Over dit boek
Dit is een digitale kopie van een boek dat al generaties lang op bibliotheekplanken heeft gestaan, maar nu zorgvuldig is gescand door Google. Dat
doen we omdat we alle boeken ter wereld online beschikbaar willen maken.
Dit boek is zo oud dat het auteursrecht erop is verlopen, zodat het boek nu deel uitmaakt van het publieke domein. Een boek dat tot het publieke
domein behoort, is een boek dat nooit onder het auteursrecht is gevallen, of waarvan de wettelijke auteursrechttermijn is verlopen. Het kan per land
verschillen of een boek tot het publieke domein behoort. Boeken in het publieke domein zijn een stem uit het verleden. Ze vormen een bron van
geschiedenis, cultuur en kennis die anders moeilijk te verkrijgen zou zijn.
Aantekeningen, opmerkingen en andere kanttekeningen die in het origineel stonden, worden weergegeven in dit bestand, als herinnering aan de
lange reis die het boek heeft gemaakt van uitgever naar bibliotheek, en uiteindelijk naar u.
Richtlijnen voor gebruik
Google werkt samen met bibliotheken om materiaal uit het publieke domein te digitaliseren, zodat het voor iedereen beschikbaar wordt. Boeken
uit het publieke domein behoren toe aan het publiek; wij bewaren ze alleen. Dit is echter een kostbaar proces. Om deze dienst te kunnen blijven
leveren, hebben we maatregelen genomen om misbruik door commerciële partijen te voorkomen, zoals het plaatsen van technische beperkingen op
automatisch zoeken.
Verder vragen we u het volgende:
+ Gebruik de bestanden alleen voor niet-commerciële doeleinden We hebben Zoeken naar boeken met Google ontworpen voor gebruik door
individuen. We vragen u deze bestanden alleen te gebruiken voor persoonlijke en niet-commerciële doeleinden.
+ Voer geen geautomatiseerde zoekopdrachten uit Stuur geen geautomatiseerde zoekopdrachten naar het systeem van Google. Als u onderzoek
doet naar computervertalingen, optische tekenherkenning of andere wetenschapsgebieden waarbij u toegang nodig heeft tot grote hoeveelhe-
den tekst, kunt u contact met ons opnemen. We raden u aan hiervoor materiaal uit het publieke domein te gebruiken, en kunnen u misschien
hiermee van dienst zijn.
+ Laat de eigendomsverklaring staan Het “watermerk” van Google dat u onder aan elk bestand ziet, dient om mensen informatie over het
project te geven, en ze te helpen extra materiaal te vinden met Zoeken naar boeken met Google. Verwijder dit watermerk niet.
+ Houd u aan de wet Wat u ook doet, houd er rekening mee dat u er zelf verantwoordelijk voor bent dat alles wat u doet legaal is. U kunt er
niet van uitgaan dat wanneer een werk beschikbaar lijkt te zijn voor het publieke domein in de Verenigde Staten, het ook publiek domein is
voor gebruikers in andere landen. Of er nog auteursrecht op een boek rust, verschilt per land. We kunnen u niet vertellen wat u in uw geval
met een bepaald boek mag doen. Neem niet zomaar aan dat u een boek overal ter wereld op allerlei manieren kunt gebruiken, wanneer het
eenmaal in Zoeken naar boeken met Google staat. De wettelijke aansprakelijkheid voor auteursrechten is behoorlijk streng.
Informatie over Zoeken naar boeken met Google
Het doel van Google is om alle informatie wereldwijd toegankelijk en bruikbaar te maken. Zoeken naar boeken met Google helpt lezers boeken uit
allerlei landen te ontdekken, en helpt auteurs en uitgevers om een nieuw leespubliek te bereiken. U kunt de volledige tekst van dit boek doorzoeken
op het web via http://books.google.com
This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized
by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the
information in books and make it universally accessible.

