the engines governor lever by means of a double acting cable assembly. The engines governor, in turn, controls
engine speed throughout a preset range. The governor also acts to prevent the engine from exceeding a preset speed.

Two Twin Disc MG-514C marine transmissions transmit the engines rotating power to the propellers. The transmissions
allow shifting between forward, neutral, and reverse. The transmissions have a 2:1 reduction ratio. A power takeoff is
mounted on top of each transmission to drive the bilge/ramp/crane hydraulic pump.
The marine transmissions also facilitate counterrotation of the propellers. Although both propulsion engines are right hand
rotation, good marine engineering practice dictates that the starboard propeller should be left hand rotation while the port
propeller is right hand rotation. The internal gearing of the marine transmissions permits this counterrotation.
Refer to TM 5-2815-231-14 for further information on the marine transmissions.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM


The propulsion engines are cooled by a mixture of water and ethylene glycol antifreeze. This mixture of water and antifreeze protects against freezing, overheating, and corrosion. A 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water will
freeze at -34 F (-36.7 C), which is significantly lower than the freezing temperature of water alone. The same 50/50 mixture
has a boiling point of up to 276 F (135.6 C), depending upon cooling system pressure. Ethylene glycol antifreeze also
contains additives that help prevent corrosion of cooling system components.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

The engine coolant is circulated through the closed loop cooling system by an engine-driven centrifugal water pump. As the
coolant circulates through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engines cylinder block, cylinder heads, exhaust manifold
surfaces, and from the engine oil and the marine transmission oil. After circulating through the engine, the coolant passes
through a keel cooler that is longitudinally recessed in the hull between frames 25 and 31. As the coolant circulates through
the keel cooler, the heat absorbed from the engine is transferred to the raw water outside the hull. After the coolant has
passed through the keel cooler, it reenters the engine through a swing check valve to begin the cooling cycle again.
Engine coolant temperature is regulated by thermostats mounted in the propulsion engines. These thermostats regulate
coolant temperature by controlling the flow of coolant through the system. When the coolant is cold, it is recirculated
through the engine cooling passages without passing through the keel cooler. When the coolant reaches operating temperature, a portion of the coolant is circulated through the keel cooler for cooling. Flow through the keel cooler will vary
depending upon many variables, including coolant temperature, raw water temperature, and engine load conditions.
The engine cooling system has an expansion tank mounted on the engine room bulkhead directly forward of the engine. The
expansion tank allows coolant expansion and contraction and allows access to the system for filling and/or resupplying the
system.

ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM


Each propulsion engine has an exhaust system that quiets the exhaust and discharges it to the atmosphere. The exhaust
system contains two marine mufflers per engine. The exiting exhaust gases are cooled by raw water injected into the top of
the mufflers by an engine-driven raw water pump. As the raw water mixes with the exhaust gases, the exhaust gases are
cooled, and contract. This contraction helps to quiet the exhaust. The mufflers discharge overboard through the side of the
hull between frames 35 and 37, port and starboard.
Flexible connections at the exhaust manifold and expansion joint connectors at the hull connection isolate the exhaust
system from engine vibration and allow expansion and contraction of the system as it heats and cools.
The exhaust piping from the engines to the mufflers is insulated with three inches of thermal glass fiber installed in three, 1"
layers in accordance with MIL-I-16411. Type II insulation over the flanges is removable to allow repair of the system.

After exiting the raw water pump, the water enters the fuel cooler where it cools the diesel fuel exiting the engine. From the
fuel cooler, the water is directed to a T fitting where it may travel either to the mufflers or to the overboard discharge valve.
The overboard discharge valve is used to control the amount and rate of raw water flow through the fuel coolers and the
mufflers. As the overboard discharge valve is opened, raw water flow through the mufflers decreases. As the overboard
discharge valve is closed, raw water flow through the mufflers increases. Raw water entering the mufflers is discharged
through the exhaust ports with the exhaust gases.
Raw water for priming the bilge pumps is taken from the raw water pump outlet prior to entering the fuel cooler. Flow of
water into the bilge pumps is controlled by the priming valve located near the raw water pump.

PROPELLERS AND PROPELLER SHAFTS


Each marine transmission output flange is coupled to a 2-1/2 inch Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRES) propeller shaft. The
propeller shafts transmit the rotating energy from the marine transmissions to the propellers.
The propellers exit the hull through stern tubes located between frames 37 and 39, port and starboard. Each stern tube is
fitted with a stuffing box that provides a watertight seal for the propeller shaft as it passes through the hull. Heavy duty hose
and hose clamps secure the stuffing boxes to the stern tubes.

THEORY OF OPERATION
FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL TANKS
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is equipped with two fuel tanks located in the lazarette, port (1) and starboard (2), aft of bulkhead 39.
Each tank has a capacity of 432 gallons (1635.3 liters). The fuel tanks store all of the fuel necessary to operate the propulsion engines and the diesel generator.
FUEL LINES AND PIPING
Both rigid and flexible fuel lines are used in the LCM-8 Mod 2 fuel system. Rigid lines are used where piping runs are long
and where equipment vibration and movement are not a concern. Flexible lines are used in areas where equipment vibration
and movement might damage rigid lines.
Four types of lines are used in the LCM-8 Mod 2 fuel system. Fuel fill pipes direct fuel to the proper tank(s) during fueling
operations. Fuel vent pipes vent the fuel tanks to allow for varying fuel levels within the fuel tanks. Fuel supply lines carry
fuel to the engines. Fuel return lines return unburned fuel back to the tanks.
FUEL VALVES
Several types of valves are contained in the LCM-8 Mod 2 fuel system. Fuel suction valves (3) secure the flow of fuel from
the fuel tanks. Fuel supply valves (4) are used to secure the flow of fuel to their respective engines. Return fuel is secured
by the fuel return valves (5). Fuel fill valves (6) direct the flow of fuel into the appropriate tank(s) during fueling operations.
By properly positioning the fuel valves, the operator can determine which tank(s) supply fuel to the engines, which tank(s)
receive return fuel from the engines, and which tank(s) are filled. Fuel drain valves (7) allow draining of the fuel tanks when
necessary.

FUEL FILTERS AND SEPARATORS


All fuel exiting the fuel tanks is purified by fuel filters and fuel filter/water separators. The engine-mounted fuel filters are
covered in TM 5-2815-231-14.
Each engine is provided with a Racor 1000 FG fuel filter/water separator assembly. This assembly separates water from the
diesel fuel and performs primary filtration. Final filtration is performed by the engine-mounted fuel filters. The Racor 1000
FG fuel filter/water separators use separation, coalescing, and filtration to remove water and contaminants. The fuel filter/
water separator contains a turbine centrifuge that separates solids and free water from the fuel through centrifugal
separation. After separation, smaller water droplets and solids coalesce on the fuel filter/water separators conical baffle and
fall to the collection bowl. After coalescing, the fuel passes through a filter before exiting the fuel filter/water separator. The
filters water repelling media removes nearly 100% of the water from the fuel and removes particles as small as 2 microns.
The generator engine is provided with a Racor 120 fuel filter/water separator. The unit has a spin-on filter element and a
reusable collection bowl. The filter element is a water repelling media that removes nearly 100% of the water from the fuel and
removes particles as small as 30 microns.

FOR LANDING CRAFT, MECHANIZED (LCM-8) (ALL VESSELS WITH MOD 2 APPLICATION)
THEORY OF OPERATION
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GENERAL
The LCM-8 Mod 2 has two alternating current electrical systems (110 Vac and 220 Vac) and two direct current electrical
systems (12 Vdc and 24 Vdc). The electrical systems supply all of the electrical needs of the LCM-8 Mod 2.
The alternating current electrical systems are both single phase systems. The 220 Vac (Volts alternating current) system has
two power sources. Power may be derived from the diesel generator or from an outside power source via the shore power
receptacle and the shore power cable. The 110 Vac system receives its power from the diesel generator and from transformers powered by the 220 Vac system.
The direct current electrical systems are two-wire isolated ground systems. A 24 Vdc (Volts direct current) system supplies
many of the lighting, communication, and accessory systems on board the LCM-8 Mod 2. This power is supplied by
dedicated battery banks, by a battery charger, and by propulsion engine-driven alternators depending upon the operating
conditions. Certain communication systems require 12 Vdc power. These systems are supplied by 24 Vdc to 12 Vdc
transformers. The generator starting system also requires 12 Vdc power. This power is supplied by a dedicated battery that
is recharged by an alternator mounted on the diesel generator.
Foldout sheets FO-1, FO-2, FO-3, and FO-4 contain wiring diagrams for the LCM-8 Mod 2 electrical system.
ALTERNATING CURRENT POWER SUPPLY
Diesel Generator
A Northern Lights M-844L diesel generator supplies power to the 220 Vac and 110 Vac electrical systems when the vessel is
underway or when shore power is otherwise unavailable. Both 220 Vac and 110 Vac outputs are available directly from the
diesel generator. With the diesel generator running, the LCM-8 Mod 2 is completely self-sufficient with respect to electrical
power even with both propulsion engines secured.
Shore Power
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is provided with a shore power receptacle and shore power cable that provide a 220 Vac single-phase
power supply to the vessel from a pierside power supply or from another vessel. When connected to shore power, the LCM-8
Mod 2 is completely self-sufficient with respect to electrical power, even with both propulsion engines and the diesel
generator secured.
Alternating Current Transformers
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is provided with two alternating current transformers that transform 220 Vac to 110 Vac. The first
transformer, located near the communications rack, supplies power to the data terminal, the parallel port printer, and the serial
port printer. A second transformer, located in the engine room, powers the microwave oven and the 110 Vac receptacles
located in the galley area.
DIRECT CURRENT POWER SUPPLY
Battery Charger
When the diesel generator is running, or the vessel is connected to shore power, 24 Vdc power is supplied to the vessels
systems by the battery charger. The battery charger transforms 220 Vac to 24 Vdc. The battery charger has a maximum
output of 100 amps and can charge the battery bank and power vessel systems simultaneously. When the vessel load is less
than 100 amps, the remaining charger capacity is available for battery charging.

0005 00-1

TM 55-1905-242-14

0005 00

Propulsion Engine-Driven Alternators


When the propulsion engines are running, 24 Vdc power is available from the propulsion engine-driven alternators. Each
propulsion engine has one alternator rated at 110 amps maximum output. Because the propulsion engines are started
hydraulically, the full output of these alternators is available for vessel service loads. When the propulsion engines are
running, and 220 Vac power is available, 24 Vdc power is supplied by both the propulsion engine-driven alternators and by
the battery charger.
24 Vdc Battery Bank
Under unusual conditions, 24 Vdc power is supplied by two dedicated battery banks located in the starboard wing wall
outboard of the accommodation module entry ladder. Each battery bank consists of two 12 Vdc, 8D batteries connected in
series to supply 24 Vdc power. These battery banks provide power to the vessels 24 Vdc electrical systems under the
following conditions:
1.
2.

When the propulsion diesel engines are secured (no engine-driven alternator output) and no 220 Vac power supply is
available (no battery charger output).
When system load temporarily exceeds the capacity of the battery charger and/or engine-driven alternators.

12 Vdc Battery
A single 12 Vdc battery supplies power to the starting and operating systems of the diesel generator. This battery is
recharged by a generator engine-driven alternator.
Generator Engine-Driven Alternator
A single 12 Vdc alternator is mounted on the diesel generator. This alternator supplies power to charge the generator
engines 12 Vdc starting battery and to operate the generators systems and accessories while the generator is operating.
ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION COMPONENTS--ALTERNATING CURRENT AND DIRECT CURRENT
All of the LCM-8 Mod 2s electrical systems contain one or more of the following components.
Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers provide protection against overload on electrical circuits. When the load on a circuit exceeds the circuit
breakers rating, the circuit breaker trips, causing an interruption of service for that circuit. This interruption of service
ceases all electrical flow in the circuit and prevents fire or other damage associated with an overload condition. All of the
circuit breakers on the LCM-8 Mod 2 are manual-resetting, meaning that the circuit breaker remains in the tripped condition until it is manually reset. Circuit breakers may also be used both to secure electrical circuits for service and during normal
operation.
Fuses
Fuses provide protection against overload on electrical circuits. When the load on a circuit exceeds the fuses rating, the fuse
blows, causing an interruption of service for that circuit. This interruption of service ceases all electrical flow in the circuit
and prevents fire or other damage associated with an overload condition. Once a fuse blows, it must be replaced before
the flow can be restored to the circuit. A fuse may also be removed to secure an electrical circuit for service.
Switches
Many of the LCM-8 Mod 2s electrical systems are controlled by switches. When in the closed, or ON, position, the switch
permits current to flow in the circuit, activating the switched device. When the switch is in the open, or OFF, position, the
switch interrupts current flow in the circuit, deactivating the switched device.
Distribution Box
Distribution boxes are located throughout the vessel. The distribution boxes house the circuit breakers and fuses that
control and protect the circuits throughout the vessel.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
GENERAL
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is provided with three separate hydraulic systems. One system operates the starting system for the
propulsion engines, another operates the steering system, and the last operates the bilge pumps, bow ramp, and crane.
Each system has its own pumps, filters, piping, and controls. The hydraulic steering system has its own reservoir, while the
starting system shares a partitioned reservoir with the bilge/ramp/crane system.
PROPULSION ENGINE HYDRAULIC STARTING SYSTEM
General
This systems sole purpose is to start the propulsion engines. The system consists of a reservoir, two engine-driven pumps,
one hand pump, two pairs of accumulators, two control valves, two starting motors, and several valves, filters, and gauges.

Reservoir
The propulsion engine hydraulic starting system shares a partitioned reservoir with the bilge/ramp/crane system mounted on
bulkhead 39, centerline, in the engine room. The propulsion engine hydraulic starting system uses the port side of the
reservoir, which is completely isolated from the starboard side of the reservoir. There is no intermingling of hydraulic oil
within the reservoir. Each side of the reservoir has its own fill and its own level indicator.
The reservoir is used to store hydraulic oil for use in the propulsion engine starting system. A sufficient volume of oil is
stored to allow normal operation of the system. In addition, the oil volume is large enough to allow the oil to remain in the
reservoir, where it may be cooled by ambient air circulation.
Engine-Driven Hydraulic Pump
Each propulsion engine is equipped with a hydraulic pump that runs continuously during engine operation. The pumps
automatically recharge the accumulators. When the required pressure is attained in the accumulators, a valve within the
pump body opens, and the hydraulic oil is circulated back to the reservoir. Depending upon the position of the isolation
valve, a single pump can charge one or both pairs of accumulators.
Hand Charging Pump
A hand charging pump is provided to permit charging of the hydraulic accumulators when the propulsion engines are not
running. This pump is used when the accumulators have been blown down for service, when repeated failed starting
attempts leave the accumulators depleted, or when the accumulators have otherwise lost their charge.
Accumulators
Two pairs of hydraulic accumulators store hydraulic pressure for later use. The accumulators are mounted on bulkhead 39,
one pair on each side of the reservoir. The accumulators use dry nitrogen gas to maintain the charge pressure. They may be
recharged with either the engine-driven hydraulic pump(s) or with the hand charging pump. Under normal operating
conditions, the starboard accumulators power the starboard starting motor, and the port accumulators power the port
starting motor. System operating pressure is 3250 lb/in (221.0 bar)
Control Valve
Each propulsion engine has a solenoid-actuated control valve that controls the flow of hydraulic oil to the hydraulic starting
motors. The valve is closed in its resting state. When actuated, the control valve allows hydraulic oil under pressure to flow
to the hydraulic starting motor. Under normal conditions, the control valve is actuated when the operator presses the
pushbutton engine starting switch in the pilothouse. Under unusual conditions, the control valve may be manually actuated
by pressing the manual start button on the valve.

