THE PRINCIPAL ENGINEER FOR LAND EQUIPMENT’S REGULAR
UPDATE ON VARIOUS ITEMS OF INTEREST RELATING TO
EQUIPMENT, SUPPORT, SAFETY AND ENGINEERING.

Welcome to the Spring edition of KiT, the principal engineer is on leave, so you have
the pleasure of the chief engineer writing the intro to KiT this time. In the winter
edition we mentioned an upcoming change in legislation for wheeled vehicles. This
has now come into force and tyres 10 years or older are prohibited from use on the
front axles of goods vehicles with a maximum gross weight exceeding 3,500 kg, buses
and coaches and all axles (in single configuration) on minibuses. Following all of your
hard work to populate the required information on JAMES, legislation exemptions are
now in place for platforms most severely affected by the change in legislation. EnVE
00347 on JAMES has all the details on which platforms have an exemption in place
so please have a read if you haven’t already.

In this edition the importance of following the information contained in the AESP’s is
mentioned a few times. I know from personal experience that it’s worth refamiliarizing
yourselves with the information contained in them, they are regularly updated and
sometimes the way we have always done things is no longer the recommended way.
This is why the Form 10 process is so important, It’s one of the main ways we keep the
AESP’s up to date and to make sure your experiences maintaining and using the
equipment can benefit other users, so if you notice something that is wrong or have
a better way of doing a particular task please let us know via a Form 10 – there is
currently an interim F10 process in place; see the JAMES home page article for
further details.

I hope you are all doing well in this lockdown, at least there is the rugby and cricket
to watch and if like me motorsports is your thing, you have been keeping up to date
with the new Moto GP bikes and F1 car launches. I know plenty of us find lockdown
difficult so if you are struggling, reach out to friends’ family or support organisations,
you are not alone.

Finally, I’d like to thank all the contributors to KiT and I hope you find their articles
really useful.

AC CR2 driver’s wiper motor
TR
VY
EA
H

The CR2 driver’s wiper motor and gearbox is prone to failure - current usage is 21 per year.
Most of the faults are caused by water ingress and lack of use. The output drive shaft
bearings in the lower photos had failed – possibly because the wiper mechanism was
seized or unable to move due to a restriction.
Frequent exercising IAW 2350-P-102-601 Table 3 9 After use maint) Serial 29.5.1 ensures
that all aspects of the wiper mechanism are free to move.
Drivers are reminded to report any failures immediately.
High pressure water jets should not be directed at the drivers’ sight or any other
optical devices.
Inoperative wiper motors and gearboxes can be stripped at L2 provided that care is taken
to re-assemble all of the parts correctly if the unit is to be returned to E0 stock.

PUNCK
All PUNCK should be at Issue 17 or have had AESP
4940-P-130-201 mod instruction no. 3 embodied.
The NSN for the in-line filter is 4330998952788.
The NSN for the dowty sealing washer is 5330999079270.
All PUNCK serial no.s should be recorded on JAMES
along with the calibration date and proof test date.
All PUNCK must be returned for proof test every
5 years by returning to E0 stock.
All SLUCK should have been withdrawn – the use
of SLUCK is not covered by the safety case. All units
holding SLUCK should request the issue of a PUNCK
as a replacement.

PUNCK NSN is 4940998318118 • SLUCK NSN is 4940993010584

Top roller security

TR
AC
K
S
This top roller was found on inspection to have the inner top roller wheel detached from
the hub.
There is clear evidence that the wheel had been rotating for some time whilst not secured
to the hub. The top roller was fitted to a CRARRV.
The Qty 6 socket head screws used to secure the wheel to the hub are tightened to 70
Nm. The socket head screws should be inspected prior to fitting to check that the threads
are in good condition.
5120991398718 is a ½” drive 8 mm hex bit used to tighten the socket head screws.
5305991351392 is the socket head screw.
Drivers are reminded that the running gear and
tracks are checked for obstructions during Table 1
maintenance, and the following are checked for
damage, security, leaks and signs of overheating
during Table 2 (During use maint):
• Final drives.
• Guide rollers, roller guide bracket bolt checkpoints.
• Roadwheels, nut checkpoints and hubs.
• Idler wheels and hubs.
• Hydrogas units.

