Dear Editor:
Here's an idea to improve the
Before-During-After operator
PM on equipment. Other out-
fits could use the triangle
idea on posters, wallet
cards, decals, stenciled
on equipment, in unit
newspapers- almost
anywhere as

long. If it shorts out you need a new
sending unit FSN 5930-888-7656 (Part

the supply people may send you instead
a part marked MS 90530-2. Don't accept
it. Instead of completing the circuit
when the engine is running this part
completes the circuit when the engine
is turned off, so the reading it gives
you is useless.
(NOTE: On late production vehicles -Serial

different location but it is the same switch.)

solid state rectifier, FSN 6130-999-
9825, not directly interchangeable with
the FSN 5960-856-1316 rectifier still in
stock. However, it's easy for your me-
chanic to install the new rectifier as a
replacement part in earlier vehicles.

TRAVEL LOCK FPah', -
1. To prepare for fast
action "hip shoots"
some crews have been
removing the top half
of the travel lock. That
lets them get out of
travel lock just by ele-
vating the gun tube from inside the
turret. There are times when this can
be very handy.
2. Handy it is but dandy it isn't. Firing
at a low angle you run a big risk that the
muzzle blast will beat up an unsecured
travel lock. Always strap it down before
firing if you can.

TRAVEL L'I: !'M I i1,'I All parts FP
including the hold-down strap. (If your
M109 has Serial No. 99 or any serial
number 94 or below, it'll have a latch-
type hold down. If it has a number
higher than 94 (except 99) it will have
a stop-type hold down.) On late model
(above 94) hold downs, the lug-mounting
screws (P/N 35303-110) work loose be-
cause of vehicle vibration. Have these
screw heads drilled and laced with
lockwire.

SHOOT FROM
THE HIP LIKE JOHN

MUZZLE PLUG-Some M108 crews
have been keeping their muzzle plugs
from getting lost by securing them with
a piece of wire.

WHEN YOU USE
A MUZZLE PLUG. _J

MUZZLE BRAKE (M109) Check for
cracks around the baffles. If you have
cracks longer than an inch, ask your
support for a new muzzle brake. Keep
your muzzle brake locking ring on tight
and your muzzle brake lock secure.
Check 'em when you can during pauses
in firing.

TORQUE KEY M 11.11 If your howitzer tube torque key (guide key)
is worn out the tube will not be guided right in recoil and counter-
recoil. So, to keep the key in good shape, lube it after 500 rounds
and check often for wear. When the torque key has worn .021 of
an inch it should be replaced. Previous experience indicates this
amount of wear will occur in about 1500 rounds of firing.

/ES The bore evacuator valves have to be cleaned every day after
firing in both the M108 and the M109. This is important because if the valves get
dirty, smoke from firing will get into the fighting compartment. The M109 should not
be fired unless all 6 valves are installed and torqued to 75 Ibs-ft. If they are loose
or left out the thread in the barrel will be damaged.

Replace weak springs as necessary and
if you bend a little curve in the pin it
is less likely to vibrate out.

and before firing. Keep
slightly over-filled rather
than slightly under-filled. If
it is slight over-filled the
worst that can happen is
that you will lose some re-
coil oil. If it is underfilled,
the counter-recoil can be
too fast and you can crack

ruin the cam roller and burr
the cam path.

a high idle rate, 'specially in cold weather. For normal operation idle
for 5 minutes at 1,000 RPM when starting. During cold weather when
idling for periods over 10 minutes, set the idle at 1200-1600. When
it's not cold, and you idle for periods over 10 minutes, adjust to
1,000-1,200 RPM.

M107/M110 OIL
RESERVE POOP... TAP NO MORE

Seems like some guys are forever thinking of something to er ... drink.
Real bad around a self-propelled M107 gun or M110 howitzer when you're
establishing the oil reserve using the vehicle engine.
You know where it says in para 80b(3) of Ch 4 to TM 9-2300-216-10 that
you should tap the recuperator oil index lightly to see that it's working OK?
Well, they tap it alright like it was a keg of beer!
Result: a banged-up pin or internal injuries like sheared-off rack gear teeth.
Another M158 mount headed for depot, another M107 or M O10 out of action.
Real costly ... mission- and dollar-wise.

R ctNo, No, NO!
PLEAsE NEVER
D TAP THAT OIL

Cross out the words in para 80b(3) and wipe 'em from your mind. The
word went out to all major commands in U. S. Army Weapons Command Msg
15349 (6 Jun 68).
If the oil index won't move out like it's supposed to, you leave it be and
tell your support guys to look into it.

THE 11-T'1' TO IT
Also, it seems that some guys're running into snags with the rest of the oil
reserve deal in para 80 of Ch 4, especially where is calls for using the electric-
driven hydraulic pump. This can get pretty tricky, y'know.

THINGS!

USING THE ELECTRIC PUMP
However, if the index pin won't move out, it means the nitrogen pressure in
the recuperator is over 2400 PSI, and you've got to use the electric pump to get
more oil pressure in there. First thing to do is to recruit a buddy to man the
pump switch for you. Station him up on the left side of the deck.
Just switching the pump ON will do it for the 8-in howitzer 'cause it has a
lower pressure requirement in its recuperator, but you'll definitely have to use
the pump's OVERRIDE for the 175-MM gun.

