Health hazards, such as electrostatic discharge, radio frequency, radiation, radioactive materials, the presence of poisonous fumes or explosive gases, and the depletion of oxygen from the air in a closed environment, etc.), shall be preceded by a warning or caution at the point in the procedure where the hazard is likely to be encountered.

OTA.7.1.4 Introduction. The manual shall contain an introduction or introductory material, containing the purpose and function, capabilities, performance characteristics, description (equipment model, dimensions, weight, volume), power and utility information, environmental information, list of items furnished, list of additional items required for operation and maintenance (not supplied with equipment), tools and test equipment, warranty information, shipping and handling precautions, and storage data.

OTA.7.1.5 Preparation for use and installation instructions. The manual shall contain unpacking and preparation for use instructions. Inspection for in-shipment damage and instructions on how to handle damaged equipment shall be included. All equipment shall come with instructions for securing and stabilizing while being transported.

OTA.7.1.6 Principles of operation. The manual shall contain principles of operation information at an eighth grade technical level.

OTA.7.1.7 Operating instructions. Operating instructions, to include illustrations and explanations of the uses and functions of all controls and indicators, initial adjustments and control settings, startup procedures, normal operation, operation under emergency or abnormal conditions, initial speed settings for moving targets and adjustment procedures if applicable, initial hit sensor sensitivity for each type of target and adjustment and troubleshooting procedures, shutdown procedures, emergency shutdowns, and the operational procedures shall be sequential and contain complete information for the successful operation and maintenance of the unit.

OTA.7.1.8 Maintenance and servicing instructions (preventive and corrective). Maintenance and servicing instructions shall be sequential and contain complete information for the successful maintenance and servicing of the equipment. For every probable failure identified in the troubleshooting section, there shall be a maintenance procedure supporting the removal, replacement, repair, etc. for that item. Instructions shall include a list of test equipment, special tools, and materials needed for maintenance and service. This list shall include nomenclature, part/model number, and application. Instructions and/or illustrations shall explain or show how test connections are made. Actions and normal indications shall be defined for each test.

OTA.7.1.8.1 Cleaning and lubrication. Periodic cleaning and lubrication information, covering types of cleaning agents or lubricants shall be included. Frequency of lubrications and intervals (daily, weekly, hrs of operation) shall be presented. Lubrication points and required amounts shall be identified. When applicable, pictorial format for lubrication instructions shall be included to clearly illustrate location of each lubrication point. Cleaning and lubrication during repair, replacement, or reassemble shall be included in the instructions covering those actions.

OTA.7.1.8.2 Inspection. Instructions, including scheduling, for inspection of equipment for damage and wear shall be provided with emphasis on allowable service limits such as wear, backlash, end play, balance, and length and depth of scoring.

OTA.7.1.8.3 Troubleshooting. Malfunctions that might occur during operation of the equipment shall be identified. Troubleshooting data, and fault isolation techniques shall be in a logical step-by-step sequence and include the indication or symptom of trouble, the instructions necessary to determine the cause (to include test hookups), and action or reference to action to restore the equipment to operating conditions. Applicable information shall be in chart form, logic tree form, tabular format with appropriate headings, or logic block or schematic diagrams. The established maintenance theory for the associated equipment shall dictate the depth of the troubleshooting such as, localizing a defective circuit card assembly (CCA) and ending the action by removing and replacing the CCA as contrasted with carrying out the troubleshooting process on the defective CCA to determine the specific piece part that is defective.

OTA.7.1.8.4 Disassembly, repair, replacement, realignment, and reassemble. Sequential instructions for disassembly, repairing, replacing, realignment, torque, and reassembling the equipment shall be provided. The steps will be logically numbered and follow the method of maintenance defined for the equipment. References between task procedures shall be minimized. Test adjustment and checkout data after reassemble shall be provided. Illustrations, including exploded views, shall be used as necessary to support each of these functions.

OTA.7.1.9 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive marking. For all paragraphs addressing handling or maintenance, a standard ESD marking shall identify actions which could damage ESD sensitive parts. Handling or maintenance actions which could damage ESD sensitive parts, but which are not directly related to handling or maintenance of ESD sensitive parts, shall not be annotated with the acronym ESD, but shall be preceded by a caution.

OTA.7.1.10 Reprogramming. A description of reprogrammable memory, reprogramming theory, program setup, program confidence check-out, program loading and programming procedures shall be provided for equipment having a reprogrammable memory. These instructions shall be sequential and contain complete information for the successful programming/reprogramming of the item.

OTA.7.1.11 Parts list. The manual shall include a parts list containing positive identification of parts for support of the equipment and shall include actual manufacturer or contractor part numbers, nomenclature, and generic description to obtain replacement parts. When applicable the parts list shall indicate alternate contractors other than the manufacturer for parts that are commercially common to include: an alternate manufacturer, the manufacturer’s part number and nomenclature, and adequate information to allow personnel to order the part directly from the manufacturer or a contractor.

OTA.7.1.11.1 Parts list illustrations. Clear and legible illustrations shall identify component parts and parts relationships.

OTA.7.1.11.2 Parts listings. Part numbers, part names, and part quantities shall be shown on illustrations or separately listed. When the illustrations do not contain part numbers and part names, both the illustrations and separate listings shall show an index, reference, or key numbers which will cross-reference illustrated parts to listed parts. The parts list shall cite the actual manufacturer/contractor along with their part number and nomenclature. Parts in the listing shall be grouped by assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the parts identified to the assembly from which they are components. Common commercial hardware and items that are not of special design such as bolts, washers, nuts, screws, fittings, keys, etc. and which are obtainable from a wide range of sources shall be identified by the commercial part number or the notation “Commercial” instead of a part number. The part name (nomenclature or description) shall be complete enough to facilitate substitution of equivalent part from other sources.

OTA.7.1.12 Operational and maintenance illustrations and diagrams. Manuals shall contain illustrations (line drawings, photographs, or halftones) for locating and identifying all components significant to operation and maintenance and to show configuration and parts relationship for removal and disassembly procedures.
