THAT MULTIFUEL .
A REAL JEWEL-
Notes
on the
M35A1
Your MN5A1 21i-ton
truck Imulifuilc is a lot
of truck for the buck.
She'll take sou there
and bring you back % ith-
out much ado about neath-
er or terrain. She can go
with gas or deliver with
diesel.
There're lots of nice fea-
tures about the MN15Al
such as eas) operator main-
tenance. plenty of cargo
space. eas) winter start-
ing. ec.. etc. But let's look
'er o rer poini-b -point....

LkiLE QO..,
LIKE TWINS... BUT-
From far off the M35A1
looks a lot like an M35, but
you can tell 'em apart be-
cause the M35A1 has an air
intake rain hood sticking
out the right side of the
engine.
FIRST GEAR-
On the M35A1 you al-
ways but always move
out in the first gear. On other
trucks you can sometimes get
away with moving forward
in second but don't try it
on the M35A1 because you
could cause power train
trouble.
CLUTCH-
The clutch is plenty strong
enough to do what it's sup-
posed to do but it won't
take much "riding." If you
ride the clutch you can burn
up the clutch disk, and the
pressure plate can heat up
and crack. This'll cost you
over $50 to repair, so keep
your foot off the clutch,
Dutch. Be sure the clutch
pedal doesn't ride the floor
board. If it does, notify your
unit mechanic.

SHIFT PATTERN-
The shift patterns of the
M35 and M35A1 are the
same except for 4th and 5th
gears which are the opposite.
Page 2" of TM 9-2320-235-10
(Dec 611 tells )ou not to operate
the manifold heater unless the en-
gine is being cranked or is idling.
This is for serious. If iou operate
the manifold heater with the en-
gine going at a high RPIM Nou can
blow out the turbosupercharger
seal. If this happens, engine oil
gets sucked up from the crankcase
through the turbocharger and into
the combustion chamber. With this
extra fuel coming in, the engine
runs wild... maybe big damage.
Also, never use the heater over
long periods. The best method is
to use the heater intermittently
during cranking or idling, other-
wise all the oxygen in the manifold
will be burned out and the engine
won't start.

,,or snitch goes OFF before .ou

If your first-stage fuel filter is
OK you don't need to check the
second-stage filter.
Be sure you have the right kind
of filter elements. The wrong kind
could do serious damage to the
injection pump, which would re-
duce engine life and cut down on
engine performance. Use only fuel-
filter element kit FSN 2910-710-
9267.

HYDROSTATIC LOCK-
A common cause of hydrostatic
lock is forgetting to turn the acces-
sory switch OFF after you stop the
engine. If the accessory switch is
ON for a long time, you'll have a
hydrostatic lock.
So-o-o-o, be sure you turn the
accessory switch OFF when you
shut down the engine.
If you have hydrostatic lock and
try to start without taking any pre-
cautions you can cause a lot of
damage to your engine or even
ruin it entirely.
Be sure to crank the engine first
with the ENG STOP handle pulled
entirely out like it says on page 25
of TM 9.2520-235-10 iDec 61l.
KWN
FUEL FILTERS-
You've got to check your fuel
filters every day. This is as impor-
tant as checking the oil level. Be-
fore you start your check, turn
your accessory switch
ON. This puts pres-
sure on the fuel system
and makes it easier to check the
filters. Draw off about a pint of
liquid into a clean can. (Be sure to
turn the accessory switch OFF after
you get your pint.)
After you draw off
the fuel see if there's
any water or gook
with it.
Remember, Change 1 (May 62)
to TM 9-2320-235-10 gives you
more to do. You check the first-
and second-stage filters and also
the third-stage filter if necessary.
If you find a lot of water or gook
in the third stage tell your me-
chanic.

SELF-STARTING-
This vehicle can start off all by
itself. This has happened. A parked
M35A1 with the engine turned off
but the transmission in gear and
the hand brake not set was acci-
dentally nudged by another truck.
It started off by itself and kept go-
ing until it wrecked itself against
a utility pole.
}
VIBRATION-
You get a lot of vibration n ith
the M35A1. That's why the head.
light bulbs burn out oftener than 4
on most other trucks. One thing
you can do to help is keep the
vehicle from operating at a loI
idle for longer than absolutely s
necessary. Keep your idle speed be-
tween 650-700 RPM to cut down n
on vibration.
To keep this from happening to
you, any time you're stopped with
your engine off, leave her parked
with the shift lever in neutral and
with the hand brake set.

