WARNING
After the squib has been installed in the EPJD, handle EPJD from the
bottom only. Failure to do so can result in injury to personnel.
WARNING
The squib is a pyrotechnic device. The squib must be handled and installed
with the squib cable and safety cap attached. DO NOT SEPARATE SQUIB
CABLE WITH SAFETY CAP FROM THE SQUIB UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY
THIS TECHNICAL MANUAL. Use care when handling the live squib to
prevent accidental firing of the device. Avoid dropping or jarring the squib and
avoid static electricity. Failure to follow precautions can result in serious burn
or eye injury to personnel.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles and hand protection when handling the squib
WARNING
WARNING
Ensure that the safety pin is locking the cutter blade into the cutter block of
the EPJD-H before the squib is installed. Ensure knife blade is pointed in a
safe direction. After the squib has been installed, only handle the EPJD-H
from the bottom. Failure to do so can result in serious hand injury to
personnel.
WARNING
Trapped gases. When removing a fired squib, there may be residual gases
trapped inside the cutter block. Back the squib out of the cutter block slowly
to allow any gases built up inside the cylinder to escape at a controlled rate.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
When a new system is introduced to the Army inventory, it is the responsibility of the receiving units to notify
and inform the Unit Publications Clerk that a Technical Manual is available for the new system. Throughout
the life cycle of the new system, the Publications Proponent will also provide updates and changes to the
Technical Manual.
To receive new Technical Manuals or change packages to existing Technical Manuals (TM) for fielded
equipment, provide the Unit Publications Clerk the full Technical Manual number, title, date of publication, and
number of copies required. The Unit Publications Clerk will justify the request through the Unit Publications
Officer. When the request is approved, the Unit Publications Clerk will use DA Form 12-R to order the series
of Technical Manuals from the Army Publishing Directorate (APD).
Obtain DA Form 12-R and request a publications account from the APD Web site at http://www.apd.army.mil.
Once on the Website, click on the “Orders/Subscriptions/Reports” tab. From the dropdown menu, select
“Establish an Account,” then select “Tutorial” and follow the instructions in the tutorial presentation.
Complete information for obtaining Army publications can be found in DA PAM 25-33.
Manual Organization and Page Numbering System. The manual is divided into two major chapters that
detail the topics mentioned above. Within each chapter are work packages covering a wide range of topics.
Each work package is numbered sequentially starting at page 1. The work package has its own page-
numbering scheme and is independent of the page numbering used by other work packages. Each page of a
work package has a page number of the format XXXX YY-ZZ where XXXX is the work package number (e.g.
0010 00 is work package 10), YY is the revision number for that work package, and ZZ represents the number
of the page within that work package. A page number such as 0010 00-1/(2 Blank) means that page 1
contains information but page 2 of that work package has been intentionally left blank.
In this manual, primary chapters appear in upper case/capital letters; work packages are presented in
numeric sequence, e.g., 0001 00; paragraphs within a work package are not numbered and are presented in
a titles format. For a first level paragraph, title all upper case/capital letters, e.g., INTRODUCTION, the next
subordinate paragraph title will have the first letter of the first word of each principle word all upper
case/capital letters, e.g., How to Use This Manual. The location of additional material that must be referenced
is clearly marked. Figures supporting maintenance procedures/text are located as close as possible to their
references.
Front matter, of this manual, consists of front cover, warning summary, title block, table of contents, and
how to use this manual page. Chapter 1 (Introduction) contains general information and equipment
descriptions. Chapter 2 (Operator Instructions) contains service upon receipt and Preventive Maintenance
Checks and Services (PMCS) information. Chapter 3 (Unit Maintenance Instructions) contains maintenance
procedures authorized at the unit level. Chapter 4 (Supporting Information) contains references,
expendable and durable items list, maintenance allocation char, repair parts and special tools list, national
stock number index, part number index, illustrated list of manufactured items, and torque limits. Rear matter
consists of alphabetical index, DA Form 2028, authentication page, and back cover.
Finding Information. The Table of Contents permits the reader to find information in the manual quickly. The
reader should start here first when looking for a specific topic. The Table of Contents lists the topics contained
within each chapter and the Work Package Sequence Number where it can be found.
Example: If the reader were looking for instructions on "Disassemble Extraction Force Transfer
Coupling", which is a Unit Maintenance topic, the Table of Contents indicates that Unit Maintenance
information can be found in Chapter 3. Scanning down the listings for Chapter 2, "Disassemble
Extraction Force Transfer Coupling" information can be found in WP 0013 00 (Work Package 13).

Purpose of Equipment. The LVADS Ancillary Equipment includes miscellaneous canvas, webbing, and
metal items necessary for attaching parachutes to airdrop cargo loads. This equipment is used by
airborne/rigger qualified personnel. It does not include the parachutes or platforms used in Low Velocity Air
Drop.
While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other
materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these
materials may be a corrosion problem.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using SF 368 PQDR. Use of keywords such as
"corrosion”, "rust", "deterioration", or "cracking" will ensure the information is identified as a CPC problem.
The form should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8, Functional Users Manual for the
Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS).
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Objective. Methods of destruction used to inflict damage on air delivery equipment should make it
impossible to restore equipment to a usable condition in a combat zone by either repair or
cannibalization.
Authority. Destruction of air delivery equipment that is in imminent danger of capture by an enemy is a
command decision that must be made by a battalion or higher commander, or the equivalent.
Implementation plan. All units, that possess air delivery equipment, should have a plan for the
implementation of destruction procedures.
Training. All personnel who use or perform such functions as rigging, packing, maintenance, or storage of air
delivery equipment should receive thorough training on air delivery equipment destruction procedures and
methods. The destruction methods demonstrated during training should be simulated. Upon completion of
training, all applicable personnel should be thoroughly familiar with air delivery equipment destruction
methods and be capable of performing destruction without immediate reference to any publication.
SPECIFIC METHODS:
Specific methods of destroying Army materiel to prevent enemy use shall be by mechanical means, fire, or by
use of natural surroundings.
Destruction by Mechanical Means. Air delivery equipment metal assemblies, parts, and packing aids
shall be destroyed using hammers, bolt cutters, files, hacksaws, drills, screwdrivers, crowbars, or other
similar devices used to smash, break, bend or cut.
WARNING
Destruction by Fire. Items that can be destroyed by fire shall be burned. The destruction of equipment by
use of fire is an effective method of destroying low-melting-point metal items (e.g., cutter brackets, threaded
portions of nuts and bolts, and clevises). However, mechanical destruction should be completed first,
whenever possible, before initiating destruction by fire. When items to be destroyed are made of metal, textile
materials (or some comparable low combustible material) should be packed under and around the items, then
soaked with a flammable petroleum product and ignited. Proper concentration of equipment, which is suitable
for burning, will provide a hotter and more destructive fire.
Destruction by Use of Natural Surroundings. Small vital parts of assemblies, which are easily accessible,
may be disposed of as follows: Disposal or denial of equipment to an enemy may be accomplished through
use of natural surroundings. Accessible vital parts may be removed and scattered through dense foliage,
buried in dirt or sand, or thrown into a lake or other body of water. Total submersion of equipment in a body
of water will provide water damage as well as concealment. Salt water will inflict extensive damage to air
delivery equipment.

