2-6. Site and Shelter Requirements. Select a site that provides or has the following features:
a. Ample space for maneuvering the vehicles that may be used to move and position a trailer-mounted generator
set and the AOAP Mobile Laboratory.
b. Site has a firm, well drained terrain, and is reasonably level.
c. Site is at least 500 feet away from other areas of operation and is not uphill or upstream from other facilities
which might be in the path of escaping fuel or vapor.
d. Site is not located adjacent to low areas where dangerous vapors might collect.
e. Site should be- near a stream, a pond, or an established water facility. This not only provides an outside water
source for the AOAP Mobile Laboratory water system, but it also aids in control of potential fires.
f. Site should have easy access to road nets, and at least one road should run in the vicinity of AOAP Mobile
Laboratory.
2-7. Assembly and Preparation For Use.
a. Inspection. Inspect the exterior of the laboratory to make sure everything is in good condition.
Check the semi-trailer body, doors, near axle assembly and front landing gears to see that they are secure, clean, and
correctly lubricated. Inspect the vents, water inlet, purge doors and the power input panel for damage. If damage is
found, notify your supervisor. Refer to TM 9-2330-362-14&P for authorized repair of basic semitrailer van.
b. Initial Setup (Refer to Figure 2-1).
NOTE
Access ladders are located in the roadside storage carriage labeled "Tool Kit/Ladders and