3. DO NOT drive any vehicle with inspection plates, cover

plates, or engine compartment doors removed unless neces—
sary for maintenance purposes.
4. 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 personnel from vehicle
and treat as follows: expose to fresh air; keep warm; DO
NOT PERMIT PHYSICAL EXERCISE; if necessary, admin–
ister artificial respiration.
THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION.

Section II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
1–5. Purpose, Capabilities, and Features.
a. General. This loader is a self-propelled, full track-laying

vehicle. It transports and transfers missiles between a pallet and
the HAWK missile launcher. It is run by one operator.
b. Loader Major Systems and Assemblies.
(1) The loader has a four-cylinder, gasoline engine. The

drive train consists of torque converter, transmission, transfer
transmission, controlled differential, propeller shafts, and two final
drives. Controls for the engine and drive train are located in the
operator's cockpit.
(2) The suspension system for each side consists of three

road wheels, three axle and hub assemblies, two shock absorbers, a
drive sprocket, and a track. Individual torsion bars for each axle
and hub assembly provide chassis spring action for the loader.
(3) Missiles are handled by a hydraulic superstructure. It

consists of a main boom support, index boom, link assembly, transfer
arm assembly, yoke assembly, and three hoisting beams. Controls
for the hydraulic system are located on the hydraulic console in the
operator's cockpit. Pages 1–8 through 1-11 show the main operating
features.
(4) Several positions of the superstructure have been given

names. They are called index, transport, park, and shipping posi
tion. These names refer primarily to the position of the index boom
(pages 1-12 and 1–13).
(a) Index position – used to lock loader index boom to
missile supporting device (such as pallet or launcher) to pick up or
unload missiles.
(b) Transport position – used mainly for transporting

missiles (not the loader). Boom is up and extension is fully retracted.
(c) Park position – used when loader is unloaded and will

be left in one place for more than a few minutes. Boom is down.
(d) Shipping position – used when shipping loader by

truck or train. Superstructure is rotated 180 degrees to take less
shipping Space.

AND SERVICE (PMCS)
2–2. Maintenance Forms and Records.
Every mission begins and ends with the paperwork. There isn't
much of it, but you have to keep it up. The forms and records you
fill out have several uses. They are a permanent record of the
services, repairs, and modifications made on your loader. They are
reports to organizational maintenance and to your commander.
They are a checklist for you when you want to know what is wrong
with the loader after its last use, and whether those faults have
been fixed. For the information you need on forms and records, see
DA Pam 738–75C,
2–3. Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services.
a. Do your before (B) preventive maintenance just before you

operate the loader. Pay attention to the cautions and warnings.
b. Do your during (D) preventive maintenance while you operate

the loader, and at halts or rest stops.
c. Do your after (A) preventive maintenance right after

operating the loader. Pay attention to the cautions and warnings.
d. Do your weekly (W) preventive maintenance once a week.
e. Do your monthly (M) preventive maintenance once a month.
f. If something doesn't work, troubleshoot it with the

instructions in this manual (page 3–1) or notify your supervisor.
g. Always do your preventive maintenance in the same order, so
it gets to be a habit. Once you've had some practice, you'll spot
anything wrong in a hurry.
h. If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your
DA Form 21:01, and report it to organizational maintenance RIGHT
NOW.

i. When you do your preventive maintenance, take along the

tools you need to make all the checks. You always need a rag or
two.
(1) Keep it clean: dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the
way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you
work and as needed.
r--~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ w
WARNING
Dry cleaning solvent, used to clean parts, is |

l
\
potentially dangerous to personnel and property.
Do not use near open flame or excessive heat.
\
Flash point of solvent is 100 to 138°F (37.8 to
58.8°C).
\
!---~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(2) Use dry cleaning solvent (item 18,App. D) on all metal
surfaces. Use soap and water when you clean rubber or
plastic material.
(3) Bolts, nuts, and screws: check them all for obvious
looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition. You can't
try them all with a tool, of course, but look for chipped
paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If you find
one you think is loose, tighten it or report it to
organizational maintenance.
(4) Welds: look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps

where parts are welded together. If you find a bad weld,
report it to organizational maintenance.
(5) Electric wires and connectors: look for cracked or broken

insulation, bare wires, and loose or broken connectors.
Tighten loose connectors and make sure the wires are in
good shape.
(6) Hoses and fluid lines: look for wear, damage, and leaks,
and make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet spots
show leaks, of course, but a stain around a fitting or
connector can mean a leak. If a leak comes from a loose
fitting or connector, tighten it. If something is broken or
worn out, report it to organizational maintenance.

