3,000-GPH Trailer-mounted ROWPU…
Hard to Find Repair Parts
T
rying to find repair parts for the 3,000-GPH trailer-mounted ROWPU can be a real
puzzler. That’s because some old parts are no longer available or the parts info in
the TM has changed.
Make a note of these changes in TM 10-4610-232-24P until there’s a change or
revision to the technical manual.
Chemical Agent Monitor…
CAM Plan
for Reserves/
Guard
Dear Editor,
I read in PS 591 (Feb 02)
that you should run the
chemical agent monitor
(CAM) at least 30 minutes
per week to avoid problems.
That's makes a problem for
Reserve and National Guard
NBC NCOs, since they train
only one weekend a month.
I suggest that Reserve
and National Guard units list
the CAM test on their
monthly training schedule.
That way they could run their
CAMs Saturday through
Sunday and then do the
confidence test at the end
of training on Sunday. The
CAMs get a real workout,
which will prevent problems
later. Plus, troops will have
an opportunity to train with
CAMs every month.

Dear Editor,
You have to balance yourself on the
Fox’s roof while pulling out and reading the
hydraulic reservoir dipstick. It’s easy to
drop the dipstick and if it falls on the
floor of the engine compartment, you’ll
have a heck of a time retrieving it.
We stick with our dipsticks by tying
them up. Just tie one end of a piece of
twine through the hole in the dipstick
handle and tie the other end to something
near the reservoir, like a handle or line.
Then if you drop the dipstick, you can just
reel it back in.

Hang onto this idea! Thanks.

The best course of action is
to run CAMs weekly for 30
minutes. Since that's not possi-
ble for most Reserve and Guard
NBC NCOs, your suggestion is
a good alternative. Thanks.

I dropped
the dipstick.
I’ll never
find it now!
nerts!
Tie off dipstick to keep
it from disappearing
