This work package contains special instructions for operating and servicing the IBC under unusual conditions.
In addition to performing all normal Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), special care must be
taken in regard to cleaning and lubrication when extremes in temperature, humidity, and terrain conditions are
present or anticipated. Proper cleaning, lubrication, storage, and handling ensures proper operation and function
and also guards against excessive wear.
OPERATION IN COLD WEATHER
CAUTION
To ensure that the IBC is not damaged, approved practices and precautions must be followed.
FM 9-207 contains general cold weather information. Failure to comply may result in damage
to equipment.
1.
Extensive preparation of materiel scheduled for operation in extreme cold is necessary. Refer to FM 9-207
and FM 21-305.
2.
Refer to (WP 0034) for proper lubrication during cold weather conditions.
END OF TASK
OPERATION IN HOT WEATHER
1.
Refer to (WP 0034) for proper lubrication during extreme heat conditions. Adequate lubrication is essential.
Heat will cause oil films to evaporate, resulting in inadequate lubrication.
2.
Provide adequate protection for exposed rubber surfaces.
END OF TASK
OPERATION IN HIGH HUMIDITY AND SALTWATER AREAS
1.
Moist and salty areas can destroy the rust preventative qualities of oils and greases. Exposed surfaces should
be cleaned and lubricated daily. Refer to (WP 0034) for proper lubrication in high humidity and saltwater
areas.
2.
When equipment is inactive, unpainted parts should be coated with lubricating oil.
