THIRSTY BATTERY
Your battery comes with a mixture of acid and water. This mixture is
called electrolyte. In use, you have to add water to bring the electrolyte up
to the right level.
How often do you check your battery's electrolyte level? At least once a
week-maybe even every day when you're operation' a lot in hot weather.
Low electrolyte may be a sign of bad
trouble in your electrical system. If
you're running' ragged rr in' to keep the
electrol rte level up. the trouble ma. be
overcharging. This can kill sour bar-
rerN too. Your mechanic will check to

ABOUT FACE
D'you remember when the word was "under the
nut-not under the head"? Not so anymore. Your
cable terminal goes under the head end of the battery
(ABLE clamp bolt. This'll keep it from loosening up so easy.
SUDER Always put your positive cables on first-the
HEAD ground cable last. This's so you won't have sparks
jumpin' all over the place.
Use your 2 small wrenches for tightening battery clamp bolts 'n' nuts. Never
use that big crescent wrench that's in your vehicle OEM; it's almost sure to slip
off and bust your battery top.
Hold the head end of the bolt with
one wrench and turn the nut down with
the other. A little at a time, though.
Take ahold of the cable near the ter-
minal with your thumb on top and your
pointer finger wrapped around. Try to
move the cable by lifting and then press-
ing down. Tighten the clamp bolt 'n'
nut some more if she moves. When you
get 'er tight enough so she won't budge,
give 'er about another 1/4-to-1/2 turn
-then stop, that's enough.

After all that messin' around, check
your clamp-to-post hookup. Take ahold
with your thumb and 2 fingers. Try to
twist the clamp on the post. If she
moves, give 'er the same as you did on
the cable-to-clamp- tighten, check 'n'
tighten. An extra 1/4-to-1/2 turn after
she's snug.

TIP:
When you want to disconnect
your batteries from the electrical
system but don't want to take the
batteries out of your vehicle, just
take the cable terminal off the
clamp not the clamp off the
battery post.)

5 But, instead, he studies the plug a minute
(he knows it's a lube point--his LO pin-

watching' and then decides :"T'heck with it.
Won't hurt to skip it this once. Someone
else'll get it next time."
That doesn't make much sense either,

he got to 1. take out a plug, 2 put in a

AIR INTAKE
ELBOW...

WHERE'S "NORMAL"?

Dear Half-Mast,
Lost: I raincoat, left hanging on right outside mirror of 5-ton multifuel rruck ineor
intake of fender-mounted air filter).
Found: Shredded remains of I raincoat, inside air filter.
So we remembered your tip in PS 165 about turning the air filter elbow in so Io
points to where the fender and side panel come together. Then that ter'diic sucton
won't pull in leaves, twigs, hats or wigs-or raincoats.
But things get sticky when an inspector comes along and sees "NORMAl on ihe
filter can where the elbow used to point. .i i
So where's normal? r

Dear Specialist L. D. S.,
No sweat. That PS 165 piece said to
loosen the filter cover clamps and then
turn the cover and elbow as one piece
so the elbow points in and down.
If that "NORMAL" is giving you
trouble, just loosen the 2 bands around
the filter can, loosen the bands on the
filter outlet pipe and turn the can 'n'
all so the elbow points where you want
it-and "NORMAL" goes right along
with it. And remember to tighten those
bands back again. .,.2 .

