M13 Decon…
Easier Pumping
O
ne check and a little care can make pumping your M13 decon so much easier.
Before you go to the field, check
the O-ring in the pump’s hose con-
nector. If the O-ring is missing or
damaged, you won’t be able to build
up pressure in the decon. You’ll
pump and pump without much
result. So alert your NBC NCO to a
missing or damaged O-ring. To get a
new free O-ring, contact Tuan Pham
at (309) 782-6949, DSN 793-6949,
phamt@ria.army.mil
.
When you connect the
pump to the container, pay
attention to the scribe line
on each connector. If you
don’t line up the lines, the
hose isn’t properly locked
on. That makes for more
hard pumping.
Gasket in place and
in good condition?
Line up
scribe lines
Remember to stay
at least 3 feet
away from what-
ever you’re spray-
ing with the DS2.
Otherwise, you’ll
get soaked.
