f your unit’s HMMWVs use Rhinos, forget about using the Rhino’s 50-amp thermal
circuit breaker. It’s the culprit behind thermal circuit breaker tripping incidents.
Here’s how to trip up thermal circuit
breaker tripping, mechanics. Inspect
the Rhino’s thermal circuit breaker
on Rhinos attached to HMMWVs.
Replace all 50-amp thermal circuit
breakers with 60-amp thermal circuit
breakers, NSN 5925-01-573-7439.
Make sure you install them using
