:, :1. L 7ink*7. SFoR When it comes to maintenance, training gets mighty important. If you've got anything to do with using or maintaining Army equip- ment (and who doesn't?), you've had maintenance training from the start. Like, when you were issued your first equipment rifle, pack, cartridge belt and shelter half. The sergeant gave you the low-down on how to keep them in top shape. With the Army's equipment get- ting more complicated, maintenance gets more important for fighting out- fits to keep combat-ready. If you want to get on top of your equipment maintenance and maybe make a career of maintenance (lots of guys do), the book you want to give the eagle-eye is DA Pamphlet 20-21, "The Army School Catalog," dated August 1962, with dozens of changes. iu VA 1 Is 0 110 S-- .__ - It lists Army school courses . many of them in maintenance. Wheeled and tracked vehicles, radios, radar, missiles, artillery, engineer equipment, aircraft. .you name it. And what's more, there are courses for officers as well as enlisted men. There's a special preventive main- tenance course at Fort Knox for field grade officers within CONUS. Some overseas commands, like USAEUR, have their own PM courses. Also, many divisions and posts have set up PM courses based on DA Pamphlet 750-2, "Post Level Preventive Main- tenance Course." Now, the thing for you to do is talk it over with your sergeant, training officer or CO. Then your request (DA Form 1049) will go in to at- tend the maintenance course that'll help you on the road to a mainte- nance career.

BACK-UP SAFETY CLAMP TN PIi Dear Editor, You just can't be too safe around a missile site-but you tan get gigged easy for not being safe enough. Here's how we clinched the safety deal when carrying M409 warhead sec- tion containers with our 10,000-lb rough terrain truck. In addition to using two load binders (FSN 3990-250-6356,1 to hold the M409 to the mast, we use two "C Battery clamps"-a gadget dreamed up by a couple brains in the outfit. Now everybody's happy-the inspectors and the M409, which rides easier.

I"/ SYSTl -I So-you've got problems in your Nike-Herc system right after installing a chassis that's just been calibrated or comparison checked! That's not good, but don't get grabby or too hasty with your accusations. Give the newcomer a chance to prove itself. Start your trouble shooting else- where in the string. For example, tackle the chassis ahead and behind the one you've just put in. If they check out OK, then you can point an accusing finger at the newly-tested chassis. Checking out the newly installed chassis first, can easily add to your DON'T KNOW YET.. COULD EE TWE CHASSiS THAT WE JUST HAD CALl BRATEP. problems (and increase support's work- load). 'Cause if the chassis is OK to begin with, you can easily throw it out of adjustment as you try to run down a problem .. which isn't there. Then you have no choice. You'll have to send k A the mistreated chassis back to support. So make a note: When swapping chassis, as always, you can't beat good trouble shooting procedures. Your payoff will be fast and efficient maintenance ... and, you'll ease your load, and everyone else's. Sure you know! On your Improved Nike-Hercules Acq receiver-transmitter, 8515397, you simply tie a jumper lead between TB 5-5 and TB 5-7, when you pull the frequency-and-power meter, 8173152, for calibration. And, then you make sure you remove the jumper wire be- fore you replace the meter. But, do you know this simple tie-up is strictly taboo when you remove this meter from the receiver-transmitter, pPiN L AND I 0 A2E WI'ED \ , to use a plug to keep things orderly while the meter's out for calibration. Support'll get the plug (Connector, electrical, FSN 5935-614-0534) for you. But you have to ask for it on a DA Form 2407 (Maintenance Request), 'cause before you use it support has to wire the plug's L and D pins together. Once the plug is wired, like so, all you have to do is plug it in when you remove the frequency-and-power meter for its 90-day C check. PINS L AND D WIRED TOGETHER 9156628? It'll damage the system.

