“The right tool for the right task.” That’s a motto to live by, Bradley mechanics.
Unfortunately, the motto of some mechanics is “Use whatever’s handy”.
When removing the engine compartment power unit access door, some mechan-
ics are attaching the fender skirt cable step, NSN 2590-01-237-2944, and using it to
lift the access door. Bad idea.
The cable step isn’t designed
to lift the access door. If it snaps
while you’re in the way.
..OUCH!
The lifting eye bracket, NSN
5340-01-131-1937, is the right
tool to use. So make sure you
have a few on hand the next time
you need to lift the access door.
there’s no
muscle
behind
that
attitude,
pal!
Use lifting eye bracket for removing access door
this
cable step
should do
the trick!
that
won’t
hold!
you’d
better
use the
right
tool!
I think there’s
plenty
of hot
air in here
alreadY!
hey, give
the heater
some time!
darn heater!
it oughtta
start right
up!!
be patient!
you’ll have
some heat in
a few more
seconds!
h
aving trouble with a slow-starting personnel heater, NSN 2540-01-114-7688, on
your MLRS carrier?
Could be there’s no problem at all. Those heaters come equipped with either an old-
or new-style regulator, NSN 2540-12-171-3208. The old style regulators get the fuel
pump started immediately. The new-style regulators have a built-in 27-30 second
delay before the fuel pump kicks in.
Both regulators work fine, but you just may have to wait a few more seconds for
some hot air.
I’ve got
to remove
your engine
access
door.
hey!
oh, man!
it's so
cold
in
here…
