MW24C Scoop Loaders…
Drive Shaft Parts Update
Here are
two
pointers
that
will keep your
mw24c scoop
loader’s air
brake system
mission-ready at
the work site…
Bleed the Brakes
Make sure you drain the scoop loader’s air brakes after
every mission. If you don’t, you’ll end up with some real
problems down the road, including brake failure.
That’s because moisture in the air in the brake system
turns into water. Water causes rust, which plugs up brakes
valves and cylinders. Eventually, you have brake failure.
Always drain the water from the scoop loader’s air tank
after the day’s run. Just open the valve until no more water
comes out. Then close the valve tightly when you’re done.
Keep Alcohol Bottle Full
An alcohol evaporator bottle is part of the scoop loader’s air brake system.
Check the bottle every time you open the engine’s curbside access panels. The
bottle is mounted directly behind a crossmember that’s between both panels, so it’s
easy to forget. Keep the bottle at least two-thirds full.
Drain water
from air tank
The scoop
loader’s rear
drive shaft is
no
longer available
as an assembly.
That means
you’ll have to
order the drive
shaft’s parts
separately.
So make a note until
they’re added to the
next change or revision
of Figure 70 in
TM 5-3805-262-24P.
