C
rewmen, sometimes the cargo hatch seal doesn’t always keep dust and water out of
your Bradley’s troop compartment like it’s supposed to. That can mean an unpleasant
ride for the Soldiers inside!
But
there’s
an
easy
Fx. The cargo hatch has
factory-installed
shims.
You’ll see them next to
the release lever. Get your
mechanic
to
adjust
the
shims so that dust and
water can’t enter the troop
compartment.
That’ll
make
for
a
cleaner vehicle and much
happier passengers!
The shim adjusting procedure is outlined starting on Page 4-18 of TM 9-2350-
252-20-1-2 (Apr 97), WP 0265 and 0266 in TM 9-2350-284-23-1-2 (Mar 12), and
WP 0368 in TM 9-2350-294-23-1-2 (Nov 09).

Combat
Vehicles…
As one mechanic recently
found out the hard way,
cotter pins
not
properly
bent around their
castellated nuts on their
equipment can cause some
pretty nasty cuts—
OUCH!
Mechanics, when
it’s time to show
your Strykers some
much-needed
TLC
,
use these NSNs to
order annual and
semi-annual engine
service kits…
That’s sweet, but
all I
really
want is
a new service kit!
So do yourself and
the mechanics working on
your vehicle a favor…
Bend those cotter pins
completely around the
nuts so there aren’t any
sharp edges poking out.
Everyone’s
hands will
thank you!
Be Sure To Bend Those Pins
