BDAR FIXES SHALL BE USED ONLY IN COMBAT OR FOR

TRAINING AT THE DISCRETION OF THE COMMANDER.

(AUTHORIZED TRAINING FIXES ARE LISTED IN APPENDIX E.)

IN EITHER CASE', DAMAGES SHALL BE REPAIRED BY

STANDARD MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.

Section I. INTRODUCTION

8 - 1 . S c o p e . BDAR for a hydraulic system is generally confined to component replacement,

expedient line repairs, or bypassing damaged lines. If a hydraulic circuit cannot be repaired, it may

be necessary to isolate it (cut it off) from the system to permit operation of some other hydraulic

functions. Damage to the hydraulic system almost always requires replenishment of lost fluids.

Bring hydraulic system to zero pressure before making repairs.

If this pressure is not relieved before working on the

equipment, serious injury or death may occur.

8-2. Assessment Procedures:

No specific assessment procedure is needed to locate leaks and ruptured lines. System specific TMs

must be checked before any isolation is performed.

NOTE:

Procedures boxed in this index can be used for training purposes.