DON'T BE A SWITCH TRIPPIN' ME UPU One ground-handling wheel on your Sioux (OH-13) is like another-but there's a mighty important difference in the axle. A left axle will work on a right skid and vice-versa, but there's a little detail that could prove to be a real trouble maker-the axle handle. When you use a right axle on a right skid, the handle faces rearward-as it should. But when you use a right axle on a left skid, the handle faces forward. So what's the difference? Well, suppose your chopper is about to be set down out in the boondocks. That forward-facing handle could snag on brush and upset the applecart! So, play it by the book. If your bird is sporting two left or two right axles, make a beeline for the parts pub. That's right-you requisition a right axle (FSN 1630-787-2527) for a right skid and a left axle (FSN 1630-787-2528) for the left skid. POWDERS TO EYE BY Dear Windy, -- We've been running all over the place trying to buy replacement powders for our magnetic particle Inspection machine. So far we haven't had any luck. Is there a TM in the works that will replace the manufacturer's pub and give us the scoop? SP 5 A. E. W. Dear Specialist A. E. W., The powders you're looking for are listed on Page 147 of Federal Supply Catalog C6800-IL (1 Jul 64). FSN 6850-255-0451 will get you a 25-lb drum of black powder. FSN 6850-255-0452 will get you the same amount of gray powder and FSN 6850-255-0453 will get you the red powder. The deal on a TM for this "off the shelf" item is a familiar one. In brief, only a manufacturer's pub is needed to tell you how to operate and main- tain the machine. ------- NOT 90 THE LITTER 9OCK INM TUE 4 NNDOCI COCC PIT-r UPPER 4PPIN' IN CENTER BULKUEAP iWNP OF YOUR BEAVER IVV-9 A (TU -i) y A bull in a china shop and a mech pulling maintenance in the cockpit of a Mohawk (OV-1) could have something in common. The actions of a "heavy" can really foul up the works. Take the charged ejection seat. Planting yourself smack on the safety pin streamer can put enough force on the connecting cable to bend the ejection gun sear. And if that sear can't be pulled out the seat isn't going to fire. So-o-o when you're in the cockpit, easy does it. No sitting, pulling, yanking or stomping on the streamer-p-u-1-l-e-a-s-e! S There're places where you have to make like Houdini on your Huey (UH-1)-that's for sure. Take the tail boom attaching bolts. Getting a wrench in there to check the four bolts for tightness has been a problem ... but it needn't be any longer. So, throw away your magic wand and make this jim-dandy tool from scrap for the bolt nuts. Before you make with a torque wrench on the end of the tool, tho, be sure to check the maintenance pub on use of the torque wrench with an extension attached. For example, if you use the 5-in tool at right angles to the torque wrench, you torque the nuts (not the bolts) like so: I UH-IA All Nus 200-220 inch-pounds UH-IB Upper Right Nut 520-580 inch-pounds (Facing oft) SUH-1B Other Nuts 200-220 inch-pounds SUH-1D Two Upper Nuts 730-790 inch-pounds UH-10 Two Lower Nuts 240-270 inch-pounds But if )-iu use the tool straight out as an ectension to the torque wrench you have to "figure" the smaller muscle power needed on the handle to get the torque, sure 'nuff. COMPASS SHOT? MAYBE NOT T000 C 0 0 You ARE UNoER 0 x l,.T#E POWER OF MN O0 0 MAGNETIC FIELP @ o _IC FIELP- I I I I Lal When your favorite throttle jockey heads his Kaven (OH-25) cross country, one of the basic instruments he's betting his hide on is the magnetic compass ... and rightly so. A faulty compass, therefore, could strand him "somewhere in the boon- docks." And that's just about what'll happen if the RT-294 of your AN/ARC- 44 FM radio set has a Western main tuning gear drive motor. The magnets in this motor are extra strong. Fact is, they're so strong that the magnetic field build-up will throw the near-by compass off ten degrees or more. IF 01FITS A WESTERN MOTOR COMPASS NEEDS RECALIBRATION RT-294 OR SET SWITCH IS IN ORDER So, if the compass has been actin' up in your bird, buzz your avionics sup- port. A look inside the set will quickly show if it has a Western motor. If it has, either the compass needs recalibration, or a set switch is in order. Some avionics shops are even stenciling the RT-294's with a Western like so-NOT FOR USE IN OH-23. 'Tis a good way to head 'em off at the pass. 19 CLAMPING DOWN 1Y AI ON -r ON THE ANGRY-19 "Roul oIT SW" CLAMP9 ON AWNTrNA radio set can be a gripping experience.S lLEAD GuAIZP!A ANMP COMMUNICATIONS -J :.O S N YOUR T-19N oT Putting the clamp to the guard of the antenna lead on %our AN/GRC-19 ClU radio set can be a gripping experience. Or it can break you all up. Rather. if .ou like, you can break your clamp all up. The guard just has to be snugged to give the antenna lead the protection it needs. It kinda' gives it a good grip on things. If you put the pressure to the clamp screws. the clamp's just as likely to/ break off next to the guard as not. If it doesn't break, chances are it will the next time or two you overtighien the screws. l So-o-o, snug is enuf.

