Rocky Terrain, Fording
EXTREME COLD
0006
1.
Startup.
a.
Be careful when placing the semitrailer in motion after a shutdown. Congealed lubricants can cause part failure.
b.
Tires and ground boards may freeze to the ground or tire flat spotting may occur if tires are underinflated.
c.
Brake shoes may freeze to the brake drums and need to be heated to prevent damage to mating surfaces.
d.
Refer to FM 9-207 and FM 21-305 for special instructions on driving hazards in snow and ice that may be
encountered during extreme cold weather conditions.
2.
Shutdown.
a.
For short periods, park in a sheltered spot out of the wind; for longer shutdown periods, if high, dry ground is not
available, prepare a footing of planks or brush.
b.
Remove all buildup of ice and snow as soon as possible after shutdown.
c.
Cover and shield the semitrailer with canvas covers if available. Keep the ends of covers off the ground to keep them
from freezing to the ground. Drain air/moisture from air reservoirs (WP 0018).
END OF TASK
EXTREME HEAT
0006
1.
Refer to TB 43-0239 and FM 90-3 for maintenance and operations, respectively, under desert conditions.
2.
Do not park the semitrailer in the sun for long periods of time. Heat and sunlight shorten the life of tires.
3.
Park the semitrailer where it will get maximum protection from heat, sun, and dust.
