 TM 55-1905-242-14
OPERATOR, UNIT, DIRECT SUPPORT, AND GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE
FOR LANDING CRAFT, MECHANIZED (LCM-8) (ALL VESSELS WITH MOD 2 APPLICATION)
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE UPON RECEIPT
SITING REQUIREMENTS
Location
The primary mission of the LCM-8 Mod 2 is personnel transfer, light salvage, and Command and Control (C2). It will be used
in coastal, harbor, and inland waterways, and is able to work in shallow inlets, rivers, and on unimproved beaches. The LCM-
8 Mod 2, therefore, may be located along any waterway sufficiently deep to support the vessel. Because the facilities on
board the LCM-8 Mod 2 are sufficient to support its crew of three for only short durations, consideration must be given to
berthing and messing facilities for the crew.
Proximity to Power Sources
The LCM-8 Mod 2 is completely self-sufficient with regard to electrical power. A diesel generator, two engine-driven
alternators, and a battery charger supply all of the electrical needs of the vessel. The vessel's electrical needs may also be
supplied by a shore power connection to a shore facility or to another vessel. The shore supply source must be 220 Vac
(Volts alternating current), single phase. The LCM-8 Mod 2 is outfitted with a shore power cable to make this connection.
SHELTER REQUIREMENTS
The LCM-8 Mod 2 requires no shelter. When not in use, the LCM-8 Mod 2 is moored alongside a pier, alongside another
vessel, or is anchored.
SERVICE UPON RECEIPT
General
The services performed upon receipt of a new or used vessel are the responsibility of the receiving organization and will be
performed by the crew and the issuing activity.
WARNING
Volatile materials must not be brought aboard, electrical circuits must not be energized,
fuel tanks must not be topped off, and engines must not be started before firefighting
equipment is available and operative. Failure to comply can result in damaged equip-
ment and serious injury or death to personnel.
Inspecting and Servicing the LCM-8 Mod 2
The crew and issuing activity will conduct a 100 percent inventory of the vessel and required components per WP 0228 00.
Any shortages will be listed and reported to the proper authority for corrective action. The crew will perform all of the
operator PMCS as listed in WP 0053 00 up to, and including, those done annually. The unit will perform all of the unit PMCS
as listed in WP 0054 00 up to, and including, those done annually. All defects and shortages will be recorded on DA Form
2404 as per DA PAM 738-750.
