WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE (EXHAUST GAS) CAN CAUSE DEATH.
Carbon monoxide is without color or smell, but can cause death. Breathing air
with carbon monoxide produces symptoms of headache, dizziness, loss of
muscular control, a sleepy feeling, and coma. Brain damage or death can result
from heavy exposure. Carbon monoxide occurs in the exhaust fumes of
fuel-burning heaters and internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide can
become dangerously concentrated under conditions of no ventilation.
Precautions must be followed to ensure crew safety when the arctic engine
heater or engine of any vehicle is operated for any purpose.
1. DO NOT operate arctic engine heater or engine of vehicle in a closed place

without proper ventilation.
2. DO NOT drive any vehicle with inspection plates, cover plates, or engine
compartment covers removed unless necessary for maintenance purposes.
3. BE ALERT at all times during vehicle operation for exhaust odors and
exposure symptoms. If either are present, IMMEDIATELY VENTILATE
personnel compartments. If symptoms persist, remove affected crew to fresh
air and keep warm. DO NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL EXERCISE. If necessary, give
artificial respiration and get immediate medical attention. For artificial
respiration, refer to FM 21-11.
4. BE AWARE that the gas particulate filter unit or the field protection mask for
nuclear-biological-chemical protection WILL NOT offer safety from carbon
monoxide poisoning.
THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING IS GOOD

VENTILATION.
WARNING
Adhesives, solvents, and sealing compounds can burn easily, can give off harmful
vapors, and are harmful to skin and clothing. To avoid injury or death, keep away
from open fire and use in well-ventilated area. If adhesive, solvent, or sealing
compound gets on skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
WARNING
Never use the parking brake for normal braking or wheels will lock up causing
severe skid. Skidding vehicle could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Fuel is very flammable and can explode easily. To avoid serious injury or death,
keep fuel away from open fire and keep fire extinguisher within easy reach when
working with fuel. Do not work on fuel system when engine is hot. Fuel can be
ignited by hot engine. When working with fuel, post signs that read NO
SMOKING WITHIN 50 FEET of vehicle.
WARNING
Remove rings, bracelets, wristwatches, neck chains, and any other jewelry before
working around vehicle. Jewelry can catch on equipment and cause injury, or
may short across an electrical circuit and cause severe burns or electrical shock.
a
TM 9-2320-279-34-3
WARNING
The radiator is very hot and pressurized during vehicle operation. Let radiator
cool before removing cap. Failure to do so can result in serious burns.
WARNING
The exhaust pipe and muffler can become very hot during vehicle operation. Be
careful not to touch these parts with bare hands, or allow body to come in
contact with pipe or muffler. Exhaust system parts can become hot enough to
cause serious burns.
WARNING
Do not use trailer brakes as parking brake. Trailer brakes may not hold a loaded
vehicle and trailer on a grade. A runaway vehicle may cause severe personal
injury or death.
WARNING
Always use seatbelts when operating vehicle. Failure to use seatbelt can result in
serious injury in case of accident.
WARNING
Avoid quick, jerking, winch operation. Keep other personnel well away from
vehicles involved in winching operations. A snapped cable or shifting load can
cause serious injury or death.
WARNING
Always wear heavy gloves when handling winch cables. Never let cable run
through hands; frayed cables can cut. Never operate winch with less than five
wraps of cable on winch drum.
WARNING
If operating crane under powerlines, do not allow vehicle to contact high-voltage
connections. Death on contact can result. If possible, keep one hand away from
equipment to reduce the hazard of current flowing through vital organs of the
body.
WARNING
When working inside the vehicle with power off, be sure to ground every
capacitor likely to hold a dangerous voltage potential.
WARNING
Never work on electronic equipment unless there is another person nearby who
is familiar with the operation and hazards of the equipment.
WARNING
Be careful when working on or with electrical equipment. Do not be misled by
the term “low voltage”. Voltages as low as 50 volts may cause death. For
artificial respiration, refer to FM 21-11.
b
TM 9-2320-279-34-3
WARNING
Be careful not to short out battery terminals. Do not smoke or use open flame
near batteries. Batteries may explode from a spark. Battery acid is harmful to
skin and eyes.
WARNING
Brake shoes may be coated with dust. Breathing this dust may be harmful to your health.
Do not use compressed air to clean brake shoes. Wear a filter mask approved for use
against brake dust. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
WARNING
Starting fluid is toxic and flammable. Do not store in cab and do not breathe
fumes. Do not puncture or burn containers. Dispose of container following
manufacturer’s recommendations on the container.
WARNING
Compressed air used for cleaning purposes will not exceed 30 psi (207 kPa). Use
only with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment, goggles,
shield, and gloves.
WARNING
After Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical (NBC) exposure of vehicle, all air filters
shall be handled with extreme caution. Unprotected personnel can experience
injury or death if residual toxic agents or radioactive material are present. If
vehicle is exposed to chemical or biological agents, servicing personnel shall wear
protective mask, hood, protective overgarments, and chemical protective gloves
and boots in accordance with TM 10-277. All contaminated air filters shall be
placed in double-lined plastic bags and moved swiftly to a segregation area away
from the worksite. The same procedure applies for radioactive dust
contamination. The Company NBC team should measure the radiation prior to
filter removal to determine the extent of safety procedures required per the NBC
Annex to the unit Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). The segregation area in
which the contaminated air filters are temporarily stored shall be marked with
appropriate NBC placards. Final disposal of contaminated air filters shall be in
accordance with local SOP. Decontamination operation shall be in accordance
with FM 3-5 and local SOP.
WARNING
DO NOT grind or sand painted equipment without high-efficiency air purifying
respirators in use.
WARNING
Use extreme care when removing or installing spring retainers. Spring retainers
are under tension and can act as projectiles when released suddenly. Ensure
proper eye protection is worn to prevent injury to personnel.
WARNING
Use extreme care when compressing, releasing, removing, or installing springs.
Springs are under tension and can act as projectiles when released. Ensure
proper eye protection is worn to prevent injury to personnel.