HEADS UP, MEN!
This is where it gets real tricky, so make sure you and your buddy are at your
sharpest. Ready? OK.

Natch, if the ON switch doesn't budge the pin on the M107, you use the
OVERRIDE.
You go through exactly the same deal on counting between "Go" and "Stop."
Only difference is your buddy puts his finger on-keeps it on-the OVER-
RIDE instead of flipping the switch. This OVERRIDE's spring-loaded and re-
quires steady pressing.
This should establish your oil reserve. Now your buddy can let the pump
switch return to the OFF position, and you can put the retracting control-valve
handle in NORMAL & HOLD, turn off the PTO switch and shut the engine
down.
Remember this, though, if the index pin fails to come out at all, don't fuss
around with it. Get your DS people on it quick.
TIPS TO SECTION CHIEFS
That index pin will stay out as long as the oil reserve's up to snuff. Check it
daily and especially before and during firing.
Incidentally, you'd be smart to keep an eye on the recoil lengths when firing.
Para 37.1 in Ch 4 has a chart that'll guide you on this.
And notch this in your crew's headgear: Any time your cannon fails to return
to battery or the index pin won't budge (without tapping, natch!) is the right
time to whistle for DS.

Don't sweat the likes of an ol' switch-

There're two versions of the light

Dear HalfMast \o"
Can you tell me why Ch 1 (Aug 67) to SC 4910-95-CL-A72 took the Adjusting Tool,
Valve Tappet, and the Caliper, Slide Diameter Cross Section, out of the Automotive
Maintenance No. 2 Common Tool Set?
According to the TM's, we need those tools for adjusting valve clearance on certain
engines and for matching tires.
SSG C. E. M.
Dear Sergeant C. E. M.,
When you've got a screwdriver and SCREW
the right-size box end wrench already DRIVER
among your tools, you don't need that
special tool for adjusting valve clear-
ance. The screwdriver-wrench method FEER
is just as easy and saves you from hav- GAGE WRENCH
ing to keep track of a special tool.
And on that tire diameter measuring
TAPE caliper, it's been decided that measur-
\ MEASURE ing the tire circumference is good
S*enough for matching tires by size.
) You've got Tape, Measuring, FSN
S5210-221-1875, in your No. 2 Com-
Smon Tool Set. Para 27 (Matching Tires)
in TM 9-1870-1 (Feb 55) tells you how.

HOT POTATO RUMOR
Dear Half-Mast,
I got word of a change: No more national markings on tactical vehicles in an over-
seas area. Is this correct? wO P. J. M.

Dear Mr. P. J. M.,
No ... drop that idea like a hot potato, Sir. AR 746-5 clearly says the national
symbol will be marked on all tactical and combat vehicles. Only for security, a
commander of a major Army command may remove markings.

Sure, you turn the roll control knob in either direction to get a 45-degree
bank. But if you don't get exactly the same bank in each direction never use
muscle to force the knob past the mechanical stop.
Using force grinds one gear against another and before you know it the gears
strip, the knob turns 360-degrees and you lose the detent to center the knob.
Your autopilot is out-of-whack.
Fact is, it's just about impossible to equalize your turns. This is no real
problem.
Now, suppose you engage the autopilot while you're in a turn. Then you level
off and wind up with a wing low, despite the fact that you've got the roll trim
control turned all the way to the maximum. Using muscle here won't help either
. .. more busted equipment! !
Instead, leave the trim where it is.

Disengage the autopilot.

PO
IT Rotate the trim to the

additional trim control.

Then engage the autopilot and turn the
trim in the original direction to bring the
wing up.

The behavior of the flight controller in these instances is normal-no log

grease by your friendly avionics repairmen.

Ever set your bird down on an un-
improved strip? Sure you have! It's at
times like this, without your tools and
maintenance facilities, that a fly-away
kit comes in mighty handy.
For one, those pierced steel plank
corrugated landing mats play hob on
tires. You're rolling along and-pow!

One tire change coming up.
You can pull off the runway and
change that tire in a matter of minutes
with a kit containing items like this: a
spare main gear tire, nose gear tire,
10-ton jack, small bag of cotter keys,
screwdriver, pliers, miscellaneous
wrenches and hardware.

LET'S KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT

STake'a bow, man, if your bird is up-to-snuff MWO-wise.
To make sure your log book, DA Form 2408-5, agrees with the poop at the
Aviation Systems Command, tho, better eye the EIR and Maintenance Digest
regularly for any MWO that wasn't applied ... or was it ? ?
Like maybe you got it done OK, but the completion info was lost in the shuffle
and never got back to the headshed.
So, if the serial number of your bird appears in the EIR Digest as being delin-
quent and the mod was done more than 4 months prior to the date of the Digest,
here's what you should do:
Dig up your file copy of the DA Form 2407 that shows the mod was done.
Duplicate this info on a new DA Form 2407, copy number 2, and send it to
your Command's Data Processing Center.

