CLEAN'M or CW M
Except for you-the operator-just about lite nimol
important thing on a piece of equipment is the -
filter.
"How come?" you ask.
Look at it this way: That filter on our equip- -.
ment is there like a policeman to protect --
your equipment from its worst einemn -Dirl.
Dirt is the big, big equipment killer. It
gets inside, on and around everything ..-
and does its murderous work. A fe t
ounces inside a big engine like on a
tank or dozer, and that engine' AN
dead, shot.
Filters are put on your equipment
to stop this. You have air filters
to clean dirt from the air that
goes into things like engines
and electronic equipment.
You have fuel filters to keep
dirt, water and other goop
out of the delicate parts of en-
gines. And you have oil filters
to trap dirt that gets in engine
oils and hydraulic fluids.
Your job is to make sure tIhe l
filters do their job. It's real -ini-
ple: Clean them or change them- ju-t
like your tech manual says. The niore .
loose dirt there is around your area.
the more often you'll have to clean or
change.
Do it as often as need be to make i
sure your equipment stays ill Ihe fight.

The follower group of the firing
mechanism block can easily be damaged
or removed. If this happens, you can
fire the howitzer withoutt the breech
being completely closed.
The back pressure of a round fired
that vay could tear up the gun and
there's a good chance thar some crew-
men vould get hurt.
So this is the ,kas to make sure the
block is completely closed before you
fire-

Engine speed will generally go over 2,450 RPM
for a second and then stabilize at 2,450. If the
governor repeatedly cuts in and out or surges at

could go out of control. Be prepared to shut down
so speed will not go over 2,450 RPM for more
than 2-3 seconds.

lube before you pull a pipe plug and tem-
porarily replace it with a grease tilting.

-ilh'wi.iii TUBES (M109 vehicles with
Serial No. 1123 and up)-With the new el-
evating cylinder the hydraulic tubes tend to
break. An MWO for a damper bracket is in THEY'F
the works but for now loosen all 4 tube NOT
clamps. After letting the tubes get in a relax- PASSEN'
ed position, retighten the clamps and wind STRAP'
several turns of green tape around the tubes
and the cylinder. These tubes are not sub-
way straps. No. 1 cannoneer, 'nuff said?

HYDPALUIi: F'OWEP PACK The retaining
clamp FSN 5340-0816707 can loosen which
will allow too much vibration which may rup-
ture the lines. Getting the clamp too tight
can be lust as bad. So ask your mechanic to
tighten the adjusting nut with a .002 feeler
gage under it so tight he can not pull the
feeler gage loose. Then he will back off
enough to get the gage out after which he
will retighten 1-'i to 1-'2 turns.

20/5 (Nov 65) has been applied. The
MWO offsets the cross bars so they're
shorter on the left side.
(On some of the slings the hooks are
too large for the transmission lifting
brackets -so widen the holes, at the
bottom, not at the top, as this would
weaken the bracket.)

COOLING SYSTEM If you have an M108 with serial 3 to 453 or M109 serial 5 to
454 make sure MWO 9-2350-217-20/4 (Aug 65) has been applied. It gives you a
better pressure relief valve for your coolant surge tank.
When adding water or anti-freeze, first make sure the crossover tube drain cock
is open. Fill the radiator, and when liquid flows in a steady stream from the drain
cock, close the cock. Keep on filling until the radiator is full. Run engine for 5 min-
utes with filler cap closed. Check level again and add coolant if you need it. On some
first-year vehicles there are 2 drain cocks, one on the crossover tube and one on the
surge tank.

FLOTATION EiOUIPMENT If your vehicle has it, check
the way it says on pages 107-111 of your -10 TM.

PAINTING Clean and paint bare or
worn spots on painted surfaces if there
is any danger of rusting or a reflection
from metal that could give your position
away.
LINFRAPED OPERATION Your M109
has lights, switches, and everything
else needed for IR operation except
there is no IR periscope. Keep this
equipment in good shape because IR
capability may be added later, if and as
needed.

