AS-3916 Antenna Nut
NSN 1560-01-435-8079 gets a collet—
retaining nut—for connecting antenna
elements to the base unit of your
SINCGARS AS-3916/VRC antenna. Until TM
11-5820-890-20P is changed, pencil in this
NSN next to Item 15 in Fig 108A.
“Fuel Sample Buddy”
Correction
One NSN got switched and another was
omitted in our chart on Page 37 of PS
569. NSN 5935-00-572-5174 gets the ground
connector tip plug. NSN 5940-00-143-4794
gets 100 No. 10-32 connectors.
FMTV Hydraulic Fluid
Don’t be tempted to use the same hydraulic
fluid in your FMTV’s air-hydraulic power
unit that you use in the hydraulic reservoir
for the winch or crane. Use only MIL-H-
5606 OHA in the air-hydraulic power unit.
OE/HDO-10 or OEA cannot be used. They
will cause system check valves to lock up.
See Page F-3 of TM 9-2320-365-10 or TM 9-
2320-366-10.

M43 Mask Battery
The mask blower for M43 aircraft protective
masks won’t be doing much blowing if NBC
NCOs aren’t careful storing the blower’s
BA-5093/U batteries, NSN 6135-01-216-
9771. Batteries stored in unventilated, hot
sheds or vans quickly lose their power.
Store the batteries in a cool area if possible,
or at least in an area that is ventilated.
HMMWV Power Steering Pump
When the power steering pump, NSN 2530-
01-168-7876, for basic and A1-series
HMMWVs goes bad, you’ll have to replace
it with the pump used on the A2-series
vehicles, NSN 2530-01-460-2439. The old
pump is obsolete. Make a note of the
new NSN for Items 5 and 21 in Fig 146 in
TM 9-2320-280-24P-1. The part number is
RCSK18330.