NEW DIPSTICK -
Late production M35Al's have a new dip stick with revised markings ".
which provide for additional oil capacity and two-quart increment marks
to help you estimate how much to add. The new dip stick has the same
number as the old stick (Part No. 10912158, FSN 6680-887-1334).
Before starting the engine, make sure the oil level is above the full mark
Add oil to bring it up to this mark if necessary. You then start the engine
and after the oil pressure's up, shut off the engine and wait for one minute
(count to 60 slowly) before making the oil-level check.

HOSE CLAMPS- KEEP EM TIGHT
Because of the engine vibration
the coolant hose-clamps can work
loose. Check 'em often, particularly)
in winter, and keep 'em tight. The
air induction hose-clamps also need
frequent checking.
TOW STARTS-
Tow starting works OK with the M35A1. if iou do it the way it says
on page 29 of TM 9-2320-235-10 (Dec 61). Often a towed vehicle will kick
right off after'you tow it no more than 10 feet. .
AIR CLEANER-
On other trucks you're probably
used to running the engine with
the air cleaner off for short periods
during servicing. The M35A1 su-
percharger makes such a powerful
air flow that the supercharger in.
take pipe has been know n to suck
up tech manuals sitting on the
fender. KEEP ON WHILE ENGINES RUNNING
Of course. TM's are wonderful but they're a little hard to read if the
supercharger grinds them into hamburger .. so don't run the engine with
the air ckaner off. You're also Itkels to suck dirt into the engine which
can ruin it.
PRESS TO BLEED
WINDSHIELD WIPER -4/
) You may wonder what the but-
ton is for on your windshield wiper
motor. You press it to bleed the
air pressure in the wiper motor so
that you can position the wiper
blade out of your line of vision.
)With the air pressure bled off, the
blade will stay put and won't creep
back across the windshield.
There've been some changes in the fuels recommended for the M35A1.
The latest poop is in LO 9-2320-235-12 (Nov 63):
Grade DF2 Fuel (Spec VV-F-800)--not to be used below +32F. /
Grade DFI Fuel (Spec VV-F-800)--not for use below 10 F
Grade DFA Fuel (Spec VV-F-800)-all temperatures.
Gasoline (MIL-G-3056)-all temperatures. -
CIE fuel (MIL-F-46005)-all temperatures.
Aviation gas is OUT. You NEVER use it.
In ser icing the air cleaner. sou
first inspect the seals on both ends
of the element for cracks, narps
and signs that dirt is passing into
the engine. If the seals look like
they're in good shape, then clean
the element. Use an air gun if you
can. Never strike the air-cleaner
element on its lip because this can
damage the lip seal. A damaged lip
seal can let dirt leak in and ruin
the engine.
SIf you can't use compressed air,
hold the element vertically and
gently pat the sides. Don't beat it
to death. Before you assemble it
again, clean the air-cleaner base
and canister with a rag. When you
put the element back in, take spe-
cial pains to get it seated right on
the upper and lower seals.
9
I
If you have trouble clamping the canister to the base assembly, check to
be sure the element is seated right. Otherwise, you could seriously damage
the element. \11 I I
AM 1 -
Overcleanin the air cleaner and changing the element
1 when it's not necessary leads to damaging the seals. Most
trucks nov have an air-cleaner restriction gage on the dash-
boa rd.
I >oTA MIV&ET
.N MY AlW CLOANE-
Don't clean the air-cleaner until the red flag in the
gage is over half-way up. The mechanic can check if
the gage is working right by partly blocking the air-
cleaner inlet. This should make the flag rise in the gage.

is no longer on the vehicle. The
one you now have is a composition

BRAKE-SHOE RETURN SPRINGS-

BRAKE FLUID LINE -
The line from the master cylin-
der to the air-over-hydraulic unit
sometimes cracks at the master-
cylinder end. This is a steel line
and it splits along the seam. Check
this line for leaks every time you
get under the %ehiclt.
AIR LINE FIX-
There's only 1 / 16-in clearance between the main
air line from the air compressor and the upper radia-
tor brace. The twisting of the radiator when the
vehicle is in motion can rub the line against the brace
and cut it. This is a copper line and your best bet is
to twist it out of the way so it clears the brace by
about /2 inch. Use a line-bending tool so you can
bend the line without crimping it.
FILTER LINES-
The fuel-filter inlet and outlet
lines get rubbed by their holding
clamp and then they leak. To pre-
vent this, be sure you got enough
slack and position 'em so they don't
rub against sharp edges that would
damage them. Check them often
for chafing and rubbing.

