I WONDER IF
I SHOULD
LUBE
THE
VENT
HINGES
?
the
answer is
yes!
ometimes it’s easy to sweep the little things under the rug. Who has time to
clean up the speck of dust when there’s a pile of dirt to shovel away.
But, you know, that pile of dirt started with a speck of dust.
One of those specks of dust—that
small job—is a lack of lubrication
on commo shelter vent hinges, ven-
tilating fans and door mechanisms.
TB 43-0124, Maintenance and Re-
pair Procedures for Shelters, gives
you a lot of leeway when it comes to lubing
these areas and because of that, they’re often
forgotten or neglected. That is, until a hinge
binds and then breaks or until a fan freezes.
Then your shelter and the electronics inside are
open to moisture, dust and dirt, and heat.
Regularly, and you know how often that is
for the conditions in your area, you must lubri-
cate door hinges, vent hinges, ventilating fans
and door latches. Use lubricating oil, MIL-L-
46167. NSN 9150-00-402-2372 brings a quart.
On hinges, fans and latches where corrosion
has already gained a foothold, take ’em apart
and clean them before you lube.
Lube vent hinges.

a list of electrical
wire NSN

that you
might need for
your equipment.
The unit of