If you back 'em off too much, their screws won't catch when you try to re- lock the controls .. among other things. In the other direction, be sure you lock both controls when you're about to use your preset channels. First, lock the two controls. TTIEN, turn your PRESET switch to the chan- nel you want. Fact is, you can save your set a trip to general support by not turning the set on until you've locked the controls and selected your preset channel. How'sat grip you? TIMELY TIPS ON THE PRC-47 I y COT A MINUTES One dictionan definition of "cap. tice" describes it as "checked from That describes right well the captive screws on the control panel cover of the RT-6"I, AN/PRC-47 radio set. A few turns of the screws release them from the case of the radio set. The screws then sta\ in and with the re- leased cover. Which means they're supposed to stay there, captive-like. Some energetic types have been known to rake the screws all the way out of the cover. It mam be good exer- cise, but it leads to lost screws. Lost screws might not be so bad- when iou can replace them. Those coser screws fyou guessed it?) are slightly odd-ball. Like. )ou can't requi- sition new ones. You've gotta ask your support to come up with replacements . -somehow, somewhere, some wa). Their won't vote iou a popularity rib- bon for that. TM I 1-5820-509.12P 130 Sep 631 gets you up-ro-dare on parts. - So you've been wading around with your AN/PRC-6 portable radio set during fording operations and maybe the set got wet. Never take chances. Better open 'er up the first chance you get and take a peek. If she's damp, wipe the moisture seal with a dry, lint-free cloth. And use that rag like a powder puff on the chassis by gently patting. After drying the innards you'd bet- ter drag the rag over the outside, too- including the antenna. If no cloth's handy, leave the set open and let air dry it whenever possible. Before crossing that stream, swamp, lake or boondocks mudhole, remember to shut off the air valve. Just don't for- get to open it before you operate. It'd be a good idea to glance at the case clamps to make sure they're tight. This helps keep the dewdrops out. With the AN/PRC-8 thru -10 series, only the outside needs attention. Dry with a rag-or let air do the job. POWTABLE9 ARE POO0 PARTN E,9- WI-WON TSA-l/,yI ALL WET, U1U.,, BUT FORGET I WITWIu YOU 81-451 8ATTWRY2 For an evening gown or other female-type teasers, the strap ess cover prom- ises all kinds of delights. For your BB-451 battery used with the AN/PRC-41, -47 radio sets, the strapless cover promises all kinds of problems. To elaborate: that nylon retaining strap on the battery serves a number of purposes, like making sure the cover doesn't get lost ...or making positive it goes back on only one way, and so forth. NYLON STRAP MUST NOT BE MISSING LUGS FIT HOLLOW BRACKET Replacing the cover right is the one to think about here. F'rinstance, if the nylon strap's missing, it's possible to position and snap the cover on wrong. Like, those two big lugs can be forced down on the radio cable receptacles and bust up the connecting pins. That's bad enough, but that same situation also can short out the battery. Ugh! If the strap's gone from your cover, a quick look can tell you whether you're positioning it right on the battery case. The lugs on the underside of the cover fit into the hollowed metal bracket of the case. The cover side featuring the two openings goes over the receptacle side of the case. 25 11 6" PINNING IT DOWN Dear Half-Mast, TM 11-5820-401-20 and PS Magazine have pretty well spelled out that you got to be careful with the tube puller when you're removing the power am- plifier (V6101) tube from the receiver-transmitters of the AN/VRC-12 series radio sets. Like, we're told not to rock or rotate the tube, etc., to keep from damaging the pins. This is fine, but a lot of Joes don't seem to realize it's a two-way proposition. Meaning, the tube pins still get damaged. The reason: Unit mechanics are wiggling the tubes when they put 'em back in! As you know, those pins bend mighty easy-and the tubes have to go in as straight as they're supposed to come out. Otherwise, pffftt! Maybe you can drop a reminder in PS. SP 5 E. A. M.