of this manual. You must also observe specific warnings and cautions specified throughout this manual. The
warnings are provided to tell you how to protect yourself from serious injury or death.
Care and Handling. Every effort shall be made to protect equipment from weather elements, dust, dirt, oil,
grease, and acid.
SPECIAL TOOLS, TEST MEASUREMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT (TMDE), AND SUPPORT
EQUIPMENT
Calibrate the Initiator Simulator Box every 180 days, with Squib Cable Pin Gauge (P/N 811-00629).
Characteristics. All equipment is lightweight and heavy-duty. Equipment can be combined in multiple
configurations for customization.
Capabilities and Features. Safely drop platform loads without landing aircraft. Drop single platform or
multiple platforms.
Multi-Loop Line. The multi-loop line (1) is constructed of type XXVI nylon. These lines are used for
extraction lines, deployment lines, bag clustering lines, riser extensions, and suspension slings. They have
a sliding webbing keeper (2) on each end and one or more fixed keepers (3) constructed of nylon filament
pressure sensitive tape. They have buffers (4) on the inside of both loops.
1. One-Loop Line. The one-loop lines are made in 36- , 60- and 160-foot (11.0- and 48.8-m) lengths.
The 36-foot (11-m) one-loop line has no sliding keepers.
2. Two-Loop Line. The two-loop lines are made in 3-, 9-, 11-, 12-, 16-, 20-, and 120-foot (0.9-, 2.7-, 3.4-,
3.7-, 4.9-, 6.1-, 36.6-m) lengths.
3. Three-Loop Line. The three-loop lines are made in 60- and 140-foot (18.3- and 42.7-m) lengths.
4. Four-Loop Line. The four-loop lines are made in 3-, 9-, 11-, 12-, 16-,20-, and 28-foot (0.9-, 2.7-, 3.4-,
3.7-, 4.9-, 6.1-, 8.5-m) lengths.
5. Six-Loop Line. The six-loop lines are made in 60- and 120-foot (18.3- and 36.6-m) lengths.
Extraction Force Transfer Coupling. The extraction force transfer coupling consists of an actuator
assembly (1), connector, latch assembly (2), latch assembly (3), link assembly coupling, EFTC (4), a link
assembly adapter (5), and a cable assembly (6). The coupling transfers the pull force of a cargo extraction
parachute from the extracted airdrop load to the cargo parachute deployment line. Immediately after the
load departs the aircraft, the arm of the actuator assembly (1) is released and pulls upon the cable
assembly (6). The pull on this cable, in turn, causes the latch assembly (3) to release the link assembly (4),
transferring the pull force. The cable assembly (6) is constructed in 12-, 16-, 20-, 24-, and 28-foot (3.7-,
4.9-, 6.1-, 7.3-, 8.5-m) lengths. The link assembly adapter (5) connects an extraction line to the link
assembly (4). It is equipped with a larger spacer (7) and a small spacer (8) that distribute the extraction
force applied to the link assembly by providing a two or three loop separation when a five and six-loop
extraction line is used. The connector, latch assembly (2) connects the latch assembly (3) to the extraction
bracket mounted on the platform.

M-1 Cargo Parachute Release. The M-1 cargo parachute release consists of an arming wire lanyard (1),
arming wire (2), parachute connectors (3), upper load suspension link (4), a timer delay assembly contained
within the release body (5), and lower suspension links (6). A cargo parachute release separates medium
(64-foot diameter G-12) or large (100-foot diameter G-11) cargo parachutes from an air dropped load upon
ground contact. This prevents the dragging or overturning of the load by winds. The M-1 Cargo Parachute
Release is designed for use in the airdrop of loads weighing from 200 to 15,000-pounds (90 to 6,800-kg).
The M-1 release is capable of accommodating three G-11 or two G-12 cargo parachutes. The two lower
suspension links connect to four airdrop platform suspension slings. Cargo parachutes are joined to the M1
release by connectors that are held in place by a toggle mechanism. The parachutes separate when the
release body tilts at a critical angle as the suspended load contacts the ground. The mechanical delay
release timer prevents early separation. The timer is activated when the load parachute(s) begin to deploy,
pulling on the arming wire lanyard (1) that is attached to an arming wire (2) installed in the release timer.

diameter sleeve (3) instead of a bolt and nut. It is used as an attachment for suspension sleeves.
NOTE
The only screw pin clevises authorized for use are the ones manufactured after
January 1984. These clevises can be identified by their zinc chromate finish,
which has a lustrous silver color.
Clevis Cover. The clevis cover is made of type II cotton duck with a type VII cotton webbing (1)
reinforcement and three brass grommets (2). The cover has a slot cut in the closed end to allow passage of
the suspension slings. Grommets near the mouth of the cover permit tying the cover around the
suspension clevis bolt and nut.
Single Knife Parachute Release Strap. This parachute release strap (1) is made of 1 ¾-inch wide by 8-
foot-long (4.4-cm wide by 2.4-m long) type VIII cotton webbing. A release knife (2) is attached to one end of
the strap and a quick-fit fastener (3) is attached 6-inches (15 cm) from the knife. This strap provides a
means for cutting the parachute restraint strap, releasing the cargo parachutes from the load.
Multi-Knife Parachute Release Strap. The multi-cut parachute release strap is made of 1-inch-wide, 11-
foot-long (2.5-cm wide, 3.4-m long), type III nylon webbing (1). Up to three release knives (2) can be
attached to loops that are 10 ½-inches (27-cm) long. The strap provides a means for cutting the parachute
restraint strap, releasing the cargo parachute from the load.

Extraction Parachute Jettison Device (EPJD and EPJD-H). The EPJD couples the extraction line with
the 3-point-link assembly. The EPJD-H functions as the 3 point link assembly to connect one or two
extraction parachutes to the payload. One device is required for each platform. In normal operation, the
extraction parachute is deployed and the payload exits the aircraft. In the event the extraction parachute is
deployed and the payload fails to exit the aircraft, the load master can activate the JETTISON SWITCH on
the control box which fires the squibs in the system, cutting the extraction line on the EPJD-H and releasing
the line on the EPJD which releases the extraction parachute(s) from the payload(s).

