PREPARATION FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE
1.
Thoroughly clean machine.
2.
Perform Operator Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) (TM 5-3805-248-10).
3.
Perform Unit PMCS (WP 0019 00 and WP 0020 00).
4.
Schedule next PMCS on ULLS-G.
5.
Inspect machine for corrosion. Use touch-up paint where necessary to prevent rust.
6.
Coat all exposed hydraulic cylinder rods with GAA grease to protect polished surfaces.
NOTE
If machine has accumulated very low mileage since its last scheduled lubrication service, do not drain and
refill transmission and front axle; skip step 7.
7.
Drain and refill transmission, differential and wheel end final drives (WP 0019 00 and WP 0020 00).
8.
Drain engine crankcase and refill with recommended oil (WP 0019 00 and WP 0020 00).
9.
Operate engine and treat upper cylinders by spraying recommended engine oil into air intake for about two minutes.
Open throttle momentarily, shut down engine, and continue spraying oil into air intake until engine comes to a stop.
10.
Completely drain fuel tank. Mix a solution of diesel fuel (Item 14 or 15, WP 0339 00) and flushing oil per instructions
supplied with flushing oil. Pour mixture into fuel tank. Run engine for at least 10 minutes with this solution.
11.
Check engine coolant to ensure coolant has correct mixture for expected temperatures (TB 750-651).
12.
Seal all openings in engine, including air intake, exhaust outlet and crankcase breather tube.
13.
Loosen or remove drive belts (WP 0053 00 and WP 0056 00).
14.
Ensure battery disconnect switch is in OFF position (TM 5-3805-248-10).
15.
Remove batteries (WP 0103 00). Clean batteries and ensure they are fully charged.
16.
Completely drain fuel tank.
17.
Place blocking under axles to remove weight from tires.
18.
Fill in Form DD 1397 completely and attach to a conspicuous part of machine.
PREPARATION FOR RETURN TO SERVICE FROM LONG-TERM STORAGE
1.
Ensure tires are inflated to 45 psi (310 kPa).
2.
Remove blocking from under axles.
3.
Remove GAA grease from exposed hydraulic cylinder rods. Wipe rods clean with a rag (Item 35, WP 0339 00) dipped
in lubricating oil (Item 26, WP 0339 00).
4.
Fill fuel tank with fuel (TM 5-3805-248-10).
5.
Check oil and hydraulic fluid levels in engine crankcase, transmission, front axle differential, final drives and hydraulic
reservoir.
