SECTION II. SERVICE UPON RECEIPT
4-2. PRELIMINARY SERVICING OF EQUIPMENT.
a. General. When a landing craft is received, inspect all items for damage that may have occurred during
shipping or setting-up operations. Particular attention should be directed toward loose or missing nuts, bolts,
screws, drain plugs, drain cocks, oil plugs, assemblies, subassemblies, or components that may be easily lost
or broken in transit. All other onboard equipment listed in basic issue items list, or packing lists, on new or used
equipment should be similarly inspected and all discrepancies carefully noted.
b. Batteries. Batteries may be shipped separately, or installed for convenience with the electrolyte shipped
separately.
(1) If batteries are not installed, uncrate and install.
(2) If batteries are installed, remove filler caps and carefully fill each cell with electrolyte until level is 3/8
inch (9.53 mm) above plates. Replace filler caps.
(3) Charge battery if required.
Handle electrolyte with care. It is capable of inflicting severe burns. Solution
contacting the body must be washed off with fresh water immediately. Do not
smoke or use open flame while servicing batteries. Batteries generate a
hydrogen gas which is highly explosive.
(4) For testing of batteries, refer to PMCS Table 2-14, item 15.
c. Inspection.
All areas will be carefully inspected for proper component attachment, or damaged
components.
d. Servicing and Equipment. When a landing craft is received, perform all preventive maintenance -checks
and services. Before filling fuel tanks, cooling system, hydraulic reservoir, engine crankcase, transmission oil
reservoir, or oil reservoir of any component, ensure that associated drain cocks are closed, and all barrier
material has been removed.
(1) Filters. Hydraulic filters are susceptible to easy contamination on new equipment. Check frequently
and change elements after first 50 hours of operation.
