FORDING.

TM 5-4930-233-14

TM 4930-14/1

2-13. OPERATION IN SALT WATER AREAS.

In salt water areas, give special attention to general maintenance of the lubricating and servicing units to prevent

corrosion of these metal parts. Keep a thin coat of oil on all exposed machined parts, and keep as clean and free

of moisture as possible. Make sure all unpainted spots are painted or coated with approved preventive

compounds. When equipment has been exposed to salt water, steam clean or wash exposed areas with clean,

fresh water as soon as possible; dry thoroughly.

2-14. OPERATION IN HIGH ALTITUDES.

The air pressure above sea level decreases as altitude is increased. The result is a decrease in air pressure to the

carburetor causing a too rich gasoline air mixture. If this condition interferes with the operation of the unit, adjust

the carburetor in accordance with instructions provided in TM 9-2805-262-14.

2-15. FORDING.

Do not drive the trailer through more than 30 inches of water. Clean, inspect and lubricate immediately after

fording or when the tactical situation permits.

If fording operations are required, move fuel cap valve to fording position as instructed on cap.