DECALS, STENCILS-The word on all
decals, stencils and instruction plates:
If you can't read it, replace it.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS Check all
exposed electrical cables, boxes, ter-
minals and controls. Tighten things that
shouldn't be loose. Tape cables that are
frayed or have broken insulation.

tions. If you need more ask
for Sealer fording, FSN
8030-056-0196, in your

SLA'ING IDEAL Reverse polarity dur-
ing slaving can ruin the diodes in your
regulator and rectifier. Decal FSN 7690-
912-3504 (P/N 10944793) tells how to
do it right. This decal should be stuck
on the wall near the slave receptacle,
which will be in the driver's compart-
ment (early vehicles) or the battery
compartment (late vehicle).

UNSAFE CONDITIONS--Check entire
vehicle for any unsafe condition which
could hurt a member of the crew. Safety
inspection includes brakes, steering and
shifting linkage and fire extinguishers.
Anything cracked with a sharp edge that
a crewman could fall against?

tears- the bag's not guaranteed watertight, so-oo-o ...

SOME STRAIGHT TALK
-, PULL UP A COUPLE STUMPS,
MEN, AND LET'S TACKLE THIS
SERIOUS PROBLEM.., WHAT
CAUSES IT AND WHAT YOU
CAN DO ABOUT IT_..

ON BLOWN-UP M16A1'S: 4

YOU'RE

'"T CURE!

s1' Y'know, it could be worth a life or limb or rifle to know all the angles on this
-. -whether you're where the action is or not.
First, however, let's get one thing clear: It's highly unlikely that it'll be the
rifle's or the ammo's fault if one blows up. It's usually the rifleman's--some-
thing you do or don't do. And you are the only guy who can prevent it. OK?
Now, why they blow up. Simple: If the bore gets clogged, too much pressure
builds up in the chamber and/or bore when you pull the trigger... and wham!
What-all could clog it up? You name it. It doesn't take much to clog a rifle
barrel, that's for sure.

w -- ^ ---_- -* ----
Things like...
.. Swabs, cleaning rod sections, sticks-dopey stuff like that which you
could detect with ordinary heads-up inspection.
... Oil, grease, mud, corrosion-things you could prevent or get rid of by
doing a careful cleaning and lubing job. (Cleaning-run the brush and patch all
the way through the flash suppressor before pulling it back. Lubing the bore-
just a very, very thin film of LSA, remember?)
... Water in any form-rain, or water from fording or falling in a paddy. Ho-
Ho-Ho! HIO's usually your biggest problem!

HEH WHY WATER'S SO DANGEROUS
HEH i Water's the sneakiest villain for a number of reasons.
For one, there're several ways it can get in your bore
S. like when you slip while crossing a stream, or you
get caught in a heavy shower. For two, even if you know
7 it's in there ... like after fording or operating in a mon-
soon ... it's mighty hard to get out-especially if you've
( Agot a round chambered.
What happens is that the chambered cartridge forms
SIa seal that won't let the water drain out properly. If the
cartridge is in there long enough-a couple of hours, say
--corrosion starts to form, which makes it even worse.

...-.......... CAN FORM
C A SEAL. A,

17 ,

St LI J T \ Even without a round chambered,
ME... JUST
POINTING THE water in the bore can give you the
MuZZLE DOWN', sweats. The small diameter of the bore
ISN'T THE keeps the moisture from draining
WHOLE ANSWER.'., .. easily. So, if you chamber a round while
S there's still too much water in there
that same-type of seal forms and .
bloody, when you fire!
Yessir, getting that water out of
there before firing is more important
than mail call.
S Only trouble is, just pointing the
muzzle down won't hack it. You have
d '' to break that seal by pulling back on
the charging handle to pull the round
-- r p l 'fJl part-way out of the chamber and then
S--shake the water out ...

SMART OPERATING PROCEDURE
So, OK, here're a couple of situation-type solutions for when you get water in
the bore from any cause--rain, fording, whatever.

When Round's Not Chambered like when you're heading out first thing in the
morning and your CO says you don't need to keep the chamber loaded.