RADIATOR MOUNTING-
With your vehicle on level ground the edge of your engine fan blades

OIL-FILTER DRAIN- PLUG-
You drain oil filters and replace the filter elements. The re-
cessed pipe-plug, FSN 4720-289-0591, (Item 18 on page 13 of
your -20P) is hard to get out because you have to work from the
bottom instead of the top like you do with most other mlita ry
vehicles. Late production vehicles have a new plug that you can
remove and install with the 7/16-in open-end wrench in the
general mechanics tool set.
b When you take out the old plug to service the oil filter during
normal maintenance, replace it with the new plug, FSN 4730- .
080-7044, (Part No. 444783). -

OIL FILTER-
Change the oil filters when you
drain the crankcase. You do this
semi-annually (or 6,000 miles).
NOW TUAT'
FUEL LINE-
The fuel line from the main tank
to the injector pump can wear out
in a hurry if you let it rub against
the winch drive-shaft. If you see
it's rubbing, put a clamp on it or
tape it to keep it out of the way.
DIFFERENTIAL DRAIN PLUGS-
SThe differential drain-plugs are hard to screw in and out. The
best wa.% is to stick in a close-fitting wrench the full depth of the
recess in the plug. Keep a 90 angle between the wrench handle
and the recess in the plug to keep the wrench from slipping and
J damaging the plug.

HOSE ASSEMBLY-
The hose assembly fuel-injector-overflow-and-return-line-to-fuel-filter inlet
(Part No. 7748985), Item 19 on page 13 -20P (Jan 62) rubs on the engine
block and wears out quickly. There's a new replacement ready for this
under FSN 2910-081-4211. With this you also need Tee, FSN 4730-088-8666;
Elbow, FSN 4730-851-0174; and Elbow, FSN 4730-851-0173. With these parts
you route the hose so it misses the engine block.

LEAF SPRING -
If your support has to order a No. 1 leaf for the rear spring assembly on your
M35A1 they're going to have some trouble if they order it from TM 9-2320-

Let's face it-the yellow glow of a
chip detector WARNING light in the
cockpit can give the pilot an extra mar-
gin of safety. That's why all birds are
being equipped with a simple type of
detector.
Take the Chickasaw (UH-19) hook-
up, for example. One end of the elec-
trically charged wire is hooked into the
front and rear oil sump magnetic plug,
and the other end into the warning
light on the instrument panel.
If a piece of magnetic metal is car-
ried by the flow of oil to the sump plug,
it'll be held there by the magnet in the "
plug.
At the same time that the chip hits
the magnet, the detector electrical cir- lIGHT

cult is closed and the light flashes on FLAS
in the cockpit.
/ 'Course this light isn't a signal fur
the pilot to hit the panic button. A nor-
mal landing is called for. Rotary wing
birds to the nearest open field-fixed
wing birds to the nearest airfield.
'Tis easy to figure the reason for a
normal landing. After all, the light
could be a false alarm, caused by a
short in the electrical circuit.
The detector could also be set off due
to ordinary engine wear. This comes
about over a period of time, as metal
particles build up on the magnetic plug.
When this fuzz forms a bridge from
the outer rim of the plug to the magnet,
on goes the light.
No matter what the reason for the
detector flashing on, however, the bird
has to get a going over by maintenance.
Cleaning the sump plug may be all
that's needed.
A more thorough check on the con-
dition of the engine can be made by
having the oil checked in a laboratory.
An oil sample will show by the amount
of metal molecules in the oil, whether
the engine's about to fold up.
The lab report, plus other poop such
as the total engine time listed on the
component record, DA Form 2408-16,
will give maintenance-types the info
needed to decide whether to keep the
engine running, or to pull 'er.
Thanks to the chip detector, air-types
now have a new weapon to fight the
never-ending battle against metal fa-
tigue.

Like the guy who doesn't know when to stop after he has his 106-mm rifle
loaded for travel on a 4-ton truck.
He follows all the poop in para 34b of TM 9-1000-205-12 (Mar 59), with
changes, right up to the point where he alines the rifle barrel with the travel-
ing lock and pushes down on the clamp locking handle.
That should do it... BUT he doesn't stop there. He gives the traversing or
elevating handwheel (or both) another nudge to make sure the rifle's good and
tight.
And, brother, that does it! The first bump the vehicle hits, wham! The plane-
tary elevating gear assembly takes a damaging jolt.