Starting Motor
Each propulsion engine has a hydraulic starting motor. The starting motor rotates the engine until the engine starts. The
starting motor is equipped with a retractable starter drive that extends to engage the flywheel when the starter is engaged,
and retracts from the flywheel when the starter is disengaged.
Blowdown Valve
A blowdown valve is mounted on top of the reservoir. This valve allows the pressure to be relieved from the accumulators
for service. When the blowdown valve is opened, the hydraulic pressure that is stored in the accumulators is allowed to vent
harmlessly to the reservoir.
Relief Valve
Two relief valves are installed in the hydraulic starting system. The valves are both mounted on top of the reservoir and
protect the system from damage caused by overpressurization. The relief valve setting is 3400 lb/in (234.4 bar). When
system pressure exceeds the relief valve setting, the excess pressure is vented harmlessly to the reservoir.
Isolation Valve
An isolation valve, located near the hand pump, isolates the two sides of the hydraulic starting system. When the isolation
valve is closed, the port and starboard hydraulic starting systems operate independently from one another. In this configuration, the port engine-driven pump charges only the port accumulators, and the port accumulators power only the port
starter motor. The same is true for the starboard side of the system. When the isolation valve is open, both sides of the
hydraulic starting system work together. In this configuration, either engine-driven pump may charge either pair of accumulators and either pair of accumulators may power the starter motor for either engine.
Hand Charging Pump Valve
The hand charging pump valve, located on top of the hand charging pump, isolates the hand charging pump from the
propulsion engine hydraulic starting system to protect it from damage. Under normal conditions, the valve is in the closed
position, isolating the hand pump from the system. The valve is open when the hand pump is in use.
Accumulator Valve
Each accumulator is equipped with a valve, allowing the accumulator to be isolated from the hydraulic starting system. When
the valve is closed, no hydraulic pressure is available from the accumulator to the system. When the valve is open, hydraulic
pressure is available.
Suction Valve
A single suction valve, located at the bottom of the reservoir secures the flow of hydraulic oil from the reservoir to the
hydraulic pumps. The valve is closed only for service. At all other times, it must remain open to prevent damage to the
pumps.
Gauge Valve
Each of the four accumulator gauges has a gauge valve to isolate the gauge from the system. The valve may be open or
closed, depending upon the operating condition. When the valve is open, the gauge reads accumulator pressure. When the
valve is closed, the gauge reads the pressure last seen before closing the valve.
Inline Filter
A high pressure, inline filter is mounted directly to each control valve. This filter removes contaminants from the hydraulic
oil before the oil enters the control valve and starting motor.

0006 00-3

TM 55-1905-242-14

0006 00

Suction Filter
A suction filter, mounted at the bottom of the reservoir near the suction valve, provides initial filtration for the propulsion
engine hydraulic starting system.
Accumulator Gauges
Four accumulator gauges, one for each accumulator, monitor hydraulic pressure within the accumulators. The gauges are
connected to the accumulator piping by flexible hoses and may be isolated from the system by closing the gauge valves. A
gauge mounted in the pilothouse console near the rudder angle indicator allows the operator to monitor starting system
pressure. When the isolation valve, located near the hand pump, is closed, the pilothouse gauge reads the pressure present
in the port side of the system. When the isolation valve is open, the pressure equalizes across both sides of the system, and
the pilothouse gauge reads this pressure.
HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM
General
The LCM-8 Mod 2 uses a hydraulic steering system to actuate the rudders, which in turn steer the vessel. The system
consists of two engine-driven hydraulic pumps, a flow divider, a helm unit, two steering cylinders, a relief valve, three check
valves, two counterbalance valves, two isolation valves, two bypass valves, two suction valves, two suction strainers, a
drain valve, a return filter, a reservoir, and a pilothouse gauge.
Engine-Driven Hydraulic Pump
Two engine-driven hydraulic pumps provide the hydraulic power necessary to operate the hydraulic steering system. Each
propulsion engine has a separate pump allowing full operation of the hydraulic steering system even with only one propulsion engine running. Each engine-driven hydraulic pump has a flow rate of 1.5 gal/min (5.7 L/min).
Flow Divider
All discharge flow from the engine-driven hydraulic pumps is routed through a flow divider which is set at 1050 lb/in2 (72.4
bar). The flow divider supplies 2 gal/min (7.6 L/min) of hydraulic oil to the helm unit throughout a wide range of pump speeds.
This constant oil flow rate permits consistent helm operation at all engine speeds. All excess flow reaching the flow divider
is returned to the reservoir through the return filter.
Helm Unit
The helm unit receives hydraulic oil from the engine-driven hydraulic pumps and directs the oil as needed to position the
rudders. When the wheel is stationary, all the hydraulic oil supplied to the helm unit is returned to the reservoir through the
return filter, and the rudders remain stationary. When the wheel is turned, the oil is discharged from the helm unit through the
counterbalance valves and isolation valve to the hydraulic cylinders, which turn the rudders. Direction of hydraulic oil flow
is determined by the direction of wheel rotation. In the event of failure of both engine-driven hydraulic pumps, the helm unit
is capable of acting as a pump to allow continued operation of the steering system.
Steering Cylinder
Two steering cylinders are used to turn the rudders. The cylinders are mounted outboard and aft of the rudder stocks, port
and starboard. The rudders and steering cylinders are synchronized by a tie rod connecting the two rudder arms.
Relief Valve
A relief valve, mounted in the line between the engine-driven hydraulic pump and the helm unit, prevents system damage
caused by overpressurization. The relief valve is set at 1000 lb/in (68.9 bar). Once the system pressure exceeds the relief
valve setting, all excess pressure is returned to the hydraulic reservoir through the return filter.

Pump Check Valve


Each engine-driven hydraulic pump has a pump check valve installed in its discharge piping. This pump check valve
prevents one pump from backfeeding into the other during conditions of pump imbalance. This unbalanced condition occurs
when only one propulsion engine is running or when the propulsion engines are operating at greatly different speeds.
Suction Check Valve
The suction check valve permits the helm unit to draw hydraulic oil directly from the reservoir when the engine-driven
hydraulic pumps are not operating. Under this condition the helm unit acts as a pump. When acting as a pump, the helm unit
uses port A (normally supplied by the engine-driven hydraulic pump) as the suction port and draws hydraulic oil from the
reservoir through the suction check valve. When the engine-driven hydraulic pumps are supplying pressure to port A, the
suction check valve prevents pump flow from returning to the reservoir (bypassing the helm unit).
Counterbalance Valve
Under most conditions the steering cylinders act to initiate rudder movement. But under certain conditions, such as when the
rudder is returning to midship following a turn, the steering cylinders must halt or slow rudder movement. Without counterbalance valves in the system, the steering cylinders would have a tendency to move uncontrollably when halting or slowing
rudder movement. The counterbalance valves prevent this uncontrolled movement by permitting cylinder movement only
when pressure is present on the return side of the cylinder. This return side pressure prevents uncontrolled cylinder movement and maintains helm control under all conditions.
Isolation Valve
Four isolation valves, two port and two starboard, are installed in the hydraulic steering system to permit isolation of a
damaged steering cylinder. The isolation valves are open during normal operation. By properly positioning the isolation
valves and the bypass valves, the LCM-8 Mod 2 may be steered in emergency conditions. Positioning of the valves for this
use is discussed in WP 0030 00. The isolation valves may also be used to isolate a cylinder for service.
Bypass Valve
Four bypass valves, two port and two starboard, are installed in the hydraulic steering system to permit emergency steering.
The bypass valves are closed during normal operation. By properly positioning the bypass valves, the LCM-8 Mod 2 may
be steered in emergency conditions with the emergency tiller. Positioning of the valves for this use is discussed in
WP 0030 00.
Suction Valve
Two suction valves, one for each pump, are mounted directly below the hydraulic reservoir. The suction valves may be
closed to allow servicing of the engine-driven pumps. At all other times the suction valves must remain open.
Drain Valve
A drain valve is located in the bottom of the reservoir. This valve permits draining of the reservoir for service. This valve
is closed and its outlet plugged during normal operation.
Return Filter
A single, 10-micron return filter is installed in the oil return line. This filter removes particulate contaminants from the
systems return oil before it enters the reservoir. The filter is of the disposable, spin-on type.
Suction Strainer
Each suction valve, one per engine-driven hydraulic pump, is fitted with a suction strainer. These strainers, mounted inside
the reservoir, remove large particulate contamination from the hydraulic oil before it enters the engine-driven hydraulic
pumps.
0006 00-6

TM 55-1905-242-14

0006 00

Reservoir
A single reservoir stores the hydraulic oil necessary to operate the steering hydraulic system. The reservoir is large enough
to allow ambient air cooling of the hydraulic oil as it rests in the reservoir.
Pilothouse Gauge
A single gauge, mounted in the pilothouse console, monitors pressure in the hydraulic steering system.
BILGE/RAMP/CRANE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
General
The bilge/ramp/crane hydraulic system powers the bilge pumps, the bow ramp winch and latches, and the crane. The bilge/
ramp/crane hydraulic system is made up of three separate hydraulic circuits that share certain common components. These
common components are the hydraulic pumps, the hydraulic diverter valves, the return filters, the suction strainers, the
pilothouse gauge, and the reservoir.
Common Components
Hydraulic Pump
Two hydraulic pumps power the bilge/ramp/crane hydraulic system. The hydraulic pumps are driven by Power Take-Off
(PTO) from the marine transmissions, port and starboard. The hydraulic pumps operate whenever the appropriate propulsion
engine is running and the PTO is engaged. All systems are capable of operation with only one hydraulic pump engaged,
although under certain conditions, operation of both hydraulic pumps will yield better system operation.
Diverter Valve
Each hydraulic pump discharges through a diverter valve. The diverter valve allows the operator to direct flow to the bow
ramp circuit or to the bilge pump circuit. Depending upon conditions, the operator may select both hydraulic pumps to the
bow ramp, both hydraulic pumps to the bilge pumps, or one hydraulic pump to each circuit. The crane is powered only by the
starboard hydraulic pump and only with the diverter valve in the RAMP position.
Return Filter
The return oil from all circuits flows back to the reservoir through duplex return filters. The filters remove particulate
contamination from the hydraulic oil before it enters the reservoir. The return filters are mounted directly above the hydraulic reservoir and use disposable cartridge type elements.
Suction Strainer
Two suction strainers, one for each hydraulic pump, are mounted inside the reservoir. The suction strainers remove large
particulate contamination from the hydraulic oil before it enters the hydraulic pumps.
Reservoir
A partitioned reservoir is mounted on bulkhead 39, centerline, in the engine room. This reservoir serves both the
starting and the bilge/ramp/crane hydraulic systems. The bilge/ramp/crane portion of the reservoir has a capacity of
75 gallons (284 liters).
Bow Ramp Circuit
General
In addition to the common components above, the bow ramp circuit consists of a pilothouse gauge, a ramp control valve, a
counterbalance valve, a hand pump, a hydraulically-powered winch, and two ramp latch cylinders.

Pilothouse Gauge
A single gauge, mounted in the pilothouse console, monitors pressure in the bow ramp circuit. The pressure in the bilge
pump and crane circuits is unmonitored.
Ramp Control Valve
A three-position, four-way valve controls the bow ramp circuit. The valve is actuated by the bow ramp handle in the
pilothouse. When the valve is in the NEUTRAL position, oil from the hydraulic pump is routed directly back to the reservoir.
When the valve is in the RAMP UP position, oil from the hydraulic pump is directed to the hydraulically powered winch,
rotating it in the inhaul direction. When the valve is in the RAMP DOWN position, oil from the hydraulic pump is directed
to the hydraulically powered winch, to the winch brake, and to the ramp latch cylinders. In this configuration, the hydraulic
pressure extends (unlatches) the ramp latch cylinders, releases the winch brake, and rotates the winch in the outhaul
direction.
The ramp control valve has an internal relief valve to protect the circuit from damage caused by overpressurization. The
relief valve is set at 2100 lb/in (144.8 bar).
Counterbalance Valve
A counterbalance valve, located inline between the ramp control valve and the hydraulically powered winch, prevents the
winch from overspeeding or freespooling during ramp lowering operation.
Hand Pump
A hand pump is installed in the circuit to permit emergency lowering of the ramp. The hand pump provides hydraulic
pressure to release the ramp latch cylinders and the winch brake when both hydraulic pumps are inoperative or in use for
bilge pumping.
Hydraulically Powered Winch
A hydraulically powered winch handles the cable that raises and lowers the bow ramp. The hydraulically powered winch is
rotated in the inhaul and outhaul directions by a hydraulic motor. The hydraulically powered winch also contains a spring
applied, hydraulically released brake assembly that prevents the winch from freewheeling.
Ramp Latch Cylinders
Two ramp latch cylinders, one on each side of the bow ramp, latch the ramp in the closed position. The cylinders are opened
with hydraulic pressure and closed by internal spring pressure. Hydraulic pressure, required to move the cylinders to the
unlatched position, is supplied from the ramp control valve when it is moved into the RAMP DOWN position.
Hand Pump Valve
A hand pump valve, installed in the piping between the hand pump and the brake release line, isolates the hand pump from
the rest of the hydraulic circuit. The valve is closed during normal operation and open only when the hand pump is used to
lower the bow ramp.
Winch Brake Valve
The winch brake valve, installed in the winch brake release line, isolates the winch brake line from the rest of the hydraulic
circuit. The valve prevents hand pump pressure from backfeeding into the rest of the bow ramp circuit when the hand pump
is used to lower the bow ramp. The winch brake valve is open during normal operation and closed only when the hand pump
is used to lower the bow ramp.

Bilge Pump Circuit


General
The bilge pump circuit consists of the common components discussed above as well as a two flow dividers and two hydraulic
pumps, which drive the bilge pumps. The port circuit may only be powered by the port hydraulic pump and the starboard
circuit by the starboard hydraulic pump.
Flow Divider
A flow divider, mounted on top of each hydraulic pump, controls the flow of hydraulic oil to the bilge pumps. The flow divider
provides a flow of 10 gal/min (37.9 L/min) to the bilge pumps. The flow control valves also contain a relief valve, set at 1500
lb/in (103.4 bar), which protects the circuit from damage caused by overpressurization.
Hydraulic Pump
Two hydraulic pumps, one port and one starboard, power the bilge pumps. The bilge pumps receive hydraulic oil from the
hydraulic pumps via the flow divider and return their oil to the reservoir.
Crane Circuit
General
The crane circuit is powered from the ramp circuit of the starboard hydraulic pump. The crane circuit consists of the
common components listed above, as well as a relief valve, a crane diverter valve, a flow divider, a control valve block, and
the cranes operating cylinders (skew, lift, jib, and extension).
Relief Valve
The relief valve, mounted on bulkhead 39, aft of the starboard marine transmission, protects the circuit from damage caused
by overpressurization. The relief valve is set at 2500 lb/in (172.4 bar). When circuit pressure exceeds the relief valve
setting, the excess pressure is relieved and routed back to the reservoir.
Crane Diverter Valve
The crane diverter valve allows the operator to select between the ramp circuit and the crane circuit for the starboard
hydraulic pump. The valve is solenoid-actuated and controlled by a switch in the pilothouse console. When the solenoid
is energized, the crane diverter valve routes the hydraulic flow to the crane circuit. When the solenoid is deenergized, the
hydraulic flow is routed to the ramp circuit.
Flow Divider
The flow divider valve delivers a constant flow of 12 L/min (3.2 gal/min) to the crane circuit. All flow in excess of this rate
is returned to the reservoir. This constant flow rate provides the optimum flow for efficient crane operation. If the flow is
too slow, efficiency is lost. If the flow is too fast, equipment can be damaged.
Control Valve Block
The control valve block is a bank of four three-position, four-way valves that control all of the operations of the crane. One
valve is provided for each of the cranes four operating cylinders. The valves are infinitely positionable and spring-returned.
When a valve is in the neutral position, hydraulic oil passes straight through the valve without being directed to the appropriate operating cylinder. When the valve is shifted away from neutral, hydraulic oil flows to the appropriate operating
cylinder. Direction of valve shift determines the direction of operating cylinder motion. Because the valves are infinitely
positionable, cylinder speed increases as valve shift increases.