1. Seat your loaded magazine, with the dust cover dosed. 2. Drain the bore often by
pointing the muzzle down
m I. and shaking the water out.

3. When you're ready to fire, charge your
rifle. It'll take a dean round into a
dean chamber... and you can fire with-
out sticking.

When Round Is Chambered ... like you're in combat-just forded a stream or came out
of a heavy rain ... and Charlie's maybe everywhere.
Be mighty sure you do these before pulling that trigger:

1. Point the muzzle down. 2. Pull the charging handle 3. Press the forward assis
back a ways so that air to make sure the round'
can break that "seal." seated in the chamber
Then shake the water out. and the bolt is locked.

% \ I

4. Fire!
4.1 i Ar, WAIT! REMOVE CAP FIRST!
One big thing, though: If you're using one of those plastic protective caps
(FSN 5340-880-7666) on your muzzle, be sure you take it off before you start
draining the bore.
Incidentally, this cap'll help keep water from entering the mouth of the bore,
but it won't stop seepage from the chamber end when your rifle gets dunked.

WATCH YOUR BUTT, TOO!

While we're gabbing about water.
let's hammer home the importance of
keeping it out of the lower receiver, too. i
This may not have anything directly ro
do with blowing up your shooter, but it
could keep it from firing-which is the (
next worst thing. CLEAR THE

BY POING LIKE THE
EXPERT S! ,Keep the track at the exact
SI Wtension called for by your ve-
hicle TM. Too tight is not
bright, and there is no excuse
for too loose. The experts keep
the tension exact, and their
track rubber wears longer.

TRACKS WEAR MORE ON TH '
INNERSIDE!

Cure: Switch the tracks, left
LT on right and right on left. That
way you'll even up the wear.
(Course, with some tracks there
is a left and a right type of
track which can't be switched.
Also, you don't want to wind
up with the V of chevron
grouser track pointing back-
ward.) You'll find the inner
road wheels wear faster than
the outer, so switch 'em when
necessary to equalize the wear.

M88 VTR SOLENOID QUIZ

S P'DRAULIC'S SHOT-
SCOULP BE MY
GOLDAN-G SOLENOID!

HEIE'S THE
QUESTION :. I %

SWhat happens if the engine governor electric
S,4solenoid gets rusted?
Sl e The governor can't hold down the engine
speed as much as it should during winching so
the hydraulic system operates under higher pres-
sure than it was made for.
Result?
Torn up hydraulic pumps and broken hydrau-
lic lines.
But howcum the solenoid gets rusted?
Water condenses inside the housing or seeps

First take the solenoid off and dry it.
Next you gently get the rust off with a little fine sandpaper.
When you put the solenoid back, use the gasket but also seal around the
opening with a couple dabs of gasket shellac. FSN 8040-664-4134 gets you a
pint can.
You also rub a little insulating compound on the rubber of the electrical
connection. FSN 5970-159-1598 is good for an 8-oz tube.
This works fine for years but after several cleaning the solenoid gets too worn
down to do its job. Then you put on a new one. Governor solenoid repair kit
FSN 2990-893-5931 includes the solenoid and a new solenoid gasket.
When you put on a new solenoid you also adjust the governor the way it says
on page 149 of TM 9-2320-222-20 (Aug 66).

So what do you do if you have an M12A7C telescope and
what is an M12A7Q anyhow?
The M12A7Q telescope is an MI2A7C, MI2A7F or
M12A7H telescope after MWO 9-1240-236-50/1 (Aug 67) ...AND
has been applied. This MWO, which by now should have RETICE
been done to all M 12A7-series telescopes, provides a different
reticle.
Regardless of what type of MI 2A7 telescope you have, give
it an ESC rating on DA Form 2404. The ESC rating standards
are the same for all versions of the Ml 2A7.
If your telescope has not been converted yet, have this done .
and ill out the Equipment Modification Record (DA Form

A CLOGGED BREATHER IS
LEAKY SEALS AND COSTLY

CHECK YOUR BREATHER VALVES--
LIKE AROUND THE STEERING GEAR,
DIFFERENTIAL, TRANSFER ANPAXLE
HOUSING-- A PIRT- PLUGGED BREATHER
r CAN MEAN TROUBLE,

If the dirty valve is on the transfer
or steering gear housing, you may
find the shaft and control valve oil
seals bursting.
If it's the grimy one on the differen-
tial or axle housing, you'd better inspect
the brake drum for lubricant blown out
through the seals.
You may even suffer an outbreak of
failures if enough pressure has built up
from many paint-blocked breathers on
new and rebuilt trucks.