Not too hard, please, when you're usin' your mitt to get the grit from the contact pins. Some pins don't stand up to the strain and may leave you speechless. Good examples are audio connectors on AN/GRC-3 series radio set com- ponents. Too much push, like with a pencil eraser or such, can anchor the pins down just far enough so's they don't meet the contacts of the audio cable connector. Result: speechlessness.

So break it at the rear... it's a lot easier that way. Tracks Backward-It .4 WIDEST is physically possible to GROUSER have the track on back- ward. Your track is on right when the widest grouser of the top track shoes is toward the front. Track Rivets-The track rivets have to be secure. If you find one loose, replace it with a bolt the first chance you get. ---- ---- Adjusting Track Tension-Your TM shows you how to measure track tension with a taut string and a rule. You may not have a rule out in the field so measure the sockets in your OEM set and pick out and mark the socket that's nearest to 1 Y-in to IV7/-in high. Then you can use it with the string instead of a rule. REMEMBER.f! THE ADJUSTMENT OF Bor TrHAC"s FoZ -VE1N TUrEe ACTrON 19 A AInY qEL=viCE WITH THE M 1114.

When you change roadwheels, don't tighten the bolts in the two roadwheels too tight until you install the roadwheels on the hub. If you tighten 'em up too much, the pilot holes and the stud holes might not line up right and you'd have to start all over. Roadwheel Sight Gages--Use a rag to clean the mud off the sight gages. If you use a screwdriver you can scratch the gages so you can't see the oil level. 6~N "E~;, CO~ME T, ' C3ULr' LUqE "3&1E .1'A"k- N r~op WJ-4ELP TOE 1%,"FEL5,9 LJ~ -" Oil Check Plugs-Your road wheel arm oil level check plugs have six-point heads so use a 6-point socket on 'em. Use the 9/16-in socket with your half- inch drive set. If you use a 12-point socket you'll round off the heads. The same thing goes for your roadwheel oil filler hub plugs. Use a 6-point 7/16-in socket on them. USE 6-POINT SOCKETS ON PLUGS OIL FILLER PLUG OIL LEVEL CHECK PLUG These plugs are tapered so you won't need too much muscle.

Sprocket Bolts-Check your sprocket bolts every 1Lance you get, because th, 'll ork loose. If the bolt loosens and drops out that lets the sprocket have too much play and it soon wears out. Remember, it has to be a Grade 8 bolt. Sprocket Master Tooth-Which of the 11 sprocket teeth is the Master Tooth? You tracked vehicle mechanics must be able to solve this mystery before you can line up the sprocket wheel so the bolt holes match the bolt holes in the two track support wheels. 'Course this is easy if the tooth is stamped MASTER TOOTH ... no mystery at all... but some of them were shipped from the factory before they got stamped. On these you find the master tooth by checking the notches, starting with any notch at random and working all the way around the wheel. Stretch a string (or any straight edged object) so it goes in a straight line through these points: a. The center of the notch d b. The center of the bolt hole nearest to the c notch rb c. The center of the sprocket wheel d. The center of the bolt hole on the far side e. The center of the tooth When they all line up ... that's the master tooth. MARK IT.

Front Fender Guards-The old type fender guards break real easy if you try to straighten out a dent in 'em with a hammer or a tanker's bar. However, if they're rubbing on the track you'll have to do some pounding-but be gentle as possible.

If you leave the axle shafts connected you can ruin the geared steer unit. One thing about towing with the axle shafts out: The towed vehicle has no steer and no brakes, so you have to tow it with a tow bar, not with tow cables. So-o-o-o, IF YOU TOW, GO SLOW. WHEN THE MECHANIC PUTS THE AXLE SHAFT BACK, WE SHOULD GREASE THE ENPS LIGHTLY WITH 3-AA. Drain Plugs-There are two types. A threaded plug was used on the early M114's (data plate serial number 165 and below except for vehicles 158-160 and 162-164) and a type with 4 screws (6 screws for the larger engine oil filter drain) was used on all vehicles with serial numbers above 157 (except for vehi- cles 161 and 165). I ~ -- -~ r For the threaded plugs you use a V2-in square drive wrench along with an adapter-socket wrench 3-in square drive male to /2-in square drive female, FSN 5120-240-8701, for removing or installing plugs. Also, lube the threads lightly with GAA grease. These plugs are made of soft metal so be careful of cross-threading. Engine Compartment Access Cover-The front slope plate must be watertight or you'll be in trouble when you go swimming. Be sure the washers are in place under the attaching screws. Shipping Cover-Keep the shipping cover that comes with your M114A1 and use it as the vehicle paulin. You carry it in the right, rear, hull plate extension. If you don't have one, order - FSN 8340-256-4122. Serial Number-The vehicle serial number is on the data plate in the driver's compartment. This is the num- ber you use on your Equipment Log Book (DA Form 2408 series) and other TAERS forms. Look Alikes-The engine oil-fill hole and the radiator coolant fill-hole have the same ENGINE OIL shaped cap, and mistakes have ,iFILL HOLE I happened.

