e. install the plugged tube into the vehicle.

f. Check that the hydraulic reservoir level is at least at the minimum operating level. if this level

is low, refer to para 8-13 and fill the reservoir as needed.

g. Operate all hydraulic subsystems (except those that may still be damaged) to remove air from

the system. Check carefully for fluid leaks. Tighten leaking fittings.

h. Check the hydraulic reservoir again to ensure a sufficient hydraulic fluid leve. if this level is low,

refer to para 8-13 and fill the reservoir as needed.

I. Record the BDAR action taken. When the mission is completed, as soon as practicable,

repair using standard maintenance procedures.
