here may not be any tires on the SUSV, mechanics, but you still need an air
pressure gauge to keep the steering damper in good working order.
The SUSV manual, TM 9-2350-285-20, calls for a 29–102 psi range of air
pressure in the damper accumulator. But that range is too wide.
A better range is between 55–
85 psi. Air pressure of at least 55
psi in the accumulator will pre-
vent damper bottoming, which
causes steering component dam-
age and rough handling. More
than 85 psi can overstress seals
and steering lines. Table 2-5 on
Page 2-10 of the TM will be up-
dated with this info at the next
change or revision.
If drivers complain that the SUSV rides or steers hard, and you find the air
pressure is between 55–85 psi, check out the accumulator hydraulic fluid level.
That information is found in Para 8-11 on Page 8-28 of TM 9-2350-285-20.
echanics, when you send a Stewart-Warner heater with a bad burner to DS
for repair, you don’t want to pay for a new burner, do you?
Since the burner repair kit, NSN
2540-00-255-0777, was left out of TM
9-2540-205-24&P, chances are support
will replace—not repair—the burner.
Let DS know the repair kit is still
available and that it works with
Stewart-Warner models 10560C,
10560G, 10560M and 10560M24B1.
Here’s what’s in the kit:
Personnel Heaters . . .
Small Unit Support Vehicle . . .
