NAVFAC P-300 Management of Transportation Equipment

NOTE: Manufacturers identify vehicle component parts with unit/division codes.
Forward copies of line set tickets, bill of materials, calibration codes,
service parts identification labels, certification labels, or any parts
identification information associated with a piece of equipment, with the
NAVSUP Form 1220-2.
5.5 Technical Manuals
5.5.1 Provision of Technical Manuals. An effective equipment management
program needs technical data and guides for each item of equipment. Within the NCF,
operator manuals, lubrication charts, parts manuals, and shop repair manuals are
included in each unit's parts peculiar COSAL under NCBC Port Hueneme local stock
number "0NL-7610-LL-Lxx-xxxx." The quantity of technical manuals (TM) is determined
by the same methods used for repair parts. This provides one copy for each piece of
equipment of the same make and model assigned to the unit; two copies for two pieces
of the same make and model; three copies for three to eight pieces of the same make
and model; and four copies for nine to twenty pieces of the same make and model
equipment.
5.5.2 CESO Responsibilities. The Civil Engineer Support Office directs and
administers the technical manual support program for NCF Units and requires
equipment manufacturers to furnish the appropriate TMs with every purchase. These
TMs can be military (U.S. Army, USMC, USAF), Commercial (standard manufacturers),
or modified Commercial (standard manufacturers TMs modified to meet specific
requirements).
5.5.3 Construction Battalion Center Responsibilities. Based on COSAL
computations, NCBC Port Hueneme provides TMs to NCF units with the repair parts
packup.
5.5.4 Manual Maintenance. All NCF units shall maintain all TMs listed in their
COSAL. Inventory control of TMs must be maintained through periodic inventories and
check-out procedures because replacement manuals for older equipment are usually
hard to obtain. Manuals in excess of COSAL quantities must be returned to NCBC Port
Hueneme marked for "M3 Stock." If the COSAL lists incorrect TMs or does not list all
the required TMs, submit a NAVSUP Form 1220-2 to CESO in accordance with
paragraph 5.4.3. Technical Manuals that are lost, damaged, worn out, or otherwise
unserviceable shall be replaced by submission of funded requisitions to NCBC Port
Hueneme. The requisitions shall include the TM stock numbers from the COSAL. If
not available all TM identification and equipment identification that includes USN
number, make, model, year of manufacture, serial numbers, and original procurement
contract number, will be provided.