AIR FILTER GASKET...
R LR DUE FOR GLUE?

er ball that ilter cartridge tFSN 2940-974-9669) in the fender-
mounted air cleaner on your G744-scries 5-ion multifuel or diesel truck. You
may have the kind with a gasket on each end. A loose gasket means a bum seal.
Glue it back on.
First. though, clean off the old glue ith trichloroethylene FSN 6810-678-
4418, I gal. in Fed Cat C6800-1L (Jul 67). Clean the groove in the cartridge
too. Let 'em dry.
Then give 'em both a shot of adhesive-FSN 8040-515-2250, 1-qt, in Fed
Cat C8000-IL-A-CB1 (Apr 68) -a thin coat on the parts that're to come
together. Let 'em dry for about 10 minutes. \
7j Put the gasket back on real careful. "

5-TON THROTTLE CABLE

For multifuel engine G744-series 5-ton trucks, you get Control Assy, push-

_HERE'S A BOUQUET OF
TROUBLE-SHOOTINGS IDEAS )-O
FOR EASY-TO-MISS SPOTS.. ,
ON THE M108
Valve Cap Insert-Be sure you check this nylon plug
every time you remove the valve assembly for clean-
ing (meaning after every day's firing or monthly
Sif your M108's on R&R, like the LO says). If the
insert's brittle-hard, or dried out or worn, replace
. it pronto. Matter of fact, it's a good idea to replace
it, anyway, after the cap's been removed about 20
times. FSN 1025-821-2421 fetches the plug. Keep a
couple extra handy at all times.
This insert acts as the locking device for the valve
cap. If it's shot, likely you won't be able to seat the
valve and cap snug in the evacuator chamber.
Incidentally, it's also a
good idea for you crew
members to check a couple
times a day during firing .
to see that the valve cap's
/f tight. If it's not, just snug
up that hexhead.Don't over-
tighten it.

YPESJ -CA gether with 41/1000-in wire. /

Breech Operating Handle Pin -If you have trouble "
locking the breech operating handle because this pin
gets damaged or loose and the plunger and stop get
banged up, could be the wrong pin's in there and
it's too small. Get support to replace the 1-1/4-in
pin, FSN 5315-058-6089, with a 1-3/4-in pin, FSN 1- I0tn PIN
5315-850-5754 (like the other spring pin in the FiN 5315 850 5754
handle assembly). This'll solve it.
Breechblock Operating Crank Bracket Screws -These 4
screws coming loose and getting sheared off? Sorry
'bout that! Get your support people to replace these
screws with 4 bolts (FSN 5306-879-6240 P/N
11577991) to hold the operating shaft bracket.
S Support'll also use sealing compound (Grade C per
MIL-S-22-4"3 on the threads and torque the bolts
it to 125 ft-Ibs when ihe install 'em.

ON THE M109

Evacuator Key-Same deal goes for the
M109 as for the M108 about checking
the key and the retaining screen fre-
quently for looseness. If the Ml' 09s
keeps getting loose, get your mechanic
busy with his drill boring 1/16-in
holes in the key and in the head of
the retaining screw. Then wire 'em to-
gether, using the same 41/1000 safety
wire.

PAN-TEL PROTECTOR
^n

Hey, Gunner, make sure the panoramic telescope on your M102 105-MM
towed howitzer is covered every time you're not using the scope especially
when the rig's being airlifted.
Those lenses are the eyeballs of your scope and they're pretty darned delicate.
Sand and gravel whipped up by the rotor blades will pit the heck out of 'em.
Use the plastic-type cover (FSN 1240-066-4992) or the new canvas-type (FSN
1240-937-8287).

Speaking of covers, if you use the plastic-
type, remember to do something about the con-
densation that's bound to form. Like, remove
the cover every day, dry it out, wipe the lens
and scope dry and then put the cover back on.
The new canvas cover breathes a little better
than the plastic ones, but play it safe and keep
an eye peeled for condensation anyway.

