just a retired
green-suiter. This
is my home.
you saved
my
life!
but
Who
Are you?
A
fter
restarting
the fire…
So you
probably
know a thing
or two
about cold
weather.
You
could
say
that!
I was also stationed at
Ft Drum, the Army Mountain
Warfare School in Vermont, and
at Ft Richardson in Alaska.
Now.
..let’s get
down to some
cold weather PM
on your SUSV!
You need to know your
SUSV’s -10 TM like the back
of your hand. That includes
knowing the
CAUtiON
and
WARNinG
statements.
it also means under-
standing vehicle operation
in
unusual
or
extreme
weather conditions.
I’ll
bet
your
vehicle
was
running
a little
rough
before
it ran
out of
fuel.
The rubber
on fuel
lines is
constantly
exposed
to the
elements.
That
exposure
leads to
dry rot
and
dete-
rioration.
That’s
when
leaks
happen.
how’d
you
know
that!?
And while
we’re back
here, take
a look
at these
grille
covers.
They need to be
off
while the
vehicle’s operating,
or the engine
will
overheat.
..
even in these
temperatures!
Let’s take
a look at
the front
of the
vehicle.
Always check
the condition of
the windshield
wipers before
heading out.
Make sure they’re not ripped
apart by ice or frozen to the
windshield. Use NSN 2540-01-163-
4993 to keep an
extra
set on
hand, just in case.
Some folks have
been known to use
petroleum jelly or
cooking spray on
them, just so they
last longer. That
helps sometimes.