j. It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects the

status of your loader. The following are definitions of the types/
classes of leakage an operator needs to know to be able to deter
mine the status of the loader. Learn these definitions and be
familiar with them and REMEMBER – WHEN IN DOUBT, NOTIFY
YOUR SUPERWISOR!
Leakage Definitions for Operator PMCS

CLASS I Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or dis
coloration) not great enough to form drops.
CLASS II Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but
not enough to cause drops to drip from item
being checked/inspected.
CLASS III Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that
fall from the item being checked/inspected.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT OPERATION IS ALLOWABLE WITH MINOR

LEAKAGES (CLASS I OR II). OF COURSE, CONSIDERA
TION MUST BE GIVEN TO THE FLUID CAPACITY IN THE
ITEM/SYSTEM BEING CHECKED/INSPECTED. WHEN IN
DOUBT, NOTIFY YOUR SUPERVISOR.
WHEN OPERATING WITH CLASS I AND II LEAKS,

CONTINUE TO CHECK FLUID LEVELS AS REQUIRED IN
YOUR PMCS.
CLASS III LEAKS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO YOUR

SUPERVISOR OR TO ORGANIZATIONAL MAINTENANCE
FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION.
The above CAUTION applies unless otherwise

specified in the PMCS readiness column.

k. It is necessary for you to check for corrosion during normal inspec

tions. Corrosion damage is divided into the following stages:
Stage 1. Red, black or white corrosion deposits on surface, etch

ing and pitting. Base metal is sound.
Stage 2. Powdered, granular or scaled condition. Base metal is

sound.
Stage 3. Surface condition and corrosion deposits are similar to

Stage 2, except that metal in the corroded area is un
sound and small pin holes may be present.
Stage 4. No metal remains at point of severest corrosion. Cor

rosion holes in the area of metal is completely missing.
Corrosion areas in Stages 1 and 2 shall be cleaned , primed, and

painted with required final top coat (in accordance with TB 43-0213).
In the areas where Stages 3 and 4 are, the corrosion must be com
pletely removed or parts/assemblies replaced with new parts/as
semblies if repair is not economical.

CAUTION
Do not retract extension cylinder when missiles are
latched to Loader and launcher. To do so may damage
equipment and missiles.
During missile transfer to launcher, have Crew steady

missile at wings to prevent tail cone damage during
transfer.
During final seating of missile against rear pallet

or launcher hooks, extending the Superstructure
too far may damage the Loader and missile.
When lifting missiles off pallet on the ground,
have Crew exert enough pressure on wings to prevent
center missile radome from rubbing against top of
extension cylinder.
The Crew Chief will direct the crew members to transfer missiles
from pallet or launcher using the following procedures:
1. After the Loader has completed indexing with the pallet or
launcher, the CC will verify the brakes are released and the
shift lever is in N (neutral) while in a preload condition.
The CC will direct the extension of the transfer arms as
follows:
a. Driver will accelerate the engine to 2500 rpm (1) while

moving the EXTENSION lever (2) forward to extend transfer arm (3)
until hoisting beams (4) are several inches above missiles (5). (See
figure 2–21, sheet 1 of 2).
TA483452
2-67
TM 9-1450–500–10

(Continued)
NOTE
As the hoisting beams move towards the rear of

the missile, limit switches reduce the hydraulic
system pressure. This slows the hoisting beams
to help prevent damage to the equipment or
missiles. At this time, the missile release system
is enabled.
b. Driver will continue to extend superstructure until

hoisting beam forward latch is seated in the missile rear pocket.
(At this time, the rear of hoisting beam begins to lift off missile
surface).
C. Driver will stop extension, then retract just enough to

reseat rear of hoisting beam to missile surface.
2. CC will latch missile (C) first (see figure 2–22).