A ONE-WAY TICKET TO ALL SORTS OF TB ORD 625 (Jan 56) gives you

Along with the TB, be sure you read
the TM of your own vehicle and replace
a valve according to the TM word.
SCheck your -20P for the breather you
need.
FFFF Keep in mind to clean the area
GAsF around the valve too. Otherwise, any
dirt there will'drop into the case when
you're removing the vent.- MA
You clean all ventilating valves by
soaking them in a drycleaning solvent
or in mineral spirits paint thinner.
After that, brush them with a stiff
brush.
The whole idea is to make certain
you've cleared the passages, and that
the valves move freely. .;'
If you have to, use a soft metal rod
to remove obstructions.
SThen, after you've dried the valves
I with compressed air (10 PSI or less),
you finish the job by lubricating them
sparingly with clean engine oil.

G838-SIIES I/4-TON TRUCK...

BONE YARD BUMPERS
Dear Editor,
Rubber hood bumpers on our M 15A I /4-ton trucks don't stay too well in those square
holes in the top windshield frame.
Adding trouble to trouble, those bumpers are a non-stock item. And there're none to
be had at the cannibalization point, because everyone else has the same trouble.
But you can get replacements at the bone yard, anyway, if you know where to look.
Those brake and clutch pedal bumpers (FSN 5340-678-1431) in the M151A I seem to be
the same thing and fit just dandy.

ADAPTER FOR M151
You'll have no more trouble getting to those U-joints of your M151 1/4-ton
truck if you use the 6-in grease gun coupling adapter, FSN 4930-204-2550, which
is found in your lubricating kit. This kit, FSN 4930-357-6301, is a part of your
No. 1 and No. 2 Common Tool Kits.

Yes, you can tote the M3A3 smoke
generator on the M151 or the M38 1/4-
ton trucks-or on the M100 or M416,
1/4-ton trailers. But first support has
to work over the generator's M2 mount
like it says in MWO 3-1040-202-45/1
(Apr 68).
With the MWO fix the generator can
be easily swapped from one truck or
trailer to the other and you can load and
unload the generator faster, too. And,
M33 by the way, the stock number for the
M3A3 in the MWO's para 5 is really
FSN 1040-587-3618.
The M3 mount for the oil drum needs
MWO 3-1040-255-45/2 (Apr 68), so
you can lug the oil in either one of the
trailers.

THE DATE'S IMPORTANT!

Here's news for you M728 combat engineer vehicle cannoneers: There's a

new obturator pad (FSN 1025-072-6655 ... P/N 8769416) in supply for your

165-MM weapon. It's got a date-1-1968, for example-stamped on the inner

ring. Use it every time.

Here's the kicker: If the obturator pad you've got doesn't have the month

and year stamped on its ring, you must replace it with one of these new ones.

Whatever you do-don't fire off with the old-type pad in there!

The transmission oil pressure caution light on
your Huey (UH-1) can give you the cold clammy .

The light switch can short out if water gets
into the housing, causing a short across the con-

If the transmission light comes on in your

Now you see it- now you don't??
That's the way it is with the passenger doors on your Huey. Fly with a door
partly open, and the wind can yank it off.
More tail rotor blades get FOD that way than you can shake a wand at!!
No magic needed when you fly a doors-on bird, tho.
Just make sure the door is latched closed. If you want the door open be sure
it's all the way open and secured with the cotter pin. This goes for all Huey
doors, except on the "A" model, which can't be secured in the open position.

