e. Rotation. Rotate items in accordance with any rotational plan that will keep the equipment in an
operational condition and reduce the maintenance effort.
4-66. PROCEDURES FOR COMMON COMPONENTS AND MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
a. Tires. Visually inspect tires during each walkaround 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 a crayon for checking at the next inspection.
b. Air Lines and Air Reservoir. Drain air lines and air reservoir of condensation and leave drain valve
open. Attach a caution tag, annotated to provide for closing of drain valve when the equipment is exercised.
Place tags 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.
4-67. 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.
4-68. PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT FOR SHIPMENT.
a. Refer to FM 55-21, TM 55-601, and TM 743-200-1 for additional instructions on processing, storage,
and shipment of materiel.
b. Semitrailers 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 semitrailer is received and has already been processed for domestic shipment, as indicated on
DD Form 1397, the semitrailer 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 needed repairs. A report of these
conditions will be submitted by the unit commander for action by an ordnance maintenance unit.
