anything wrong in a hurry. If the equipment does not perform as required, refer to the appropriate
troubleshooting procedure in Chapter 3.

If anything looks wrong and you cannot fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404 or DA Form 5988-E. If you find something
seriously wrong, IMMEDIATELY report it to your supervisor.