AIRBORNE SMOKE SCREEN

The XM52 smoke-generating subsystem used on the Huey (UH-1D)
needs a strainer in its fog-oil filling-line assembly. And, it needs it now.
The strainer will catch any scum that may form in the fog-oil drum.
Without the strainer the scummy stuff will get fed into the system and
it'll cause wear and damage in the pump and motor assembly.
The strainer (Part- No. U6697) is for free from your general support
outfit.
To install it you just remove the bulkhead quick-disconnect fitting from
the dip tube assembly, clean the dip tube and hose assemblies, insert the
strainer into the flared end of the dip tube and then replace the fitting on
the tube.
Then you can check the filling-line assembly at every filling and clean
it as needed with solvent.

reading on your ML-102() barometer, be sure you take that reading outside your
shelter.
Thing is, ML-102 barometric pressure readings taken inside your AN/TSQ-
70A aircraft control central, or AN/TSQ-72 landing control central, can be
wrong because of the pressure-temperature differential between the inside and
outside of the shelter.
So when it comes to barometric pressure readings ... take 'em outside!

ON YOUR H-189/GR HEADSET...
THOSE SHAKY,

SHAKY PINS

The contact pins in your H-189/GR headset usually do what's expected-
make contact.
But slippage of the 2 pins in the earphone element-and microphone ele-
ment, too-can often cause a short with the metal shield covering the elements.
That, o' course, can knock out your element.
Trouble is, the contact pins aren't any too secure in their plastic mold, so-o-o-o,
rough handling' or incorrect installation in the headset can shake 'em up.
Then the pins can slip and come into contact with the metal shield on the
element.
Here's what you can do for a temporary fix:

USE EPOXY
PASTE TO
HOLD PINS
TIGHT

Use a fast-drying epoxy paste as a filler around the contact pins to hold 'em
tighter.
This'll cut down chances of a short caused by the pins touching the metal
shield.
To request the epoxy paste, use FSN 8040-847-6387, as listed on Pages 88-
89 of Fed Cat C8000-IL-A (Jan 68).
Nix on trying to repair failed elements. These should be discarded, and only
working elements should be given the epoxy treatment.

TOGETHER AND

NOV, BOTH IN
THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION
OF THE ERROR!

You say you try to adjust the antenna tune and antenna load for your AN/
GRC-106 radio set like the chart says. But you just can't get the meter pointers
to center at the same time?
Before you send the set back to your support unit, give this deal a whirl:
Turn both knobs together in the opposite direction of the indicator error ... and
do the twisting real slow. It's almost a sure thing that the pointers will center
when you do your adjusting this way.

REEL TROUBLE-THAT'S WHAT

Those wooden reels holding' your multipair cables don't bear up any too well
in tropical climes.
Prolonged outside storage of the reels ... plus the climate .. plus rough han-
dling-all this'll weaken and break 'em.
But you can extend their usefulness by extra-careful handling.
Metal reels do better. They don't break and they can be re-used.
You do have to watch for corrosion on those big metal spools, though.
If your metal jobs have rusted and need emergency attention you can hit the
rust spots with some semi-gloss paint (MIL-P-13596): _
5-gal pail, FSN 8010-584-3157
u55-galdrum, FSN 8010-584-3158 C

Both are olive drab, and the color number is X24087. One caution: the paint
is not effective over spongy or scale-type rust, so do a little PM on the reel surface
before applying the pretty stuff.

ON YOUR AN/PPS-5 I L
RADAR SET ... J,

THERE'S NO
CONNECTION!

If you're coming' up with bent or broken pins in the
connector plugs of your Pipsy-5 CX-8666 cable
assembly, it might be high time to take a good look
at the situation also the pins.
Y'see, there's no guarantee of an exact matchin'-up
of the connector plugs before contact so you've gotta
be gentle and careful all the way.
If you cock your connector plugs during the
matching, you can bend or break the pins.
Or there can be damage when you forget and re-
verse the cable-and end up trying male to male
mating.
Take pains to line up the male plug to the
receiver-transmitter unit and the female plug to the
control-indicator unit.

You're missing a real good thing if you're
not tuned-in to the DX (Direct Exchange) sec-
) tion that supports your outfit.

