-cables and 4-ft power cables Fr
ML09-series and ML IOA2 howitzers
were issued with the battery compUter
system/gun data units (BCS/GD±).
BUt TM's do not have NSN's Fr re²
placement cables.
³f you need 'em, ´rder new ones with
these NSN's:

Here's a tip fµr you, too. Remove the
Y-cable and the power cable any time
yoU turn in BCS/GD±¶ ³f yoU tu· in
the cables, you won't get them back.
Fittings Work Better on Top
Lo
9-2350-304¸12 says to "orient¹
the r´adwheels and trailing idºer
wheels so that the lubricati´n relief
valve is above the grease fitting when
y´U lube the wheeºs.
That's not the best way.
³t's better to move the vehicle s´ that
the fitting is above the relief valve.
That way, you can catch spilled grease
in a rag ´r bucket, and the fitting is
easier to get to¶ Plus, if the reºief valve
is partially blocked you won»t run the
risk of grease in the eyes if the blockage
breaks loose¶
Technically, it makes no difference
what position the fitting and the valve

are in, and the

will be changed to
reflect that. But, it makes sense to do
the j¼b so there's less ½ess and effµrt.
