TM 55-8115-203-23 & P (b) Side,   roof   and   end   panels.      Weatherproofness   and   denting   which   would   interfere   with   container handling are the critical concerns. 1.    Holes  or  tears  must  be  repaired.    Repairs  that  appear  questionable  should  be  tested  for weatherproofness using paragraph 2-5.a. 2.    Panels  must  not  be  dented  outwardly  so  that  any  part  of  the  panel  is  outside  of  the  cube formed by the outside corners of the corner fittings.  See figure 3-1. 3. The panel must not be dented more than one inch toward the inside of the container. (c) Corner posts and j-bars.  Check for cracks or dents more than 1/4 inch in depth. (d) Rails.  Check for cracks or dents more than 1/4 inch in depth. (2) Door and document holder. (a) Door.  Minor bends or dents are acceptable if the door remains fully operational.  Test bent or dented containers  for  waterproofness  using  paragraph  2.5.a.    The  door  should  open,  close  and  be  properly securable. (b) Door hardware.  Door hardware must be completely functional. (c) Document holder.  The document holder must be openable and closeable by one person without need for  a  pry  bar  or  other  tool.    The  document  holder  must  be  waterproof.    Breaks  or  tears  in  gasket material should be repaired. e. Readiness.  Perform necessary maintenance tasks and repairs as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Whenever possible, perform all maintenance on site. f. Return to Service. (1) Restore to normal operating condition. (2) Resume  the  maintenance  service  schedule  in  effect  at  the  commencement  of  storage  or  service  the equipment before the scheduled dates in order to produce a staggered maintenance workload. 1-4.  Extended Storage. a.    Place containers at least four inches off the ground on blocks to permit air circulation under the container. b.    Visually  inspect  containers  every  thirty  days  for  damage  or  deterioration  from  exposure  to  severe  weather conditions. 1-3