the hoist adapter. It attaches to the pockets of the missile by
hand-operated hooks located on each end of the frame. The
movable lifting eye (which functions as a pivot) is then fastened by a
lock pin through hole No. 6 on the beam. Each hole is numbered to
indicate the correct lifting point for missiles in various stages of
assembly. However, only hole No. 6 is used now.
NOTE
When hoisting beam XM15 is used to lift single improved

HAWK missiles, connecting link must be installed in hole
No. 6 for correct center of gravity (CG).

Section IV. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
2–15. General instructions.
a. Do normal preventive maintenance service, but use special

care in cleaning and lubrication where extremes of temperature,
humidity, climate, and terrain exist.
b. TM 21–306 gives special instructions for operating wheeled,

full-tracked, and tank-like vehicles under unusual conditions.
CAUTION
Follow approved practices and precautions. A detailed

study of TM 21–306 is essential for use of the Loader
under unusual conditions.
(1) Approach an obstacle, steep grade, trench, blast hole, or

rough terrain as squarely as possible.
(2) Reduce speed when Loader approaches the crest of a hill

or a blast hole. Increase speed with caution as the
Loader settles over the crest or when it reaches the
bottom of the depression.
(3) Descend hills slowly. Approach the bottom cautiously to

avoid digging in or damaging the final drives.
c. Refer to Chapter 3, Section I for lubrication under unusual

conditions. Refer to Chapter 3, Section III for operator's
maintenance. For preventive maintenance checks and service, refer
to table 2–3.
d. When equipment repeatedly fails from exposure to extreme

conditions, report the problem on DA Form 2407 Maintenance
Request and notify organizational maintenance.
TA096077
2-128
TM 9–1450–500–10
2–16. Extreme Cold Weather Conditions.
a. Batteries. Extreme cold causes batteries to freeze. It also

prevents them from furnishing enough power for engine starts. TM
9–207 gives information about the effects of cold weather on bat
teries. Remove batteries from Loader and store in a warm place
whenever the vehicle is not in use for a long time.
b. Tracks and Suspension. Park Loader on a footing of planks or

brush. This prevents tracks from freezing to the ground. Chock if
necessary. Clean mud, Snow, and ice from tracks and suspension as
soon as possible. Refer to TM 9–207 for effects of cold weather on
the tracks and suspension.
C. Canvas Covers and Tarpaulins. Canvas covers and tarpaulins

are hard to use in cold weather. If possible, tarpaulins should be
warmed and unfolded in heated area. Remove snow, ice, and mud
before covering Loader. Cover and shield Loader but keep the ends
of the tarpaulin off the ground to prevent them from freezing.
Always cover the rear deck of Loader to keep snow out of the
engine compartment.
d. Metal Parts. Metal parts become brittle and cannot take

shock loads at arctic temperatures. Make frequent inspections of
metal areas. Remove corrosion from exterior metal Surfaces. Use
abrasive paper or cloth. Apply a protective coating of paint, oil, or
suitable rust preventive.
e. Plastic and Rubber Parts. Parts made of plastic or rubber

must be handled carefully. These become brittle in cold weather
and may break due to vibration or handling. To prevent insulation
from cracking and causing short circuits, warm rubber or plastic
insulated cable before bending. Be sure all cables are secured in the
vehicle.
f. Winterization Equipment. The Loader is provided with two

cold weather kits. One cold weather kit is installed for tempera
tures ranging from +25°F to 0°F (-3.9°C to -17.8°C). An extreme
cold weather kit is added for temperatures ranging from 0°F to
–65°F (-17.8°C to -53.9°C). Each kit contains a description,
installation instructions, and methods of use. Section 2–17, Extreme
Cold Weather Operation Procedures, assumes that the kits are installed.
g. Cooling System. Cooling System must be protected by proper

coolant for low temperatures expected.
TA216308
2-129
TM 9-1450-500-10
2–17. Extreme Cold Weather Operation.

