SCOPE
1.
Type of Manual. This manual is for use in operating and performing operator troubleshooting and maintenance on the
machine.
2.
Equipment Name and Model Number. High Mobility Engineer Excavator, Type I (HMEE-I).
3.
Purpose of Equipment. The HMEE-I is used in worldwide earthmoving and construction projects by U.S. Army forces
in engineer troop support.
MAINTENANCE FORMS, RECORDS, AND REPORTS
Department of the Army forms and procedures used for the equipment maintenance will be those prescribed by DA PAM 750-
8, The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual.
REPORTING EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (EIR)
If your HMMEE-I needs improvement, let us know. Send us an EIR. You, the user, are the only one who can tell us what
you do not like about your equipment. Let us know why you do not like the design or performance.
All non-Aviation/Missile EIRs and PQDRs must be submitted through the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation
Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP) Web site. The PDREP site is: https://www.pdrep.csd.disa.mil/ .
If you do not have Internet access, you may submit your information using an SF 368 (Product Quality Deficiency
Report). You can send your SF 368 using email, regular mail, or fax using the address/fax numbers specified in DA PAM
750-8, The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual. We will send you a reply.
CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC) of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion
problems with this item be reported so that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the
problem in future items.
Corrosion specifically occurs with metals. It is an electrochemical process that causes the degradation of metals. It is
commonly caused by exposure to moisture, acids, bases, or salts. An example is the rusting of iron. Corrosion damage
in metals can be seen, depending on the metal, as tarnishing, pitting, fogging, surface residue, and/or cracking.
Plastics, composites, and rubbers can also degrade. Degradation is caused by thermal (heat), oxidation (oxygen),
solvation (solvents), or photolytic (light, typically UV) processes. The most common exposures are excessive heat or
light. Damage from these processes will appear as cracking, softening, swelling, and/or breaking.
SF 368, Product Quality Deficiency Report should be submitted to the address specified in DA PAM 750-8, The Army
Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual.
DESTRUCTION OF ARMY MATERIEL TO PREVENT ENEMY USE
For destruction of Army materiel to prevent enemy use, refer to TM 750-244-3.
PREPARATION FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT
Notify Field Maintenance to perform preparation for storage or shipment procedures.