0006 00-10

TM 55-1905-242-14

0006 00

Operating Cylinders
Four operating cylinders control the movement of the crane. The skewing cylinder controls skewing (turning) of the crane.
The first boom cylinder raises and lowers the cranes first boom (the section closest to the base). The second boom cylinder
raises and lowers the second boom (pivoting section furthest from the base). The extension cylinder extends and retracts the
boom extension.

Bilge Pump
Two hydraulically-driven centrifugal bilge pumps, one port and one starboard, provide emergency bilge pumping capability
for the LCM-8 Mod 2. Both pumps are located in the engine room at frame 32 port and starboard of centerline. The pumps
are powered by hydraulic pumps contained in the bilge/ramp/crane hydraulic system. Operation of this hydraulic system is
detailed in WP 0006 00.
Bilge Manifold
A single bilge manifold, located aft of bulkhead 31 centerline, is used to connect the bilge pumps with the various bilge
strainers. By properly aligning the valves at the bilge manifold, the operator can pump bilge from any of the watertight
compartments.
0007 00-1

TM 55-1905-242-14

0007 00

Discharge Valve
Two discharge valves, one above each pump, are installed in the system. The discharge valves prevent an operating pumps
discharge flow from backfeeding into an idle pump. When only one pump is operating, the discharge valve on the operating
pump is open, and the discharge valve on the idle pump is closed.
Compartment Suction Valve
Ten compartment suction valves are connected to the bilge manifold. These valves allow the operator to select which
compartment(s) will be pumped. Each of the six watertight voids has a valve, as does the engine room. The bow ballast tank
has three suction pipes, and thus three valves, to allow for rapid dewatering of this tank. During pumping operations, the
valves for wet compartments are opened and the valves for dry compartments remain closed.
Pump Suction Valve
Two pump suction valves, one below each pump, are installed in the system. The pump suction valves prevent an operating
pumps suction from drawing through an idle pump. When only one pump is operating, the pump suction valve is open for
the operating pump and closed for the idle pump.
Swing Check Valve
A single swing check valve is installed near the pumps overboard discharge fitting aft of bulkhead 31, port. The swing
check valve permits free discharge flow, while preventing raw water from entering the vessel through the overboard discharge fitting.
Bilge Strainer
Each of the six watertight voids and the engine room has a bilge strainer installed at the end of the bilge pump suction piping.
The bilge strainers prevent debris from being drawn into the suction piping where it might foul the piping or damage the
bilge pumps.
Priming Connection
Each bilge pump has a priming connection hard piped into its suction side piping. This priming connection allows the bilge
pump system to be primed by the propulsion engines raw water pump. A valve, inline between the raw water pump and the
priming connection, controls the flow of raw water into the priming connection. When the pump is being primed, this valve
is open. When the system has been primed and pumping is underway, the valve is closed.
OILY WATER COLLECTION AND PUMPING SYSTEM
General
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is equipped with an oily water collection and pumping system. The system is used for pumping oily
water from the bilge spaces, for changing lube oil in the engines, and for drawing oily waste from buckets. The oily waste
collected by this system is stored in a holding tank until it can be safely discharged to an appropriate treatment facility. The
system is composed of a waste oil pump, a waste oil tank, suction strainer, suction valves, discharge valves, a sight glass, and
a vent.
Waste Oil Pump
The waste oil pump is used to pump oil and oily waste within the oily water collection and pumping system. Depending
upon the alignment of the various suction and discharge valves, the waste oil pump can draw oil or oily water from the bilges,
from the engines and transmissions, from buckets, and from the waste oil tank. The waste oil pump can discharge to the
waste oil tank or to an appropriate treatment facility.
Waste Oil Tank
A 150-gallon waste oil tanks holds waste oil and oily water until it can be discharged to an appropriate treatment facility.
The tank is filled by the waste oil pump and is equipped with two removable cleanout plates and a sight glass.

may be removed for cleaning.
Suction Valve
Three suction valves are installed in the suction piping. These valves permit the operator to choose the source of suction.
Suction may be drawn from the bilge manifold; from the engines, transmissions and buckets via flexible hose; or from the
waste oil tank.
Discharge Valve
Three discharge valves are installed in the discharge piping. These valves permit the operator to choose the outlet for the oil
or oily water. The oil or oily water may be discharged to the waste oil tank or to a deck fitting by the waste oil pump. The
piping between the pump and the deck fitting is provided with two valves to allow discharge flow to be controlled from the
pump area or from the discharge fitting area. A fourth discharge valve, located in the suction discharge piping, controls
discharge flow when the waste oil tank is being drained by a pump from an outside facility.
Sight Glass
A sight glass is provided on the side of the waste oil tank to permit the operator to monitor the waste oil tank level. The sight
gauge is fitted with two valves, one top and one bottom, which allow the monitoring hose to be replaced when it becomes
unreadable.
Vent
The waste oil tank is provided with a vent. The vent discharges topside and the vent piping contains a T fitting that allows
oil and oily water to flow back to the bilge should the tank become overfilled.

FIRE PUMP SYSTEM


General
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is provided with a centrifugal fire pump that supplies raw water to a fire monitor mounted on the starboard
wing wall. The fire pump is also used to fill the bow ballast tank. The pump is driven by the diesel generator through an
electric clutch which allows the pump to be disengaged when not in use. Control for the electric clutch is via a switch located
in the pilothouse console.
The fire pump system is composed of a fire pump, electric clutch, suction valve, suction strainer, pressure relief valve,
ballast valve, fire monitor valve, fire monitor, and nozzle.

fire monitor.
Electric Clutch
An electric clutch is installed in the drive shaft between the diesel generator engine and the fire pump. This clutch allows the
pump to be disengaged when not needed. The clutch is controlled by a switch located in the pilothouse console. When the
switch is closed (ON), the clutch is engaged, and when the switch is open (OFF), the clutch is disengaged. Because of the
horsepower requirements of the fire pump, the diesel generator must be running in a no-load condition during pumping
operations.

Suction Valve
A suction valve is installed at the sea chest, bulkhead 31, starboard. This valve may be closed to allow servicing of the
pump, the suction strainer, or the below-the-waterline piping. During normal operations, the suction valve remains open.
Suction Strainer
A simplex suction strainer is installed inline between the suction valve and the fire pump. The strainer removes particulate
contamination from the raw water before it enters the fire pump. Because this is a simplex strainer, the fire pump system
must be shut down prior to servicing the strainer.
Pressure Relief Valve
A pressure relief valve is installed between the fire pump and the bow ballast tank and fire monitor valves. This valve opens
when system pressure exceeds 85 lb/in2 (5.9 bar) to prevent damage to the system from overpressurization.
Ballast Valve
The ballast valve is used to control the flow of raw water into the bow ballast tank. The valve is open during filling of the
bow ballast tank and closed at all other times.
Fire Monitor Valve
The fire monitor valve is used to control the flow of raw water to the fire monitor. The valve is open during firefighting
operations and closed at all other times.
Fire Monitor
The fire monitor is mounted to a platform mounted on the starboard wing wall. The fire monitor permits 360-degree rotation
of the nozzle so that the crew may direct water where it is needed, whether onboard the LCM-8 Mod 2, ashore, or aboard
another vessel.
Nozzle
A fire nozzle is mounted at the discharge end of the fire monitor. This nozzle allows the crew to control the stream of water
issuing from the fire monitor.

NAVIGATION SYSTEMS
General
The navigation systems on the LCM-8 Mod 2 allow the crew to determine the vessels position, plot the vessels course, and
make clear the vessels location to other vessels and shore facilities. The navigation system consists of navigation lights,
navigation horn, Global Positioning System (GPS), and radar.
Navigation Lights
General
The LCM-8 Mod 2s navigation lights permit other vessels to see the LCM-8 Mod 2 at night. The lights are controlled by
switches mounted in the pilothouse console. By displaying specific arrangement of lights, the operator lets other vessels
know the LCM-8 Mod 2s status (e.g. making way, anchored, towing, not under command). Operation of the lights and their

Anchor Light
The anchor light is an all-around white light, mounted at the very top of the mast.
Masthead Light
The masthead light is a white light, mounted near the top of the mast, but lower than the anchor light. The masthead light
shows a 225 degree arc from right ahead, to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam, port and starboard.
Not Under Command (NUC) Light
Two pairs of all-around red lights, mounted one above the other, make up the NUC lights. The lights are configured so that
they provide all-around illumination, despite obstruction by the mast.
Towing Light
The towing light is a yellow light, mounted on the mast above the stern light. The light shines through a 135 degree arc
extending 67.5 degrees from right aft on each side of the vessel.
Stern Light
The stern light is a white light mounted low on the mast. The light shines through a 135 degree arc extending 67.5 degrees
from right aft on each side of the vessel.
Side Light
Two side lights are provided on the vessel. The lights are mounted to the aft corners of the pilothouse top, port and
starboard. The port side light is red, the starboard side light is green. The lights shine through a 112.5 degree arc extending
from right ahead, to 22.5 degrees abaft the beam, on the respective side.
Navigation Horn
The navigation horn, mounted to the pilothouse bulkhead, starboard, is used to announce the vessels intentions and to signal
during conditions of limited visibility. The horn is powered by the 24 Vdc electrical system and controlled by a pushbutton
switch in the pilothouse.
Global Positioning System (GPS)
The global positioning system uses data received from satellites to accurately determine the vessels position and other
navigational data. The GPS is powered by the vessels 24 Vdc electrical system through the Comms Nav Aids Distribution
Box. The GPS is hand held, and when removed from its mount on the pilothouse chart table, is battery powered. When
installed into its mount, the GPS receives power from the 24 Vdc electrical system and may be interfaced with the radar, the
digital compass, and the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) radios through the interface and switch switchbox.
Radar
The radar system permits the LCM-8 Mod 2 to locate aids to navigation, land masses, other vessels, and other objects even
at night or in limited visibility conditions. The radar antenna, located on the pilothouse top, sends and receives radio beams
to locate objects, and displays its output on a display monitor located in the pilothouse. The radar may interface with the
GPS, magnetic compass, and the DSC radios through the interface and switch switchbox.
Compass
A fluxgate compass provides the coxswain with a readout of the vessels heading. The sensor for the compass assembly is
mounted on the mast, and the display unit is mounted on the pilothouse console. The compass is powered by the 24 Vdc
electrical system.

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
General
Several communication systems are installed on the LCM-8 Mod 2 that permit both internal, external, and emergency
communication. Internal communication, within the LCM-8 Mod 2, is accomplished with a loudhailer system. External
communication is accomplished with VHF/FM (very high frequency/frequency modulation) radios, SSB (single sideband)
radio, SINCGARS (single channel ground to air radio system) radio, navtex receiver, and by data transmission via modem.
Emergency communication is accomplished by the DSC radios, watch receiver, Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon
(EPIRB), Search and Rescue Transceiver (SART), and survival radio.
Internal Communication
Loudhailer
A Raytheon RAY 430 loudhailer system is installed on the LCM-8 Mod 2. The loudhailer receives 12 Vdc power from a
dedicated 24 Vdc to 12 Vdc transformer mounted under the pilothouse chart table. This system permits 2-way communication
between the pilothouse, the weather deck, and the accommodation module. The operator may broadcast to either the
weather deck or the accommodation module from the pilothouse station and may then choose to listen to those areas. No
provision is made for direct communication from the weather deck or the accommodation module back to the pilothouse.
External Communication
VHF/FM Radio
Pilothouse VHF/FM Radio
A Ross DSC 500 VHF/FM radio is installed in the pilothouse console and provides communication between the LCM-8
Mod 2, other vessels, and shore stations. The radio receives 12 Vdc power from a dedicated 24 Vdc to 12 Vdc transformer
mounted under the pilothouse chart table. VHF/FM is a line-of-sight communication method, and is, therefore, suitable
only for short range communication.
The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) feature provides distress alerting and safety calling. With DSC, a distress call can be
placed by pressing a single key. This distress call will be received by all DSC-equipped vessels in range and will sound alarms
on each one. When interfaced with the GPS, the DSC feature can automatically broadcast the vessels location along with the
distress call, making it easier for other vessels to render assistance.
In addition to its safety features, the DSC feature also permits scrambled communications between two or more DSC units.
Handheld VHF/FM Radio
Two Standard Horizon HX350S handheld VHF/FM radios are provided with the LCM-8 Mod 2. When not in use, the radios
are stored in charger/stands located in the comms rack in the accommodation module. While in their charger/stands, the
radios batteries are recharged. The charger stands receive 110 Vac power from the power strip and the 220 Vac to 110 Vac
transformer mounted near the comms rack. The handheld VHF/FM radios do not have DSC capability.
SSB Radio
Two SEA 330 HF/SSB radios are installed on the LCM-8 Mod 2. One unit is installed in the pilothouse, and the other is
installed in the comms rack. The radios share a SEA 3301 controller mounted in the comms rack and an antenna coupler/
tuner mounted on the forward corner of the accommodation module top, starboard. The radios receive 24 Vdc power from
the vessels 24 Vdc electrical system through the command & control distribution box.
A SEA 7000 MF/HF DSC controller and a SEA 7001 watch receiver are also included in the SSB radio system. The DSC
controller adds DSC capability to the SSB radio. The DSC features for the SSB radio are identical to those for the VHF/FM
radio. In addition to these features, however, the DSC controller for the SSB system can print its output to a serial printer
located on the comms rack. The watch receiver monitors all six SSB distress frequencies and alerts to any distress signals
received. The watch receiver makes it possible to monitor distress signals from non-DSC sources.