If you can't locate the original maintenance request, take this route:
Fill out another DA Form 2407, using the mod completion info from the
DA Form 2408-5. Use failure code 797 ... No defect-MWO previously com-
plied with. Send copy number 2 to Your Command's Data Processing Center (or
to Lexington if there's no DPC).

BY THE NUMBERS...

S/ SAY' THAT
NUMBER ,
AGAIN.

E F -- 1r -I
l .. N

Hold one--before you write the serial number for your bird on a log book
form. Make sure you've got it right.
What happens when the bird tail number, which is only part of the serial num-
ber, gets on a TAERS form? Plenty!
The wrong number gets transferred from a log book form for machine proc-
essing. Then when the poop arrives at a data center the computer accepts the
bogus number. With that number, the machine "creates" a non-existent
aircraft.
To prevent the loss of good poop, make sure you use the serial number that
appears on the bird data plate.
So, right now, while you've got a few minutes, check over all the forms in
your bird's log book. Be sure serial numbers-not tail numbers-are in the
serial number blocks. Prevent trouble when you fill out aircraft reporting
forms in the future.

CARRY TIME FORWARD
Dear Windy,
Just to keep the records straight, is test flight time counted as port of a just-com-
pleted periodic inspection?
My buddy says it is, but I sa) the fight time is applied toward the next 100-hr PE.
Who's right?
le ARE SP6 S.
Dear Specialist D. S., YOU RIGHT, P.SR

TB 55-1500-301-25 (23 Oct para 4c(l) on maintenance inspections says
that periodic are normally due every 100 flying hours after completion of the
last PE.
TB AVN 23-16 (28 Feb 66) on test flights lists the conditions under which a
test flight is required. Para 4a(1)(j) calls for a test flight after a periodic inspec-
tion has been completed.

THE AN/GRC-106 RADIO SET...

That AM-3349 power amplifier on
your AN/GRC-106 can carry a power-
ful load but it could bog down, may-
be at an embarrassing time, if it's not
operated properly tuned.
Yessir, unless you tune it right,
you're mighty liable to get hit with
failures of the C-22 plate trimmer ca-
pacitor. And conk-outs like that can
put the Angry-106 on downtime, when
it really oughtn't to be.
But make no mistake .. failure of
the AM-3349 power amplifier is not
restricted to just the Angry-106. If the
AM-3349 is not treated right and tuned
right, it can flunk out in such configura-
tions as the AN/VSC-2, AN/GRC-142,
and the AN/GRC-122.
So-o-o-o, it's a good idea to be espe-
cially careful when you synchronize
the LOAD and TUNE dials.

YA RECLL T u rNE?)

When you change frequencies on the RT-662 receiver-transmitter, you've got
to return the LOAD and TUNE meters on the AM-3349 to the center position.
If you relocate your radio set, re-check the LOAD and TUNE meters. Re-
center the needles if necessary.
This'll ease your mind-and also lengthen the life span of the tuning capacitor.
The tuning procedure in para 24, TM 11-5820-520-12, has been changed to
indicate that you should immediately tune the ANT LOAD and ANT TUNE con-
trols after setting the HV RESET switch at TUNE and before taking readings
h with the TEST METER.
While you're eyeballing both associated meters, you should practice tuning
the ANT TUNE and ANT LOAD at the same time-left hand on the ANT
TUNE knob and right hand on the ANT LOAD knob.
This will increase your proficiency and shorten the tuning time.

To make sure you're tuning right, you can:

Keep your antenna lead clean. '

Keep connectors free of dirt to insure a good elec-
trical connection. d"

Check RF cable for kinks or breaks.

When you're using the 50-ohm GRA-50 double
antenna, see that it's cut to the proper frequency.

In operating your -106 (or other configurations), the rule is: Once you turn

When that projector is being stored, put it in its case or

And, if you're where the wet is the wettest, turn on the

Remember on DA Form 2064
(document register), the "From" and
"To" blocks take their dates from the
form's column a. And, the dates simply
cover the period that the page was used
to initiate requests.
The requests' completion dates, on
the other hand, go in the form's col-
umn i. The "From" and "To" blocks,
therefore, can be filled long before .
some of the blanks in column i are
completed.

HOW'S YOUR FOLLOW-UP
SYSTEM...?
IT'S
Do you have to finger all the supply IN ERE
status cards when you're checking fol- SOME F
low-up dates on your requests? WHERE.
Well, eye this handy box and filing
system. It'll help you stack the status l
cards so the follow-up dates are easy to
spot.
You can make the box as long as you
need to. But, it should be 10 inches wide
and 2-1/4 inches high, and it should
have a smooth inside bottom.
A board, to fit the inside length of the
box, and 2-1/2 inches wide and 1/2
inch high, goes on each side on the in-
side bottom of the box.
Filing a request card on the left side -.
makes its upper left end angle up. And,
filing the latest status card on the re-
quest to the right side, makes its right '
upper end angle up, so its date column -
(blocks 62-64) is easy to check. And
using a paper clip in the center of each
request helps to keep the cards in their
proper places.
