Static Grounding Cables
If you’re in need of items to make insulated
static grounding cables for your bird, here
are the parts you need to get the job done:
AGSE Maintenance
Stand
On page 35 of PS 662, we told you the
maximum weight of the low-level stand is
500 pounds. That’s correct when the stand is
folded. The maximum weight goes up to 750
pounds when the stand is open. Make a note
of these weight limits when using the stand.
Mask Canister
Shelf Life
Extended
The shelf lives of the following C2A1 canister
lot numbers have been extended to 30 Jun
2012:
MMB01G023015
MMB02B027003
MMB02H028008
The shelf life of case lot MMB02E028004
has been extended to 30 Apr 2012.
The C2A1 is used with the M40A1,
M42A2, M45, M48, and MCU-2A/P masks.
CBRN specialists should check their canisters
for these lot numbers and mark in the new
shelf life dates. Shelf life info for all CBRN
equipment can be checked at

Hinge Stock NSN
If you searched FED LOG for plastic hinge
stock, NSN 9390-01-171-5986, used on the
Black Hawk, and found the Army not listed
as a user, don’t panic! The Army is now
listed as a user.

HEMTT Parking Brake Valve Update
Your HEMTT’s air brake system parking brake valve is shown as Item 1 in Fig 199 of TM
9-2320-279-24P, including Items 2, 3, and 4. That’s a mistake! When you place your order,
you’ll only get the valve, not all other parts. So order each part separately. And note that
this valve has a different design than the original. You may need to enlarge the mounting
hole on the dash panel. Make a note until the TM is updated.
Order BEOD
Gooseneck Light
by P/N
An NSN doesn’t exist yet for the gooseneck
light on your explosive ordnance disposal
body (BEOD). But you can purchase the
gooseneck light from Sunnex Inc. for $98
using part number HS747-27RIA. Get it
from David Trinks at (508) 651-0009, ext. 224,
or Anders Utter at ext. 230. Their address is
3 Huron Drive, Natick, MA 01760-1314.
Some SECM-HMMWV
Data Plates Wrong
Some of the HMMWV data plates for the new
SECMs (shop equipment, contact maintenance)
are wrong. The data plates list the gross
vehicle weight (GVW) as 11,500 pounds, when
it should be 12,100. If your SECM HMMWV has
the wrong HMMWV data plate, contact PM
SKOT’s Ben Martin at DSN 793-8129, (309) 782-
2722, or email:
ben.martin1
@us.army.mil
He’ll send you the correct plate.
Compressed Air
Need a quick, simple way to clean dusty
optics while avoiding scratches? Compressed
air does the job. NSN 7930-01-398-2473
brings six 10-oz cans of compressed air.
ABS Warning Light
Sticker
Use NSN 7690-01-530-5506 to get a sticker
that goes under the M939-series 5-ton truck’s
ABS light. It carries the following warning:
ABS Warning!
Steady illuminated lamp indicates a
malfunctioning anti-lock brake
system.
If malfunctioning, use gradual
braking techniques listed in
TM 9-2320-272-10
(Operation w/o ABS).
40 mph maximum speed with steady
lamp.

Kiowa Warrior Upper Shroud
In PS 646 (Sept 06), we show the upper shroud listed as NSN 1260-01-479-4629. The correct NSN
for the upper shroud is NSN 1260-01-497-4629.
What MaintenanCe
AVUM Can Do
We told you on page 39 of PS 660, (Nov 07) that AVUM mechanics can do AVIM maintenance
only when authorized by a LAR or an engineer who’s given approval by letter. That’s not correct.
An AVIM shop can approve AVUM mechanics to perform AVIM maintenance only if the unit
level has the expertise. AVIM must also provide the tools and supervision to make sure the task
is completed correctly.