SINCGARS Radio
The SINCGARS radio provides jam resistant radio transmissions between the LCM-8 Mod 2 and other SINCGARS radios.
The SINCGARS radio is equipped with an integrated COMSEC program for secure communication. The SINCGARS radio
is powered by the vessels 24 Vdc power system through the command and control distribution box, located in the accommodation module.
Data Modem
A SEA 3000 radio telex modem is provided to allow the data terminal to send and receive data via the SSB radio. The
modem receives 24 Vdc power from the SSB radio.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
General
Several communication systems aboard the LCM-8 Mod 2 provide communication capability in various emergency situations. These systems include the DSC radios, watch receiver, EPIRB, SART, and survival radio.
DSC Radios
The DSC feature of the VHF/FM and SSB radios permits the LCM-8 Mod 2 to both send and receive distress signals. This
feature is explained in the Pilothouse VHF/FM Radio and SSB radio paragraphs in this work package.
Watch Receiver
The watch receiver can monitor all six SSB distress frequencies looking for a distress signal. Once a signal is received, the
receiver sounds an alert and can print a report if desired.
EPIRB
A SATFIND-406 EPIRB is installed on the LCM-8 Mod 2. When activated, the EPIRB sends out a distress signal at
406.025 MHz and at 121.5 MHz. The 406.025 MHz signal is picked up by satellites and relayed to a ground station. By the
process of triangulation the EPIRBs position can be positively determined. The 406.025 signal contains, among other
coded information, the unique identification number of the EPIRB which allows identification of the vessel. The 121.5
MHz signal is primarily used by SAR (Search and Rescue) forces as a homing signal. The EPIRB also contains a strobe light
to aid in visual location of the unit.
The EPIRB is battery operated and mounted in a float free mount located on the accommodation ladder bulkhead, starboard. Should the LCM-8 Mod 2 sink, the float free mount permits the EPIRB to float free from the vessel. The EPIRB
may be activated automatically or manually. Automatic activation occurs when the EPIRB is out of its bracket and afloat in
the water. Manual activation is via a switch on the EPIRB.
SART
Two SARTs are installed on the LCM-8 Mod 2. One is located in the pilothouse and the other near the accommodation
module door. The SART is designed to be carried off the LCM-8 Mod 2 and onto a life raft in the event of an emergency.
The SART provides location information to marine navigation and search X-band radar in the event of distress. When
activated, the transponder maintains "standby" mode until interrogated by radar. Each time the transponder receives a radar
pulse, it transmits a series of 12 pulses in response. On search radar, 12 equally spaced arcs are created, lined up behind the
original target echo. This clearly differentiates the SART from other targets and sea clutter.

THEORY OF OPERATION
ALARM SYSTEMS
GENERAL
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is equipped with three alarm systems. The fire alarm system alerts the pilothouse and engine room to the
presence of fire in the engine room or smoke in the accommodation module. The general alarm system is used to alert the
crew to a general alarm condition. The engine alarm system alerts the operator to dangerous engine conditions.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
General
The fire alarm system alerts the pilothouse and engine room to the presence of fire in the engine room or smoke in the
accommodation module. The system is composed of a remote alarm panel, console indicator lights, smoke detectors, fire
detectors, and a horn/strobe unit. The system is powered by 24 Vdc supplied from the control and distribution panel in the
pilothouse. Foldout figure FO-4 contains the electrical wiring diagram for this system.
Remote Alarm Panel
The remote alarm panel, mounted on the pilothouse chart table, alerts the pilothouse crew to the presence of fire in the
engine room or smoke in the accommodation module. The panel contains an alarm horn that sounds when fire or smoke are
present in the monitored spaces. The panel also contains three indicator lights. The ENGINE RM light illuminates when an
engine room fire is detected. The ACCOM light illuminates when smoke is detected in the accommodation module. The
POWER light is illuminated any time the system is energized. The panel also contains two switches. The SILENCE switch
silences the alarm horn after an alarm condition is indicated. The PANEL TEST switch permits testing of the system. When
the PANEL TEST switch is moved to the ENGINE RM position, the alarm horn sounds and the ENGINE RM light illuminates.

Smoke Detectors
Two smoke detectors are mounted in the accommodation module, overhead. The smoke detectors contain a set of normally
open contacts that close when smoke is detected. When closed, the contacts send a signal to the remote alarm panel that
sounds the appropriate alarm.
Fire Detectors
Three fire detectors are mounted in the engine room, overhead. The fire detectors send a signal to the remote alarm panel
when fire is detected, triggering the appropriate alarm.
Horn/Strobe Unit
The horn/strobe unit, mounted in the engine room, alerts engine room personnel to the presence of a fire in the engine room
or smoke in the accommodation module. The unit is controlled by the remote alarm panel. When fire is detected in the
engine room or smoke in the accommodation module, the remote alarm panel causes the horn/strobe units horn to sound and
its strobe light to flash.
GENERAL ALARM SYSTEM
General
The general alarm system is used to alert the vessels crew to general alarm conditions. The system is controlled from the
pilothouse by a rotary switch. When activated, alarm bells sound in the accommodation module and in the engine room.
The system is powered by 24 Vdc from the control and distribution panel in the pilothouse. Additional fuses for the system
are contained in the general alarm junction box located on bulkhead 31, port of centerline, in the engine room. Two alarm bells,
a rotary switch, and a general alarm junction box make up the system.

Alarm Bells
The general alarm system has two alarm bells. One is located in the accommodation module; the other is located in the engine
room. When the pilothouse rotary switch is closed (ON), current flows to the alarm bells and they ring.
Rotary Switch
A rotary switch, located on the pilothouse overhead above the coxswains seat, controls the general alarm system. When the
switch is closed (ON), current flows to the alarm bells and they ring.
General Alarm Junction Box
The general alarm junction box, located on bulkhead 31, port of centerline, in the engine room, connects the rotary switch
and the two alarm bells. The junction box also contains four fuses that protect the system from damage due to overload.
ENGINE ALARM SYSTEM
General
The engine alarm system warns the operator of low engine oil pressure and high engine coolant temperature conditions for
the propulsion engines. When engine oil pressure falls too low, or coolant temperature rises too high, lights illuminate on the
pilothouse console to warn the operator of the condition. The system is powered by 24 Vdc from the control and distribution
panel in the pilothouse. The system is composed of Fuel Pressure (FP) switches, Low Oil Pressure (LOP) switches, High
Water Temperature (HWT) switches, and alarm lights. The schematic on the following page details system operation.
Fuel Pressure Switch
Two normally-open fuel pressure switches are installed in the system, one for each Low Oil Pressure (LOP) or High Water
Temperature (HWT) circuit. These switches arm and disarm the LOP alarm system. When the engine is running, fuel
pressure is present, and the fuel pressure switches close, arming the LOP alarm system. When the engine is secured, fuel
pressure is absent, and the switches open, disarming the system. This automatic disarming of the alarm system prevents the
engine alarms from activating when the engines are secured.
Oil Pressure Switch
Each propulsion engine has a normally-closed, Low Oil Pressure (LOP) switch for the alarm system. When engine oil
pressure is below the switchs closing pressure, the switch closes. If the engine is running (fuel pressure switch closed), the
electrical circuit to the alarm light in the pilothouse console is completed, and the light illuminates. Under normal engine
operating conditions, the oil pressure switch is open, the fuel pressure switch is closed, and the alarm light is off.
Coolant Temperature Switch
Each propulsion engine has a normally-open, High Water Temperature (HWT) switch for the alarm system. When the engine
coolant temperature rises above the switchs closing temperature, the switch closes. With the switch closed, the electrical
circuit to the alarm light in the pilothouse console is completed, and the light illuminates. Under normal engine operating
conditions, the high water temperature switch is open, and the alarm light is off.
Alarm Light
Four alarm lights, one for each alarm circuit, are installed in the pilothouse console. When the necessary switches in a given
alarm circuit are closed, the alarm lights electrical circuit is complete, and the alarm light illuminates.

The LCM-8 Mod 2 is provided with a potable water system that supplies potable water to the galley sink, the water closet
sink, and the windshield washdown system. A hot water heater is installed in the system to provide hot water to the galley
sink and the water closet sink. The system is composed of a potable water tank, pressure set, filter, faucets, water heater,
windshield washdown pump, deck fill, vent, and tank monitor system.
POTABLE WATER TANK
A 150 gallon (567.8 liter) stainless steel potable water tank is mounted in the watertight void between bulkheads 23 and 27.
The tank has fittings for connecting the deck fill and vent piping as well as pickup connections for the pressure set and the
windshield washdown pump. The tank is also fitted for the tank watch level indicator.
PRESSURE SET
A pressure set, located under the accommodation module entry ladder, provides pressurized potable water to the galley and
water closet compartment. The pressure set is powered by the vessels 24 Vdc electric system through the control and
distribution panel in the pilothouse. The pressure set is a modular unit containing a pump, pressure switch, and accumulator.
Together these components deliver an even flow of pressurized water to the sinks. The pump is a positive displacement type
with a rubber impeller. The pressure switch is preset to turn the pump on at 8 lb/in (0.6 bar) and to turn it off at 24 lb/in
(1.7 bar). The accumulator helps to equalize the flow of water by absorbing pressure surges
FILTER
All potable water delivered to the galley and water closet compartment passes through a filter. The filter contains granulated
activated charcoal, which removes many organic and inorganic substances from treated water. The filter also contains
Kinetic Degredation Fluxion (KDF), which removes lead and prevents bacteria growth. A one-micron filtration element
removes most parasites which would cause stomach discomfort. The filter is designed for use with treated water only.
FAUCET
Two faucet assemblies are provided in the potable water system, one in the galley and one in the water closet compartment.
The faucets control the flow of both hot and cold potable water into the sinks.
WATER HEATER
A 10 gallon hot water heater is provided to supply hot water to the galley and to the water closet compartment. The hot water
heater has two heating elements. The first element is connected to the engine coolant system for the starboard propulsion
engine. This element uses the heat of the engine coolant to heat the potable water in the water heater. The second element
is an electric element, which uses electric power from the vessels 220 Vac electrical system to heat the potable water. When
the starboard propulsion engine is operating, the hot water is heated primarily by the propulsion engine element.
WINDSHIELD WASHDOWN PUMP
A 2.5 gal/min (9.5 L/min) self-priming pump is installed to supply potable water to the windshield washdown system. This
water supply is drawn from a separate pickup in the potable water tank and is neither filtered nor heated. The pump is
powered by the vessels 24 Vdc electrical system through the control and distribution panel in the pilothouse. The pump
contains an integral pressure switch, which turns the pump on at 10 lb/in (0.7 bar) and turns it off at 20 lb/in (1.4 bar). The
pump is controlled by a switch located on the pilothouse console.

compressor. Condensation of the refrigerant is accomplished by passing the compressed refrigerant through a raw watercooled condenser coil.

0012 00-1

TM 55-1905-242-14

0012 00

Cooling Unit
Three cooling units are installed in the heating and air conditioning system. Two units, one port and one starboard, are
located in the wing walls of the accommodation module. The third unit is located under the pilothouse console, starboard.
The cooling units receive compressed, condensed refrigerant from the condensing units, allow the refrigerant to evaporate in
an evaporator core, and send the evaporated refrigerant back to the condensing units for compression and condensation.
The cooling units also contain fans, which draw in compartment air, pass that air over the evaporator core where it is cooled
by the evaporating refrigerant, and discharge the cooled air back to the compartment.
Refrigerant
An R-22 refrigerant is used in the system. The refrigerant is a Hydrochloroflourocarbon (HCFC), a Class II Ozone Depleting
Substance (ODS), and as such, requires special handling. Special handling instructions are contained in WP 0168 00.
Control Assemblies
Each cooling unit has its own control assembly mounted near the units outlet. The control assemblies have three rotary
knobs. The top knob controls the mode of operation. When in the OFF position, the unit is off. When in the FAN position,
the fan circulates air, but no heating or cooling is provided. When in the RUN position, the unit provides heating or cooling
as required. The middle knob controls fan speed. The bottom knob controls temperature. When the selected temperature
is lower than the compartments ambient temperature, the unit enters cooling mode, and when the selected temperature is
higher than the compartments ambient temperature, the unit enters the heating mode.
Raw Water Pump
A single raw water pump, mounted in the engine room, centerline, at frame 33 supplies raw water to cool all three condensing units. The raw water pump draws water in from the sea chest at frame 31 starboard through a shutoff valve and a strainer.
The raw water pump discharges to a raw water manifold where it is distributed to the three condensing units. After passing
through the condensing units, the raw water is discharged overboard through the port side hull aft of frame 37.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
General
Forced air ventilation is provided to the accommodation module, the battery compartment, the water closet compartment,
and the engine room. All of these ventilation systems use fans to force air out of the compartments. Fresh air intake is by
natural flow.

Accommodation Module Ventilation


Accommodation module ventilation is provided by two blowers mounted in the accommodation module bulkheads aft of
frame 23, port and starboard. These blowers force air out of the accommodation module. Natural ventilation is provided by
two vents in the overhead, port and starboard, aft of frame 27. Additional natural ventilation is provided by vents located in
the forward bulkhead of the accommodation module, port and starboard. All four of these natural vents may be opened and
closed as required by conditions. The blowers are powered by the vessels 24 Vdc electrical system through the control and
distribution panel in the pilothouse.
Battery Compartment Ventilation
Battery compartment ventilation is provided by an explosion proof blower mounted in the accommodation module bulkhead
aft of frame 30, starboard. The blower draws air out of the battery compartment through a flexible vent hose and exhausts
it to the atmosphere outside the accommodation module. Because of the potential for explosive gas generation caused by the
charging/discharging of the batteries, this fan normally runs at all times. The blower is powered by the vessels 24 Vdc
electrical system through the control and distribution panel in the pilothouse.
Water Closet Compartment Ventilation
The water closet compartment is ventilated by a blower mounted under the pilothouse deck. The blowers intake draws air
through the aft bulkhead of the water closet compartment and exhausts it through a port in the pilothouse base at frame 34,
starboard. The blower is powered by the vessels 24 Vdc electrical system through the control and distribution panel in the
pilothouse. Fan operation is controlled by a door switch and timer. When the water closet door is closed, the blower begins
to run. After the blower has run for five minutes, the timer shuts it off. The timer resets when the water closet door is opened.
Engine Room Ventilation
The engine room is ventilated by two blowers mounted in the engine room overhead aft of frame 35. These blowers draw air
from the engine room. Fresh air is supplied to the engine room through intake ducts located on bulkhead 31, port and
starboard. Both the intake and the exhaust ducts have fire flaps to permit the operator to secure all air flow to the engine
room in case of fire. The exhaust duct is manually controlled from the aft deck, while the intake ducts are controlled from
the pilothouse by means of T-handle controls. Power for the blowers is derived from the vessels 24 Vdc electrical system
through the control and distribution panel in the pilothouse.

THEORY OF OPERATION
FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
GENERAL
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is fitted with an engine room fire suppression system. This system is a manually-actuated, stand-alone,
total flooding fire suppression system. The system is capable of extinguishing Class A, Class B, and Class C fires when
properly deployed. The system consists of a storage cylinder, FM-200 extinguishing agent, control head, discharge nozzle,
and pull box.
STORAGE CYLINDER
A steel storage cylinder, mounted in the port stowage locker, stores the FM-200 extinguishing agent until it is needed. The
cylinder has a volume of 1.000 ft (0.0283 m) and holds 70 lb (31.8 kg) of liquid FM-200 superpressurized with nitrogen to 360
lb/in (24.8 bar).

FM-200 EXTINGUISHING AGENT


FM-200 is a colorless, odorless, electrically nonconductive, environmentally friendly gas. It suppresses fire by a combination of chemical and physical mechanisms without affecting the available oxygen, allowing personnel to leave the fire area
safely. FM-200 is stored in the storage cylinder as a liquid, superpressurized at 360 lb/in at 70 F (24.8 kg at 21.1 C) by dry
nitrogen. The superpressurization improves FM-200s discharge characteristics.

