Dear Half-Mast,
I’m confused about the use of multiple use adapters (MUAs) with HEMTT
wreckers. Can you break it down for me?
SPC J.P.
Dear Specialist J.P.,
Can do.
M984A4 wreckers and some M984A2 wreckers come with multiple use adapters
(MUAs). The MUA adapters, spacers and pins are included in your wrecker’s
components of end item (COEI). Order NSN 2590-01-569-5574 if you need a MUA
kit that includes the adapters, spacers and pins.
EM 0289 and TM 9-2320-421-10-1 give instructions for lifting with the MUA
or older adapters. But if you’re towing an FMTV with an M984A2 or M984A4
HEMTT wrecker, don’t use an older adapter. You
must
use the MUA.
You won’t see the MUA listed in the base HEMTT IETM or operator’s manual.
There are no procedures for lifting and towing with the MUA while using basic
M984 or M984A1 HEMTT wreckers.
So to recap,
don’t
use the MUA with basic and -A1 model M984 HEMTT
wreckers. You
can
use the MUA with M984A2 and M984A4
HEMTT wreckers. You
must
use the MUA while lift towing
FMTVs with M984A2 and M984A4 HEMTT wreckers.

HOOaH!
I get to tow