Headlight Guards-The headlight guards, (10910014 and 10910015) sometimes get torn off in heavy brush. These steel tubing and angle iron // guards are not in the supply system so you have to repair 'em by welding or by making complete new ones locally. 45 New Fan Belts-The matched set of three V-belts listed as Item 20, page 27, of your TM 9-2320-224-20P (Jul 62) has been improved. The new belts can stand up longer under high tension. They'll be listed under FSN 3030-967-3344 and each individual belt will be marked (10922131) instead of (10920729).

He must also keep a regular check on this adjustment. If he doesn't the transmission can be ruined. Change 2 (Aug 63) to TM 9-2320-224-20 (Jun 62) tells on page 18, para 96, how to make the adjustment. Be sure and use Change 2 because it has the latest dope. Brake Adjustment-Change 2 (LAUNIT FILTER (above), page 18, para 101.b., gives SEMI-ANNUALLY the latest way to adjust the brakes. It's a must for every mechanic's library. Steer Unit Filter-The geared steer unit external oil filter is hard to get to because it's mounted under the voltage regulator bracket. However, don't miss it when you make the regular semi- annual service. This filter traps a lot of gook. WINTER WONDERLAND Oil Filter Foul-up-In cold weather (zero or below) your geared steer oil filter takes a terrific pounding.

The latest word is that a special winterization kit will be issued for the vehicle only if long-time operation in -250F climate is planned. SB 9-16 is your author- ity for winterization equipment. Fast Idle-In starting your engine at temperatures between 0 and -25'F you need a fast idle. After you get your engine started, push your choke knob in slowly.

Because of this you need to know the various slaving methods. Re- gardless of how it is wired, the first six steps are the same. It's done like this ... .. -l~t~n~rti~f^Talnr~ldAl~wa'-I O:1 '.I 5. After the DEAD (slaved) vehicle engine starts, turn M ER OFF the ignition switch in the LIVE vehicle. Slaved vehide engine will run OK. II'lI draw juice from the batteries in the LIVE vehicle. Do this because you can't be sure two generators will operate in parallel without causing trouble. F oF IGNITION 6. Slaved IDEAD) vehicle let the engine worm up 5 to 10 minutes. Then turn its master switch ON to connect its batteries. II the slaved (DEAD) vehicle has late model master switch wiring, (serial number 1218 and above plus 1204-1212) flipping its master switch to the ON will connect the batteries so jump to Step 7. If, on tetherr hand, the slaved (DEAD) vehicle has its master switch wired the early way (serial numbers 1217 and below except serial numbers 1204-1212) you need another step in here. Call it 6a. 6a. To close your master relay you must first flip ON the master switch, then flash an electrical current through ' your master relay coil. JUMPER To do this run a jumper (booster) cable from a good ABLE battery's negative I-1 terminal to a negative terminal of your DEAD vehicle batteries. Now attach a jumper cable M J*ER to the positive (+) terminal of the good battery and .' flick the end of this cable across a positive terminal of i your slaved (DEAD) vehicle batteries. This'll close your master relay. 7. Whether your last step was 6 or 6a, your master switch is now ON in the slaved (DEAD) vehide. Jusi le the ~ series charge for a few minutes. TO STOP YOUR ENGINE A point to remember to stop your engine first turn OFF the ignition switch. After the engine has stopped turning over, turn OFF the master switch. REMEMBER THIS .. POINT. .