CONTROL HEAD
A cable operated control head is installed on the storage cylinder. The control head controls the discharge of FM-200 from
the storage cylinder. The control head has two methods of actuation. The primary actuation method is remote actuation via
a pull box located in the pilothouse. When the cable is pulled, the control head discharges FM-200 into the piping that leads
to the engine room. The secondary actuation method is local actuation via the manual lever mounted on the control head.
DISCHARGE NOZZLE
A 180 degree discharge nozzle, mounted in the engine room, centerline, overhead, discharges FM-200 into the engine room
after it is released by the control head. The discharge head ensures that the FM-200 is dispersed evenly throughout the
engine room to most effectively extinguish a fire.
PULL BOX
A remote pull box, located in the pilothouse behind the coxswains seat, serves as the primary method of actuation for the fire
suppression system. The pull box is connected to the control head by a cable that is routed through a system of watertight
piping and corner pulleys.

FOR LANDING CRAFT, MECHANIZED (LCM-8) (ALL VESSELS WITH MOD 2 APPLICATION)
OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
This work package contains siting requirements; shelter requirements; assembly and preparation for use information; and
initial adjustments, before use, and self-test information.
SITING REQUIREMENTS
Location
The primary mission of the LCM-8 Mod 2 is personnel transfer, light salvage, and Command and Control (C2). It will be used
in coastal, harbor, and inland waterways, and is able to work in shallow inlets, rivers, and on unimproved beaches. The LCM8 Mod 2, therefore, may be located along any waterway sufficiently deep to support the vessel. The facilities on board the
LCM-8 Mod 2 are sufficient to support its crew of three for only short durations.
Proximity to Power Sources
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is completely self-sufficient with regard to electrical power. A diesel generator, two engine-driven
alternators, and a battery charger supply all of the electrical needs of the vessel. The vessels electrical needs may also be
supplied by a shore power connection to a shore facility or to another vessel. The shore supply source must be 220 Vac
(Volts alternating current), single phase. The LCM-8 Mod 2 is outfitted with a shore power cable to make this connection.
SHELTER REQUIREMENTS
The LCM-8 Mod 2 requires no shelter. When not in use, the LCM-8 Mod 2 is moored alongside a pier, alongside another
vessel, or is anchored.
ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
No assembly is required for the LCM-8 Mod 2. Preparations for use are contained in WP 0022 00.
INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS, BEFORE USE, AND SELF-TEST
All necessary initial adjustments, before use, and self-tests are contained in WP 0022 00.

OPERATION UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
PREOPERATING PROCEDURES
ACCUMULATORS
Check Precharge Pressure
The precharge pressure of the accumulators is the pressure of the nitrogen gas with which the accumulators are initially
charged. This pressure must be checked before the system pressure is raised for the initial engine start. To check the
precharge pressure, proceed as follows:
1.

Ensure that all of the accumulator shutoff valves (1) are CLOSED and all of the accumulator gauge valves (2) are OPEN.

2.

OPEN the accumulator blowdown valve (3) on the starting system side of the ramp/steering hydraulic tank.

0022 00-1

TM 55-1905-242-14

0022 00

ACCUMULATORS (continued)
3.

OPEN the hand charge pump valve (4) and the isolation valve (5) at the hand charge pump (6).

4.

OPEN the accumulator shutoff valve (1) for one accumulator and observe the accumulators gauge (7) reading. The
gauge reading should fall to zero.

5.

CLOSE the accumulator blowdown valve (3) and leave all of the other valves as found at the end of step 4.

6.

Pump several strokes on the hand charge pump (6) while observing the accumulator gauge (7). The pressure should rise
quickly, and then stabilize. Once stabilized, the pressure will rise only very slowly with additional pump strokes. This
stabilized pressure is the accumulator precharge pressure.

7.

Log the accumulator precharge pressure. 1250 lb/in (86.2 bar) is normal.

Pressurize Accumulators
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is above 40 F (4.4 C), an accumulator pressure of 1500
lb/in (103.4 bar) will provide adequate cranking to start the engine. Between 40 F (4.4
C) and 0 F (-17.8 C), 2500 lb/in (172.4 bar) should be sufficient. Below 0 F (-17.8 C),
the accumulators should be charged to 3250 lb/in (224.1 bar). For ambient temperatures
below 40 F (4.4 C), a starting aid should be used.
8.

Use the hand charge pump (6) to raise the accumulator to the appropriate starting pressure as determined by the ambient
temperature.

9.

Repeat steps 1-8 for each of the three remaining accumulators.

5.

Release both switches (9 and 10) as soon as the engine starts.

6.

Allow the engine to run at no load for 5 minutes to warm up. As the engine is warming up, observe the following gauges:

7.

a.

Oil pressure (11): should be above 15 lb/in (1 bar). If the oil pressure falls below this value, stop the generator
engine by referring to the Generator Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package and refer to the troubleshooting section in the diesel generator service manual identified in WP 0225 00.

b.

Engine coolant temperature (12): must be below 200 F (93.3 C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds this
value, stop the generator engine by referring to the Generator Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package and
refer to the troubleshooting section in the diesel generator service manual identified in WP 0225 00.

c.

DC Voltmeter (13): Should read between 11 and 15 volts at 80 F (26.7 C). If the charging rate falls outside these
values, stop the generator engine by referring to the Generator Engine Shutdown procedure in this work package
and refer to the troubleshooting section in the diesel generator service manual identified in WP 0225 00.

After allowing the engine to warm up, place the diesel generator online by following these steps:
a.

Ensure that all of the circuit breakers in the 220/110 V distribution box are in the OFF position.

b.

Place the shore power transfer switch (8) in the GENERATOR position.

c.

Set to ON the circuit breakers in the 220/110 V distribution box as necessary for the operating condition.

MANEUVERING
1.

Release and cast off all mooring lines between the LCM-8 Mod 2 and the pier. Stow all mooring lines.

2.

Marine transmission gear engagement is controlled by the propulsion controls (14). Shift the propulsion controls (14)
into AHEAD or ASTERN by moving the appropriate propulsion control forward or aft, respectively. AHEAD and
ASTERN are identified by a detent feel at approximately 30 degrees from the vertical.

3.

Engine speed is controlled by the propulsion controls (14). The farther the propulsion control is moved away from
vertical, the higher the engine speed.

4.

When the LCM-8 Mod 2 is operating in open water without obstruction, steering is accomplished by turning the
helm (15).

! CAUTION
Do not shift the propulsion controls from AHEAD through NEUTRAL to ASTERN or
vice versa at engine speeds over 800 r/min. Shifting through NEUTRAL at high engine
speeds can damage the marine transmissions and the rest of the propulsion system.
Allow engine speed to fall below 800 r/min before shifting from NEUTRAL into another
mode.
5.

When operating in close quarters, such as when maneuvering near a pier, near another vessel, or in a narrow waterway,
the LCM-8 Mod 2 may be most effectively steered by utilizing the marine transmissions via the propulsion controls (14).
To steer with the marine transmissions:
a.

To turn the bow to port, position the starboard propulsion control AHEAD and the port propulsion control ASTERN.

b.

To turn the bow to starboard, position the starboard propulsion control ASTERN and the port propulsion control
AHEAD.

MOORING (continued)
2.

Cautiously maneuver the LCM-8 Mod 2 to the desired location alongside the pier or vessel.

3.

Cast the forward and aft mooring lines to assisting personnel on the pier or other vessel.

4.

Take up slack and secure the mooring lines to mooring cleats or bitts on the pier or other vessel. Make sure that the
mooring lines have enough slack to allow for the rise and fall of the tide.
NOTE
Under normal conditions, one forward mooring line, one aft mooring line, and two spring
lines are sufficient to moor the LCM-8 Mod 2. In high wind or strong current conditions,
additional lines will be required to moor the vessel.

5.

Secure the spring lines to mooring cleats or bitts on the pier or other vessel.

ANCHORING
1.

Wearing gloves, assemble the LCM-8 Mod 2 ground tackle by connecting the anchor to the anchor chain and line.

2.

Head the vessel into the wind or seas at the location where the anchor is to be dropped.

3.

Run the vessel slow ahead until it is keeping station into the wind or seas.

WARNING

An anchoring supervisor shall be stationed to ensure that personnel do not become


entangled in the anchor line while it is paying out. Do not allow the anchor to freefall.
The anchor line must be payed out under control at all times. Failure to comply can
result in damaged equipment and serious injury or death to personnel.
Heavy loads can crush. Do not allow any body parts to come under the load or between
the load and a stationary object. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death.
4.

Lower the anchor from the bow into the water, maintaining control of the anchor line at all times. Pay out the anchor line
under control until the anchor reaches the bottom.

5.

Allow the vessel to drift astern with the wind or seas until a scope of 5 to 7 times the water depth is payed out.

6.

Lay the anchor line in a bow chock and secure it to a mooring bitt. When the anchor line becomes taut, set the anchor
by backing the vessel with the engines at IDLE speed.

7.

When a strain on the anchor line is achieved, indicating that the anchor is set, return the propulsion control levers to the
NEUTRAL position. The LCM-8 Mod 2 is now anchored.

0023 00-7

TM 55-1905-242-14

0023 00

HOISTING ANCHOR
1.

The propulsion engines should be running and warmed up as described in the Propulsion Engine Startup procedure in
this work package.

2.

Start the vessel moving slowly toward the anchor to take strain off the line.

3.

As the vessel moves closer to the anchor, take in the anchor line.

4.

When the anchor line is vertical, stop the vessel and hoist the anchor aboard.

5.

Disassemble the ground tackle and stow the anchor, anchor chain, and line as directed by the coxswain.

LOWERING THE BOW RAMP

WARNING
Do not lower the ramp when the LCM-8 Mod 2 is underway. The ramp should be
operated only after the vessel has been beached, moored, or anchored. Operating the
ramp while the vessel is underway may sink the vessel, leading to serious injury or death
of personnel.

ENGINE ROOM FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM


The engine room fire suppression system may be activated from the pilothouse or from the port stowage locker. Procedures
for activating the engine room fire suppression follow. These procedures are for activation of the fire suppression system
only. Additional procedures must be followed to fight an engine room fire. For full firefighting procedures, refer to
WP 0030 00.
Operation from the Pilothouse

WARNING

Although the FM-200 agent used in the fire suppression system is considered non-toxic
to humans in concentrations necessary to extinguish most fires, personnel should not
be unnecessarily exposed to the agent. When FM-200 is exposed to temperatures over
approximately 1300 F (704 C), Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) gas is formed. This HF gas is
toxic to humans. Do not allow FM-200 agent or its byproducts to come in contact with
personnel. Failure to comply could result in serious injury or death.
1.

Ensure that no personnel are present in the engine room.

2.

Use the attached hammer (8) to break the glass (9) on the pull box mounted behind the coxswains seat.

The following precautions must be taken whenever operating the crane:

WARNING

All personnel in the vicinity of lifting operations should wear appropriate safety equipment including gloves, hard hat, and safety shoes. Failure to comply can result in
serious injury or death.
Heavy loads can crush. Do not allow any body parts to come under the load or between
the load and a stationary object. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death.

! CAUTION
Make sure that the load lifted does not exceed the load chart ratings. The crane load
chart must be constantly referred to, especially in cases where the load is to be moved
farther away from the cranes pivot point. Overloading can lead to serious damage to
the crane.
Avoid making sudden starting or stopping movements with the crane. Sudden starting
and stopping can lead to serious damage to the crane.
Never drag loads along the deck or the ground. Slew only with the load raised off the
deck or ground. Dragging loads can result in serious damage to the crane and to the
load.
3.

Move the cranes operating control stand (68) from its stowed position (69) to its operating position (70).

4.

Ensure that the crane operator has an unobstructed view of the working area. If the operators view is obstructed for any
reason, a signalman may be used to assist the operator. If a signalman is used, he shall communicate with the operator
using a predetermined set of signals such as those shown in this work package. If at any time the operator is unsure of
the signal, he shall not operate the crane until he is clear of the signal.

5.

Determine the weight of the item to be lifted, the load radius (distance from the center of the cranes rotation to the center
of the load) at the beginning of the lift, and the most extreme load radius expected during the lift. Consult the load chart
to ensure that the load does not exceed the cranes capacity at any point during the lift.

6.

Ensure that all unnecessary personnel are clear of the cranes working area.

Propulsion Engine Starting (continued)

WARNING

Ensure all personnel are clear of moving components. Use extreme caution when working around rotating components. Do not allow hands or tools to come in contact rotating components. Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or anything else that might become entangled with rotating components. Failure to comply can result in damaged
equipment and serious injury or death to personnel.
3.

From the neutral position, pull the starboard propulsion control (1) away from the dome approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm).
This movement enables the operator to control engine speed while leaving the marine transmission in NEUTRAL.
Open the throttle approximately 1/4 way by moving the starboard propulsion control forward.

WARNING

Starting fluid presents an extreme fire hazard. Liquid very quickly evaporates, even at
low temperatures, and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources
such as open flame, welding equipment, and electric motors and switches. Do not use
starting fluid near heat, sparks, or open flames. Failure to comply could result in injury
or death.
Starting fluid is toxic if inhaled in large doses and is an irritant to eyes and skin. Do not
breathe vapor or fumes. Do not taste or swallow. Ensure that starting fluid is used only
in spaces with sufficient ventilation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Failure
to comply could result in injury or death.

! CAUTION
Do not overuse starting fluid. Overloading the engine with starting fluid or using
starting fluid with a warm engine can cause serious internal engine damage.
4.

Signal the coxswain to start the engine from the pilothouse by pushing the START button (2) on the console.

5.

Spray a 1 to 2-second burst of starting fluid into the engine air intake while the engine is cranking.

6.

Follow the remainder of the propulsion engine starting procedure detailed in steps 4-6 of Propulsion Engine Starting
procedure in WP 0023 00. If repeated starting attempts are necessary, repeat steps 4 and 5 above.

0028 00-2

TM 55-1905-242-14

0028 00

Diesel Generator Starting

! CAUTION
Do not use starting fluid with the diesel generator engine. The diesel generator engine
uses preheat elements to assist with cold weather starting. Use of starting fluid in
conjunction with these preheat elements will cause serious internal engine damage.
No special cold weather starting procedures are required for starting the diesel generator engine. The starting procedures
contained in WP 0023 00 apply to all weather conditions. Do not use starting fluid with the diesel generator engine. The
diesel engine uses preheat elements to assist with cold weather starting. Use of starting fluid in conjunction with these
preheat elements will cause serious internal engine damage.
Propulsion Engine and Diesel Generator Engine Lubricating Systems
Consult O203 03/97 for special lubrication requirements for the diesel generator engines.
Consult TM 5-2815-231-14 for special lubrication requirements for the propulsion engines.
Cooling Systems
Proper antifreeze level must be maintained in all engine cooling systems. Consult the PMCS contained in WP 0053 00 and WP
0054 00 for cooling system maintenance and inspection procedures.
Raw Water Systems
If the temperature in the engine room can be maintained above freezing by occasional operation of the propulsion engine or
by operation of the diesel generator, no precautions are necessary for the raw water systems. If the engine room temperature
can not be maintained above freezing, preserve the raw water systems as described in TB 740-97-4.
Batteries
A fully charged battery will not freeze until its temperatures reaches -75 F (-59.4 C). A battery with a 50% charge will
freeze at 5 F (-15.0 C). It is important to keep the batteries charged in order to prevent freezing. If 220 Vac power is
available via the diesel generator or shore power, the main batteries may be kept charged with the battery charger. The diesel
generator starting battery is not charged by the battery charger. This battery must be kept charged by occasional operation
of the diesel generator engine.
Hydraulic Systems
During cold weather, allow all hydraulic systems to run unloaded for at least 15 minutes. This will allow time for the oil to
warm up and will prevent damage to hydraulic components due to lack of lubrication.
Potable Water System
If the vessel has 220 Vac power available via the diesel generator or shore power, the heat/air conditioning systems may be
operated to warm the accommodation module. This will prevent freezing of the potable water system. If 220 Vac power is
not available, if the heat/air conditioning system is inoperative, or if the heat/air conditioning units are unable to maintain the
accommodation module at a temperature above freezing, preserve the potable water system as described in TB 740-97-4.
Black Water System
If the vessel has 220 Vac power available via the diesel generator or shore power, the heat/air conditioning systems may be
operated to warm the accommodation module. This will prevent freezing of the black water system. If 220 Vac power is not
available, if the heat/air conditioning system is inoperative, or if the heat/air conditioning units are unable to maintain the
accommodation module at a temperature above freezing, preserve the black water system as described in TB 740-97-4.
Steering System
Before getting underway, test the steering system by moving the wheel from full port to full starboard. Observe the rudder
angle indicator during this operation to make sure that the rudder moves through its full range of motion. Turn the wheel
slowly at first to free the rudder from any ice which may have formed between the hull and the rudders at the waterline.

