rivers, make sure you use the SUSV’s grille covers during the off-season (after the
thaw and before the Frst freeze).
Without the covers, mechanical and electrical components in the engine
compartment can rust and corrode.
Here’s what to do if you know your vehicle won’t be used for
more than a week:
•±
Turn the key to STOP.
•±
Do PMCS.
•±
Remove drain plugs and store them in the front door pocket.
•± Install±front…
…and±rear±grille±covers.
•±
Disconnect the battery’s ground cable. Then add a tag to the vehicle’s keys as a
reminder that the battery is disconnected.
•±
Remove the front engine hood.
If you’re parking your SUSV for
a week or less:
•±
Turn the key to STOP.
•±
Install the front and rear grille covers.
Never operate the vehicle with grille covers installed. Power train components
will overheat and can cause a Fre.
If your grille covers are missing, order one for the front with NSN 2540-01-309-
1078. NSN 2540-01-309-1079 gets the rear cover.
O
perators, keep this PM tip in mind ‘cause it’s a real noggin’ saver!
Without lube, condensation gets into the hatch hinge assembly’s internal spring,
causing it to rust. The spring continues to weaken until it Fnally breaks. Then the
hatch cover can fall on your head!
There are two grease Fttings
that lube the assembly’s internal
spring. They’re shown in Note