EPJD EPJD-H
Y-Connector. The Y-connector contains a LAMP TEST switch, a blue indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED),
a connector for the platform cable, and two connectors for the interconnecting cables. The LAMP TEST
switch, when pressed, will illuminate the blue LEDs when the system is installed and powered ON. The
LED, when lit, indicates that one or both circuits from the Y-connector to the squib are intact. The internal
circuit contains capacitors for storing the energy required to fire the squibs and has solid-state switches that
are actuated by the JETTISON SWITCH on the control box. The Y-connector is attached to the Y-
connector mounting box; one set is used for each platform.
The POWER switch has a locking-lever to prevent it from being accidentally switched ON/OFF. The lock is
released by pulling the switch handle out while moving the handle to either position. The switch should
remain in the OFF position until the system is installed and ready for testing or use. Before switching the
power ON, confirm that the JETTISON SWITCH is OFF to prevent the squibs from firing.
The circuit breaker is an aircraft type, 1-amp, trip-free, push-pull. The JETTISON SWITCH is guarded to
prevent accidental firing of the squibs installed in the system. When the JETTISON SWITCH is activated,
all the squibs installed in the system will fire, thus releasing all the extraction lines from their system.
The LAMP TEST switch, when pressed, will illuminate the four blue LEDs on the control box when the
system is installed and powered ON. The blue LEDs, when lit, only indicate the quantity of loads installed,
not their location. If one load is installed, the left-most LED will illuminate. If two loads are installed, the two
left-most LEDs will illuminate. If the quantity of illuminated LEDs does not match the quantity of loads
installed, the LED on the Y-connectors should be observed to determine which load is not installed
correctly.
The DIMMER adjust knot controls the brightness of the LEDs on the control and on the Y-connectors.
Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the brightness, counter-clockwise to decrease the brightness. The
cover of the control box may be rotated in relation to the two cable connectors depending on mission.
Squib. The squib is an electrically initiated gas-generated device. The squib is screwed into a closed
chamber in the housing of the EPJD or the cutter block in the EPJD-H. When the fire signal is sent from the
control box, the gas-generating material in the squib burns and creates a tremendous amount of pressure
inside the system housing. In the EPJD this pressure is used to force a piston up against the latch of the
system, thus breaking the shear bolt and releasing the extraction line. In the EPJD-H the pressure is used
to force a piston with a knife against the webbing to cut the extraction lines after breaking two shear pins
that retain the blade.
Squib Cable. The squib cable is used to connect the squib to the platform cable. The squib cable is 18-
inches long yellow (EPJD) or 24-inches long green (EPJD-H) and is protected with a flexible plastic-wrap
cover to help prevent damage to the cable when the platform hits the ground. The plastic wrap can be
easily removed and replaced during maintenance. The squib cable quick disconnects from the platform
cable when the link assembly is released from the latch assembly.
Platform Cable. The platform cable is used to connect the Y-connector to the squib cable. The connectors
at both ends of the cable are modified to quick disconnect. The platform cable is 10-feet long and secured
to the platform. As the platform exits the aircraft, the platform cable will disconnect from the Y-connector.
After the link assembly is released from the latch assembly, the squib cable will disconnect from the
platform cable.
Main Cable. The main cable is a 50-foot cable used to connect the control box to the Y-connector.
CAUTION
Only the 20-FT power cables with the 2 amp in-line fuse in the connector
plug are authorized for operational use. The new part number is 811-
00630. The new 20-FT power cable comes with blue shrink wrap
behind the connector plug and is marked with the phrase "2 Amp Fuse
Inside".
Power Cable. The power cable is 20-feet long and connects the control box to the 28 VDC iron lung power
outlet in the C-130 aircraft. The C-5 and C-17 aircraft require extension/adapter cables.
Protective Cover. The protective cover is used to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the aircraft and
the EPJD. The EPJD-H does not use a protective cover.
Kit Bag. The kit bag is used for storing the system components. There is a lower-level compartment used
to store the control box, four Y-connectors, four Y-connector mounting boxes and C-5 mounting brackets
and mounting boxes. The upper level compartment stores the cables.
Extension Cable. The C-17 and C-5 aircraft uses the basic EPJS equipment with the addition of an
extension cable. Up to four extension cables (for the platform cables) can be used. Each extension cable
is 4-feet long.
Tie-down Bracket. The tie-down bracket is used to provide a means to secure the Y-connector to the C-5
aircraft to ensure clean disconnects of cable during normal extraction.
CAUTION
Only the 20-FT power cables with the 2 amp in-line fuse in the connector
plug are authorized for operational use. The new part number is 811-
00631. The new 20-FT power cable comes with blue shrink wrap
behind the connector plug and is marked with the phrase "2 Amp Fuse
Inside".
Power Cable Extension. The power cable extension is used to connect the aircraft power to the power
cable. The 20-foot long power cable extension provides aircraft 28 VDC power to the control box. The 20-
foot cable is for the C-17.
Power Cable Adapter. The C-5 aircraft uses the basic EPJS equipment. However, the standard 20-foot
power cable must be adapted to plug into the 28 VDC iron long power outlet in the aircraft. The power
cable adapter performs this function. The power cable adapter connects between the 20-foot power cable
and the 28 VDC iron long power outlet.
Safety Cap. The safety cap is used to prevent accidental firing of the squib. When plugged into the squib
cable, which is in turn plugged into the squib, the squib contacts are shorted together, thus preventing any
electrical charge from being applied to the squib. When not in use, the safety cap is stored by installing in
the side of the EPJD or in the top plate of the EPJD-H.
Ensure the safety pin is properly installed. Failure to comply may result
in injury to personnel.
Safety Pin. The safety pin is used to retain the cutter blade in the EPJD-H cutter housing in case of
accidental firing of the squib. When the safety pin is in place in the cutter housing, the cutter blade will not
cut the line if the squib is activated. When not in use, the safety pin is stored by installing in the top plate of
the EPJD-H.
WARNING

Initiator Simulator. The initiator simulator is used during testing of the EPJS to simulate the squib. When
the EPJS components are connected and functioning properly, the initiator simulator will indicate if the
EPJS jettison circuits are functioning properly. The initiator simulator has two small capacity circuit
breakers that will operate (throw) from ON to OFF when 28 VDC is applied by setting the JETTISON
SWITCH on the control box to ON. The squib has two redundant firing circuits. The two circuit breakers
simulate these two redundant squib firing circuits.
28 VDC Power Supply. The 28 VDC power supply supplies the needed power to test the assembled
components of the EPJS prior to installation. There is a green indicator light that illuminates to show the
system is properly operating. The 28VDC power supply is capable of operating on 220 VAC power.