M60/M48A3 TANK TOPICS

If you have an AVDS-2 or AVDS-
2A engine in your vehicle (M60-series
tanks, M48A3, M728 CEV, etc.) listen
up because this may save you some
grief.
The fuel injector pump housing can
get beat up because the injector line
bracket screws vibrate loose and en-
large their holes in the pump housing.
Ask your talented company mechanic
to check out bracket 10865316, when-
ever the oil cooler fans are removed.
The 2 screws holding the bracket to
the pump housing should have split
lockwashers FSN 5310-637-9547. They

are listed in Fed Cat C5310-IL-A, Vol 3
(Sep 66) on page 611.
They are not interchangeable with
the other 8 screws on the pump housing
because they mount both the bracket
and the housing so they have to be
1/4 inch longer.
They are listed on page 21 of TM
9-2815-200-35P (Nov 62) in case you
have to ask your support to get some
for you. FSN 5305-721-5488 is the
number, and they are 1-1/8 inch long.
Your company mechanic will put on
the lockwashers and then use torque
wrench FSN 5120-221-7947 from the
special tools set t6 give all 10 of the
screws holding the housing 50 to 60
lbs-in torque.
If loose bracket screws have already
ruined the housing, ask your support
for help.
Likewise, whenever the cooler fans
are pulled, call your company mechanic
to torque the screws on the pump
housing.

HAZARDS

\ i,

Like all you young bucks know, get-
ting a handhold on the wrong girl can
be mighty hazardous. The same is true
if you get a handhold on the wrong
part of a tank.
The front and rear interrupters on
your M48A3 tanks deflect the barrel of
the .50 caliber machine gun so you
won't shoot out your searchlight in
stowed or mounted position.

can bend or break them and maybe hurt
yourself.
The same thing goes for the adjust-
ment arm linkage sight between the
periscope and the machine gun on

FRONT INTERRUPTER

If you have an M48A3 tank be sure
your support has the rear interrupter
positioned according to Ch 1 (Oct 66)
to MWO 9-2350-224-30/1 (Jul 66).
If you use the interrupters as hand-
holds to climb around on the tank you

M48A3 tanks and on M60-series tanks
with M28C periscopes. It will bend or
break if you use it as a handhold to
climb in or out of the commander's
cupola, and you are likely to damage
that other valuable government prop-
erty -yourself.
So save your handholding for the
girls, and both you and your tank will
stay healthier.

BEWARE: HEX MAKERS!

Ugh! Word's around that some guys have been dipping the lower receiver in
SD dry-cleaning solvent, trying for a shortcut in cleaning. Other guys have
been using gasoline, diesel fuel, mosquito repellent and such-like to cut the
carbon. THIS'LL DO pi
Nix on these! No good! THE TRICK!
First, CR bore cleaner (FSN 6850- ---
224-6656 ... 2-oz bottle) is all you zap-
men'd better use. It's built to cut carbon
and gook, sure-nuff ... and without de-

Remember: Best way to keep a clean, jam-less rifle is not to let the gook in.

When you're playing peek-a-boo in the boonies with Cong it's easy to get
a snoot full of junk in the oil cooler turbo blower of your Huey.
Even the sharpest eye can miss sand and grass hiding under the oil cooler
engine turbine fan, P/N 204-060-448-3, when you pull a PMD, PMI, PMP
look-see.
So-o-o-o, Knucklebusters, here are a couple of ways to tell if extra stuff is
a-roosting under the wire assembly, P/N 204-060-592-1.

Hand spin the fan to see if it's goose- 2. With the blower operating put your hand
loose, drum-tight, or cob-rough. Anything on the wire screen. If your arm feels like
suspicious, and you yell for support. it's getting a massage, trouble is afoot.

Al

O-level maintenance types leave the inside of the blower alone, but nothing
says you can't call support if you're not happy with what you feel or find.
If your MO OK's the hand-on-the-wire check keep a close watch on young
mechanics. A bloody stub zaps many a budding wrenchbender PDQ.
Need a PM reminder to check the oil blower? Replacing a binding turbo
blower in Congland ain't healthy a-tall!

Haste makes waste if you reach for JP-4 to clean aircraft neoprene parts-
like bearing seals. The neoprene seals will dry out and give you leaks. Fuels
should never be used for cleaning purposes. You'll find a complete list of
approved cleaning materials in Table 1, Chap 1 of TM 55-405-3 (12 Jul 66).

