1-4 REPAIR PARTS AND SPECIAL TOOLS LIST (RPSTL) The RPSTL is included in this manual as Appendix C. 1-5. REPORTING EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (EIR) If your MK-2551A/U needs improvement, let us know.  Send us an EIR.  You, the user, are the only one who can tell us what you don’t like about your equipment.  Let us know why you don’t like the design or performance.  Put it on an SF 368 Product  Quality  Deficiency  Report).    Mail  it  to:  Commander,  US  Army  Communications-Electronics  Command  and  Fort Monmouth, ATTN: AMSEL-LC-ED-CFO, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey 07703-5007.  We’ll send you a reply. 1-6. DESTRUCTION OF ARMY ELECTRONICS MATERIEL Destruction of Army electronics materiel to prevent enemy use shall be in accordance with TM 750-244-2. 1-7. ADMINISTRATIVE STORAGE Administrative storage of equipment issued to and used by Army activities will have Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services  (PMCS)  performed  before  storing.    When  removing  the  equipment  from  administrative  storage,  the  PMCS checks should be performed to assure operational readiness. 1-8. SAFETY, CARE, AND HANDLING Voltage step potentials created by lightning strikes may make the soil near the MK-2551A/U more hazardous than the soil surrounding a single ground rod, since the MK-2551A/U does not penetrate deeply into the earth.  This phenomena would be  of  very  short  duration,  similar  to  the  strike  itself.    Regardless  of  which  grounding  system  is  used,  the  soil  in  the immediate  vicinity  of  the  ground  will  be  potentially  dangerous  during  a  lightning  discharge.    For  this  reason,  personnel should make every effort to seek shelter within metal enclosures, vehicles, or other relatively safe locations when electrical storms are imminent.  This same precaution applies even if a grounding system is not installed, since personnel may also become a possible target for a direct strike 1-2