Section II. SERVICE AND INSPECTION
M978 Tanker Maintenance Procedures Instructions
22.2. GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.

a . Refer to Figures 22-1 through 22-5 to identify M978 tanker components before beginning work.
b . Follow these maintenance practices when working on the M978 tanker and tanker components:
To prevent explosion and fire, no smoking, flame, sparks and glowing or hot
objects are allowed within 60 ft (16 m) of vehicle.
Eye protection is required during all grinding operations.
(1) Tag and mark shims, connectors, wires, tubes, conduit, hoses, and pipes before disconnecting.
Matchmark position of fittings, components and subassemblies before removal. Identify similar
parts to ensure correct assembly and installation.
(2) Use suitable container to catch fuel when removing hoses, tubes, fittings, pipes, and
components.
(3) Drain air system before removing air-actuated components and subassemblies.
Do not use tape to close off fuel openings. Sticky surface of tape will mix with
and contaminate fuel.
(4) When a component is removed from vehicle, cover open ends of pipes, valves, and other
components. Cover open ends with caps or plugs to prevent contaminants from entering fuel
circuit.
(5) Handle and store removed components carefully.
(6) To ease assembly, lay out parts in order they are removed during disassembly.
(7) Plumbing tags are attached with wire, screws, or rivets. Do not remove or replace plumbing tags
unless missing or damaged.
(8) Inspect parts as removed for breaks, dents, cracks, surface defects, or other damage. Turn in
defective parts. Set aside good parts for later use.
(9) When unpacking items, remove all packing material, barrier paper, tape, plastic bags, and
protective caps.
(10) Replace all gaskets, packings, and seals removed during repair work. Replace all lockwire,
lockwashers, and cotter pins at time of reassembly.
(11) Remove burrs from gear teeth with fine-cut file.
(12) Remove residue and stain from bearing races with crocus cloth.
Welding and brazing operations produce heat, toxic fumes, radiation, metal slag,
and carbon particles. Welding and brazing goggles, gloves, apron or jacket, and
welders boots are required to avoid injury or death.
(13) Welding and brazing processes may be used to repair cracks in external steel parts, such as
brackets, panels, and light framework. Because of time required and chance of subsequent
failure, such repairs should be attempted only when replacement parts are unavailable. Welding
and brazing of castings and running parts or parts under great stress wiIl be done only in
emergencies.
(24) Replace broken, worn, or burned electrical wiring.
(25) Replace broken, frayed, crimped, or soft flexible hoses. Replace stripped or damaged fittings.
Replace entire connected flexible hose if fittings are damaged. Hose clamps should not crimp
hoses.
22-2
TM 9-2320-279-34-3
M978 Tanker Maintenance Procedures Instructions (Cont)
(16) Replace any screw, nut, or fitting with damaged threads. Inspect tapped holes for thread
damage. If cross-threading is evident, retap hole for next oversize screw or stud. If retapping will
weaken part, replace part.
(17) Reshape elongated mounting holes to round and drill to receive bushing with required inner
diameter. Stake bushing in place with center punch.
(18) When installing studs, use proper driver. Before driving stud, inspect hole for chips. Blow out
foreign matter, coat threads with a film of antiseize compound (Item 17, Appendix C), and start
stud by hand.
(19) Remove protective grease coatings from new parts before installation.
(20) Lubricate all preformed packings with thin coat of oil (Item 47, Appendix C) before installation.
(21) To replace a preformed packing, stretch packing and place into position. Rotate component on
flat surface and uniformly press packing into position.
(22) Remove all traces of old gasket and sealant before installing new gasket. During installation, coat
both sides of gasket with adhesive-sealant (Item 6, Apendix C).
(23) When replacing coupling gaskets, lubricate with a thin coat of grease (Item 34, Appendix C)
before installation.
(24) Coat oil seals evenly with oil (Item 47, Appendix C) or grease (Item 36, Appendix C) before
installing. Install oil seals applying even force to outer edge of seal. If oil seals are to be installed
over keys or splined shafts, use guide to prevent sharp edge of keyway or splines from cutting
seal. Construct guides of very thin gage sheet metal and shape to required diameter. Make sure
guide edges are not sharp and are bent slightly inward so they do not cut seal.
(25) Lubricate bearings before assembly with lubricant used in the related housing or container to
provide first run-in protection until lubricant from the system can reach bearings.
(26) When mounting bearings on shafts, always apply force to inner races. When mounting bearings
in housing, always apply force to outer race.
(27) Use suitable lifting device, jack, or other aid when lifting heavy components.
c. Follow these cleaning instructions when working on tanker components:
WARNING
● Adhesives, solvents, and sealing compounds can burn easily, can give off
harmful vapors, and are harmful to skin and clothing. To avoid injury or death,
keep away from open fire and use in well-ventilated area. If adhesive, solvent,
or sealing compound gets on skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water.
● Compressed air used for cleaning and drying purposes will be reduced to 30 psi
(207 kPa) and used only with chip guarding and personal protection equipment
to avoid injury.
● Eye protection is required during all grinding operations to avoid serious injury.
(1) Soak parts in solvent (Item 57, Appendix C), and wash away deposits by slushing or spraying.
When necessary, brush with oval paint brush moistened in solvent. Use a jet of dry compressed
air to dry parts, except bearings, after cleaning. Bearings must drip and air dry.
(2) Do not use wire brushes, abrasive wheels, or compounds to clean parts, unless specifically
approved in the detailed instructions.
(3) Do not clean rubber parts in dry cleaning solvent. Wipe clean with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
(4) Electrical parts, such as coils, junction blocks, and switches, should not be soaked or sprayed
with cleaning solutions. Clean these parts with clean lint-free cloth moistened with dry cleaning
solvent.
22-3
TM 9-2320-279-34-3
22-2. GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (CONT).

d. Follow these inspection instructions when working on the tanker and tanker components:
(1) Inspect all surfaces in contact with gaskets, coupling gaskets, packings, or seals for nicks, burrs,
scratches or other damage, which might damage the new seal upon reassembly. If any defect is
found, remove before assembly.
NOTE
Defects which may cause bearing binding or misalinement are cause for rejection.
Nicks or gouges outside race load area are not cause for rejection.
(2) Inspect bearings for rusted or pitted bearings, races, or separators. Inspect bearings and races for
abrasion and serious discoloration.
(3) Cuts or grooves parallel to bearing or roller rotation and fatigue pits are causes for bearing
rejection.
(4) Guidelines for rejection of gears by visual inspection are not listed because of varying conditions
for gear application. The following descriptions of wear conditions may help determine when
parts are defective.
(a) Initial pitting may occur when gears are first started in service. When pitting reduces local high
spots so there is still enough contact area to carry load without further impairment, initial
pitting is not serious.
(b) Destructive pitting continues to progress after initial pitting. If there is not enough contact area
remaining to carry load, rapid destruction may occur from continued operation.
(c) Abrasive wear is surface damage caused by fine particles carried in lubricant or particles
embedded in tooth surfaces. Particles can be metal, sand, or scale in the oil.
(5) Inspect all hose surfaces for damaged or deteriorated material. Check for breaks caused by sharp
kinks or contact with other parts of vehicle. Inspect fitting threads for damage. Replace
defective parts. After assembly and during initial vehicle operation period, check for leaks.
(6) Inspect wiring harnesses for chafed or burned insulation. Inspect all terminal connectors for
loose connections and broken parts.
(7) Visually inspect all castings and weldments for cracks.