WARNING

Ice buildup on ladders and walkways can make climbing and walking hazardous. Do not
allow ice to build up on ladders and walkways. Failure to comply could result in injury
or death.
2.

Remove any ice buildup from ladders and walkways on the main deck.

HOT WEATHER OPERATION


Propulsion Engines
Check engine temperature gauges often. Engine temperature should not rise above 195 F (90.6 C). If the engine temperature exceeds this limit, refer to the troubleshooting guide in TM 5-2815-231-14.
Diesel Generator
Check engine temperature gauges often. Engine temperature should not rise above 195 F (90.6 C). If the engine temperature exceeds this limit, refer to the troubleshooting guide in the diesel generator operators and service manuals referenced
in WP 0225 00.
Engine Lubricating Oil
1.

Check the lubricating oil pressure gauges often. The lubricating oil pressure will drop slightly as the engine coolant
temperature increases.

2.

Refer to the PMCS contained in WP 0053 00 and WP 0054 00 for lubricating oil specifications for hot weather.

FOUL WEATHER OPERATION


1.

Ensure that all gear, equipment, and cargo are properly stowed and secured.

0030 00

Post Fire Reentry Procedure (continued)


4.

5.

After ensuring that no reflash risks exist, the engine room must be ventilated in accordance with the following procedure:
a.

The crewmember who checked for reflash risks should reset the engine room intake fire flaps while in the engine
room and should remain in the engine room during ventilation to continue monitoring for reflash risks.

b.

OPEN the engine room exhaust fire flaps.

c.

Turn ON both engine room ventilation fans.

d.

Ventilate the engine room for at least 15 minutes before proceeding to the cleanup phase.

After the engine room has been ventilated and has cooled down, clean up the engine room as follows:
a.

The cleanup crew must don rain gear, NBC gloves, paper respirators (dust masks), chemical protective goggles, and
face shields.

b.

Wash down the engine room interior and all equipment with fresh water.
NOTE
Bilge water that has been exposed to FM-200 fire extinguishing agent in extinguishing a
fire shall be classified and treated as hazardous waste.

c.

Use the oily water collection system to remove all contaminated bilge water from the engine room. Discharge this
contaminated water only to a suitable treatment facility.

Fire in Spaces Other Than the Engine Room


Fires in spaces other than the engine room may be extinguished using standard established firefighting procedures.
Fire on a Weather Deck or on Another Vessel
In addition to the standard, established firefighting procedures mentioned above, fires on a weather deck or on another
vessel may be controlled with the fire monitor. Operation of the fire monitor is detailed in the Fire Monitor section of
WP 0026 00.
FLOODING
Most flooding is caused by structural damage below the waterline or by damaged raw water piping. Should flooding occur,
the crew should:
1.

Slow or halt the flow of incoming water by whatever means are available. If the water is entering through a hole in the
hull, the hole must be temporarily repaired. There are two general methods of temporarily repairing a hole: either put
something into it or put something over it. In either case, try to reduce the area through which water can enter the vessel
or an area through which it can pass from one compartment to another.

2.

Activate the bilge pumps as described in WP 0026 00. Operate the bilge pumps until the flooded compartment is pumped
dry. If the flow of water into the compartment cannot be completely stopped, continue pumping as necessary in order
to control the flooding in the affected space.

Manual Life Raft Deployment (continued)


5.

Roll the life raft from its rack (23) and allow it to roll over the life raft rail (19) on its way overboard.

6.

Once the raft is in the water, pull in the operating cord (22) until it is taut. Once the operating cord is taut, pull hard on
the cord to activate the rafts CO2 inflating system. Pressure from this system will break the two canister retaining straps,
separate the canister from the raft, and inflate the raft. The raft can be boarded in 30 seconds.

7.

Pull the life raft alongside the parent vessel, and board the life raft one at a time. Ensure that one Search and Rescue
Transponder (SART) is placed in each life raft, and that the Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is
deployed. Operation of the SART and EPIRB are described in the SART/EPIRB OPERATION section of this work
package.

8.

Once all personnel are onboard the life raft, cut the operating cord (22) to allow the life raft to move away from the parent
vessel.

Automatic Life Raft Deployment


1.

The life raft automatically deploys once the parent vessel has sunk. When the raft is submerged approximately 10 feet
(3.1 m), a hydrostatic release device (24) automatically releases the cradle restraining strap, which allows the raft to float
free of the cradle and parent vessel.

2.

The 100 foot (30.5 m) operating cord (22) connects the life raft to the parent vessel. When the parent vessel sinks beyond
the length of this cord, the rafts CO2 inflating system is activated.

3.

Pressure from the life rafts CO2 system will break the two canister retaining straps, separate the canister from the raft,
and inflate the raft.

4.

The buoyancy of the inflated raft will break the weak link connection on the operating cord (22) automatically, freeing the
raft from the parent vessel. The operating cord may also be cut to free the life raft.

SART/EPIRB OPERATION
SART
The SART provides location information to search radars operating in the X-band. Once activated, the SART detects the
radar signal of the search craft and sends a series of response pulses to the search radar of the search craft that causes a
series of 12 equally spaced arcs to appear on the radar display.
To operate the SART:
1.

Position the SART as high as possible in the life raft. The SARTs range increases with its mounting height.

2.

Set to ON the ON/OFF/TEST switch (25).

3.

When the ON/OFF/TEST switch (25) is ON, the SART immediately enters the Test Mode. In this mode, both yellow
and green lights (26) and the buzzer are tested. After approximately 1 second, the SART enters Receive Mode.

4.

In Receive Mode, the yellow light (26) flashes slowly. The SART remains in Receive Mode until it receives a pulse
from a search radar.

5.

When a radar pulse is received, the SART switches to Reply Mode and transmits a series of pulses that appear on
the search radar display as a series of arcs leading away from the SARTs position. Reply Mode is indicated by rapid
flashing of the red and yellow lights (26).

6.

With a fully charged battery pack, the SART will operate in Receive Mode for a minimum of 96 hours. After this time
period, it will still respond to normal interrogations for an additional 8 hours.

is then relayed to a Mission Control Center, where rescue efforts by the appropriate Search and Rescue (SAR) forces are
initialized.
The EPIRB transmits at 406.025 MHz and at 121.5 MHz. The 406.025 MHz signal contains, among other coded information,
the unique identification number of the EPIRB, which allows identification of the specific vessel to which the EPIRB is
assigned. The 121.5 MHz signal is primarily used by SAR forces as a homing signal during rescue operations. A strobe light
assists in the visual location of the EPIRB.
To operate the EPIRB:
1.

The EPIRB is normally left in its mounting bracket with the switch (27) in the READY position. With the switch (27)
in the READY position, the EPIRB will only activate if it is removed from its mounting bracket and is placed in water.
NOTE
With the switch (27) in the READY position, the EPIRB will only transmit when it is in the
water. If EPIRB transmission is desired, ensure that the EPIRB remains in the water, or
move the switch to the ON position.

2.

If the EPIRB will be placed in the water following an emergency, the switch (27) may remain in the READY position
and the EPIRB will activate. When in the READY position, the EPIRB will only transmit while it is in the water.

3.

If the EPIRB will be carried into a life raft, or if it will remain aboard the LCM-8 Mod 2 during transmission, set to ON
the switch (27). In this position, the EPIRB will remain activated until the switch (27) is returned to the READY
position.

EMERGENCY PROPULSION ENGINE SHUTDOWN

! CAUTION
Using the emergency engine shutdown control to stop an engine may cause serious
damage to the engine. The emergency engine shutdowns should only be used in a
genuine emergency such as an engine room fire or a runaway engine.
The emergency engine shutdown controls, when pulled, will trip the air shutdown flaps located between the air inlet housing
and the blower. When these flaps are closed, the air supply to the engines is secured. This lack of air will immediately shut
down the engines. This procedure should be used to shut down the engines only in a genuine emergency such as an engine
room fire or a runaway engine.
To shut down the engines in an emergency:
1.

Pull the applicable emergency engine shutdown control (28) on the control console.

After the engine stops, push the emergency engine control (28) all the way in.

3.

The emergency engine shutdown can only be reset from the engine room. The reset procedure is described in
TM 5-2815-231-14.

PROPULSION ENGINE FAILURE


One Engine Failure
In the event that one propulsion engine fails, proceed to safe moorage under the power of one engine as follows:
1.

Shut down the malfunctioning engine.

2.

Steer the vessel to compensate for the loss of the engine.

3.

If the vessel must be operated for more than 8 hours with an inoperative engine, follow the Transmission Backdriving
instructions in this work package.

Two Engine Failure

! CAUTION
Secure towing lines only to mooring or towing bitts. Never secure towing lines to
lifelines, handrails, or other deck hardware not intended for mooring or towing purposes. Failure to comply may result in damage to the vessel.
In the event that both propulsion engines fail, the LCM-8 Mod 2 will have to be towed. Towing arrangements shall be at the
discretion of the coxswain. It may be necessary to anchor to prevent the vessel from drifting while awaiting a tow. Anchoring
procedures are contained in WP 0023 00.
Transmission Backdriving
The marine transmission can be backdriven (propeller windmilling with the engine secured) provided that the vessel speed
during the backdriving procedure does not exceed the normal propulsion speed of the vessel. To backdrive the marine
transmission:

! CAUTION
The marine transmission must be lubricated at least every 8 hours during backdriving.
Failure to comply will result in serious internal damage to the marine transmission.
1.

Start the engine and operate the marine transmission in neutral for a minimum of 5 minutes to lubricate the internal
transmission components. Do this once every 8 hours when the transmission is being backdriven.

2.

Maintain the marine transmission oil level at the FULL mark on the dipstick.

3.

If the propulsion engine is entirely inoperative and cannot be lubricated as described in step 1, perform the following
lubrication procedure:
a.

Plug the dipstick tube and fill the transmission completely full of oil.

b.

Before backdriving, drain the oil down to the full level on the dipstick.

0030 00-9

TM 55-1905-242-14

0030 00

Transmission Backdriving (continued)


c.

Repeat this process every 8 hours when the transmission is being backdriven.

STEERING FAILURE
If one steering pump or one propulsion engine fails, the steering system will continue to operate using the remaining pump
or engine. If both steering pumps fail, steering can still be accomplished by turning the helm. With both steering pumps
inoperative, the helm unit acts as its own hydraulic pump. Should the hydraulic steering system fail completely, the vessel
can be steered with the emergency tiller or by varying engine speed.
Steering With the Emergency Tiller
1.

OPEN the bypass valves (29), two port and two starboard, in the lazarette to permit manual steering. Leave the four
isolation valves (30) OPEN.

3.

Remove the emergency tiller (32) from its stowage brackets on the main deck, aft.

4.

Insert the emergency tiller (32) over the upper square rudder stock.

WARNING
Steering the LCM-8 Mod 2 with the emergency tiller must be accomplished at engine
speeds below 1500 r/min. Steering by the emergency tiller at speeds over 1500 r/min may
endanger the tiller operator and cause loss of steering control. Failure to comply could
result in serious injury or death to personnel.
5.

Steer the vessel by operating the emergency tiller. To turn the vessel to starboard, the emergency tiller must be moved
port. To turn the vessel to port, the emergency tiller must be moved starboard.

Steering With the Engines and Marine Transmissions


1.

2.

To steer the vessel with the engines while underway:


a.

To turn the vessel to port, decrease the port engine speed while maintaining the starboard engine speed. The
turning rate will vary according to the difference in speed between the two engines. The greater the difference in
engine speed, the greater the turning rate. When the turn is completed, increase the speed of the port engine to that
of the starboard engine.

b.

To turn the vessel to starboard, decrease the starboard engine speed while maintaining the port engine speed. The
turning rate will vary according to the difference in speed between the two engines. The greater the difference in
engine speed, the greater the turning rate. When the turn is completed, increase the speed of the starboard engine
to that of the port engine.

To steer with the marine transmissions:

! CAUTION
Always allow the engine speed to return to IDLE before shifting the marine transmissions between AHEAD and ASTERN. Shifting the marine transmissions between
AHEAD and ASTERN at high engine speeds will cause serious internal damage to the
marine transmissions and can produce damaging shock loads to the other propulsion
machinery.
NOTE
If possible, the rudder should be positioned amidship when steering with the marine
transmissions.
a.

To turn the vessel to port, place the starboard propulsion control lever in the AHEAD position and the port
propulsion control lever in the ASTERN position. Engine speed can be varied to influence the turning rate, but the
engines must be permitted to return to IDLE before shifting the marine transmissions between AHEAD and ASTERN.
When the turn is complete, return both propulsion control levers to the NEUTRAL position and proceed with
underway operations.

b.

To turn the vessel to starboard, place the port propulsion control lever in the AHEAD position and the starboard
propulsion control lever in the ASTERN position. Engine speed can be varied to influence the turning rate, but the
engines must be permitted to return to IDLE before shifting the marine transmissions between AHEAD and ASTERN.
When the turn is complete, return both propulsion control levers to the NEUTRAL position and proceed with
underway operations.

0030 00-11

TM 55-1905-242-14

0030 00

EMERGENCY STOPPING
If the LCM-8 Mod 2 is travelling forward at cruising speed, emergency stopping can be accomplished as follows:

WARNING

Warn the passengers and crew as early as possible before initiating an EMERGENCY
STOP procedure. Failure to comply could result in serious injury or death to personnel
due to shifting cargo and lost footing.
1.

Place both propulsion control levers in the NEUTRAL position until the engines have returned to IDLE speed.

2.

Shift both propulsion engine control levers into the ASTERN position.

3.

Increase the speed of both engines to full speed ASTERN.

4.

When the vessel stops, return both propulsion control levers to the NEUTRAL position.

EMERGENCY RAMP OPERATION


Lower the Ramp
When the propulsion engines cannot be operated, or when a malfunction of the ramp hydraulic system is encountered, the
bow ramp can be lowered by the following procedure:
1.

