e. Rotation. Rotate items in accordance with any rotational plan that will keep equipment in an
operational condition and reduce the maintenance effort.
4-55. PROCEDURES FOR COMMON COMPONENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
a. Tires. Visually inspect tires during each walk-around inspection. This inspection includes checking
with a tire gage. Inflate, repair, or replace as necessary those found to be low, damaged, or excessively worn.
Mark inflated and repaired tires with chalk for checking at the next inspection.
b. Seals. Seals may develop leaks during storage, or shortly thereafter. If leaking persists, refer to the
applicable maintenance section in this manual for corrective maintenance procedures.
4-56. REMOVAL OF EQUIPMENT FROM ADMINISTRATIVE STORAGE.
a. Activation. Restore the equipment to normal operating condition in accordance with the instructions
b. Servicing. Resume the maintenance service schedule in effect at the commencement of storage, or
service the equipment before the scheduled dates in order to produce a staggered maintenance workload.
4-57. PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR SHIPMENT.
a. Refer to TM 55-200, TM 55-601, and TM 743-200-1 for additional instructions on processing,
storage, and shipment of materiel.
b. Trailers that have been removed from storage for shipment do not have to be reprocessed if they will
reach their destination within the administrative storage period. Reprocess only if inspection reveals any
corrosion, or if anticipated in-transit weather conditions make it necessary.
c. When a trailer is received and has already been processed for domestic shipment, as indicated on
DD Form 1397, the trailer does not have to be reprocessed for storage unless corrosion and deterioration are
found during the inspection upon receipt. List on SF 364 all discrepancies found because of poor preservation,
packaging, packing, marking, handling, loading, storage, or excessive preservation. Repairs that cannot be
handled by the receiving unit must have tags attached listing the needed repairs. A report of these conditions
will be submitted by the unit commander for action by an ordnance maintenance unit.