CR2 Fume extractor balance weights

The socket detailed in AESP 2350-P-102-522 Chapter 14-1-1 used to
secure the balance weights to the fume extractor is identified
as 5120993495284. This socket is no longer available
and has been replaced by:
5120014284889 – Socket Extra deep ½” square
drive 24 mm AF.

The original socket is accounted for in ETS 03638

Serial 1.1 (GUN, 120-MM, TANK L30 (CHARM)).
ETS 03638 and AESP 2350-P-102-522 Chapter 14-1-1 will be amended.
This socket is a C Class item and there is A1 stock available.

CV12 engine starter & ring gear damage
The CR2 CV12 main engine starter motor
operation is inhibited by VICS if the following
conditions are met:
• Gear selector is NOT neutral.
• Gear engaged is NOT neutral.
• Engine speed >760 rev/min.
• Emergency Stop Switch (ESS) is operated.
There is an additional interlock that
prevents starter motor operation if the
main engine generator is online.
This means that the starter motors could be
engaged with the engine running at a speed
lower than 760 rpm – this will cause damage
to the starter motor pinion and flywheel ring
gear. The starter motors fitted to the engine
in the photos were inoperative – the damage
to the ring gear was discovered when the
starters were removed (the flywheel was
replaced by 5 Bn REME).
Drivers are reminded that the correct main engine start sequence as detailed in
AESP 2350-P-102-201 Chapter 1-11 must be followed. The starter motors must
not be operated if the engine is running.
AESP 2350-P-102-601 Table 5 (CR2 maint schedule) mandates that individual
starter motor operation is checked with the engine at normal working
temperature by means of the dual start switch. The dual start switch must
always be in the central position unless one of the starters is inop.

CV12 crankshaft

VY
TR
AC
K
S
The gear on the end of the ME crankshaft (see photo) drives an idler gear which then drives
the generator drive gear which is linked to the generator by sprockets and a triplex chain.
The generator drive chain is tensioned automatically by engine oil pressure. A guide
prevents the chain from oscillating as it leaves the drive sprocket and protects the
flywheel housing.
Sudden electrical shock loads on the generator (rotating at approx 7,000 rpm at engine
max revs) are transmitted to the crankshaft via the chain. The generator input shaft is in
the form of a torsion bar that is designed to absorb shock loadings.
The damage to this Crankshaft gear was caused by the chain guide. The 2 screws that
retain the guide had sheared flush with the timing case allowing the chain guide to become
trapped between the crankshaft and the generator idler gear. The guide was still between
both sets of teeth preventing the engine from rotating when the engine was stripped for L4
repair by CAT. It is likely that the chain guide had been subjected to repeated impacts from
the chain.
The main engine generator must be online before
any electrical loads are switched on to minimise
the shock loadings to the crankshaft and
generator drive chain. Para 8.14 (ME start
procedure) in the CR2 201 chapter 1-11 states:
• Set the RUN/START switch to the RUN (up)
position and check that the ME GEN warning
amber LED has extinguished.

APU Coolant hoses

The new pattern ESW APU coolant hoses with a steel braided external cover are identified
as:
• 4720992171465 • 4720992171467
These NSNs are listed in the CR2 711 Chapter 2-2-2 and CRARRV Gen Inst No. 121. These
hoses replace the old pattern rubber hoses and will fit to the ESW APU, APU 2000 and
The CRARRV P4.108 GUE.
The long-term plan is to supply the ESW APU with modern self-sealing couplings to
connect to the main engine cooling system - this will require the self-sealers on the main
engine to be changed.
Maintainers are reminded that correct bleeding of the APU cooling system is critical to the
durability of the assembly as the rectifier diodes and PCB are water cooled as well as the
engine. Pressurising the cooling system IAW AESP 2350-P-102-522 Chapter 5 aids the
bleeding process and ensures that all air is removed from the system.

