radley units originally felded with the fre suppression system (FSS) test set, NSN
4910-01-165-0500, should note that the test set has been upgraded and now has a
new name and NSN.
Bradleys that were reconfgured by adding the Bradley Urban Survivability Kit
(BUSK II) modifcation had a simulator valve, NSN 4931-01-439-3314, added to
the existing FSS test set.
As a result, the FSS test set was renamed the automatic fre
extinguishing system (AFES) test set, NSN 4940-01-565-8793.
Unit property book and hand receipt holders should update their records to re±ect
these changes. TACOM is creating new data plates to go on the AFES test set
carrying cases.

rewmen, the two side personnel access doors on your M88A1 recovery vehicle are
really heavy. That can make them tough to open at the best o² times.
Don’t make them even harder to open by ²orgetting to lube the top and bottom hinges
o² the doors regularly.
The lubrication instructions in WP 0097 o² TM 9-2350-256-20-1 (Nov 05) say to
lube the door’s torsion bar every three months with GAA. You’ll fnd the lube points
on the top and bottom o² each hinge. It’s also a good idea to lube the hinges themselves
with some oil or spray lubricant. A²ter lubing the doors, swing
them open and closed a ²ew times to help spread the lube.