Sometimes a guy can get crossed up in a routine operation, like when he's greasirg a 5-ton bridge transport truck. Sure he lets go with the grease gun on the fittings until he spots grease ooz- ing out where it's supposed to-no sweat. But, this deal won't work on the loading roller, covered in LO 5-8063 (8 Dec 52), and there's a lot of these trucks around with popped roller bearing seals to prove it. If you lean on the gun, the bearing gets packed to the hilt. There's no place for any extra grease to go so-pow out goes the seal. -Couas oNCI A 9EAL 14;9 PFPPEP, IT TAIE- A LO OF ELBL OVER- GM4A9E tro -AKE THE PACKED -POPPED gOLLEz CAP OPF AM WORJ Tt40 915AL.9A( BEARING SEAL IATO pLA~c An easier way to face this exception to the general rule is to take out the standard grease fitting and put in a S"-pressure relief type. -The fitting you want to latch onto is listed in the Federal Supply Catalogs, I Class 4730.

You can keep your maintenance and supply publications that way in a port- able, stackable, weather-tight, homemade library. You can make the box-shelves out of scrap materials (plywood is good, too). The dimensions shown are good, but you can scale 'em out to your needs. Just remember to keep 'em light as possible ... and try for water-tight boxes with tight fitting lids. Then all you have to do is close 'em up when you ship out or take to the field. Line the boxes up in some safe place in the working area, just so the books are within easy reach of those who have a legitimate need for 'em. LINE ITEM NUMBRt A LI ALL THEIR OWN Just a minute, Pardner, if you're ridin' herd on tool sets or kits. Better pull up a bale of straw and take a load off of your feet 'cause here's some news that's going to interest you.... ' There's a DA Circular 725-5 (30Jun 64), "Removal AN of Components from Assemblages and Sets of Equip- rTHNk y ment," that affects your tool kits and sets. 60 VAtS . The gist of the circular is that some generators and / PAWPNS compressors are no longer a part of many tool kits and shop sets. They became separate line items of equipment as of 1 Oct 64. These changes will show up in your supply manuals. The TOE's and TA's are getting revised to show the compressors and generators as separate line items of equipment. This means that when you're ordering a tool set or kit that formerly had the compressor or generator, you'll have to requisition the deleted items individually. NO DISINFECTANT, PLEASE It's real simple to clean the food- chopping board (FSN 7330-281-4695). After you use the board (and the sooner after use the better) use a detergent solution or hot soapy water and a stiff scrub brush on it. Then rinse with clear, hot water. You want to use enough water to rinse off the detergent but try not to get the board soaking wet all the way through. And, don't dunk it in water. The more water you use, the more chance there is of the layers separating. Once that happens, you have to get rid of the board. T4AT NO-DIUNiIN 1 S BIFerr 5OE9 FOR ii~ WOODEN UTONS-9I9 rO. That no-dunking bit also goes for wooden utensils and knives with wooden handles. Water causes wood to expand and, as it dries, the wood shrinks and leaves open seams or cracks -and a cleaning problem. ALARM PROTECTION A standard wooden footlocker, some suitable boards for partitions, and a little carpentry are all it takes to give your VG Alarm E41R3 (FSN 6665-671- 9584) and its components a good home. The sturdy box also solves the han- dling problems you have when you keep the alarm and its components in card- board boxes. The box takes the alarm unit, reagent kit, the two batteries and the elec- trical headset and special purpose cable. Your property disposal center may have some footlockers you can use. I i I DD FORM 1150..THE H/R's HELPER Nothing fancy... Just the facts. That's all the supply scoop you need on DD Form 1150 "Request for Issue or Turn-in". The multicolored, three-copy form is OK'd as the issue and turn-in form twixt property book officers and their handreceipt holders. See para 13c, Change 4 (27 Nov 63), AR 735-35 "Supply Procedures for TOE Units,Organizations, and Non-TOE Activities". But don't get shook-up by the form's various blocks and spaces. When it's used as a side-kick for DA Form 2062 "Handreceipt" you fill-in only a mini- mum number of its blocks and columns. For example, here's a sample: REOUEs FOR ISSUE OR TURNING n , PS Ma ozine Ok HA 65 S p I And Service Br S7430 44313T writer Non rt u and lower case char AS key- board 42 to 44 ke s 13" carriage, e ite type, a e: R inton Ser No. J2862355 Nothing Follows SDD-, 9o ,15 I.. r m- *I.Y t .5, s8. .iY . 58 DeaHlr 1 '4 st need' on a o D oes TOE unit f- fo r it t of suply recr separate prop .Flained itears ,r aeser and fles, y book, docum en da separate separate supply ode d a pt1 pBO?

