Starting Operations
NOTE
Special winterization equipment is provided for the truck when protection against extreme cold weather, 0
to -65F (-17.8 to -55C) is required. For general information on winterization equipment and processing,
refer to TM 9-207.
1.
The M876 truck should be sheltered whenever possible, to protect it from freezing, ice or snow. Sheltering
the truck also minimizes cold starting problems.
2.
If the truck cannot be sheltered, it should be parked with the front facing away from the wind.
3.
Prepare a footing of boards, brush or tree limbs for the tires, to prevent them from freezing to the ground.
Use hay or straw, if available.