Disengage both PTO clutch levers to stop the ramp hydraulic pumps. Refer to the Lowering the Bow Ramp procedure
in WP 0023 00 for PTO clutch lever operating instructions.

2.

Remove the cover from the hand pump compartment.

3.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE UPON RECEIPT
SITING REQUIREMENTS
Location
The primary mission of the LCM-8 Mod 2 is personnel transfer, light salvage, and Command and Control (C2). It will be used
in coastal, harbor, and inland waterways, and is able to work in shallow inlets, rivers, and on unimproved beaches. The LCM8 Mod 2, therefore, may be located along any waterway sufficiently deep to support the vessel. Because the facilities on
board the LCM-8 Mod 2 are sufficient to support its crew of three for only short durations, consideration must be given to
berthing and messing facilities for the crew.
Proximity to Power Sources
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is completely self-sufficient with regard to electrical power. A diesel generator, two engine-driven
alternators, and a battery charger supply all of the electrical needs of the vessel. The vessels electrical needs may also be
supplied by a shore power connection to a shore facility or to another vessel. The shore supply source must be 220 Vac
(Volts alternating current), single phase. The LCM-8 Mod 2 is outfitted with a shore power cable to make this connection.
SHELTER REQUIREMENTS
The LCM-8 Mod 2 requires no shelter. When not in use, the LCM-8 Mod 2 is moored alongside a pier, alongside another
vessel, or is anchored.
SERVICE UPON RECEIPT
General
The services performed upon receipt of a new or used vessel are the responsibility of the receiving organization and will be
performed by the crew and the issuing activity.

WARNING

Volatile materials must not be brought aboard, electrical circuits must not be energized,
fuel tanks must not be topped off, and engines must not be started before firefighting
equipment is available and operative. Failure to comply can result in damaged equipment and serious injury or death to personnel.
Inspecting and Servicing the LCM-8 Mod 2
The crew and issuing activity will conduct a 100 percent inventory of the vessel and required components per WP 0228 00.

FOR LANDING CRAFT, MECHANIZED (LCM-8) (ALL VESSELS WITH MOD 2 APPLICATION)
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
PMCS INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the vessel in operating condition. The checks
are used to find, correct, or report problems. Crew members are to do the PMCS jobs as shown in WP 0053 00. Unit
maintenance members are to do the PMCS as shown in WP 0054 00. PMCS is done every day the vessel is operated, using
the appropriate PMCS work packages. Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be hurt. A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.
Before operating vessel equipment, do Before PMCS.
During operation, do During PMCS.
After operation, do After PMCS.
Once a week do Weekly PMCS. If vessel has not been operated in a week, also do Before PMCS at the same time as Weekly
PMCS.
Do Monthly PMCS once a month. If vessel has not been operated in a month, also do After PMCS at the same time as
Monthly PMCS.
If the vessel is being operated for the first time, do the Weekly and Monthly PMCS at the same time that the Before PMCS
is performed.
If a deficiency is noted when performing PMCS, fix it, if possible, using troubleshooting procedures and/or maintenance
procedures. If the deficiency cannot be corrected, write up the items not fixed on DA Form 2404 for unit maintenance. For
further information on how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.
The right hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the vessel not fully mission capable. Write up items not
fixed on DA Form 2404 for unit 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 WP 0227 00, notify unit maintenance.
LEAKAGE DEFINITION

! CAUTION

Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakages (Class I or 11) except for fuel
leaks. Of course, consideration must be given to the fluid capacity of the item or system
being checked. When in doubt, ask your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or 11 leaks, continue to check fluid levels as required in your PMCS.
Class III leaks should be reported immediately to your supervisor.
It is necessary to know how fluid leakage affects the status of the vessel. The following are definitions of the classes of
leakage an operator or crew member needs to know to be able to determine the condition of the leak. Learn and then be
familiar with them, and REMEMBER: WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK YOUR SUPERVISOR.
Leakage Definitions for Crew/Operator PMCS.
CLASS I - Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
CLASS II - Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but not enough to cause drops to drip from item being checked.
CLASS III - Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being checked.

0052 00-1

TM 55-1905-242-14

0052 00

INSPECTION
Look for signs of a problem or trouble. Senses help here. You can feel, smell, hear, or see many problems. Be alert when on
the vessel.
Inspect to see if items are in good condition. Are they correctly assembled, stowed, secured, excessively worn, leaking,
corroded, or properly lubricated? Correct any problems found or notify unit maintenance.
There are some common items to check all over the vessel. These include the following:
1 . Bolts, clamps, nuts, and screws: Continuously check for looseness. Look for chipped paint, bare metal, rust, or corrosion around bolt and screw heads and nuts. Tighten them when you find them loose. If tools are not available, notify unit
maintenance.
2.

Welds: Many items on the vessel are welded. To check these welds, look for chipped paint, rust, corrosion, or gaps.
When these conditions exist, notify unit maintenance on DA Form 2404.

3.

Electrical wires, connectors, and harnesses: Tighten loose connectors. Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare
wires, and broken connectors. If any are found, notify unit maintenance.

4.

Hoses and fluid lines: Look for wear, damage, and leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet spots mean a
leak. A stain by a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. When you find a leak, notify unit maintenance.

LUBRICATION SERVICE INTERVALS - NORMAL CONDITIONS


For safer, more trouble free operations, make sure that your vessel is serviced when it needs it. For the proper lubrication and
service intervals, see WP 0053 00 and WP 0054 00. Cleaning/changing intervals for the hydraulic system filters and
strainers are contained in table 2, WP 0053 00.
LUBRICATION SERVICE INTERVALS - UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
The vessel will require extra service and care when it is operated under unusual conditions. High or low temperatures, long
periods of hard use, or continued use in a dirty environment will break down the lubricant, requiring more frequent service.
LUBRICATION UNIVERSALS
1.

Always clean fittings before lubricating them. Failure to do so can force contaminants into the bearing.

2.

Always use the PMCS work packages as the guide for lubrication.

3.

Never use the wrong type/grade of lubricant.

4.

Never use too much lubricant.

WARNING

Batteries produce hydrogen gas. This gas is explosive. Keep the work area free of
sparks, open flame, and excessive heat. Take care to prevent conductive metal tools
from arcing between the positive and negative terminals. Failure to comply with these
precautions can result in serious injury or death.
Batteries are filled with a sulfuric acid-based electrolyte. This electrolyte is extremely
corrosive to human tissue and to many other materials. Chemical protective gloves,
chemical protective goggles, face shield, and chemical protective apron must be worn at
all times when the batteries are being serviced. If electrolyte comes in contact with
clothing or other material, wash the affected area with large volumes of fresh water. If
electrolyte comes in contact with the skin, flush the area with large volumes of water. If
the electrolyte comes in contact with the eyes, flush them with large volumes of water.
Continue flushing the affected area until medical assistance arrives. Failure to comply
can result in serious injury or death.
NOTE
Whenever working with batteries, the negative cable must be disconnected first, the
positive cable next, and the interconnecting cable (if installed) last. When connecting
the batteries, the interconnecting cable (if installed) must be connected first, the positive cable next, and the negative cable last.

GENERAL
Two primary types of gauges are used on the LCM-8 Mod 2: gauges with electric senders and direct reading gauges. The
two types of gauges can be distinguished by observing the back side of the gauge. Gauges with electric senders have only
wires connected to their back sides. Direct reading gauges have a hose or line connected to the back side. Direct reading
gauges may also have wiring connected to their back sides.
REMOVAL--ALL GAUGES

WARNING

Replace or repair components only after the affected circuit has been secured, locked
out, and tagged out. Performing replacement with the circuit energized may result in

TESTING

WARNING

Take great care when working around energized electrical equipment. Contact between
unprotected body parts and electrical conductors can cause serious injury or death. Do
not wear jewelry or other conductive items while servicing energized electrical equipment. Failure to comply can cause serious injury or death.
Batteries produce hydrogen gas. This gas is explosive. Keep the work area free of
sparks, open flame, and excessive heat. Take care to prevent conductive metal tools
from arcing between the positive and negative terminals. Failure to comply with these
precautions can result in serious injury or death.
Batteries are filled with a sulfuric acid-based electrolyte. This electrolyte is extremely
corrosive to human tissue and to many other materials. Chemical protective gloves,
chemical protective goggles, face shield, and chemical protective apron must be worn at
all times when the batteries are being serviced. If electrolyte comes in contact with
clothing or other material, wash the affected area with large volumes of fresh water. If
electrolyte comes in contact with the skin, flush the area with large volumes of water. If
the electrolyte comes in contact with the eyes, flush them with large volumes of water.
Continue flushing the affected area until medical assistance arrives. Failure to comply
could result in serious injury or death.
1.

Don chemical protective gloves, goggles and/or face shield and chemical protective apron.

0092 00-1

TM 55-1905-242-14

0092 00

TESTING (continued)
2.

Remove the battery filler caps (1) and check the liquid level of each battery cell. The liquid level should be at the bottom
of the split ring on each cell.
NOTE
To get an accurate reading, the liquid of the battery cell should be at normal height when
the battery is tested. Any water added to the battery should be thoroughly mixed with
the electrolyte by charging the battery before testing. If the battery is dry, and a field
charge is not permitted, replace defective battery.

3.

If necessary, add distilled water to the battery and bring it to its normal level.

4.

Charge the battery to mix the water with the existing electrolyte.

5.

Insert the tip of the tester into a cell and draw enough electrolyte to float the glass hydrometer in the barrel of the tester.

6.

Take and record the electrolyte specific gravity reading.

7.

Check the tester thermometer. Record the thermometer reading along with the specific gravity reading.

8.

Return the electrolyte to the battery cell and install the battery caps (1).

9.

Repeat steps 5-8 for all the other battery cells.

10. If the temperature of the electrolyte is above or below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the specific gravity reading must be
adjusted as follows:
a.

For every 10 degrees Fahrenheit below 80 degrees Fahrenheit, subtract four specific gravity units (0.004) from the
electrolyte reading taken.

b.

For every 10 degrees above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, add four specific gravity units (0.004) to the electrolyte reading
taken (refer to the examples in this work package).

0092 00-2

TM 55-1905-242-14

0092 00

TESTING (continued)
EXAMPLE 1
The battery electrolyte temperature reading is 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the hydrometer shows a specific gravity of 1.240. Since 60 degrees is two 10s below 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, you must subtract two 4s or eight specific gravity units (0.008) from the
hydrometer reading. This leaves a corrected specific gravity reading of 1.232.
EXAMPLE 2
The battery electrolyte temperature is down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the hydrometer shows a specific gravity of 1.256. Subtract 20 from 80 to get 6 10s difference,
therefore, 6 4s (0.024) must be subtracted from 1.256. This gives a corrected specific
gravity of 1.232.
EXAMPLE 3
The battery electrolyte temperature reading is 100 degrees Fahrenheit and the hydrometer specific gravity reading is 1.224. The electrolyte temperature is two 10s above 80
degrees Fahrenheit. You must add two 4s or eight specific gravity units (0.008) to the
original float reading to get a corrected specific gravity reading of 1.232.
11. A fully charged battery should have a specific gravity (adjusted to 80 degrees Fahrenheit) of 1.260 to 1.270. If the
adjusted specific gravity is below 1.225, charge the battery.
12. After charging, again check each cell of the battery as described above. Each cell must be within 0.025 specific gravity
of all the other cells. If a greater difference exists between any two cells, the battery is defective. Replace the battery.
13. After using tester, flush it with clean, clear water.
14. Install the battery caps (1).

5, and 13) on the junction box (6).

After installing all of the components, clear the lockouts and tagouts and test the operation of the system as follows:
a.

Set to ON the POWER toggle switch and observe the remote display unit (7). The remote display should show the
default declination value (00) for two seconds, and then change to Compass Heading mode.

b.

Set to the LIGHT ON position the POWER toggle switch. Rotate the DIMMER control and observe that the lighting
varies between OFF and full brightness.

c.

Proceed to the Calibration procedure in this work package and calibrate the unit.

CALIBRATION
During calibration, the vessel is steered through two slow, continuous circles while the digital compass conducts its
calibration routine. As the vessel turns through the circles, the remote display unit shows sequential displays of CAL, the
present heading, and a three digit calibration score. The three digit score indicates the quality of the calibration (on a scale
of 1 to 9, with 1 being the worst and 9 being the best), the quality of the local magnetic environment (using the same scoring
method), and the number of calibrations conducted (the third digit is a rollover counter that increments by one with each
calibration). To calibrate the unit:
1.

Position the vessel in an area large enough to conduct two large, slow circles over a period of several minutes. Each full
circle requires at least two minutes to complete (i.e. the turn rate should not exceed three degrees per second). The
starting heading is not important, nor is the direction of the turn.

2.

Set to ON the POWER toggle switch and allow the digital compass to go through its self-test routine.

3.

When ready to begin calibration, steady on any heading, then press and hold down the SET CRS pushbutton (16) for
approximately eight seconds, or until the remote display unit shows CAL. Release the SET CRS pushbutton.

CALIBRATION (continued)
NOTE
Calibration will not be effective if the vessel is turned too quickly. The vessels rate of
turn must not exceed three degrees per second.
4.

Put the helm over in the direction to be steered and set the rudder angle so that the vessels turn rate does not exceed
approximately three degrees per second. Maintain speed and rudder angle until two full circles have been executed.

5.

As the vessel is turning, note that the remote display unit cycles through CAL, a three digit heading, and a three digit
calibration score. In a few rare instances, the latest calibration score digit may change in as little as 36. This is not
indicative of a faulty calibration. Sometimes the last digit may change before the circle is completed. Rapid rollover of
the final digit indicates that the sensor is receiving incrementally better data and is updating memory on the fly.

6.

Upon completion of the second circle, note the three digit calibration score. The score might read 96x. This means that
the quality of the calibration is superior and the local magnetic environment is relatively benign; the x represents the
last calibration and may be any value between 1 and 9. The goal is to have the first and second digits as close to 9 as
possible. Proper location of the processor unit, free from strong local magnetic disturbances, quite often yields a score
of 88x or better on the first calibration.

7.

Leave the calibration mode by briefly pressing and releasing the SET CRS pushbutton (16). The digital compass will
return to the compass heading display mode.
NOTE
The digital compass must be left ON for at least ten seconds after leaving the calibration
mode. If the unit is turned OFF before ten seconds have elapsed, the calibration factors
will not be stored in memory.

8.

Leave the digital compass ON for at least ten seconds after leaving the calibration mode in order to store the calibration
factors in the memory.

ALIGN (continued)
NOTE
The dial indicator fixing stand must be fastened to the pump flange in order to obtain an
accurate reading. Fastening the fixing stand to the engine flange will result in inaccurate
readings.
6.

Fasten the dial indicator fixing stand (6) to the pump flange (7) as shown below to check the angular alignment.

7.

Position the dial indicator (8) against the engine flange (9) as shown. The dial indicator should have a 0.200 inch to 0.300
inch preload when installed against the engine flange.

8.

Zero the dial indicator (8) by twisting its bezel (10).

9.

Slowly rotate the pump shaft (11) while noting the dial indicator (8) reading. Note how far the dial indicator needle moves
to either side of zero. Add the readings on both sides of zero to determine the amount of angular misalignment. For
example, if the dial indicator needle moves 0.002 inch to one side of zero and 0.004 inch to the other side of zero, add the
two readings (0.002 in + 0.004 in = 0.006 in) to determine that the angular misalignment is 0.006 inch.

