PROCEDURES FOR COMMON COMPONENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
a. Tires. Visually inspect tires during each walk-around inspection. This inspection includes checking tires 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. Air Lines. Drain air lines of condensation by removing air filter plug. Attach a caution tag, annotated to
provide for installation of the plug when the equipment is exercise. Place tag in a conspicuous location.
c. 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.
4-71.
REMOVAL OF EQUIPMENT FROM ADMINISTRATIVE STORAGE.
a. Activation. Restore the equipment to normal operating condition in accordance with the instructions
contained in Chapter 4, Section II.
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.
4-72.
PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR SHIPMENT.
a. Refer to TM 55-21, TM 55-601, and TM 743-200-1 for additional instruction on processing, storage, and
shipment of materiel.
b. Trailers that have been removed from storage for shipment do not have to be repressed 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 Form 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 commanded for
action by an ordnance maintenance unit.
