Dispensing Disperser Info

The M37 is covered by TM 3-1040-287-12&P.
You should have received a copy with each M37.
If you didn't, have your pubs clerk order more.

You should also have received refill and repair
kits for every 2 or 3 M37s. The repair kit has no
overall NSN, but you can order its components
with the NSNs in the Repair Parts and Special
Tools List in the TM.
•
All M37s are under warranty through April 2004.
See Page 0001 00-2 in the TM for more info.

Dear Half-Mast,
We have several decons
at our posts and we have
trouble telling whether we
have the M17 decon or
the AE32U/8 Sanator,
plus we have trouble telling
what models of M17 we
have. That makes it tough
when we order parts since
we don't know which parts
we need. Is there a good
way to tell what's what?
SGT N.D.
Dear Sergeant N.D.,
You bet. If your decon has the control panel on
the end, it's an M17. If the panel is on the lower
left side, it's a Sanator.
For Sanator parts, see TM 3-4230-218-12&P.
There are only two versions of the M17 in the
field now, the M17A2 and M17A3. The only differ-
ence between the two is that the -A2 uses the
1,580-gal blivet, while the -A3 uses the 3,000-gal
blivet. Go to TM 3-4230-228-23&P for parts.
M17 has control
panel on end
I could be
fixing you
right now…
you can’t
tell!?
the
only clue you
need is
right
here!
…if only I could
tell who’s
the
sanator and
who’s the m1
7
.
The Army is
fielding the M3
7
riot control
agent disperser,
NSN 1040-01-463-
015
7
, to MP units
and the Guard
and Reserves.
The
refill kit
is made up
of these
items…
This M3
7
is starting
to wear out! Where
are we going to
get repair parts
for this?
I don’t
know!
I
don't even
have a TM
for it.
If your unit
receives the
M3
7
, here are
a few things
to remember.