10. Maximum angular misalignment is 0.150 inch (3.80 mm). If the angular misalignment exceeds this specification, the
misalignment must be corrected. Angular misaligment is corrected by loosening the pump mounting bolts and repositioning (rotating) the pump on its mounting. After adjusting the alignment, tighten the pump mounting bolts and recheck the alignment.

11. Reposition the dial indicator (12) as shown to check the parallel alignment. The dial indicator should have a 0.200 inch
to 0.300 inch preload when installed against the engine flange.
12. Zero the dial indicator (12) by twisting its bezel (13).
13. Slowly rotate the pump shaft (14) while noting the dial indicator (12) reading. Note how far the dial indicator needle
moves to either side of zero. Add the readings on both sides of zero to determine the amount of parallel misalignment.
For example, if the dial indicator needle moves 0.002 inch to one side of zero and 0.004 inch to the other side of zero, add
the two readings (0.002 in + 0.004 in = 0.006 in) to determine that the parallel misalignment is 0.006 inch.

14. Maximum parallel misalignment is 0.150 inch (3.80 mm). If the parallel misalignment exceeds this specification, the
misalignment must be corrected. Parallel misalignment is corrected by loosening the pump mounting bolts, fabricating
shims from shim stock, and placing the shims between the pump mounting pads and the pump mounts. After adjusting
the alignment, tighten the pump mounting bolts and recheck the alignment.
15. It is frequently necessary to adjust both the angular and the parallel alignment several times before the correct alignment
is obtained. Once the proper angular and parallel alignment measurements are obtained, retighten the mounting bolts
one last time and recheck the measurement.
16. Once the final alignment has been obtained and rechecked, install the pump drive shaft (2) and secure it in place with the
six bolts (1).
17. Install the fire pump drive shaft guard.
18. Remove the lockouts and tagouts and check the operation of the fire pump, watching for any unusual noise or vibration.

DISASSEMBLY (continued)
NOTE
The joint between the outlet elbow and the elbow is supported by ball bearings. These
ball bearings are easily lost during Disassembly. In order to prevent the loss of ball
bearings, place several wiping rags under the joint during Disassembly.
3.

Position several wiping rags under the joint between the outlet elbow (6) and the elbow (7). Turn the outlet elbow to
permit the outer (8) and inner (9) ball bearings to fall from the swivel plug (5) holes. It may be necessary to insert a length
of flexible wire into the swivel plug holes to coax the ball bearings out.

4.

Count and record the number of outer (8) and inner (9) ball bearings that were removed from the joint. There are normally
56 outer ball bearings and 45 inner ball bearings, but this number can vary.

5.

Use a twisting, pulling motion to separate the outlet elbow (6) from the elbow (7). If the components do not come apart
easily, repeat step 3 to ensure that all of the outer (8) and inner (9) ball bearings have been removed from the joint.
NOTE
The upper and lower friction screws are not interchangeable. Tag these screws during
Disassembly to ensure that they are installed in the proper locations during Assembly.

DISASSEMBLY

WARNING

Cleaning solvent is flammable and its vapor is potentially explosive. Do not use cleaning solvent in the vicinity of spark, open flame, or excessive heat. Do not use cleaning
solvent in unventilated spaces. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death.
Do not allow hydraulic fluid or cleaning solvent to come in contact with unprotected
skin or eyes. Prolonged skin contact can cause illness or injury. Eye contact can cause
serious injury. Always wear chemical protective gloves and goggles when handling
used hydraulic fluid and cleaning solvent. Failure to comply can result in illness, serious injury, or death.
1.

Don chemical protective gloves and goggles.

2.

Loosen the clamping screw (1) that clamps the waste oil pump (2) to the motor (3). Slide the waste oil pump off the
motor, taking care not to lose the coupling (4).

3.

Remove the screws (5) that attach the body (6) to the cover (7). Remove the cover and the O-ring (8).

4.

DISASSEMBLY (continued)
7.

If the bearings (12) will be replaced, use a small chisel to chip them out of their bores. The bearing material is very brittle
and will chip out easily. Take care not to damage the bearing bores during removal.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION


1.

If not already on, don protective gloves and goggles.

2.

Wash all parts in cleaning solvent and dry them with clean wiping rags.

3.

Check the cover (7) and body (6) for signs of wear or scoring. Replace the body and/or cover if scoring or wear is
present.

4.

Check the amount of bearing wear by sliding the exposed (coupling) end of the drive gear (9) shaft into each of the four
bearings (12) and check for side play. Replace the bearings if the shaft side play (13) exceeds 0.006 inch (0.15 mm). A new
shaft in new bearings should have a side play of 0.002 to 0.003 inch (0.05 to 0.08 mm). If the bearings require replacement,
replace them before performing the remaining clearance inspections.

5.

Check the clearance between the gear teeth and the gear chamber (14) by installing the gears and measuring the clearance
with a feeler gauge. If the gear teeth to gear chamber clearance exceeds 0.010 inch (0.25 mm), the waste oil pump (2) is beyond
repair and must be replaced.

6.

Check the gears for gear teeth wear (15). Gear teeth wear occurs on the pressure face of each tooth only. The extent of
wear can be approximated by visualizing the tooth profile on the back face transposed to the pressure face. Replace the
gears if they show signs of wear.

0172 00-2

TM 55-1905-242-14

0172 00

CLEANING AND INSPECTION (continued)


7.

Check the gears for side wear by noting the level of the gear face below the flange surface. For a new waste oil
pump, the gear face is even with or slightly above 0.001 inch (0.03 mm) the body flange. If the gear face is lower
than 0.005 inch (0.03 mm) below the flange, replace the gears or the body as necessary.

CLEANING

! CAUTION
Never use cleaning solvent or other substances to clean the thrust plates. Clean the
thrust plates only with clean, lint free wiping rags. Any other cleaning method can result
in damage to the thrust plates.
1.

Clean the thrust plates with clean wiping rags.

2.

Don protective gloves and goggles.

3.

Clean all parts except the thrust plates with cleaning solvent and dry with clean wiping rags. Allow the roller bearings to
air dry after cleaning.

INSPECTION
1.

Discard all O-rings, backup washers, and pocket seals and replace with new.

2.

Inspect the roller bearings to ensure that the rollers roll freely. Inspect the rollers for pits, breaks, or excessive wear.
Replace the bearing(s) if any of these conditions exist.

3.

Inspect the gears for scoring or roughness. Remove minor roughness with a fine hone. Replace any gears showing more
than minor scoring or roughness.
NOTE
If any of the gears or roller bearings are replaced because of excessive wear, it is good
practice to replace both the gears and the bearings. Replacement of one part and not the
other will cause premature wear of the new part because of its attempt to conform to the
wear pattern of the old part. Also, if the gears and bearings are replaced due to excessive
wear, carefully check the side of the gear housing bore that has the most wear. In most
cases, the gear housing will also have to be replaced along with the gears and bearings.

4.

Inspect the sun gear hubs and planet gear for excessive wear at the bearing points. If the wear exceeds 0.001 inch (0.03 mm)
on the hub diameter, the gear should be replaced. Replace gears in sets since they are matched at the time of manufacture.

0190 00-4

TM 55-1905-242-14

0190 00

INSPECTION (continued)
5.

Inspect the machined surfaces of the port end cover, shaft end cover, and gear housing for roughness. Stone to remove
minor roughness. Replace if roughness is excessive.

6.

Measure the gear housing bore. A new housing measures 2.0025 inch (50.86 mm) in the small bores and 3.7525
inch (95.31 mm) in the large bore. Replace the gear housing if the radial wear exceeds 0.006 inch (0.15 mm).

7.

Inspect the thrust plates for erosion or excessive wear on the running surfaces. Replace if necessary.

8.

Inspect the motor shaft for distortion. Replace the motor shaft if it is bent or otherwise distorted.

9.

Rewash all parts except the thrust plates and dry thoroughly.

ALIGNMENT
NOTE
Propeller shaft alignment is not permanently fixed. The alignment changes with every
docking due to changes in the keel blocking, temperature variations, and the direction of
the suns rays relative to the fore and aft line of the vessel. The alignment of shafting is
affected by the temporary removal of machinery attached to the shafting or in the
vicinity of the shafting because of the redistribution of weights and stresses. The
alignment is not the same when the vessel is waterborne as when it is in drydock. The
final alignment and bolting of the main propulsion shafting should always be done
when the vessel is waterborne.
1.

Remove the bolts (1) and nuts (2) that secure the shaft coupling (3) to the transmission output flange (4).

2.

Slide the propeller shaft (5) back to allow clearance between the shaft coupling (3) and the transmission output
flange (4).

3.

Clean the mating faces of the shaft coupling (3) and the transmission output flange (4) with a wire brush, ensuring that
both surfaces are clean, smooth, and free of corrosion.

4.

Fasten the dial indicator fixing stand (6) to the shaft coupling (3) as shown to check the angular alignment.

ALIGNMENT (continued)
5.

Position the dial indicator (7) against the transmission output flange (4) as shown. The dial indicator should have a 0.100
inch to 0.200 inch preload when installed against the transmission output flange.

6.

Zero the dial indicator (7) by twisting its bezel (8).

7.

Slowly rotate the propeller shaft (5) while noting the dial indicator (7) reading. Note how far the dial indicator needle
moves to either side of zero. Add the readings on both sides of zero to determine the amount of angular misalignment.
For example, if the dial indicator needle moves 0.002 inch to one side of zero and 0.004 inch to the other side of zero, add
the two readings (0.002 inch + 0.004 inch = 0.006 inch) to determine that the angular misalignment is 0.006 inch.

8.

Maximum allowable angular misalignment is 0.025 inch (0.10 mm). Angular misalignment is corrected by loosening the
engine/marine transmission mounting bolts and repositioning the engine and marine transmission as necessary. After
adjusting the alignment, tighten the engine/marine transmission mounting bolts and recheck the alignment.

9.

Reposition the dial indicator (9) as shown to check the parallel alignment. The dial indicator should have a 0.100 inch to
0.200 inch preload when installed against the engine flange.

10. Slowly rotate the propeller shaft (5) while noting the dial indicator (9) reading. Note how far the dial indicator needle
moves to either side of zero. Add the readings on both sides of zero to determine the amount of parallel misalignment.
For example, if the dial indicator needle moves 0.002 inch to one side of zero and 0.004 inch to the other side of zero, add
the two readings (0.002 inch + 0.004 inch = 0.006 inch) to determine that the parallel misalignment is 0.006 inch.

0202 00-2

TM 55-1905-242-14

0202 00

ALIGNMENT (continued)

11. Maximum allowable parallel misalignment is 0.025 inch (0.10 mm). Parallel misalignment is corrected by loosening the
engine/marine transmission mounting bolts, and adjusting the engine and marine transmission up, down, or sideways as
necessary. After adjusting the alignment, tighten the engine/marine transmission mounting bolts and recheck the
alignment.
12. It is frequently necessary to adjust both the angular and the parallel alignment several times before the correct alignment
is obtained. Once the proper angular and parallel alignment measurements are obtained, retighten the mounting bolts
one last time and recheck the measurement.
13. Once the final alignment has been obtained, slide the propeller shaft (5) forward to mate the shaft coupling (3) and the
transmission output flange (4).
14. Secure the shaft coupling (3) to the transmission output flange (4) with the bolts (1) and nuts (2).
15. Remove the lockouts and tagouts and check the operation of the propulsion system, watching for any unusual noise or
vibration.

ASSEMBLY--CONTROL SECTION (continued)


6.

Lubricate the control spool (15) with clean hydraulic fluid and slide it into the control sleeve (16) using a twisting motion.
The control spool should slide in and rotate easily.

7.

Align the spring slots of the control spool (15) and control sleeve (16) and install the centering spring set (17) using the
spring installation tool.

8.

Install the centering pin (18) through the control spool (15) and control sleeve (16) assembly.

9.

Install the control spool (15) and control sleeve (16) assembly in the housing (14) so that the splined end of the control
spool enters the housing first. Check that the assembly rotates freely in the housing.

10. Install new preformed packing (11 and 12) and bushing (13) in the housing (14).
11. Install the oil seal (10) in the mounting plate (9) and install the mounting plate on the housing (14). Secure the
mounting plate with the capscrews (8).

! CAUTION
Alignment of the cross slot in the drive with valleys between the teeth of the meter gear
star determines the proper valve timing of the unit. There are 12 teeth on the spline and
six pump teeth on the star. Alignment is exactly right in six positions and exactly wrong
in six positions. If the parts slip out of position during this part of the assembly, repeat
until you are certain that correct alignment is obtained.
12. Place the plate (29) over the housing (14) so that both holes in the plate align with the tapped holes in the housing.
Place the meter gear (27) on the assembly as the bolt holes align.
13. Place the splined end of the drive shaft (30) within the star gear (28) so that the slot at the control end of the drive shaft
(30) is in alignment with the valleys between the meter gear (27) teeth. Push the splined end of the drive shaft so that
the spline extends about one half its length beyond the meter gear star.
14. Install the drive shaft (30) and star gear (28) assembly into the housing (14) so that the star gear fits into the meter
gear (27).
15. Rotate the star gear (28) slightly to bring the cross slot of the drive shaft (30) into engagement with the centering
pin (18).
16. Install the shaft spacer (26) in the slot of the star gear (28) so that it is flush with the star gear surface. If the spacer does
not drop flush with the star gear surface, the drive shaft (30) has not been properly engaged with the centering pin (18).
17. Install the end cap (25) and secure it with the capscrews (24).
ASSEMBLY--SHAFT AND FLANGE ASSEMBLY
1.

Install the retaining ring (4), bearing (3), and retaining rings (1 and 2) onto the shaft (5).

MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION CHART (MAC)
INTRODUCTION
THE ARMY MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT 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 0 (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 are limited to and defined as follows:
1.

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). This includes scheduled inspection
and gaugings and evaluation of cannon tubes.

2.

Test. To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical characteristics of an item
and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards on a scheduled basis, i.e., load testing of lift devices and
hydrostatic testing of pressure hoses.

3.

Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition; e.g., to clean (includes decontaminate, when required), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, chemical fluids, or gases. This
includes scheduled exercising and purging of recoil mechanisms.

4.

Adjust. To maintain or regulate, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper position, or by setting the operating
characteristics to specified parameters.

5.

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

6.

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

7.

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 functioning of an equipment or system.

0226 00-1

TM 55-1905-242-14

0226 00

Maintenance Functions (continued)


8.

Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place. Replace is authorized by
the MAC and assigned maintenance level is shown as the third position code of the Source, Maintenance and Recoverability (SMR) code.

9.

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

10. 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. Overhaul is normally the
highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does not normally return an item to like new condition.
11. 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 materiel maintenance
applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to zero those age measurements (e.g.,
hours/miles) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.
Explanation of Columns in the MAC
Column (1) - Group Number. Column (1) lists FGC numbers, the purpose of which is to identify maintenance significant
components, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the Next Higher Assembly (NHA).
Column (2) - Component/Assembly. Column (2) contains the item names of components, assemblies, subassemblies, and
modules for which maintenance is authorized.
Column (3) - Maintenance Function. Column (3) lists the functions to be performed on the item listed in column (2). (For a
detailed explanation of these functions refer to Maintenance Functions outlined above.)

This fine document...


Was brought to you by me:

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals


Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly
available information, slap watermarks and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that
sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?
I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US
Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share,
republish, sell and so on.
I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please
provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in
search engines:
