TM   5-4930-227-14 CHAPTER  2 INSTALLATION  AND  OPERATING  INSTRUCTIONS Section I. SERVICE UPON 2-1. Inspection and Servicing Equipment a.  Inspection. (1) Inspect  the  identification  plates  for  posi- tive  identification  of  the  equipment. (2)  Make  a  thorough  inspection  of  the pumping assembly and tanks for damage which may have occurred during shipment. (3) Check the equipment against the pack- ing list to make certain all items are accounted for and in serviceable condition. (4)  Inspect  the  components  for  loose  or missing  mounting  hardware  and  loose  connec- tions. (1)  Turn  the  engine  with  the  starter  rope to make sure all moving parts are free. b.  Servicing. (1) Lubricate the engine in accordance with lubrication  order  LO  5-4930-227-12. (2) Perform preventive maintenance checks and  services  (  para  3-7). (3)  Correct  all  deficiencies  or  report  them to  direct  support  maintenance. 2-2. Installation of Separately Packed Components The tanks and pumping unit are shipped on in- dividual  skids.  Refer  to  paragraph  2-3  for  instal- lation  of  these  components. 2-3. Installation or Setting-Up Instructions a. General. The tank and pump unit is design- ed for mounting in trucks. Three types of block- ing  frames  have  been  devised  to  prevent  shifting of  the  tank  and  pump  unit  during  movement, particularly on rough terrain. Section 1 (fig. 2- 1)  is  used  in  the  5  ton,  6x6  cargo  truck  M-54, and  prevents  longitudinal  movement.  Sections  2 and 3 are also used in the M-54 cargo truck, and in  the  2  1/2  ton,  6x6  cargo  trucks  M-35  and M-211.  They  are  designed  to  prevent  side  move- ments  of  the  tank  and  pump  unit.  Construct RECEIPT OF EQUIPMENT frames  in  empty  truck  bed  for  ease  in  measuring lengths  of  lumber  and  assembling  frames.  Install tank and pump unit between the frames when the frames are constructed. Complete installation instructions are given in  b, below.  Dimensions shown  in  figure  2-1  must  be  altered  slightly to take care of individual differences in dimen- sions  of  equipment.  Before  constructing  blocking frames, check measurements of the truck bed and tank  skids  to  determine  centerline  for  mounting of  tanks.  The  tanks  must  be  centered  so  that section 2 blocking frames will fit properly. Also determine  centerline  of  pumping  assembly  so  that section  3  blocking  frames  will  fit  properly.  As  an alternate method, tank and pump unit may be temporarily  centered  in  truck  bed  and  an  outline made along sides of tank skids and pumping as- sembly to check on dimensions used in construct- ing  blocking  frames. b.   Installation. (1) Lower tailgate of truck and remove tar- paulin, bows, and racks with seats. Install sec- tional  blocking  frame  support  in  M-54  cargo truck by lifting spare tire assembly and sliding the  blocking  frame  to  a  position  against  the  rear end of the truck body. Let spare tire rest against rear   crosspiece. (2)  Install  the  two  parts  of  section  2  against section 1, or on  2 1/2 ton cargo trucks,  against rear  end  of  truck  body. (3) Refer to figure 2-2 and install the tanks and  pumping  assembly  in  truck.  Add  the  two parts  of  section  3  along  sides  of  pumping  assem- bly and against section 2 of blocking frame. (4) Secure tanks and pumping assembly to sides  of  truck  bed  with  horizontal  tiedown  as- semblies.  Handtight  only. c.  Tank  Vertical  Tiedown. (1) Refer  to  figure  2-3  for  identification  of tiedown  strap  assemblies. 2-1
