MAINTENANCE OF THE M12A1 PDDA
The M12A1 PDDA is perhaps the single most important piece of equipment
available for decontamination. In addition, the M12A1 PDDA can be used for
fire-fighting deicing, and cleaning vehicles.
But as with any piece of
equipment the M12A1 PDDA is subject to breakdown. Downtime of this critical
equipment can severely affect missions conducted in NBC environments. The
proper use of maintenance procedures will limit breakdowns to an acceptable
minimum. Also scheduling checks and services at recommended intervals will
help insure equipment readiness.
In this subcourse, you will learn to identify components of and services
required to place the M12A1 PDDA into operation.
You will also learn a
description of and how to perform operation and organizational maintenance.
In Lesson 1, you will learn a component description of the M12A1 PDDA. You