CR2 Catastrophic track failure
VY
EA
H

This track failed catastrophically whilst being driven. The track history is not documented
on JAMES and the track usage is unknown. The end and centre connector bolts were
working loose prior to the failure – this was identified by the driver and 100% torque checks
were carried out. The sequence of events prior to the failure was:
• The centre connector bolt worked loose, and the centre connector fell off
• The inner end connector bolt worked loose, the top hat and end connector fell off
• The remaining end connector failed as shown in photo 2

The wear to the track pins in photo 3 suggests that there had been movement between the
inner end connector and the track pin – this can only happen if the top hat has fallen out.
The track was inspected by the track manufacturer and a dead link was identified (photo 4).
The end connector wear (within limits) indicates that the track usage is in excess of 2,500
km. The sprockets have been changed and the wear suggests an approximate sprocket
usage of 1,000 km (photo 5).
Fleet managers are reminded that all track checks must be completed IAW the 201 and
601 and that all maint is recorded on JAMES. The track history, including the number of
links changed for bush collapse, sprocket changes and complete track changes must
be recorded on JAMES so that the track usage is maintained, and platform safety is
not compromised.

URGENT-TACCIS RETURNS DIRECTION

WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT UNITS ARE NO LONGER TO SEND TACCIS MATERIAL DIRECT TO
CC001G. All Units are directed to raise GAZ requests in MJDI for any TacCIS item that is either
surplus to requirement, in need of repair or disposal.
The BATCIS Disposal and Backloading Instructions v3.0 is being updated in line with the inventory
transition from the extant Contractor Logistics Support arrangement and move of warehousing
arrangements to Team Leidos, 2020DIN04-169 refers to the transition activity ongoing. A revised
Disposal and Backloading Instruction will be distributed imminently.
All queries regarding the above are to be directed to the BATCIS Supply Multiuser Mailbox
(ISSDev-BATCIS-Sup-GroupMailbox@mod.gov.uk)

RF Module NSN Change

When replacing the RF Module on the VHF radio and the serial number is changed please inform
BATCIS and JDMT (Joint Defence Marking Team) as directed in the IETP.
The IETP V52 BCIP 5.6 RF Module change incorrectly instructs users to fit the BCIP 5.5
NSN label. Please ignore this instruction. The NSN for BCIP 5.6 is UK PRC 355 RF Modified is
5820-99-843-7478 and the NSN for BCIP 5.6 is UK VRC 358 RF Modified is 5820-99-480-0973.
Please ensure the NSNs being fitted match the BCIP baseline of the radios.

To make tea you need water!

The AS90 team has tested and found that the 2 fitted Drinking
Water Containers are safe to use provided the correct procedures
are used. ASP Cats 201 and 601 have been amended to provide
those procedures and include them in the maintenance schedule.
However, it is quite labour intensive and requires Combat Health
Duties trained personnel for certain tasks, so dispensation is
given in Cat 111 to remove and store the tanks when not
required for training or operations.

CREW HEATER TESTING

The diesel fuelled crew heater fitted to non-EEP guns
cannot be tested with the APU on the ground-hop kit.
Heater tests should only be attempted when the APU
is fully installed in the gun.

EPORTING OF THE DETAILS

When an accident/incident happens, how we complete the 510A reporting form is vitally important.
An example of the sort of Accident Summary that can be received is;
Summary Of Incident/Accident
WHAT* Fall Down Stairs THIS IS NO GOOD AT ALL
HOW* Slipped & Lost footing TO THE INVESTIGATION
WHY* Wet Stairs

• Where did the incident take place? • What aid was administered to the injured party?
• What was the root cause of the incident? • What could have been done to try to prevent a
• How was the incident handled? similar occurrence?

Summary Of Incident/Accident
WHAT* Fall Downstairs - The incident occurred when Mr Smith was walking down the
main stairs (entrance end of building, near café) in Blenheim building when he
fell down the stairs appearing to injure his ankle. People nearby tried to help
but it was quickly established that he could not stand or put weight on the left
ankle. A first aider called and attended to Mr Smith while an ambulance was
called and attended within 15 mins. He was taken to Salisbury Hospital for
further treatment.

HOW* Slipped & Lost footing - When asked Mr Smith reported that as he walked
down the stairs he felt his left foot slip from under him. Causing him to lose his
balance and tumble down the remaining part of the stairs, approx 2m.

