NSTM S9086-ZN-STM-010/CH-772R2, NAVAL SHIPS' TECHNICAL MANUAL, CHAPTER 772, CARGO AND WEAPONS ELEVATORS (18 DEC 1998)., This chapter provides information to personnel of the United States Navy charged with the safe and reliable operation, maintenance and testing of installed cargo and weapons elevator equipment. Related elevator equipment and systems manuals, Ship’s Information Books (SIBs), Elevator Military Specifications (MIL-SPECs), General Specifications for Ships of the United States Navy (GENSPECs), OPNAV Instructions, Ordnance Publications (OPs), Technical Manuals (TMs), appropriate Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRCs), together with this NSTM, will mesh system components with their appropriate test instrumentation, gauges, controls, tools, spare and repair parts, equipage information, and drawings. This NSTM is not intended to be a compendium of total elevator system design and engineering information, nor an all encompassing document covering all configurations of shipboard installed equipment. It provides guidance and information that personnel must have to obtain optimum elevator performance throughout its life cycle. This chapter will generally identify the various cargo and weapons elevators (henceforth referred to as elevators) and subsystems under the cognizance of Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). In addition, it will generally define elevator system function, operating requirements, weight testing, safety, and training requirements. Data covered is applicable to a class of elevators, or common to a majority of installations.
