W
ant to get a good night’s sleep? Before you
try counting sheep, try performing a little PM
on your aluminum cot, NSN 7105-00-935-
0422. Here are some trouble spots:
•
Rivets
sometime break or get lost.
Unfortunately you won’t find replacement
rivets for your cot. But you can use these
items instead:
–Machine screw, NSN 5305-00-050- 9236
–Washer, NSN 5310-00-933-8120
–Nut, NSN 5310-00-934-9760
•
If the
rivet holding the
tiedown strap
gets damaged or
lost, replace it with
–Self-tapping screw,
–Washer NSN 5310-00-809-3078
•
Cot covers
can stretch, sink
and sag with use. To tighten the
cover, insert spacing plugs, NSN
7105-00-935-0434, between the
end stick and frame. New covers
may be tight and not need plugs,
so store unused plugs in an end
stick until needed.
•
Sometimes the
buckle on the
tiedown strap
gets bent. Then
when you slip the strap through
the buckle, the tab gets caught
and tears off. Straighten the
buckle with a screwdriver so the
tab will slide through easily.
•
Things bugging you?
Use NSN 7210-00-267-5641 to get an insect bar frame
made of wood for your cot. Get the insect netting with NSN 7210-00-266-9736.
Here are the
replacement
parts for your
aluminum cot…