A HANDFUL OF PM...
WE LIKES THESE DIKES!

Dear Editor,
Snipping off ends of safety wires with
diagonal pliers is maintenance SOP. But
wire ends drop into cylinders, drive shafts,
moving parts, transmissions ... then trou-
ble's brewing.
We've come up with a fix that has cut
down on electrical shorts and machine
failures caused by clipped wire ends.
We used a blob of fuel-tank sealing
compound, MIL-S-8802, FSN 8030-845-
3347 and shaped it to fit the jaws of our
dikes. The compound never gets concrete
hard, but remains soft enough to hold the
snipped wire ends. After molding the mix
to the dikes, close the jaws on a piece of
thin plastic until the compound sets-
about 12 hours. For a faster dry/set/use
cycle add more accelerator to the mixture.

Back by popular demand-another top-to-bottom ... outside-to-inside look
at your AN/GRC-46() radio teletypewriter set.
This close eyeballing of, and listening to your Angry 46 is the sort of con-
tinuous PM that'll help you spot troubles--big and little. As you give your gear
the once-over, remember that you're not replacing normal checks and services
you're just adding to them.
Another thing ... what you'll be reading covers the different models of the
Angry 46. So when you come across things like shelter steps .. and your model
shelter doesn't have steps, don't sweat it.
Also ... naturally you'll be on the lookout for dirt, dust, unwanted grease
and oil and rust. And in places where you want to look real dose for the stuff,
it'll be spelled out loud and clear in the pages that follow.

You can stop scribbling changes in your AR 735-35. The latest PLL (Pre-
scribed Load List) scoop is neatly packaged for you in Change 1 (dated
14May68), to the AR. The change implements DA TWX 822620 (Jul 67),
provides new info and expands on previous instructions. Like for example:

New PLL Review Period. You now review record of demand cards
quarterly (90 days). That's right, no more monthly reviews. And, when
you're authorized to revise your allowance, based on demand experience,
you count the demands you've had for an item for the last 2 review
periods (180 days).
You review all your cards quarterly, and whether you're authorized
to revise your allowance or not, you draw a line after the last entry for
the quarter.

3 MAC Supply. When the MAC (Maintenance Allocation Chart) says
your outfit is responsible for replacing an item, and the item isn't listed
in the parts manual, you note both the parts manual and the maintenance
manual info in block 0 of DA Form 2765 when you request the item.

4 PLL UND. When stocks of PLL items or on-board spares are at zero
balance you're to use UND (urgency of need designator) B for your IPD
(Issue priority designator) on your request. The AR's new info on supply
priority codes is covered in its Appendix II. Also see AR 735-35-1 (Dec
67) for a handy, pocket size chart on codes.

-MS (Minimum Stockage). This code identifies TM items you must
stock based on equipment density.
-DS (Demand Supported). This one continues to call out the fringe
items-the "as required" items, plus the TM items which you can't
stock because your equipment density is too low. In other words, DS
identifies items you stock only after you collect demand info on 'em.
-HD (High Dollar). PLL items costing $200 or more, and recover-

Initial Allowances. Once you establish your initial allowances for MS and
DS items, the quantities become your minimum allowances for those items.
And, your initial allowances are static for the first 2 review periods. During
that spell you neither raise nor lower your allowances.
At the third quarterly review, however, you can use the demand info
for the last 2 review periods (180 days) to adjust your allowance. But, and
watch this closely... your initial allowances remain your minimum
stocks for 4 review periods.

After the first 2 review periods you can increase your allowances as
much as called for by demand records, and you can lower 'em- but,
you can't go below your initial allowance until after an item has been'on
your PLL for 4 review periods.
Furthermore, with MS items (even after 4 review periods) your local
supply SOP needs a major commander's OK before you can cut stocks
below your initial allowances.
With DS items, tho, you don't need a special OK. If demand info
allows it, the AR says you can go below your initial allowance after
you've had an item for 4 review periods.

