4. FIELD MAINTENANCE OF THE SHELTER
Before initiating any repairs, identify the nature of the problem. Most repairs to the shelter can be made with the standard
Field Repair Kit included with the shelter. Each kit contains the following components:
Table 4-1. Contents of Field Repair Kit
25 ft. Lay-flat Plumbing Hose
5-O’rings for Quick Connects
4.1 Shelter Repairs
4.1.1 Repair of Shelter Struts
Fractured struts are repaired as follows:
1. After identifying the fractured strut or struts, assess whether the cover needs to be removed to reach the fracture. If it
is necessary to remove the cover, use the spanner wrench and remove only those keepers necessary to peel back
the cover to reach the fractured strut or struts.
2. Locate the mini hack saw.
3. Using the mini hack saw, trim off one half inch from each damaged side.
4. Retrieve a repair sleeve.
5. Slide a repair sleeve over the broken strut. Keep the break centered in the repair sleeve.
6. Tape ONLY one end of the repair sleeve with the duct tape. This will allow the other broken end to telescope within
the sleeve and maintain its critical length see Figure 4-1.
7. Insert the keeper and turn by hand until snug.
8. Use the spanner wrench to tighten one-quarter turn past hand tight. Do not tighten excessively.
9. All sewn seams should be aligned and fabric reinforced circles around keepers should not be twisted.
