Water Cans…
D
on’t freeze your can off this winter.
Keep the water in your 5-gal water
cans from freezing. Use insulated
covers, NSN 7240-00-125-9061.
Here are some other ideas to pro-
tect cans when the mercury heads
south:
Leave room for expansion. Fill
cans no more than three inches from
the top.
Keep cans out of the chilling wind.
Put them inside a tent or vehicle.
Keep cans off the frozen ground.
Set them on planks or pallets.
Never heat a frozen can—the plas-
tic will melt.
It’s below
freezing!
I need my
covers!
Glow Plug Warning Label
NSN 7690-01-267-7370 gets a warning
label to stick on the dashboard of a
HMMWV or CUCV that reminds drivers to
wait until the glow plugs are ready before
they try to start the engine. It says: DO NOT
START ENGINE UNTIL THE WAIT LIGHT
GOES OUT.
M939/M939A1
Thermostat
Order NSN 6685-01-141-0907 to get the
thermostat for your 5-ton truck. Keep an
extra one as a spare ‘cause you might need
it this winter.
Snow Shovel
Need a snow shovel to dig out of those
deep winter drifts? NSN 5120-00-288-6529
brings a shovel with a 24-in wide blade.
SKO, GMTK CDs
Available
TACOM-Rock Island has two CDs available
that provide lots of information on sets, kits
and outfits (SKO). One CD gives NSNs, pic-
tures, specifications, and warranty info on
all the tools in the general mechanics tool
kit (GMKT), new aviation tool set-arma-
ment (NATS-A), TK 105 electronic repair-
man tool kit, and the small arms tool kit.
The other CD gives the same info just for
the GMKT. If you would like a copy of either

M8A1 Alarm Kit
Replaced
The M273 maintenance kit, NSN 5180-01-
108-1729, for the M8A1 chemical alarm is
no longer available. It contained both test

order separately.