Revising Allowances. Once you're authorized to revise allowances you

with a pending routine request.
The CO's report also tells how long
he expects the restriction to last.
Replies to reports-from up the
ladder-will help the CO to get
out of the bind.

Reconciliation Request

This means supply support takes a
reading of your requests that've
been due-in for over 30 days. Then
they send you a list (or cards)
covering the status of all your
due-in's.
You review the reconciliation
request and tell support what due-
in's you still need, and which ones
you're canceling. And you tell sup-
port to cancel any due-in's that are
listed on the request, but no longer
current on your records.
And, you also ask them to pick

up any due-in's that are in your
suspense files, but not listed on the
reconciliation request. With those
instructions tho, you'll have to pro-
vide a duplicate of your original
request, with the document inden-
tifier code AP1 in block D, and
advice code 2P in block 22.
Instead of providing a list or
cards, the support types may just
ask to match your suspense files
with theirs. But, whichever way it's
done, they'll give you the details on
handling your end of the due-in
up-dating operation.

And, that about rounds up the new PLL poop... keep it in mind 'cause
you should have the AR Change about now.

For one, remember that your PLL is normally set up to provide only 15 days
of supply, and your authorized stocks must be on hand or on order at all times.
Your initial allowances, based on equipment density, are listed in your equip-
ment TM's. The minimum stockage (MS) items show an allowance either in
round numbers, or in terms of a factor for 100 pieces of equipment.
Items that you can have for immediate use only are listed with an asterisk (*).
And, with demand experience, of course, those items become demand supported
(DS) items.
To put a proper PLL together you need the supply publications for all the
equipment your PLL supports. You find the supply publications listed in DA Pam
310-4 (the index to TM's, SM's, TB's, SB's, etc.) and in DA Pam 310-6 (index
to supply catalogs and supply manuals).

PLL Make-up
You need DA Form 2063-R to list the items you're authorized to stock.
The form is set up in FSN sequence, and can be typed or made out in pen
or pencil.
Using your supply pubs you first make up a separate DA Form 2063-R for
each different type of equipment you're concerned with. And those lists are your
PLL worksheets. For tank-auto equipment, of course, you use TM 9-2300-223-
20P, the consolidated list of repair parts, as your worksheet.
From the info in the separate worksheets and the TM you compile a single
consolidated PLL on a fresh DA Form 2063-R.

After you make up your consolidated PLL you can toss out the separate work-
sheets. Or, you can keep 'em for awhile, if you find 'em useful... or, of course,
if local PLL SOP says to keep 'em. The TM you keep, natch. It's not only a DA
pub; it's a fountain of supply info and can also be used over and over as a
worksheet to revise tank-auto PLL allowances.
And, you make out a consolidated PLL in the number of copies
needed to satisfy your outfit and your supply support.

Checking Allowances
With manuals that quote 15-day allowances in round numbers and use
equipment density columns, you've got it made. To find your MS allowance
you simply check the column that covers your equipment density.

And, all you do to find your initial allowance for a DS item is check the

At the time you request your initial allowance on a DS item, you notify
support that the item has qualified for your PLL. You can use DA Form
2063-R to send PLL changes to support, or you can use a DF (DA Form 2496),
or whatever type of written message is most convenient for your SOP and
support.

The Fringe File
You keep fringe item cards in FSN sequence, review 'em quarterly and toss
out any cards that have had no demands within 2 current review periods.
Any suitable box, drawer or file folder that'll keep the cards orderly will do
for this file.

Pencil-Work TM's
In manuals that list allowances in terms of a factor for 100 pieces of equip-
ment, you have to use the pub's formula and do a little pencil work to find your
15-day allowances for MS items. You'll find the formula illustrated in the AR's
para 6-5, and also in the TM's, but briefly, you work it like this-
Multiply the quantity of equipment you have (that uses the part), times the
factor listed in the TM. Then divide that figure by 100, and the answer you
come up with is your 15-day allowance.

