1-5. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORROSION PROTECTION OF THE M871A3 SEMITRAILER (Cont.)
CORROSION PROTECTION:
If undercarriage is damaged or requires repair, undercoat the undercarriage, frame, fillets, gussets or
any other unprotected area re-coat with the following:
Rust Inhibitor:
(12)
16 oz. Bottles
5 gallon container
55 gallon drum
55 gallon drum with applicator and instruction video
This rust inhibitor is safe and contains no CFCs or hazmat. It will not bind hinges. It will not harm
painted surfaces (to include CARC), plastics, rubber, glass or wiring. So if your aim with the applicator
is not good do not worry about it. Clean it off CARC since it may add a shine/glare, which may wreck
your whole day under certain conditions.
KINGPIN AND BOLSTER PLATE:
a.
If the kingpin is replaced inspect the interior structure for rust.
b.
Clean and protect the interior with rust inhibitor, do not plug up bolster plate drain holes.
c.
Make sure all welds are protected both inside and out.
d.
Inspect the kingpin and bolster plate in accordance with PMCS requirements.
PROTECTION SCHEDULING:
It is a good idea to periodically take a look at the undercoating especially after off-road operations. The
following is suggested:
a. Monthly take a look at the condition of the undercoating.
b. Annually re-apply the rust inhibitor to insure the semitrailer is protected.
c. If operating in a salt or road chemical environment you should inspect/protect these areas as soon
as possible.