The DX s stem is authorized by AR 711-16 (para 14-8), the bible for your sup-
ply support outfit Its stocks normally include the repair parts and assemblies
that're coded R (recoverable. repairable) in your maintenance supply manuals-
plus any other fas-.moving, high-density items that can be repaired by your main-
tenance support outfit.

MM ... 5UPPC
----91-~-TA-W ri3l A I T^ FOR

To let you know what items you can swap, the
DX section puts out a DX list. The list is up-
dated quarterly, or so, and it's up to you to keep
the current list handy. The list provides FSN,
item description info, etc.
To trade with DX all you do is fill in a DA Form 2 102.
SExchange Tag, for the unserviceable item, attach the tag
S to the item and deliver the works to DX. (The section is
,- ''-"- normally located close to, or part of, your maintenance
i 1 support outfit.)
TM 38-750 (May 67), para 3-2, gives the scoop on
| filling DA Form 2402.
S- The DX-types see to it that the unserviceable stuff you
bring in gets repaired and back on the DX shelves quick-
S like ... so it'll be ready and waiting next time you need
a replacement.
Your big job in the DX business is handling the un-
serviceable items with a fair measure of respect. That is,
making out the 2402's correctly, and packing, wrapping,
boxing or loading the unserviceable, repairable items so
._ they'll arrive safely at DX.
The better you treat your unserviceables, the quicker
(and cheaper) the maintenance-types can get the items
back on the DX shelves.

KEEPING TABS ON DX ITEMS
You needn't record DX swaps on your repair parts document
register. Just note 'em on your record of demands card (DA Form
3318). DX items may be authorized for PLL stockage when they
collect the required demand info.
When a DX item is out of stock you'll get a due-out claim check for
your unserviceable item (usually section 4 of DA Form 2402), and A ,
you'll get buzzed as soon's DX can rustle up a replacement for you.
And, incidentally, handling unserviceable items with care-so
they'll be easier to fix up-is one way to help stomp out due-out
delays.

INTERCHANGEABILITY SCOOP

Dear Half-Mast,
Change I (May 68), AR 735-35, para 6-4e(1)(e)2, calls for interchangeability data
on PLL items. Does that mean the FSN and description of any other repair part that can re-
place the item recorded on the title insert?

Dear SSG O. J.,
Not just any other repair part.
A part's interchangeability info must come from a supply manual, or what-
ever publication authorizes the part recorded on the card.
Interchangeability of parts is decided by the people responsible for mainte-
nance and supply procedures for the equipment concerned not by the
equipment users.
In older supply pubs the optional item is listed along with the preferred
item. But, the newer repair parts and special tools lists (RP&STL's) list only the
preferred item.

LARC V FUEL FILTERS
Water, water everywhere, including in the fuel filters of
your LARC V. If you're in that warm, wet, and woozy climate
where you have water in your LARC whether you're in the
water or on land, then you have to drain those fuel filters
often.
When you take those fuel filter drain plugs out and put
them back so often, there's a chance you'll damage the threads
and filters.
To make those fuel filters easier to drain, remove the pres-
ent drain plugs, and use brass drain cocks, FSN 4820-275-

The standard filter elements you use in your filter
separators have a 5-micron filter that'll filter particles
5 microns and larger in size. To give you an idea of the
size of a micron, a human hair is 100 microns in diameter.
So, if you have a filter separator, you'll want to make
sure you get the standard filter element, FSN 4330-983-
0998, that meets Specification MIL-F-52308 (ME). That
means it must come through your regular Army supply
channels and not direct from the manufacturer.
You know what can happen to your equipment when
it gets dirty fuel. Never take that chance, make sure you
get the right filter.

FOR SUPPLY AND

Could be you've missed 'em ... the 37 DA pamphlets in the 350-series. They
cover maintenance on the gear you work with. And, several cover unit supply.
You can find 'em listed in Ch 2 (Aug 68) to DA Pamphlet 310-1.
You can get training aids for a few of these pamphlets from your audio-visual