EQUIPMENT THAT
USES PART TM

When the formula allows you .5 for your equipment density, you're auto-

ance is 2, when the formula answer ranges from .5 through 2.4.

An&, so on...............

If the complete answer comes out under .5, you're not authorized to stock the
item, but you can order it as needed. And,once you have a demand for the item
you set up a record of demand card for it in your fringe item file. And, then you
can get the item on your PLL by using the same fringe item routine that you
use for getting "as required" items into your stocks.

WHO The CO responsible for the prescribed load is the
CHANGEP approving authority for the PLL. And, a PLL is
MY PLL 2 due at supply support within 3 days after it's been
approved.
The support types review your consolidated PLL
when they receive it, and they're authorized to cor-
rect FSN's, nomenclature, etc., delete items that
are used at higher maintenance levels only, and
otherwise help to polish up your PLL.

SEPARATE OUTFITS GET SEPARATE PLL Stocks & Records
RECORDS AND LOADS
PLL stocks and records belong where the men,
tools and maintenance equipment are authorized for
organizational chores. And, when separate units in
an outfit are authorized to do their own organiza-
tional maintenance, their separate PLL's and records
may be centrally located-for all around conven-
ience, economy, etc., but the PLL stocks and records

Suspense Files
You need 2 due-in suspense files. A
temporary file for the DA Form 2765's
support returns to you with due-in info.
In this file you keep the cards by your
organization document number.
When due-in items come in you correct the due-in notes in your document
register and in the record of demand cards, and toss out the due-in cards in your
suspense file.
Your No. 2 due-in suspense file holds copies of your requests which support
converts to MILSTRIP requisitions (AR 725-50).
That means support has sent your request further on up the supply line, and
from there on your request will be handled by support's requisition number.
You file these cards by support's requisition number.
If a request that goes MILSTRIP has any previous due-in cards in your tem-
porary file, you'll have to toss out the old cards, and add support's requisition
number to your document register info.

When you receive supply status cards on a request-that is, new DA Form
2765's with specific supply info on a due-in request-you file the latest card
in front of any other cards you may have on the request.
Supply status cards bring you all kinds of important info on your due-in
requests, but the info is mostly in code so you have to be real hep on status
code talk. All the code info you'll be concerned with, of course, is laid out for
you in Appendix I and IV of AR 735-35 and in your local supply SOP.
And, when you want to initiate follow-up or cancellation action on a request
you use the latest due-in card you have on the request.
Your suspense files are also very important when it comes to reviewing sup-
port's reconciliation requests. (See page 55).

When all the due-in items are received on a request, you complete the info
in the document register and the record of demand card and destroy the cards
in the suspense file.

Vessel PLL's

PLL's for each different type vessel
are set up and maintained by the vessel
supply officer. And, the initial PLL
allowances are as authorized by the
equipment manuals.
The on-board spares are listed on the
PLL's, but the items are identified, as
such, on the list. And, on-board spares
are supposed to be stored aboard the
respective vessels.

V134 Gnmwen,
eed 74ia/
On your toes there, you M134 Minnie
Gun 45J's. Make positive you've got the
right plunger and spring in the right
clearing solenoid (FSN 5945-922-8056)
in your subsystem's feeder/delinker.
The Lisk solenoid has a .748-in diameter
plunger, while the Electroid company's
has a .779-in diameter. If you goof and
put the smaller one in the bigger hole,
there'll be room for sand and dirt to
tip, bind and freeze the plunger in the
solenoid case. Result: The gun might not
clear and somebody'll get hurt!
Keep this in mind: One solenoid'll
operate as well as the other when used
as a complete assembly, BUT the parts
of one won't-repeat WON'T-work
with the other.
