OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS

OPERATION IN UNUSUAL ENVIRONMENT OR WEATHER CONDITIONS

GENERAL

Refer to Operation Under Usual Conditions (WP 0005), for specific operating instructions, and use this

work package for further instruction if operating the Cargo Bed Cover in unusual conditions. Read all

sections which apply to the conditions to which the CBC will be exposed.

CAUTION

If excessive sand, dust, wind, or water enters the CBC during unusual

conditions, refer to WP 0013 to reapply RTV sealant.

OPERATION IN DUSTY OR SANDY CONDITIONS

When using the CBC in sandy or dusty conditions it may be necessary to clean the exterior and interior of

the CBC more frequently to prevent sand or dust from getting into the CBC lifting mechanism as well as to

protect the payload from debris.

It may be necessary to clean the air filter assembly more often. Check the condition of the air filter more

frequently and clean as necessary. Replace the air filter if it is not possible to clean it sufficiently to ensure

proper air flow.

OPERATION IN SNOWY OR SNOW-COVERED CONDITIONS

CAUTION

Any excess snow or ice should be cleared from the roof, side walls, and

personnel door hinges of the Cargo Bed Cover before the CBC is

extended or retracted. Excess snow or ice will increase the weight of the

upper section of the CBC and place excessive strain on the

lifting/lowering components.

No attempt should be made to raise or lower the CBC until all excess

snow and ice have been removed.