WARNING
CHEMICAL AGENT RESISTANT COATING (CARC)
• Unusable CARC mixtures are considered hazardous waste and will require disposal in
accordance with Federal, State, Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and local
installation hazardous waste regulations. Consult the installation environmental office for
proper disposal guidance. Mixed CARC is extremely flammable. Use only in
well-ventilated areas. Keep away from open flames, sparks, and other ignition sources.
• CARC paint contains isocyanate (HDI), which is highly irritating to skin and respiratory
system. High concentrations of HDI can produce symptoms of itching and reddening of
skin, a burning sensation in throat and nose, and watering of the eyes. In extreme
concentrations, HDI can cause coughing, shortness of breath, pain during respiration,
increased sputum production, and chest tightness. The following precautions must be
taken whenever using CARC paint:
• ALWAYS use air-line respirators when using CARC paint unless air sampling
shows exposure to be below standards. Use chemical cartridge respirator if air
sampling is below standards.
• DO NOT let skin or eyes come in contact with CARC paint. Always wear
protective equipment (gloves, ventilation mask, safety goggles, etc.).
• DO NOT use CARC paint without adequate ventilation.
• NEVER weld or cut CARC-coated materials.
• DO NOT grind or sand painted equipment without high-efficiency, air-purifying
respirators in use.
• BE AWARE of CARC paint exposure symptoms; symptoms can occur a few days
after initial exposure. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms are detected.

cannot contact flammable or
combustible materials or vapors.
Failure to comply may result in
serious injury or death to
personnel.
• When grinding, avoid creating
excess heat on CARC painted
surfaces near grinding area.
CARC paint can ignite if heated.
Failure to comply may result in
serious injury or death to
personnel.

APPENDIX D
TORQUE LIMITS
D-1. GENERAL. This section provides general torque limits for screws used on the M977 series
vehicles. Special torque limits are indicated in the maintenance procedures for applicable components. The
general torque limits given in this appendix shall be used when specific torque limits are not indicated in
the maintenance procedure. These general torque limits cannot be applied to screws that retain rubber
components. The rubber components will be damaged before the torque limit is reached. If a special torque
limit is not given in the maintenance instructions, tighten the screw or nut until it touches the metal
bracket then tighten it one more turn.
D-2. TORQUE LIMITS. Table D-1 lists dry torque limits. Dry torque limits are used on screws that do
not have lubricants applied to the threads. Table D-2 lists wet torque limits. Wet torque limits are used on
screws that have high pressure lubricants applied to the threads. Table D-3 lists torque limits for the M983
(HIAB) crane.
D-3. HOW TO USE TORQUE TABLE:
(3) Under the heading SIZE, look down the left hand
column until you find the diameter of the screw you
are installing (there will usually be two lines
beginning with the same size).
(4) In the second column under SIZE, find the number of

threads per inch that matches the number of threads
you counted in step (2). (Not required for metric
screws. )
CAPSCREW HEAD MARKINGS
(1) Measure the diameter of the

screw you are installing.
(5) To find the grade screw you are installing, match the
markings on the head to the correct picture of
CAPSCREW HEAD MARKINGS on the torque table.
(6) Look down the column under the picture you found
in step (5) until you find the torque limit (in lb-ft or
N m) for the diameter and threads per inch of the
(2) Count the number of threads per screw you are installing.

This fine document...
Was brought to you by me:
Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals
Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly

available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that
sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?
I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US

Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share,
republish, sell and so on.
I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please
provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in
search engines:
