CORROSION PROTECTION
00023
1.
General Instructions.
a.
To ensure a long operational life for the semitrailer, the following is presented to assist maintenance personnel. This is
not meant to supersede or replace current support operations or authorized publications. Worldwide operations
present many environmental impacts on the semitrailer from salt water to ice/snow melt chemicals.
b.
Areas of conflict have their own ways of ventilating and damaging the semitrailer. All these impacts add up to
shortened operational life.
2.
Tips.
a.
Keep the semitrailer clean, which will allow for more complete inspection of welds and components. Use low-
pressure water, cleaning detergent, and brushes for cleaning.
b.
Flush out undercarriages, suspensions, and wheel ends with clean, low-pressure water if operating in a salt
environment, especially fording, as soon as the mission allows.
c.
Keep debris out of wheel ends and twistlock pockets.
d.
Annually clean deck wood and roll/spray on boiled linseed oil or a good commercial UV wood protector. Apply to
top areas of deck wood.
