Materials/Took
Clean rags
Cloth
Burlap
Fine mesh screen wire
Other Options:
Operate for short time periods
of time without air filtration system.
Procedural Steps:
1. Gain access to air inlet by opening top deck grille doors.
2. Remove air inlet hoses, (right and left), if both air cleaners are damaged.
The denser the material, the more it restricts
air intake, thus reducing engine power output.
3. Place cloth or screen wire over air inlet as shown. Secure material with air intake
hose clamps or wire to prevent engine from sucking material into engine.
4. Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is completed, as soon as
practicable, repair tank using standard maintenance procedures.
