1-3. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL
The HET Tractor has a total service lie of 20 years which allows for extended periods of operation in a
corrosive environment. A corrosive environment includes exposure to high humidity, salt spray, road-
deicing chemicals, gravel damage, and atmospheric contamination. No action beyond normal washing
and repair of damaged areas is necessary to control corrosion. To prevent moisture accumulation, drain
holes are provided on structural and sheet metal areas where necessary, and stowage boxes are
provided with seals and baffled drains.