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT FOR
LOW VELOCITY AIR DROP SYSTEMS (LVADS)
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0003 00
INITIAL SETUP:
OVERVIEW
This chapter contains information necessary to maintain the ancillary equipment for the Low Velocity Air
Drop System at the unit maintenance level, in accordance with the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC)
for the equipment. It includes the following:
6. Repair methods and repair, or replacement, procedures for all components of the ancillary equipment
are listed and illustrated in the unit maintenance procedures of this manual, WP 0007 00 through WP
0060 00.
INITIAL RECEIPT
The following describes the procedures for processing ancillary equipment upon initial receipt.
General Procedures for Air Delivery Equipment. When any of the LVADS Ancillary Equipment is
initially received from a supply source and issued to a using unit, the items will be unpacked from the
shipping containers and inspected by a qualified parachute rigger. The inspection performed will be a
technical/rigger-type inspection that will be conducted as authorized in WP 0007 00, INSPECTION. Upon
completion of the inspection, the items will be tagged as prescribed in DA PAM 738-751. Serviceable
equipment may then be entered either into storage or into use in airdrop operations, as applicable. An
unserviceable item will be held and reported in accordance with WP 0007 00, INSPECTION.
Inspection Personnel. Personnel other than parachute rigger personnel may assist in the unpacking
process of initially received components, as directed by the local air delivery equipment maintenance
officer. However, the maintenance officer will ensure the entire unpacking effort is conducted under the
direct supervision of a qualified parachute rigger (MOS 92R).
Remember that acceptance of new airdrop equipment from manufacturers is based upon inspections
made of sample lots that have been randomly selected in accordance with military standards.
0003 00-1
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0003 00
Changes will sometimes evolve for the original design and occasionally contractors are authorized
deviations of material and construction techniques. Airdrop equipment that has been in the field cannot
be expected to meet exact manufacturing specifications, however, the equipment should closely reflect
desired design characteristics.
Since repairs, modifications, and/or changes can alter or detract from the original configuration, such
equipment shall be air worthy, safe, and adequate for its intended use.
Unpacking. Each component of the LVADS Ancillary Equipment is separately packaged. Use care
when unpacking equipment to avoid damage. Save all containers, shipping cartons, and crates for reuse
when possible.
1. Inspect the equipment for damage incurred during shipping. If the equipment has been damaged,
report damage on an SF 364, Report of Discrepancy. USAF personnel use SF 364 IAW T.O. 00-
35D-54, USAF (Deficiency Reporting and Investigating System) and AFI 21-115 (Deficiencies Across
Component Lines) Chapter 5.
2. Check the equipment against the packing slip to see if the shipment is complete. Report all
discrepancies in accordance with the instructions of DA PAM 738-750 or DA PAM 738-751, as
applicable. USAF personnel use SF 364 IAW T.O. 00-35D-54, USAF (Deficiency Reporting and
Investigating System) and AFI 21-115 (Deficiencies Across Component Lines) Chapter 5.
3. Note damage on DA Form 2404, Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet, and initiate
corrective maintenance procedures in accordance with Section VI of this chapter. USAF personnel
use DD Form 2332 (Material Deficiency Exhibit).
1. Only a qualified parachute rigger shall accomplish the processing of unpacking airdrop equipment.
2. Check DA PAM 25-30 for Maintenance Work Orders (MWO) applicable to your equipment. If any
MWOs are listed, check DA Form 2408-5, Equipment Modification Record, to see if MWOs have
been applied to the equipment. The MWO number will be shown near the equipment nomenclature
label. If a current MWO is listed in DA PAM 25-30, but there is no evidence that it has been applied
to the equipment you are processing, note the discrepancy on DA Form 2404, Equipment Inspection
and Maintenance Worksheet.
3. Inspect the items as outlined in WPs 0005 00 and 0006 00, PMCS, and WP 0007 00, INSPECTION.
4. Clean and dry the LVADS Ancillary Equipment according to WP 0008 00. A compressed air hose
may be used to remove foreign material from inaccessible locations.
Parachute Log Record. The Army Parachute Log Record, DA Form 3912, is a history-type
maintenance document, which accompanies the item through the period of service of the individual
assembly. The log record provides a means of recording maintenance actions performed on the item.
Normally, a log record is initiated and attached to the item upon receipt by a using unit. However, if the
item is subjected to alteration or modification by a maintenance activity during the interim period from
date of manufacture to receipt by a using unit, the log record will be prepared by the activity performing
the maintenance function.
0003 00-2
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0003 00
Once initiated, a log record will be attached to and contained on the item until such time as the item is
destroyed or rendered unfit for further use or repair.
Additionally, should an item that requires a log record be transferred from one unit to another, the log
record for the item will accompany the item in the transfer action. A prepared log record will not be
removed or separated from the item, except as directed by the local airdrop equipment maintenance
activity officer. A log record which is illegible, lost, damaged, soiled, or precludes further entries due to
lack of space will be replaced upon the next repack or inspection, as applicable, with a serviceable item
from stock.
1. Cut a 30-inch length of tape, lacing and tying waxed nylon thread (Item 28, WP 0125 00) and double
the lacing length to form a 15-inch length, double strand.
2. Pass looped end of the double lacing length around the centerfold of the log record and form a slip
loop on the outside at the log record top.
3. Pass lacing length running ends through the corner attaching hole from the front cover of log record
book.
0003 00-3
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0003 00
4. Ensure running ends are routed over that part of the lacing length located along the log record
centerfold.
5. Complete the attachment tie by making a half hitch on top of the slip loop made in step 2., above.

