Dear Editor,
You published a very good article on the Hawker battery and related
chargers in PS 664 (Mar 08). However, one important item was left out-
the analyzer.
I was at Camp Casey, ROK, when the 2nd ID started using Hawkers.
Due to a lack of analyzers, chargers, and training, there was a maintenance
issue with the battery. But once all the components were together and
personnel were properly trained, the battery problems dropped considerably.
I think the battery analyzer should be included whenever there’s any
discussion about the Hawker battery.

f snow is in your way, using your HMMWV and a snow plow kit can make your
path smooth.
The Army’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) developed
snow plow kits for use on HWWMVs, except those with a winch.
The complete snow plow kit, NSN 3820-01-473-2777, includes the snow plow
with hardware and hydraulics. You can also get the removable plow assembly with
NSN 3820-01-473-2783, or the afFxed vehicle plow kit hardware with NSN 3820-01-
473-2793.
Instructions come with each
kit you order, but only depot is
authorized to install it on your
HMMWV.
If
your
maintenance
facility
doesn’t
have
depot
capability, call the CRREL at DSN
220-4470 or (603) 646-4470. They
can help you make an appointment
with the snow plow’s manufacturer
to install it on your HMMWV.
Stay safe by never driving over
10 mph while plowing.
Dear Half-Mast,
My HMMWV’s air
cleaner filter element,
NSN 2940-01-188-
3776, shows up in
FED LOG as a terminal
item. What’s the
replacement?
SSG A.R.
Dear Sergeant A.R.,
Breathe easy. The old, separate hex nut-type air
flter, NSN 2940-01-188-3776, has been replaced with
the improved caged wing nut with flter design, NSN
2940-01-548-1183. This new design makes removal
and installation easier by hand—without tools.
Editor’s note:
Thanks For sharing
your experience with us.
Belcher. Readers, you can choose
From the Following battery analyzer
