3-7. GENERAL DETAILED PROCEDURE APPLICATIONS
a.
Resources required are not listed unless they apply to the procedure.
b.
Personnel required are listed only if the task requires more than one. If PERSONNEL are not listed it means
that one person can do the task.
c.
The normal standard equipment condition to start a maintenance task is power (MASTER SWITCH) OFF.
EQUIPMENT CONDITION is not listed unless some other condition is required besides the (MASTER
SWITCH) being OFF.
NOTE
Remember the bridge erection boat has two water cooling systems (refer to FO-3).

operation MUST BE performed with the boat in water or by following Out of Water Engine Operation
