SUSPENSION
00067
Hutchens suspension does not require lubrication, but new replacement suspension hardware (nuts/threads) should be oiled
before assembly and a wet torque applied. In-service torque values should have dry torque values applied.

GENERAL SEMITRAILER LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS
00067
NOTE
High-pressure or steam wash is not authorized for the semitrailer.
1.
The oil requirements for the semitrailer consist of only two types of lubricant, OEA and OE/HDO, for oil can
points. Variants of the lubricating oil are authorized only due to temperature variations.
2.
The grease requirements for the semitrailer consists of only GAA. Current GAA stocks are 100% synthetic and allow for
extended service intervals as long as seals and gaskets are not leaking grease.
3.
All fittings and lubrication points should be wiped clean prior to being lubed.
4.
If a padlock is used, make sure it is lubricated and operational.
5.
Reference TM 43-0139 for semitrailer painting and TB 43-0209 for stencil identification marking.
END OF TASK
FORDING OPERATIONS
00067
1.
Use common sense. If the mission/situation does not allow for after-fording inspection, inspect the semitrailer
when the mission allows.
2.
Snub the brakes three or four times to dry them out after fording.
3.
If hubs were hot prior to fording there is a good chance water may have been sucked in through the hub cap. If cold or
warm to touch they should be all right.
4.
If hubs and seals showed any signs of leakage prior to fording they may be contaminated by water after fording
semitrailer.
5.
When mission allows, carefully remove hub caps to inspect for water contamination. If gasket is damaged, it
must be replaced.
6.
Use low-pressure fresh water to flush out all salt contamination, including road salt, from semitrailer to prevent corrosion.
