If you’re using the new M26 decon, you can
now get spare/repair parts and technical assistance
through Pine Bluff Arsenal. Contact them at (800)
952-5897 or email:
DL_M26support@conus.army.mil
The support will be available through October,
2011. After that, you can order repair parts through
the supply system and do the repairs locally.
M17A3
The inflatable collar for the 3,000-gal blivet has
been modified with a hard foam collar that floats
when the blivet is filled. As a result, the blivet’s NSN
has been changed to NSN 5430-01-543-0155. Do not
order the old NSN, 5430-01-483-1065. All new M17s
will include the new blivet. The new NSN will be
included in the next change to TM 3-4230-228-10
and -23&P.
D
econ units have had trouble for years protecting their M12 decons from the
elements. The M12 pump’s cover was made of canvas and tended to fall apart
quickly. And the M2 heater had no cover.
That’s no longer a problem. You can now order a durable vinyl pump cover with
NSN 4230-00-943-5536. Make sure on the order form’s Exception Data block to
write “latest version” so you don’t get the old canvas cover.
Order the M2 cover with NSN 5340-01-580-1423.
These bolts are
known to come loose
from vehicle vibration.
One loose bolt causes
the other fan bolts to
come loose. Eventually,
the bolts shear off and
the fan is propelled
into the radiator, fan
shroud and coolant
or hydraulic lines.
A busted coolant or
hydraulic line means
a loss of Fuid, causing
extensive damage to
the crane’s engine.