The items are listed consecutively and the numbers indicate the sequence of minimum inspection
requirements. The types and intervals of inspection required for the platform are as follows:
Item Number. Item numbers (ITEM No.) shall be assigned to the PMCS procedures. The PMCS
procedures shall be arranged in a logical sequence requiring minimum time and motion on the part of the
person(s) performing them and shall be so arranged that there will be minimum interference between
persons performing the checks simultaneously on the same end item.
0004 00-1
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0004 00
Intervals. The designated interval (INTERVAL) (i.e., before, during, after, weekly, etc.) when each check
is to be performed shall be included. Procedures done first or most frequently (i.e., “before” checks and
services) shall appear prior to “during” and “after” checks and services. When more advantageous to the
user intervals shall be sub-grouped by crewmembers(s).
Item to be Checked or Serviced. The items listed (ITEM TO BE CHECKED OR SERVICED) shall be
identified in as few words as possible to clearly identify the item. Usually the common name (e.g. EFTC,
2-point link, clevis, etc.) will be enough.
Procedures. The procedure (PROCEDURE) by which each check is to be performed, as well as any
information required to accomplish each check or service, including lubrication, appropriate tolerances,
adjustment limits, and instrument gage readings shall be provided. Whenever replacement or repair is
recommended, the maintenance task shall be included or the applicable maintenance instruction work
package may be referenced.
SCOPE
The following work packages (WP 0007 00 through WP 0060 00) contain maintenance procedures that
are the responsibility of the specified technician, as authorized by the Maintenance Allocation Chart
(MAC), and the Source, Maintenance, and Recoverability (SMR) coded items that are identified in the
Repair Parts and Special Tools List (RPSTL).
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS/PROCEDURES
Each of the mentioned work packages above identifies a maintenance function specified in the MAC. All
maintenance procedures required to complete a maintenance function are identified under “This Task
Covers:” in the order in which the work is most logically accomplished.
LUBRICATION INTERVAL
Not applicable.
While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of other
materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these
materials may be a corrosion problem.
If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using Standard Form SF 368, Product Quality
Deficiency Report. Use of keywords such as "corrosion,” "rust," "deterioration," or "cracking" will ensure
that the information is identified as a CPC problem. The form should be submitted to the address
specified in DA PAM 738-750, Functional Users Manual for the Army Maintenance Management System
(TAMMS).
Equipment Not Ready/Available If. A brief statement of the condition (EQUIPMENT NOT
READY/AVAILABLE IF) (e.g., malfunction, shortage) that would cause the equipment to be less than fully
ready to perform its assigned mission shall be provided.
Recording Defects. All defects discovered during the inspection will be recorded using the applicable
specifics in DA Pamphlet 738-750.
0004 00-2
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0004 00
Should defect or damage be discovered at any point during the inspection, the inspection will be
terminated and the applicable item will be processed and forwarded to repair activity. The repair activity,
in turn, will conduct a technical/rigger-type inspection that will be performed by only those parachute
rigger personnel cited in AR 750-32.
NOTE
Drop testing of airdrop equipment consists of physically air dropping an item from an aircraft in flight. The
drop test proves the serviceability of an item or checks parachute rigger proficiency. It will be performed
under the supervision of qualified parachute rigger personnel who satisfy the supervisory requirements
outlined in AR 750-32. Drop-testing usually will be conducted by an activity responsible for the inspection
and maintenance of airdrop equipment. The criteria required to accomplish a drop test is as follows:
Weight and Conditions. The weight of the test load will be proportional with the standard design load of
the specific parachute being tested. The parachute will be released under conditions consistent with the
requirements for an equipment drop.
Monitoring. During the drop-test of the LVADS, the deployment of the parachute will be thoroughly
monitored and observed to detect any evidence of malfunction or defect. Enter a record of the drop-test
into the applicable parachute log record as follows:
Common Checks to the LVADS Ancillary Equipment. When you perform PMCS procedures, you will
always need a rag or two.
2. Remove dirt and grease with a soap solution composed of one-half cup of dishwashing detergent per
gallon of water. Rinse with clean water. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
3. Check equipment for rust and corrosion. If any bare metal or corrosion exists, clean, and apply a thin
coat of oil, unless otherwise stated. Report it to your supervisor.
4. Check all bolts, nuts and screws for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition. Look for
chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolts heads. If you find a bolt, nut or screw you think is
loose, tighten it or report it to your supervisor.
5. On welded items, look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If
you find a bad weld, report it to your supervisor.
0004 00-3
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0004 00
CAUTION
Cleaning. The cleaning of airdrop equipment will be held to a minimum and performed only when it is
necessary to eliminate a malfunction potential or the possibility of material deterioration. The cleaning
method must be compatible with the type of material to be cleaned and the nature of the substance to be
removed. Clean LVADS Ancillary Equipment using the following procedures:
Shaking and Brushing. Clean most LVADS Ancillary Equipment assemblies by shaking or gently
brushing with a dry soft-bristle brush. A dry stiff-bristle brush can be used on items made of canvas,
metal, or wood.
Spot-cleaning. Spot-clean soiled areas on a fabric airdrop item that cannot be cleaned by shaking or
brushing as follows:
CAUTION
Cotton Items
1. Spot-clean a cotton item by rubbing the soiled area with a clean cloth and a solution composed of
one-half cup of hand dishwashing detergent (liquid or powdered) dissolved in one gallon of warm
water.
2. Once the foreign substance has been removed, rinse the cleaned area by repeating the rubbing
process with clean portion of the cloth that has been dampened with fresh clean water.
2. A soiled area cleaned with the soap and water solution will be rinsed with fresh, clean water and
allowed to dry thoroughly.
3. Do not attempt to wring out the material that has been cleaned and rinsed.
0004 00-4
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0004 00
2. Imperfections on plastic items may be removed by buffing with crocus cloth. Similar defects on wood
items can be fixed with a suitable grade of sandpaper.
3. When applicable, ensure that any adjacent fabric is not damaged when buffing or sanding.
Metal Items
1. Remove any burrs, rough spots, rust, or corrosion on metal items that cannot be eliminated by
brushing or spot cleaning (Shaking and Brushing paragraph and Spot-cleaning paragraph detailed on
the previous page) by buffing and polishing with crocus cloth or steel wool. Ensure that any adjacent
materials are not harmed when filing, buffing, or polishing.
2. When the metal item has been properly smoothed, remove all oils and filings by brushing and dipping
in a soap and water solution.
3. When dried, spray the metal item with a dry film lubricant and allow to air dry for 24-hours and put the
item back into service.
4. Shield any adjacent fabric when spraying dry film lubricant to prevent saturation.
5. Small amounts of lubricant will not damage fabric, but may cause discoloration and make fabric
appear soiled.
Drying
1. Suspend or elevate wet or damp LVADS Ancillary Equipment in a well-ventilated room or in a heated
drying room.
2. Item drying time may be reduced through the use of electric circulating fans.
3. When heat is used, the temperature will not be higher than 160qF (71.5qC), with a preferred
temperature at 140qF (60.0qC) until the item is dry.
4. Fabric or wooden items will not be dried in direct sunlight by laying an item out on the ground, except
in an emergency.

TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0007 00
IN-STORAGE INSPECTION
An in-storage inspection is a physical check conducted on a random sample of airdrop equipment that is
located in storage. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that the equipment is ready for issue, that the
item is properly identified and segregated from other types of equipment, that no damage or deterioration of
equipment has been incurred, and that all modifications or similar action requirements have been completed.
The inspection shall also concern the methods and procedures applied to the storage of airdrop items, the
adequacy of storage facilities, efforts of pest and rodent control, and protection against unfavorable climatic
conditions. Airdrop equipment that is in storage will be inspected at least semiannually and at more frequent
intervals if prescribed by the local parachute maintenance officer. The frequency of inspection may vary
according to the type of storage facilities and local climatic conditions. Only parachute rigger personnel
designated by the local parachute maintenance officer will conduct in-storage inspections.
Malfunctioning Equipment. Dispose of any airdrop equipment that shows any evidence of malfunction or
defect during or after a drop-test. If it has been used, is unserviceable, but has not exceeded normal fair wear
or aging criteria, tag the equipment as prescribed in DA PAM 738-751. Report the equipment on an
Equipment Improvement Report (EIR) in accordance with DA PAM 738-751 and AR 750-1. Hold the
equipment as an EIR exhibit as outlined in DA PAM 738-750, pending receipt of disposition instructions from
the National Maintenance Point (NMP). Do not tamper with the applicable item or make any attempt to
discover the cause of the malfunction. Unnecessary handling of EIR equipment may hamper the judgment of
the engineering personnel responsible for the final evaluation of EIR actions.
EQUIPMENT DISPOSITION
Airdrop equipment may be rendered unserviceable by either normal fair wear or by aging and will
subsequently be repaired, modified, or condemned, as appropriate. Equipment that is uneconomically
reparable (outdated) will be condemned. Disposition of airdrop equipment that is condemned, unserviceable,
or for which the serviceability is questionable, will be accomplished using the following procedures, as
applicable.
1. Item requiring repair or modification. An airdrop item that requires repair or modification will be tagged in
accordance with DA PAM 738-751. Subsequent work on the item will be performed at the maintenance
level specified in the MAC, WP 0064 00.
2. Disposition of condemned air delivery equipment. Condemned equipment, other than fatality parachutes,
will be removed from service and disposed of in accordance with current directives listed in this WP.
3. Rejected equipment. Equipment which, prior to use, is deemed unserviceable for use will be reported in
an Equipment Improvement Recommendation (EIR) in accordance with DA PAM 738-751, as authorized
by AR 750-1. Each applicable item that is defective will be held and safeguarded pending receipt of
disposition instructions from the National Maintenance Point (NMP). In all instances, EIR exhibit material
will be handled as prescribed in DA PAM 738-750. If the quality or the serviceability of an item is
questionable, clarification and assistance may be obtained by contacting Commander, US Army Soldier
and Biological Chemical Command, ATTN: AMSSB-RIM-E (N), Kansas Street, Natick, MA 01760-5052.

4. Equipment of doubtful serviceability. Equipment which has had previous use and has not exceeded
normal fair wear or aging criteria, but of which further serviceability is doubtful, will be tagged as
prescribed in DA PAM 738-751. In addition, the equipment will be reported in an EIR in accordance with
DA Pam 738-750 and AR 750-1. The item (s) in question will be held as EIR exhibit material as outlined
in DA PAM 738-750 pending receipt of disposition instructions from the NMP. A maintenance activity
holding EIR exhibit material will not tamper with the applicable item(s) or make any attempt to ascertain
cause factors. Unnecessary handling or EIR exhibit material may disturb or alter peculiar aspects of the
affected item(s) which might affect the judgment of engineering personnel who have the responsibility for
final evaluation of EIR actions.
5. Equipment immersed in salt-water. Any airdrop item constructed from cotton material that has been
immersed in salt water will be condemned. Cotton thread used for tacking and sewing on nylon
parachute packs that have been immersed in salt water will only be replaced when there is visible
evidence of deterioration such as extreme discoloration or indications of broken thread. Any airdrop
equipment constructed of nylon or rayon material that has been immersed in salt water in excess of 24-
hours will be condemned. Additionally, any nylon or rayon airdrop item that has been immersed in salt
water for a period less than 24-hours, but which cannot be rinsed within 48-hours after recovery will also
be condemned. However, if the cited time limitations can be met, then immediately upon recovery,
suspend or elevate the recovered equipment in a shaded area and allow the item(s) to drain for at least 5-
minutes. Do not attempt to wring the equipment fabric or the suspension lines. Within 48-hours after

1. Stitching and restitching on items constructed from cloth, canvas, and webbing should be accomplished
with thread that matches the color of the original stitching, when possible. Backstitching at least ½-inch
should lock all straight stitching. Restitching should be locked by overstitching each end of the stitch
formation by ½-inch. Zig-zag stitching does not require locking; however, zig-zag restitching should
extend at least ¼-inch into undamaged stitching at each end, when possible. Restitching should be made
directly over the original stitching, following the original stitch pattern as closely as possible.
2. Darning. (Refer to Table 1.) Darning is a sewing procedure used to repair limited size holes, rips, and
tears in assorted airdrop items constructed from textile, cloth and reinforcement webbing of packs. A
darning repair may be made either by hand or sewing machine, depending upon the method preferred
and the availability of equipment. However, a darning machine should be used to darn small holes and
tears where fabric is missing. Darning of previously patched material can be performed provided darning
size limitations prescribed in the paragraph applicable to the item are not exceeded. A darning repair will
be performed using the following procedures, as appropriate:
(1) Using an authorized marking aid of contrasting color, mark a square around the damaged area
and ensure that the marking is at least ¼-inch back from each edge of the damaged area. The
marking will be made with the warp and the filling of the material.
(2) Darn the damaged area by sewing the material in a back-and-forth manner, using size A or E
nylon thread, allowing the stitching to run with the warp or filling of the fabric.
(3) Turn the material and stitch back and forth across the stitching made in (b) above until the hole
or tear is completely darned.

(4) If applicable, restencil informational data, gore number(s), or identification marks using the
criteria in WP 0011 00, MARKING, RESTENCILLING AND REPAINTING.
b. Hand darning. When repair of a hole or tear is made by hand darning, the darn should match the
original weave of the damaged material as closely as possible. Hand darning will be performed as
follows:
(1) Using an authorized marking aid of contrasting color, mark a square around the damaged area
and ensure that the marking is at least ¼-inch back from edge of the damaged area. The
marking will be made with the warp and the filling of the material.
(2) Using a darning needle and a length of size A or E nylon thread, begin darning at one corner of
the marked area. Working in the direction of the fabric warp or filling, pass the needle and
thread back and forth, through the material until the opposite diagonal corner of the marked
area is reached.
(3) Turn the material and weave the needle and thread back and forth across the stitching made in
(b), above, until the hole is completely darned.

