S
omewhere, way back when, your
momma told you not to cry over
spilled milk. That’s because what’s
done is done.
But she never said anything about
spilled hydraulic oil all over a
shop’s floor!
On the bottom of Page 2-28 in
TM 5-3805-261-10 it says to open
the fuel tank’s sediment drain valve
to remove moisture from the tank.
Problem is, the callout for that
PMCS check (#8) points to the drain
valve for the grader’s hydraulic tank.
You’re in for a big surprise when
you open that valve. Several gallons
of hydraulic fluid will drain out.
So make it a point to remember
the fuel tank sediment valve is
shown on the left in the illustration.
The drain valve is shown on the
right. If you don’t remember, you’ll
be stuck with hydraulic oil on your
boots, the shop floor, and something
to really cry about!
