PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT
When shipping the 12-ton, lowbed, semitrailer M270A1, the officer in charge of preparing the ship-
ment will be responsible for furnishing the semitrailer, including on-vehicle materiel (ovm), to the
carrier in a serviceable condition; properly cleaned, preserved, painted, and lubricated as pre-
scribed in TM9-247.
REMOVAL OF PRESERVATIVES BEFORE SHIPMENT
The removal of preservatives is the responsibility of organizations receiving shipments. Personnel
withdrawing semitrailers from storage for domestic shipment must not remove preservatives other than
to ensure that material is complete and serviceable. If it has been determined that preservatives have
been removed, they must be restored to the prescribed level prior to shipment.
ARMY SHIPPING DOCUMENTS
Prepare all Army shipping documents accompanying the semitrailer in accordance with
DA PAM 738-750.
LIMITED STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
General
Semitrailers received for storage and already processed for domestic shipment must not be reproces-
sed unless inspection performed on receipt of semitrailers reveals corrosion, deterioration, etc.
Completely process semitrailers upon receipt directly from manufacturing facilities, or if the proces-
sing data recorded on the tag indicates that preservatives have been rendered ineffective by operation
or freight shipping damage. Semitrailers to be prepared for limited storage must be given a limited
technical inspection and processed as prescribed in TM9-247.