3. Zig-Zag Sewing. (Refer to Table 1 and Table 2.) Airdrop items, except parachute canopies, made from
textile materials that have sustained cut or tear damage may be repaired by zig-zag sewing provided the
applicable damaged area does not have any material missing and the cut or tear is straight or L-shaped.
Should the damaged area be irregular shaped or have material missing, the repair will be achieved by
either darning or patching, as required. A zig-zag sewing repair will be accomplished with a zig-zag
sewing machine, using the following procedures:
b. Beginning at a point ¼-inch beyond one end of the cut or tear, stitch lengthwise along the damaged
area to a point ¼-inch beyond the opposite end of the cut or tear.
c. The cited stitching procedure will also apply to an L-shaped cut or tear.

toward the cable, attempting to lift the catch open.
b. If the catch can be moved 1/16 of an inch the internal cable positive lock is improperly set.
c. Recheck the actuator for the 2 ½-inch dimension as described above. If actuator is found suitable,
then cable assembly collar is set incorrectly and is defective, remove cable from service.
d. If the catch cannot be moved 1/16 of an inch under moderate thumb pressure, and catch returns to
seated position (dot and arrow aligned), then EFTC is properly locked.
e. Check that actuator arm swings freely through the platform rail indents with no interference from the
hex head bolts (replaced by round head bolts IAW FM 4.20-102) or other parts of platform. This
includes the upswing of arm to horizontal locked position by spring lever in actuator body.
f. Check for proper operation of the EFTC by removing the actuator body from the EFTA mounting
brackets after removing the actuator pins.
g. Carefully remove the actuator arm-locking pin and slowly rotate arm through its full range of motion.

9. Using a 10-inch adjustable wrench, retighten the locking nut on the upper retainer; do not over tighten the
nut.
NOTE
If the ½-inch diameter pins in the latch side plates, that secure the
retainer and catch are separate pins or are an integral fixed pin one-
piece construction, then staking is not necessary.
10. Determine if the pins are loose and can fall out through the side plates as follows:
a. Using a flat surface, a 3/8-inch diameter or less pin or bolt, tap gently with a hammer on each end of
the ½-inch diameter latch pins through the side plate holes.
b. If the pins are loose and can fall through the side plates, stake as follows:
CAUTION
Use of proper eye protection should be used for protection against any
metal chips that may be dislodged when staking pins. Flying debris may
cause injury to personnel.
(2) Place the tip of the center punch approximately 1/16-inch from the edge of the ½-inch diameter
hole in the side plate.
(3) Strike the punch with a hammer to cause a 3/32-inch dimple and a slight flow of metal towards
the inside edge of the hole which will then retain the latch pin as required.
(4) Repeat the stacking at four places, 90 degrees apart from each other.
0017 00-7
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0017 00
NOTE
At any time during the operation of the EFTC latch, units are authorized
to tighten the upper retaining nut flush with the latch assembly housing.
Secure the latch in a clamp or vise prior to tightening the nut. NO DO
TIGHTEN WHILE ASSEMBLED AND RIGGED INSIDE THE
AIRCRAFT.
11. Manually operate the latch in accordance with FM 4-20.102 (FM 10-500-2). Apply thumb pressure on the
catch to overcome the spring pressure and lift up the catch. The linkage can then be collapsed manually
by pushing down on top of the retainer hook end. The latch shall relock manually with the dot and arrow
aligned.
12. Check the latch and link assemblies for proper locking and seating IAW FM 4-20.102 (FM 10-500-2). If
the dot and arrow are not aligned within 1/16-inch, check to make sure that the lock link is fully seated into
the catch slot, so that the catch is completely bottomed over the lock link.
13. If the latch is properly seated, but the dot and arrow remain misaligned by more than 1/16-inch the visual
locking indicators have been improperly set by the manufacturer. The latch must now be identified for
continued use and further inspections.
14. A ½-inch capital letter (I) must be stenciled on each side plate using yellow enamel paint. This will show
that the unit is still usable for airdrop operations.
15. After the cable assembly installation during the EFTC pre-check and the pre-drop JAI, further positive
lock must be checked on the latch assemblies to assure proper locking. These procedures are as
follows:
a. Connect the cable to the latch and lock the actuator. If positive lock is felt more than 1/16-inch from
the position of alignment between the visual dot and arrow when thumb pressure is exerted on the
latch, check the actuator as follows:
(1) Disconnect the cable from the actuator end and rotate the arm of the actuator to the locking
position and insert locking pin to hold the arm.
(2) Check the locking position of the actuating link at the cable hole connecting point, measuring
the distance between the center of this hole to the outside end of the actuator housing from
which the cable extends.
(3) If the measured distance does not exceed two and one half inches, the cable was adjusted
incorrectly. Do not use the cable.
(4) If the measured distance exceeds two and one half inches, the actuator arm/shaft was
improperly fabricated to provide adequate cable locking stroke. Do not use the actuator.
b. If the dot and arrow are not aligned within 1/16-inch when the latch is locked, visually check through
the 1-inch slotted hole in the latch side plates that the catch is completely seated over the lock link.
c. Check to see that the arrow points to the surface of the lock link that is engaged with the catch.
d. Push up on the catch with sufficient force to overcome the catch spring resisting force.
e. A positive lock must be indicated by a solid resistance provided by the cable assembly connection
within 1/16-inch of catch movement.
0017 00-8
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0017 00
f. The procedures and inspections stated above will assure that the latch assemblies with misaligned
locking indicators are properly locked.
g. These procedures and inspections should be conducted before each airdrop use of the latch
assembly.

Darning Repair. Darning is a sewing procedure used to repair limited size holes, rips, and tears. A darning
repair may be made either by hand or by sewing machine, depending upon the method preferred and the
availability of equipment. However, a darning machine should be used to darn small holes and tears where
fabric is missing. A darning repair will be performed using the following procedures, as appropriate:
a. Using an authorized marking aid of contrasting color, mark a square around the damaged area and
ensure the marking is at least ¼-inch back from each edge of the damaged area.
b. Darn the damaged area by sewing the material in a back and forth manner, using size A or E nylon
thread.
c. Turn the material and stitch back and forth across the stitching made in b., above, until the hole or
tears are completely darned.

TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0052 00
2. Hand darning. When repair of a hole or tear is made by hand darning, the darn should match the original
weave of the damaged material as closely as possible. Hand darning will be performed as follows:
a. Using an authorized marking aid of contrasting color, mark a square around the damaged area and
ensure the marking is at least ¼-inch back from each edge of the damaged area.
b. Using a darning needle and a length of size A or E nylon thread, begin darning at one corner of the
marked area. Working parallel with the marking, pass the needle and thread back and forth through
the material until the opposite diagonal corner of the marked area is reached.
c. Turn the material and weave the needle and thread back and forth across the stitching made in b.,
above, until the hole is completely darned.
Grommet Repair.
a. Remove burns, rough spots, rust, or corrosion from an installed grommet by filing with a file or by
buffing with a crocus cloth.
b. Reseat a loose grommet using the procedures listed in step 2., following.
0052 00-3
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0052 00
c. If fabric area around original grommet has been damaged, repair area by darning using procedures
in darning procedural steps detailed above. If darning does not provide an adequate repair,
construct a 2 ¾- by 2 ¾-inch sized reinforcement cloth and fold under ½-inch on all sides. After
removing original grommet, sew cloth to inside with a medium-duty sewing machine, size E nylon
thread, 7 to 11 stitches per inch, one row of stitches 1/8-inch from inside edge and the second row 3/8-
inch from outside edge.

