Water Trailers…
Give Water
a
Chill!
H
ot days in the sun means hot water in your water buffalo.
Put some “chill” in the water with the help of a small mobile water chiller that
comes with NSN 4130-01-315-7583.
Use the chiller on all M149-series trailers, the 250- and 400-gal water trailers, the
50-gal fabric drums and even 5-gal cans.
To mount the chiller, modify the trailer
using the mounting kit that comes with the
chiller.
The chiller is powered by an 18-hp gas
engine. It has an electric starter to help you
get it going.
But don’t use it!
The chiller
doesn’t have a battery, so you have to con-
nect it to an external power source.
The instructions on the chiller’s data
plate say you can use either 12-volt or 24-
volt auxiliary power to start the engine—but
don’t believe it. Twelve volts will do the
job, but 24 will burn out the starter.
You won’t find tactical trucks with a 12-
volt electrical system, so your best bet to
start the chiller is with muscle power only.

Trucks…
A
snug fit in the right
place can make all the
difference
when
it
comes to delivering the
goods in your truck.
Use a universal quick
tiedown kit, NSN 3990-
01-512-9476, to bundle
cargo and gear bags in
place, keep tents and
tarps snug, or tether
cargo nets.
The kit includes a
black 12-ft nylon rope
with adjustable locking
device. At one end of the
rope is a powder-coated
snap (or open) hook. A
2-in open (or closed)
hook attaches to the
locking device with its
push button release.
3/8” open hook
1/4” open hook
3/8” safety snap w/ eyelet
3/8” closed hook
1/4” closed hook
1/4” safety snap w/ eyelet
To safely start chiller, only use pull rope
this desert
sun is a real
scorcher!
hey, man!
I can
cool
you off!
Here’s