TA096080
2-131
TM 9–1450–500–10
2–20. Extreme Hot Weather Conditions.
a. Batteries. In hot climates, check electrolyte level daily.
(1) Specific Gravity. Have specific gravity checked. Bat

teries should have a weaker electrolyte in hot areas
(1.200 to 1.225 at full charge).
(2) Self-Discharge. A battery will self-discharge faster if

left standing for long periods of high temperatures. If
Loader is parked for several days, remove battery and
store in a cool place.
NOTE
Do not store acid-type storage batteries near stacks of

tires. The acid fumes will deteriorate rubber.
b. Hull and Cab.
(1) Inspect inactive vehicles frequently. In hot, damp areas

corrosion will appear as rust and paint blisters on metal
surfaces. Mildew, mold, or fungus growth will appear on
fabrics and glass.
(2) Remove corrosion from exterior with abrasive paper or

cloth. Apply a protective coating of paint, oil, or rust
preventive.
(3) Protect all unfinished, exposed metal surfaces with a

film of preservative lubricating oil (medium). Cables
and terminals should be protected by ignition insulation
compound.
2–21. Extreme Hot Weather Operation.
Keep engine cooling vent door open at all times. Continuous

operation at top speed, or long hard pulls on steep hills, or soft
terrain may cause Loader engine to overheat.
a. Observe instrument panel often for warning light. Whenever

possible, halt Loader and stop engine for a cooling off period.
b. Inspect fan belts, radiator, and transmission oil cooler often.
c. Check air cleaner and ducts for leaks.
d. Service air cleaner frequently.

b. Body and Chassis Maintenance.
(1) Make frequent inspection of idle, inactive material. In

hot, damp areas, corrosion appears as rust and paint
blisters on metal surfaces. Mildew, mold, or fungus
growth appears on fabrics and glass. Apply a film of
preservative lubricating oil (medium) on unfinished,
exposed surfaces. Cables and terminals should be pro
tected by ignition insulation compound.
(2) Remove corrosion from exterior metal surfaces with
abrasive paper or cloth. Apply a protective coating of
paint, oil, or rust preventive.
3–4. Maintenance of Loader After Fording.
Although housings are sealed to prevent leakage, water may enter

during submersion. The following services should be done on all
Loaders exposed to partial or complete submersion, especially in
salt water.
3. Carrier. Drain and clean engine compartment, power train

and chassis floor between beams. Clean all exposed surfaces
and touch up with paint where necessary. Coat hydraulic
cylinder piston rods with hydraulic fluid. Grease all fittings
below the fording line. Make sure that lubricant is forced
into each lubrication point to force out any water present.
Engine, Transmission, Transfer Transmission, Controlled

Differential and Final Drives. Check the lubricant in the
engine, transmission, transfer transmission, controlled dif–
ferential and final drives. If there is evidence that water has
entered, notify organizational maintenance.
Suspension. Clean and lubricate all parts as specified in

LO 9–1450–500–12.
Air Cleaner. If water is found in the air cleaner, clean and

refill. See LO 9–1450–500–12 for proper grade of lubricant.
Condensation. Sudden cooling may cause moisture to form

within the cases of instruments. Re-exposure to warm air
after fording should eliminate this condition.

3. Mud. Thoroughly clean and lubricate all parts affected as
soon as possible after operation in mud. Clean all suspension
components and lubricate as specified in LO 9–1450–500–12.
Sand or Dust. Clean engine and power plant compartment.

Lubricate as specified in LO 9–1450–500–12 to force out
lubricants contaminated by sand or dust. Clean air cleaners
more often during very dusty conditions. Change engine oil
and filter as soon as possible after a sand storm. Notify
organizational maintenance for this service. Clean radiator
fins and oil cooler vanes with compressed air daily when
operating in dusty terrain. When halted, place superstructure
in stored position. Cover Loader to protect moving parts
against entrance of sand or dust.