INTRODUCTION
This introduction provides a general explanation of all maintenance and repair functions authorized at the
two maintenance levels under the Two-Level Maintenance System concept.
This 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:
Field – includes three subcolumns, Crew (C), Service (O), and Field (F).
Sustainment – includes two subcolumns, Below Depot (H) and Depot (D).
The maintenance to be performed below depot and in the field is described as follows:
1. Service maintenance. The responsibility of a using organization to perform maintenance on its assigned
equipment. It normally consists of inspecting, servicing, lubricating, adjusting, and replacing parts,
minor assemblies, and subassemblies. The replace function for this level of maintenance is indicated
by the letter "O" in the third position of the SMR code. An "O" appearing in the fourth position of the
SMR code indicates complete repair is possible at the service maintenance level.
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 gauging and evaluation of cannon tubes.
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. The
following are examples of service functions:
a. Unpack. To remove from packing box for service or when required for the
performance of maintenance operations.
b. Repack. To return item to packing box after service and other maintenance
operations.
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.
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.
8. Paint (ammunition only). To prepare and spray color coats of paint so that the ammunition can be
identified and protected. The color indicating primary use is applied, preferably, to the entire exterior
surface as the background color of the item. Other markings are to be repainted as original so as to
retain proper ammunition identification.
9. 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.
NOTE
11. 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.
12. Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to
a like-new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree
of material maintenance applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning
to zero those age measurements (e.g., hours/miles) considered in classifying Army
equipment/components.
Column (1) Group Number. Column (1) lists Functional Group Code (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).
Column (4) Maintenance Level. Column (4) specifies each level of maintenance authorized to perform each
function listed in column (3), by indicating work time required (expressed as man hours in whole hours or
decimals) in the appropriate subcolumn. This work time figure represents the active time required to
perform that maintenance function at the indicated level of maintenance. If the number or complexity of the
tasks within the listed maintenance function varies at different maintenance levels, appropriate work time
figures are to be shown for each level. The work time figure represents the average time required to restore
an item (assembly, subassembly, component, module, end item, or system) to a serviceable condition
under typical field operating conditions. This time includes preparation time (including any necessary
disassembly/assembly time), troubleshooting/fault location time, and quality assurance time in addition to
the time required to perform the specific tasks identified for the maintenance functions authorized in the
MAC. The symbol designations for the various maintenance levels are as follows:
Sustainment:
L Specialized Repair Activity (SRA)
H Below Depot maintenance
D Depot maintenance
NOTE
The “L” maintenance level is not included in column (4) of the MAC.
Functions to this level of maintenance are identified by work time figure in
the “H” column of column (4), and an associated reference code is used in
the REMARKS column (6). This code is keyed to the remarks, and the
SRA complete repair application is explained there.
Column (5) Tools and Equipment Reference Code. Column (5) specifies, by code, those common tool sets
(not individual tools), common Test, Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), and special tools,

TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0065 00
Column 6, Description and Usable on Code (UOC). This column includes the following information:
1. The federal item name and, when repaired, a minimum description to identify the item.
2. P/Ns for bulk materials are referenced in this column in the line entry for the to be manufactured or
fabricated.
3. Hardness Critical Item (HCI). A support item that provides the equipment with special protection from
electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damage during a nuclear attack.
4. The statement END OF FIGURE appears just below the last item description in column (6) for a given
figure in both the repair parts list and special tools list work packages.
Column 7, QTY. The QTY (quantity per figure) column indicates the quantity of the item used in the
breakout shown on the illustration/figure, which is prepared for a functional group, sub-functional group, or
an assembly. A “V” appearing in the column instead of a quantity indicates that the quantity is variable and
quantity may change from application to application.
EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS
STOCK NUMBER Column. This column lists the NSN by National Item Identification Number (NIIN)
sequence. The NIIN consists of the last nine digits of the NSN, i.e.
NSN
5305-01-574-1467
NIIN
When using this column to locate an item, ignore the first 4 digits of the NSN. However, the
complete NSN should be used when ordering items by stock number.
FIG. column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located. The figures
are in numerical order in the repair parts list and special tools list work packages.
ITEM column. The item number identifies the item associated with the figure listed in the adjacent FIG.
column. This item is also identified by the NSN listed on the same line.
FIG. Column. This column lists the number of the figure where the item is identified/located in the repair
pats list and special tools list work packages.

TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0065 00
ITEM Column. The item number is the number assigned to the item as it appears in the figure referenced in
the adjacent figure number column.
SPECIAL INFORMATION
The Usable on Code title appears in the lower right corner of column (5), Description. Usable on codes are
shown in the right-hand margin of the description column. Identification of the usable on codes used in the
RPSTL are:
N/A N/A
Fabrication Instructions. Bulk materials required to manufacture items are listed in the bulk material
functional group of this RPSTL. Part numbers for bulk material are also referenced in the Description
Column of the line item entry for the item to be manufactured/fabricated. Detailed fabrication instructions
for items source coded to be manufactured or fabricated are found in this TM.
Index Numbers. Items that have the word BULK in the figure column will have an index number shown in
the item number column. This index number is a cross-reference between the NSN / P/N index work
packages and the bulk material list in the repair parts list work package.
Illustration List. The illustrations in this RPSTL contain unit authorized items. Illustrations published in this
TM that contain unit authorized items also appear in this RPSTL. The tabular list in the repair parts list work
package contains only those parts coded “O” in the third position of the SMR code, therefore, there may be
a break in the item number sequence.
First. Using the table of contents, determine the assembly group or sub-functional group to which the item
belongs. This is necessary since the figures are prepared for functional groups and sub-assembly groups,
and lists are divided into the same groups.
Second. Find the item covering the figure covering the functional group or sub-functional group to which
the item belongs.
Third. Identify the item on the figure and note the number(s).
Fourth. Look in the repair parts list work packages for the figure and item numbers. The NSNs and part
numbers are on the same line as the associated item numbers.
First. If you have the NSN, look in the STOCK NUMBER column of the NSN index work package. The
NSN is arranged in NIIN sequence. Note the figure and item number next to the NSN.
Second. Turn to the figure and locate the item number. Verify that it is the one you are looking for.
0065 00-7
TM 10-1670-296-20&P 0065 00
First. If you have the P/N and not the NSN, look in the PART NUMBER column of the P/N index work
package. Identify the figure and item number.
Second. Look up the item on the figure in the applicable repair parts list work package.
