FOR NCO'S . . THE NON COMMISSIONED OFFICER LOGISTICS PROGRAM The Army has set up NCOLP so that top-notch E-6's, E-7's, E-8's and E-9's can be put into supply and mpintenance (logistics) career patterns. WII help you plan your Army life, you might say.

Men who get in are assigned on an individual by-name basis to specific key logistics slots in places like depots, supply agencies, major command and installation staffs , maintenance units and logistics in -

structor staffs at Army schools. Once you're in the program, you're sure to be in a supply or maintenance assignment both stateside and overseas.

Interested?

Then dig out Change 16 (28 Aug 67) to AR 600-200 and follow the scoop in Paras 4-28 thru 4-37. You can apply, or your CO can nominate you if he thinks you've got what it takes.

SPOOLING BOOM WINCH - I f the boomwinch cable is noc wound properly on the drum it can get damaged when you use it for heavy pulling. You need a

cable tension of 7,500 pounds

to

wrap

the cable on the drum the way it should go. To get this tension you:

universal joincs for broken lockwires and loose screws, and make sure the wire is not laced wrong like it shows on page 183 of your -20 TM. The only screws that should be joined with lockwire are those positioned so the lockwire has to cross over the journal flange.

SPOOLING BOOM WINCH - If the boomwinch cable is not wound properly on the drum it can get damaged when you use it for heavy pulling. You need a cable tension of 7,500 pounds to wrap the cable on the drum the way jt should go. To get this tension you:

TOW WINCH - You need a lot of tcnsian to wind up the tow cable, so you do 1 and 2 exactly the same as above and 4 the same except you put the transmissian into Range 1 instead of into Range 4. Range 1 (Range 2 if your tracks slip) will push the vehicle ahead with a force that will keep the tow cable under proper tcnsion when it is being wound up as the vehicle is pulled backward.

everything you can do you might get some bad fuel that'll make one of the injectors stick. If one injector sticks, likely all the injectors on that bank will stick. Get your support to replace the bad injector and you'll be back in business.

UNIVERSAL JOINT SCREWS - Check you, universal joints for broken lock wires and loose screws, and make sure the wire is not laced wrong like it shows on page 183 of your -20 TM. The only screws that should be joined with lockwire are those positioned so the lockwire has to cross over the journal flange.

SURE 1 CAN GET YOU ANOTHER INJECTOR.!! BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT KEEPING YOUR. FUEL CLEAN?

FAN WEU -Show-off driving (splashiog through mud holes, etc.) will let a lor of mud and water get into the fan wells and, in time, clog the radiators. So hold down on the cowboy stuff! There's no access plate for cleanout or drain for the fan well so if you get it full of mud

is worth all the effort it takes to keep it that way. Be sure the water-tight fuel tank cap on your top deck is really water tight. Check both primary and secondary fuel filters daily and bleed about a cup full from each - more if you get a lot of water mixed with the fuel. (Note: if you have to drain the secondary filter, do it with the engine running.)

TOW WINOI - You need a lot of tension to wind up the tow cable, so you do 1 and 2 exactly the same as above and 4 the same except you put the transmission into Range 1 instead of into Range 4. Range 1 (Range 2 jf your tracks slip) will push the vehicle ahead with a force that will keep the tow cable under

~II DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT

ENGINE SHUTDOWN -Your ·10 TM, says to idle the engine at 550-600 for 5 minutes before shutting it off, but the latest word is that 1000·1200 RPM for 4·5 minutes is better. HUU DRAIN VALVES - Running your vehicle cross country with the hull-drain valves open is a sure way to get 'em smashed. 50-0-0-0, dose all 3 drain valves before you take off.

SmlNG IO(J(OUT - Back the vehicle up on the spade before you lock out the wheels. Reason: If the roadwheels are locked Out before then, they're not supporting the load. After the driver sets the lockout switch, he should wait until the lockout warning light comes on, which may take 30 or 40 seconds. The light will not come on until all lockout cylinders are locked. Puc the lockout on only after the spade is well dug in. When you want to move off the spade, first turn off your lockout control and wait until the light goes off before you move off the spade.

6. Release the tension on the boom,wlnch cable, disconnect It from the spade and reel It back In 7. After the spade IS emplaced and winch coble IS all reeled In, lock out suspension system

DRAIN PLUGS - Every day take out the hull drain plugs at the rear underside of the hull, JUSt inboard of the trailing idler wheel arms. After the water, hydraulic oil leakage (and whatever) has drained out, replace the plugs. Those plugs are at the lowest part of the hull and when you open 'em you get rid of the moisture that otherwise would seep through the trailing idler wheel seals and damage the bearings in the hull. The plugs are easy for the operator to get to from the outside of the vehicle and easy to drain. Do it daily. GRUSE GUN - The 16-02 grease gun may not fit in its brackets. If you have this trouble it's OK to bend or reposition the brackets SO they fit. 17

That's right-no quarterly preventive maintenance services for tactical wheeled vehicles. This was the word in DA Cir 750-10 (Apr 63). If your truck or trailer TM ca lls for a Q service, you still pull the same service but as a semiannual (S service)instead of a quarterly. Until your TM picks it up, the word in DA Cir 750- 10 (Apr 63) is still gexxl. Make a note for yourself.
