Containerized
Kitchen Winch
Need a good NSN for the winch that
lowers and raises the side panels on your
containerized kitchen? Item 1 in Fig 2 of TM
10-7360-226-13&P (Aug 01, w/Ch 4, Mar 07)
lists the
wrong
correct NSN is 3950-01-511-1191. This NSN
brings a winch repair kit that contains two
winches. Make a note in the repair parts list
until the TM is updated.
M777A2 Fire Control Telescope Mount
Page 7 of PS 722 (Jan 13) told you to prevent damage when towing the M119A2 howitzer by
removing the M137A2 panaramic telescope from the M187A1 mount, as well as installing a
plastic cover when the telescope isn’t mounted. That info also applies to the M777A2 towed
howitzer and its M171A1 mount. The original article can be viewed at:
Beware of Counterfeit CR123A Batteries
Counterfeit CR123A batteries are being sold to the public from a variety of sources. They look
similar in size, shape and color to name-brand batteries such as Duracell, Energizer, Rayovac
and others. These knock-offs may even have labels and logos similar to those on name-brand
batteries. But make no mistake. The counterfeit CR123As are substandard. They can overheat and
catch fire or explode when used, transported or stored. So, steer clear of counterfeit CR123As.
Order
authentic CR123As,
NSN 6135-01-351-1131, only through the Army supply system. That
way you can be sure you’re getting good batteries.
STE-M1/FVS Continuity Test Probe
The STE-M1/FVS test set’s continuity test probe assembly, NSN 6525-01-102-6878, shown as Fig F6
in TM 9-4910-751-14&P (May 91 w/Ch 2, Mar 97), is no longer available. But you can still put the
probe assembly together by ordering its down parts from the same Fig. Note that Items 4 and 11

CK Chassis Crank
Handle
Currently, there’s no NSN for the crank
handle on the containerized kitchen’s (CK)
chassis, XCK2000. But you can order the
crank handle on a DD Form 1348-6 using
PN 1103-1945-01 and CAGE 2W888.
XM1216 SUGV
Battery
The BB-2590/U, NSN 6140-01-490-4316,
is the
only
approved battery for the
XM1216 small unmanned ground vehicle
(SUGV) system. Using any other battery in
the chassis or operator control unit (OCU)
could cause damage or failure of the
robot and OCU.