Dear Half-Mast,
Is there any one "best" way to protect an M67 recoilless rifle when trans-
porting it in a vehicle? The CO's livid 'cause our weapons sometimes wind up
a ride with broken lock rings, damaged hinge blocks, busted instrument lights
and telescopes, and so on.
Neither TM-9-1015-223-12 (Feb 62) nor TC 23-5 (2 May 62) is much help
on this.
Sgt C. S.
Dear Sergeant C. S.,gt C.
Y'r right, Sarge. About all the pubs do is to imply that the best way to get
a weapon from here to there is in good condition.
But, here're some tips you might find helpful, depending on how you plan
to transport your M67.
Natch, the best way to carry any man-transportable shoulder weapon on a ve-
hicle is for the gunner and loader to sit with it in their laps.
If one man's stuck with the chore, he can do it this way.
1. Remove the instru- 2. Attach the muzzle 3. Use a piece of cloth 4. Hold weapon sup-
ment light and tele- cover and breech cover to make a pad 8 inches ported between his
scope and put them in to the weapon. square by at least /2 legs, with breech end
their carrying cases. inch thick. Lay this on up, muzzle end rest-
the vehicle floor to ing on cloth cushion.
cushion your weapon.
S. For unattended transporting, either put the gun in
0 / its shipping container the way it came, or make a box
r'big enough to hold it safely. Either way, put the in-
r strument light and telescope in their cases and pad the
inside of the box with rags or paper.
Anyway you do it is right, Sarge, as long as the
weapon comes through in fighting condition.

You're not the type to piddle around

But, watch out for the guy with

Yeah, what, indeed! A kaput GCU,

That stick fits into a rubber boot.
The boot protects the electronic com-

WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER?
Most every piece of equipment in this man's Army has a serial number that's
used to keep track of it. That goes double for modified equipment like the MG
M2 tripod mount, which is converted to the MG M122 for mounting your M60
machine gun.
Some of the modification kits have an identification plate with the new serial
number right on it. No sweat. The plate gets tacked on to the head of the tripod.
But other kits have a conversion poop sheet with the new serial number
stamped on it. The old M2 number on the tripod gets scratched out and the new
one added, along with the other M122 info.
'Course if this new poop sheet gets lost, as some have, your field maintenance
support is going to have to come up with a number.
Does your M122 have its serial number? Well, if it doesn't, you'll want to
check with your support--soonest.

Dear Half-Mast,
How about unconfusing a situation?
Just how much oil do we put in the AG data converter in our Nike-Hercules
launcher section control indicator?
I read one thing in one place and another in another place.
Dear Sergeant H. M., _.
You can't go wrong if you go along with what it says on page 210 of TM 9-
1440-250-20.
That is-"Fill variable resistor so that oil level is visible in the oil gage glass."

Dear Sergeant H. L.,
Send the horns back up the line-to the depot.
That's right... they're the only people who're supposed to put the horns back
in shape when they become corroded or start to peel. #1 9-Wft
I DON'T RUSH IT
Word's getting around that at least one Nike-Hercules outfit has been gigged
because its launcher shock absorbers were short of oil.
What hurt is that the men in the unit had been following TM 9-1440-250-20
... LO 9-1440-250-20A and the plate on the front of each shock. That is,
they thought they had been.
If there's a sure way of being fooled into thinking that you have enough oil
in the shocks, it's to pour oil into 'em like you're trying to put out a fire.
SHOCKS FILL
SLOWLY FILLED
WHEN
SOIL
RUNS
The biggest letters on the plate for each shock spell it out clear and simple:
Fill Slowly. And the plate explains why ... to bleed air in the shocks completely.
When you pour in the oil slow-like-as if you're loading a stack of flap-jacks
with syrup-it's safe to figure the shocks are filled once the oil starts to run
out the overflow hole.