WHY* Wet stairs - Upon inspection a wet area was discovered on the stair Mr Smith
slipped on, possibly a spilt drink. There was no yellow safety sign to indicate a
spill and no evidence the spill was reported to anyone before the accident.
Photos of the area were taken to show the cause of the incident and
the spillage was then cleared up to stop any further accidents.
i hope these
accident reports are
The quicker these forms are submitted after the event, the better recall detailed enough...
of the details tend to be.
These extra details can make all the difference in how quickly the
accident /incident can be investigated, how well lessons can be
learned and in the event of any legal action, how quickly this
can be resolved.
These details could help stop a future event happening and
possibly a life.

JCRs
There is still a high number of demands that are made without a JCR being completed.
In addition, the narrative on JCR EFRs can be too brief and therefore not give any
detail of the actual failure mode and failure diagnosis process used. The PT and
other stakeholders use your JCR EFRs to conduct trend analysis and justify future
improvements and investment. If the JCR is missing or inadequate this can either
delay or cancel the demand. Finally, Units are reminded to include hard copies when
returning E0 items for repair and ensuring that serial numbers are included on the JCR.

TQNs
NSN: 9905-99-378-5189 is the side indicator that was retro-fitted onto the Panther TES
variant. However, the installation instruction had not been added to the AESP 412.
This will now be released on the next publication update.

OIL FILTER OIL-ABSORBING SOCK

There have been a number of instances where the front left-hand brake has become
contaminated with engine oil following removal of the engine oil filter.
Please be aware that an oil-absorbing sock (NSN: 2940-99-902-4510) is available and
should be placed over the filter prior to removal in order to absorb any oil that spills.
Although the sock currently forms part of the vehicle
STTE, it is recommended that a quantity of 10 is held
locally in stores that can be readily accessed by
workshop personnel. These are consumable /
disposable items. Future aspiration is to include
a sock with each filter.

Delamination of Outer Skin Doors

On our last visit to Tidworth, the maintainers mentioned that there were a few instances
of the door delaminating, the Fibre glass on the door are cosmetic and should just be
glued back on with any type of epoxy resin as PT does not support the removal of them.

LAND ROVER
All users of the Land Rover Wolf FFR.
Land Rover Radio Batteries, Engineering Hygiene and Safe practices.
Recently there have been some instances where the battery terminal connections
have come lose or the introduction of items entering the Battery box contacting
terminals and has resulted in arching or fire.
The Land Rover team would like to
remind users of the importance of
tight connections on the batteries
and the battery box front cover
(item 28) that must be fitted to
avoid items entering the box and
contacting the terminals.

LAND ROVER WOLF AND BFA

The team at DES has seen an increase of wiper motor failures and have linked the failure to several key areas within the
wiper system. The team request that users who experience a failure check the Rack, Pinion and working mechanisms
attached to the motor to ensure that they have not contributed to the failure. A build-up of debris within the system puts
extra strain on the motor which eventually causes it to fail. Please if you experience a failure conduct a detailed failure
report ensuring you document the areas checked and the outcome, also if you have issues regarding the quality of other
wiper system parts insure this is reported via JAMES.
Engine Failure reporting. All users submitting a JAMES Component Report are reminded that the report is to contain
enough information to allow the engineering team to accurately conduct trend analysis. The report must contain: the
issue, the effect the issue has caused, the actions that led to the failure, any failure diagnosis conducted, all serial
numbers and if any components have been replaced. All reports are subject to scrutiny.

HMTV
Bell housing:
The PT have been made aware of damage which has been caused to the gearbox bell housing during installation. It is
believed that this has been caused due to pulling the gearbox bell housing up with the use of the M10x40 bell housing
bolts instead of aligning the gearbox and bell housing prior to fitment of the bolts. This has therefore
rendered the gearbox unserviceable. The PT would like to remind users when fitting a gearbox,
ensure that AESP 2320-D-104-522, Chap 3-5-2 is adhered too.
Turbo and intercooling hose clamp:
The PT have been made aware of issues regarding loss of power due to wasted boost
pressure as well as accelerated engine wear due to dirt ingress. It is believed the issue
has been caused by the hose clamps on the turbo and intercooler piping not being
correctly fitted. The PT would like to remind users that on fitment of the stainless steel
hose clamps, the centre piece is fitted within the clamp (figure 1) as this will keep the
hose round and therefore reducing the chances of turbo loss and dirt egress into the
engine from occurring.

