PROCEDURES FOR COMMON COMPONENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

Tires. Visually inspect tires during each walkaround inspection. This inspection includes checking tires with a tire

gauge. Inflate, repair or replace as necessary those found to be low, damaged or excessively worn. Mark inflated and

repaired tires with a crayon for checking at the next inspection.

Batteries and Capacitor(s). Leave batteries and capacitor(s) in place in equipment. Disconnect battery cables (WP

0115 00). Ensure that batteries and capacitor(s) are fully charged when equipment is stored and are returned to a full

charge during each equipment exercising.

Seals. Seals may develop leaks during storage or shortly thereafter. If leaking persists, refer to the applicable mainte-

nance section in this manual for corrective maintenance procedures.

REMOVAL OF EQUIPMENT FROM ADMINISTRATIVE STORAGE

Activation. Restore the equipment to normal operating condition in accordance with the instructions contained in

Servicing. Resume the maintenance service schedule in effect at the commencement of storage or service the equipment

before the scheduled dates in order to produce a staggered maintenance workload.

PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR SHIPMENT

Vehicles that have been removed from storage for shipment do not have to be reprocessed if they will reach their desti-

nation within the administrative storage period. Reprocess only if inspection reveals any corrosion or if anticipated in-

transit weather conditions make it necessary.

When a vehicle is received and has already been processed for domestic shipment, as indicated on DD Form 1397, it

does not have to be reprocessed for storage unless corrosion and deterioration are found during the inspection upon

receipt. List on SF Form 364 all discrepancies found because of poor preservation, packaging, packing, marking, han-

dling, loading, storage or excessive preservation. Repairs that cannot be handled by the receiving unit must have tags

attached listing needed repairs. A report of these conditions will be submitted by the unit commander for action by an

ordnance maintenance unit.