Wherever in annes is kept. of S course, the security SOP applies When you can't make your AC con- nections any other way, you can always go in for some of that "local procure- ment," right? Right. But with the usual care and caution. Some of those commercial-type plugs, or connectors, just weren't made to put out in a military manner. You run across such things as light plastic ma- terial, even lighter wire, no tensile strength, and all that sort of thing. Doesn't make for good, satisfying con- nections, what with all those repeated insertions and withdrawals that power plugs are prone to. Now your military-type (MIL-C- 3767) male power plug or connector is designed for real rugged use. It comes with a clamp to grip the cable, so you don't have to rely on the conductors alone for tensile strength. It's well in- sulated, with rugged prongs that can take on any ol' receptacle without get- ting bowed in the knees. And as you --------- know, there're some mighty fancy fe- male receptacles stuck around on the walls of some shops, plants, supply points and such. Let's see, now, where were we ... ? Federal Supply Catalog C5935-IL-A, Connectors, Electrical (1 Aug 64) lists more connectors than you'll ever know what to do with. But here're some that you can get a lot of use out of: Connedor, Plug, Eledrical (power, nonpolarized parallel-bladed) Type UP 120M (2 blades), FS 5935-518-9653. Connector, Plug, Electrical (power, 3-wire, ground- ing type) Type UP 121M (3 blades), FSN 5935- 636-7145. This has a fixed ground blade and can- not be used in two-blade receptacles. M W__ I 7rnW The whole point is, it's much better to get your AC replacement plugs through the regular supply channels, and to resort to local purchase only as a last resort.

Be sure you use the same outer lock ring for the rim or wheel you took off. Got word that one guy switched the outer lock ring from a Baker RJF060 rough terrain forklift to a LeTourneau-WestinghouseM-20 tractor-towed crane. Sure, the substituted ring looked the same and snapped into place without sweat... but, it wasn't identical. As a result-it gave way under heavy load. Now, there's a guy in the hospital and his equipment's on deadline. So remember: use the right part-always!

TRACTOR-TOWED CRANE i0 &RING& CHANGE THE PLATE The ID plate on Bogue Electric Company 3-KW generators (FSN 6115-075- 1640) procured on P.O.88-AF-50496-N.Y. says the rig is covered by the TM 5- 6115-275 series of pubs. The plate is out of date; it should now read TM 5-6115- 271 series. Your support people can give you a hand on changing the plate. Easy does it... when it's battery PM time on your Davey 3, 500 PSI, model P4, air compressor. There's more to it than just routine maintenance. Water and acid slopped from the battery through the battery box drain holes can drip and splash on the parts directly below. This potent mixture can enter the first stage air filter ... or cor- rode the filter and air shrouds under the box. Sure, removing the batteries before pulling PM takes a little more time and muscle, but it'll pay off when your birds are ready to take wing. BE A TACH WATCHER Keep your eye on that slot where hours of engine operation are recorded on the tachometer of your 10-ton cargo truck or truck tractor. 5 30"1 '*' (~ WILL GIVE VOU iL)' \ 10 You need the readings in hours from the tach--as well as miles from the odometer-for DA Forms 2408-1, 2408-2, 2408-3 and 2408-10. Some wheeled vehicles don't get readings in hours, but these 10-ton bruisers do-but definitely. For a quick clue on why you need the hours, take a look at the vehicles' ESC's. See items 16, 17 and 18 for the cargo truck in TM 9-2320- 206-ESC/1 (Jun 64) and items 17, 18 and 19 for the truck tractor in TM 9- 2320-206-ESC/2 (Jun 64). To make some of the ESC checks, you may need a look, too, at the vehicle's DA Form 2408-6, 2408-8 or 2408-10---especially if the engine or maybe the transmission and transfer have been replaced.

Don't go slippin' a ringer in on those 1-1/4-amp power pack and jack field fuses of your SB-86/P switchboard. Some Joes have been known to substi- tute as hot as a 5-amp fuse, and the extra juice those jobs let through might just kinda burn up the switchboard. If you don't have a 1-1/4-amp job, do your best to get one. They're in TM 11- 5805-304-20P (Jul 63) under FSN 5920- 284-9457 and 5920-284-9454. * r IC.~LC -'U- -~ I #~ -,- Lb r clCI 4 IS I ~Y1 |