GOOD NEWS
The rubber covering on your Nike-
Hercules launching and handling rail
quick disconnect cables sure take a
beating.
MWO 9-1440-252-30/10 (22 Mar
62) helps the situation by fixing things
so's you don't have to twist the cables
to get 'em in the dummy receptacle.
But the MWO doesn't get rid of the
problem of shot cable covering-not
entirely.
The answer would be new cable as-
semblies ... and that's just what you'll
be getting. Cable assemblies (FSN
1450-987-9052) with a new, tougher
covering are replacing the cables you've
been using.
Don't be in a rush to requisition the
new assemblies, tho. They won't be
heading your way until the new ones
now in use disappear from the supply
system.
Meanwhile, you'd be helping things
by making your cables last as long as
possible. When they develop small
cracks in the covering, wrap some elec-
trical insulating tape around 'em. But,
WRAP HiJ
ELECTRICAL
INSULATING
TAPE OVER CRACKS
if the cracks are so deep you can see the
wiring, get rid of the cables. Taping
cables that're in this shape could mean
sealing in moisture and that'd be
worse'n no tape at all.
WHAT'D HE SAY?
Dear Half Mast, Dear Sergeant N. W.,
It's probably nothing to sweat about, You asked the question ... so here's
but I thought I'd check it out anyway. the answer: ammonium perchlorate

COOPERATION & COORDINATION
Those're the two things to remember if you're going to help your support
unit do what it says in TB 9-1400-250-34/1 (21 Nov 63).
The TB tells your support people about the inspections, testing and mainte-
nance they have to take care of to keep your missiles and launching rails up to
snuff.
When they take off with a missile and rail to give them the once-over, you'll
get replacements to keep your outfit at full strength.
It's your job to deactivate the missile before it's taken away. And you want
to bring the log book for the missile up to date before it heads up the pike for
your support unit's shop.
THE RIGHT ONE
You can come up with a choice by flipping a coin.
But that's not the best way to decide which 5847 tube to use in the external
guidance equipment in your Nike-Hercules and improved Nike-Hercules sys-
tems.
Do what the slide rule guys say. Use the electron tube that's listed under
5960-897-8354, not the one that comes under 5960-892-3351. There's just
enough difference between the two to make a difference in the job they'll do
for you.

radio sets.
The Track-68 also rates a double bow. It makes ich the ground-to-air talk
from a fixed location-and, it can be ,vhicle-mounted if an AC 11 5V or 230\
power source is available.
Don't let the different nomenclature throw )ou, though. Major components
of both sets are nearly identical. The big difference is the PP- 149i4/L, used onl.
with the Track-68.
S Remember a hen it used to be like a game of chess trying to figure out hov
to communicate from ground to air.
Like. sou vere just about voiceless when .ou had to contact an AM set in an
aircraft when all )ou had was your ground- or sehicular-based FM radio.
Or, if the aircraft had a UHF radio, )ou'd have to play all kinds of games to
get to it with sour land-based VHF set.
And. ma.be. the frequencies of .our set didn't match those in the aircraft.
Or, trying to contact Air Force or Nav) support aircraft on their frequencies
really worked up a sweat.
Well, that was "remember when" time. Along came the AN/VRC-24 and
the AN/TRC-68 radio sets, featuring UHF and 1750 AM channels... and some
dreary days were brightened quick-like.
For just about the first time, the VRC-24/Track-68 ground-to-air "twins"
provides the means for good ground-air communications.
The VRC-24, which does the vehicular ground-to-air work, even gives a

Both sets feature a frequency range from 225.0 mc to 399.9 me, which really
gets you up where the birds are ... and that includes Air Force and Navy-type
birds.
Persistent though it may be, there's no basis to the scuttlebutt that the new
sets replace any existing sets. That includes the ARC-27, which'll stay up where
the birds fly. Fact is, the ARC-27 is one of the jobs the new radios are designed
to net with.

About the only thing the VRC-24/
Track-68 replaces is a big hole in the
Army's common system.
So-o-o, grab another eyefull of some
unmentioned prime purposes of the
ground-to-air sets:
First 'n foremost, they're designed to
give continuous transmission and re-
ception during air-strike operations.
Those jobs can be done under extremes

A sweet point is that most audio
accessories and controls used with 'em
are old standbys which've been around
long enough for you to know them.
Also, about the only maintenance
using units have to bother with in-
cludes replacement of tubes, fuses,
knobs and a few other easy items which
require no major take-down of the
equipment.
The sets do need some special test
equipment, but nor at the organiza-
tional level. All you need is the AN/
URAI-105 multimeter, the TV-7/U
electron tube test set and the TK-
115/G tool kit. They've been around.

