F
uel handlers, if you’re looking
for camouflage coveralls, don’t
hold your breath.
Camouflage coveralls are still
in development. They won’t be
fielded for a while.
Fuel handler’s coveralls,
are
available in tan. Here are the
NSNs and sizes.
Tip Five.
Always ground your aircraft. To beef up your knowledge on
grounding, check out Page 2-11, in FM 10-67-1.
Dear Editor,
Please put the word out that a loose or incorrectly mounted E1 grounding
wire inside the electrical connector assembly, NSN 5935-01-360-2630,
of the MT-6352/VRC can burn out the EMI filter or the wiring.
So, when doing repairs of the
electrical connector assembly,
be sure that the E1 ground wire
terminal lug is securely fastened
to the EM1 filter mounting screw.
The screw is located near the end
of the electrical connector. If the
screw is missing, order a new one
And get a new washer with NSN

Editor’s note:
Thanks, David, for this important info. Maintainers, remember to
do a continuity check to verify the ground when you replace or tighten the screw.

Tip Four.
Resist the urge to
use shortcuts. Don’t become a
cold weather casualty. Be careful
not to expose skin directly to
a bitter cold aircraft, POL, or
tools. They can cause frostbite.
If Mr. Freeze gets to you, break
your maintenance task into small
portions or use the buddy system
where one mechanic works while
the other warms up in a shelter.
Make sure you are extremely
careful when climbing on to or
walking on top of snow or frost
covered
aircraft
because
you
could slip and fall off the aircraft!

nsns for ordering
the camouflage
coveralls?
get your
coveralls in
tan for now
because the
camouflage
coveralls
are still in
development.

looking!
I’ve

a while.
I’d better
take a break
and get inside!