Both will now also be carried out, whether the equipment is used or not.
Table 7 –Time/Usage Maintenance
Serial 44 - Replace VELS battery pack
A note will be added to ensure battery is replaced regardless of condition.
Maintainers are also reminded to sign off on JAMES that the VELS battery has
been replaced.

VEHICLE JACK
The Husky vehicle jack, provided as part of the Complete
EquipmentSchedule (CES), is now obsolete and no longer
available for purchase.
When requiring a replacement Husky vehicle jack, units
are to demand NSN 5120-99-135-5737 quoting the VRN
of the vehicle it is required for, failure to provide this
information will result in delays when issuing.
Additional information is available via ENvE 0330,
which can be found on the JAMES rolling wall.

Introduction of a Chain Hoist for HSU & Final

Drive removal

Revised Procedure
When using the Lifting Auxiliary Jib to remove/fit Hydrogas Suspension Units and Final Drives a
safety issue could arise caused by raising the height of the auxiliary jib before it was clear of the
vehicle. This was covered under SNvE 00660.
To address this safety risk, a new chain hoist has been added to the procedure to allow fine
height adjustments to be made. This significantly reduces the possibility of raising the Auxiliary
Jib too high. The revised procedures are in the General Instruction (GI) referenced below, which
has now been published on TDOL. The new procedures have been highlighted by putting them
within boxes in the GI, so that the changes are easily identified.
The IETP Data Modules for HSU and Final Drive removal will be revised when the IETP is next
updated in Apr 21.

Items to be Demanded
The chain hoist below must be demanded as soon as possible by all Units that hold TERRIER.
Navy are the Single Item Owner for this chain hoist, and therefore it needs to be demanded on MJDI.
Chain Hoist - NSN 3950-12-358-8077

Surface Clearance Device Potential Clash
with FLS

Potential Front Loader System (FLS) and Surface Clearance Device (SCD) Clash
Caution! During a recent trial using the SCD it was noticed that if the FLS is raised to almost
maximum elevation whilst the crowd/dump ram is extended, the skids fitted to the SCD can come into
contact with the FLS frame. Incorrect sequence movement of the FLS may result in the skids of the SCD
locking against the FLS frame causing potential FLS and / or SCD equipment damage. The SCD locking
against the FLS frame may also cause the obscuring of the driver's field of view, resulting in a loss of
vehicle control.
If the potential clash is not spotted and the operator continues to drive the demand
for FLS elevation or to extend the dump/crowd cylinder damage could be
caused. When manually adjusting the position of the FLS, the
operators (Driver & Commander) must be aware of the position
of the rear of the SCD skids in relation to the FLS and stop
movement before the clash occurs.

Remedial Action
If the clash is likely to happen, release the hand controller
STOP!
demand, re-adjust the FLS cylinder positions and continue
with the mission.

Actions Required
Units and establishments holding Surface Clearance
Devices are to brief all Terrier crews and maintainers on the
potential clash conditions and the potential for equipment damage if this condition occurs.
All Terrier users are to familiarize themselves with General Instruction No. 003.

MASTIFF 1.95/2 & 3 Modification Number 61
Removal of Rear Pintle Towing Assembly
This modification has been produced as towing with these vehicles produces an
increase risk to egress. The rear doors are required for egress of personnel in the
event of an accident. Towing a trailer or vehicle behind the MASTIFF could easily
block the rear doors in the event of a crash. This was deemed too great a risk and
therefore, the decision was taken to remove the towing pintle to prevent towing
with the vehicles.

MRW Rear Step

The Rear Step assembly (NSN: 2540-99-853-4895) will not
be issued without a JCR detailing the failure, these steps are
frequently being damaged whilst on exercise and it is vital
that the PT can monitor failures of this item.
