High-Pressure Hose Isolation - Using Bolt and Clamp.

TM 5-3835-222-BD

c. Tighten the plug or cap with an adjustable wrench.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. Check the hydraulic reservoir again to ensure a sufficient hydraulic fluid level. If this level is low,

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

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

using standard maintenance procedures.