And since you're here, you might as well note this dope on the R-442,

Like you already know, the connectors are pretty much the same as those on
other radio equipment-meaning they're of soft metal and not up to rough

When it comes to the filters on your AN/MRC-69(V)
radio terminal set, don't be like the Joe who kept his shiny
new hotrod locked in the garage because he didn't wanna
get it dirty.
If a hotrod doesn't go, it's useless.
You'll get just about as much use out of the new filters for
the MK-124 'TRC filter kit if you don't take off their tar-
paper covers before you install 'em. In other words the filters
can't do their job if you keep 'em in their paper "garage."
Besides, leaving that wrapping on the filter could be a fire
hazard.
Sure, the filters will stay shiny as long's the covers are on.
But remember this, the filter metal is expected to get a little

Dear Half-Mast,
How're chances of getting a
word or two in PS on the BRACES
cross-braces of the newer model
RL-31 reel units?
Too many users forget to slide
the brace forward before
swinging it out to lock it in place.
Result: The ends are spread
wide open, which means the
brace has to be repaired before
it can be slid out and locked.
We didn't have this problem
with the old brace. It swung out
-with no sliding required. That's
probably the reason for the
damage, since a lot of us are
used to the older type.
Sgt J. P. M.
Dear Sergeant J. P. M.,
Sounds like a word or two is needed. The point on the brace being slid for-
ward is mighty important to prevent damage and that means all the
way forward, parallel with the crossarms, before swinging the brace to the
ooposite crossarms.
'Nother point: When the reel unit's WPY.
to be stored, you release the brace from
the opposite crossarms, swing it all
the way back to the arm that anchors
it, and then slide it back so it can be
pinned in storage position. Otherwise, the brace could swing out

You have connector plugs-like
those on an SB-22/PT or SB-86/P
portable switchboard-within reach-
ing distance?
Take a close look at the brass end
of one of the plugs. Does it look clean?
CROCUS
CLOTH
OK... maybe it does. Just for kicks,
tho, take a piece of crocus cloth and
rub it over the end of the plug for a
few seconds.
You can see that what you thought
was clean wasn't. The crocus cloth sure
works wonders.
So keep a piece of the stuff handy
S.. and every few days go to work on
the plugs. It doesn't take long-even
on the SB-86 with its 32 plugs.
You might even find that the clean
plugs will give you increased signal
strength.
SO NOW YOU KNOW
When it comes to electrical and elec-
tronic wiring for aircraft, it's hard to
get off the ground without a copy of
TM 11-530 (3 Dec 59).
It's called, real shrewd-like, "Instal-
lation Practices for Aircraft Electric
and Electronic Wiring," and it gives
you more general poop on the subject
than you'll probably know what to do
with.
It's not exactly a new TM, but it's
one that could easily have been lost
in the shuffle somewhere and never
reached your hot little plier-calloused

Sometimes it's the operator who needs a little PM.
Like when you're the operator of a MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Arc Welder, FSN
3431-691-1415, found in your No. 2 Supplemental Tool Kit. There're some
things to keep in mind for your own protection.
There'll be less danger from sparks and burns if you wear light leather
clothing. There're two welder's aprons (leather) listed in DOD Catalog C8405/
25-IL-A (1 Tan 64)-

at.back, without tapes or pockets with split leg, 42-in long, 26-inr.idei : sil K0i450, Type I,
class 2. '' '
If you don't have leather clothing, then wear: heavy, dark-colored clothing.
Make sure that your neck area's not exposed.
You need good ventilation (but not a draft) to protect yourself against ozone
gas poisoning. It's a good idea to take a fresh-air break every hour.
Make sure your welding helmet has a No. 10 shade (FSN 4240-273-8590),
when you're using from 75 to 200 amps, and a No. 12 shade (FSN 4240-273-
8591), when using over 200 amps.
Your welder has a selenium rectifier. If it works wrong it
might give off selenium oxide, which is dangerous. Should '-.
this happen, don't breathe the fumes coming from thec' '..
"burned-out" rectifier. Report it pronto.
You'll want to have a copy of TM 5-3431-200-15 (Aug62) '.

around the collar, or use inlet-valve cap,
FSN 4240-678-0730, with the face-
piece that has a collar that is smooth on
the outside.
Mixing the caps won't cause agent
leaks. Any air that gets around the
inlet valve cap comes through the filter
anyway, but it might cause fogging of
the lenses at sub-zero temperature. So,
please cross out Percy's red-lettered
comments under the pix on Page 57
in PS 135.
HOW YOU GET PUBS

gives the scoop on how the publications

didn't get yours you'll want to order it
on DA Form 17.
