Recovery is defined as a means or act to recover a disabled or mired vehicle. These operations can be complex and dangerous. The eight-step method for effective recovery operations are: Reconnoiter the Area: Inspect, observe, and survey an area for approach and positioning of the recovery vehicle, method of rigging and natural anchorage. Estimate the Situation: Determine the load resistance and the capacity of the effort available and what rigging will give the required force. Calculate the Ratio: Compute an estimated mechanical advantage for the rigging. Obtain the Resistance: Compute the tackle resistance and the total resistance. Verify the Solution: Compute the line force to compare with the winch and dead line capacities Erect the Rigging: Orient the crew, instruct them to assemble the tackle, and then move to a safe position. Recheck the Rigging: Ensure the tackle is erected for proper and safe operation. You are Ready: Signal the operator to apply winch power and recover the load.

Safety Procedures Safety must be an integral component of vehicle recovery operations. Basic safety precautions include: Tank engines will be shut off and the vehicle brakes applied while the tow cables are being connected or disconnected. Main guns will be positioned to prevent impact on the hull or turret of the other tank, in the event of a collision. Drivers will close their hatch doors and observe through the periscope during the actual recovery operations. All personnel on the ground will stand clear of cables under the load by at least a cable's length and opposite the angle of pull. Control of the recovery operation will be by one person positioned clear of the cable and where all drivers can observe his signals through their periscopes. Riggings will be inspected for the proper attachments and the presence of pin safety keys before being placed under load. Power will be applied gradually to remove slack from the riggings. No smoking or open flames will be permitted near nosed or overturned vehicles due to possible fuel spillage. Exhausts of the towing tanks will be pointed away from nosed and overturned tanks during recovery operations due to possible fuel spillage. Spilled fuel and oil will be removed from a recovered nosed or overturned vehicle and a complete maintenance check made before its engine is started.

Figure 3. Internal Components. 3. Principles of Operation. This section describes the operation of major vehicle systems and components. An understanding of how components relate to each other and function in a system will help solve possible vehicle maintenance problems. Power Plant System. The two major power plant components are the main engine and the cross-drive transmission. Power plant support systems includes: the lubrication, fuel supply, engine air, and exhaust systems. Main Engine. The main engine is the primary source of power for the carrier. The engine is a 12cylinder, 90 degree, V-type, 4-cycle, air-cooled, turbo-supercharged, diesel engine. The engine features a fuel injection system and a turbo-supercharged air induction system.

Figure 4. Main Engine - Front View. Transmission. The cross-drive transmission is a combined transmission with steering unit and twooutput reduction drives. It transmits power directly from the engine to the track drive sprockets. The transmission is controlled by the vehicle operator by means of shifting and steering controls and linkages and the brake control pedal linkage.

4. Lubrication System. The lubrication system forces pressurized oil through the oil filter and engine oil coolers, to the oil sprayer nozzles, which provides a continuous oil spray to the engine pistons and cylinder walls. Lubrication system components include: the oil pan, oil pump, oil filters, and crankcase breather system. Oil Pan. The oil pan is a one-piece aluminum alloy casting that is divided into several compartments at the front of the pan. The oil pan is designed to maintain a constant oil level during vehicle operation, regardless of the angle at which the engine may be inclined. Oil Pump. The oil pump assembly consists of four sections combined as a single unit. The oil pump draws oil from the pressure oil pump compartment in the oil pan and forces the oil through the engine oil coolers and the oil filter. Oil Filters. All engine oil passes through the engine oil filters. The oil filters are located in the crankshaft damper and oil filter housing at the front of the engine. The oil filter bypass valve permits oil to bypass clogged filters. Crankcase Breather System. The crankcase breather system is completely enclosed, allowing the engine to be completely submerged, blocking the entrance of water and permitting crankcase venting. The breather system is vented through the left turbo-supercharger exhaust outlet into the vehicle exhaust system.

5. Fuel Supply System. Three fuel tanks supply fuel to the main engine, auxiliary power unit, and the refuel system. Two tanks are

13

adjacent to the main engine, one on either side, and the third tank is forward of the bulkhead, in the winch compartment. A system of four manually operated control valves maintains fuel flow through the check valve and directs fuel to the engine and refueling systems. These valves are also used to drain the fuel tanks. 6. Engine Air Systems. The engine air systems includes: the manifold air induction heater, air cooling, oil cooling, and air intake systems. Manifold Air Induction Heater System. The engine intake manifolds are equipped with electrically ignited intake manifold heaters. The heaters facilitate engine starting during cold weather. Air Cooling System. Air enters the engine compartment through the grille doors. The top of the engine is shrouded, enclosing two gear-driven, axial flow fans, which draw the air through the cylinder fins and oil coolers and discharge hot air vertically from the shroud. Sheet metal baffles and deflectors direct the flow of cooling air across the engine cylinders. Oil Cooling System. Two engine and two transmission oil coolers are mounted on the side of the engine, above the cylinders. The cooling fans draw air through the oil cooler cores to cool the oil circulating within the coolers. Air Intake System. Two dry-type air cleaners, mounted in the right and left rear of the crew compartment, filter intake air for the main engine. A damper control, mounted on each air cleaner, is used to select air intake from either the crew compartment or from outside the vehicle.

7. Exhaust System. Exhaust pipes connect each exhaust manifold to a turbo-supercharger. Exhaust gases are ejected from the engine, via the exhaust pipes, through deflector-type louvers at the rear of the vehicle. 8. Electrical Systems. The electrical system provides power for the carrier. The system components include: the generator, voltage regulators, starter, batteries, and lighting system. Main Engine Generator. The generator is an air-cooled, 28-volt, 30-amp, direct current, field-regulated unit. It is mounted on the right side of the engine and driven directly by engine power. It keeps the batteries charged to operating voltage levels and supplies electricity while the engine is running. Generator Voltage Regulators. There are two solid-state generator voltage regulators that maintain generator output voltage at a constant 28 0.7 volts DC. One regulator controls the main engine voltage output and the other controls the voltage output of the auxiliary power unit. The regulators are both mounted at the left rear of the engine compartment. Starter. The 24-volt, waterproof starter assembly is mounted on the lower left side of the engine, towards the rear. It is a heavy-duty, solenoid-operated, enclosed shift-lever-type engine starter. Batteries. Six 12-volt batteries are connected in a series-parallel circuit to give the vehicle a 300ampere per hour source of 24-volt, direct current power. The batteries are located in the left side of the engine compartment. Lighting System. The recovery vehicle is equipped with an extensive lighting system that includes: Right and left headlight clusters - service headlight and blackout service headlight, blackout drive light, and a blackout marker light.

Taillight assembly - blackout marker taillight, service taillight, and service spotlight. Riggers fixed spotlight, service light assembly, and blackout light. Winch compartment light. Flasher warning light. Dome light. Highbeam indicator light. Troublelight assembly. Drivers passive night viewer light and switches.

9. Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). The APU consists of a two-cylinder, four-cycle, diesel engine connected to a 300-ampere, 28-volt generator and auxiliary hydraulic system pump. The APU provides electrical power to charge the vehicle batteries and hydraulic power to raise and lower the spade, stow and raise the boom, and retrieve the main and hoist winch cables. The APU components include: the starting and generating, fuel, and lubrication systems and the governor. Starting and Generating Systems. The 28-volt generator described above is also used as a starter motor. Fuel System. The fuel system consists of a primary and secondary fuel filter, a fuel transfer pump, an injection pump, and an injection nozzle. Lubrication System. A gear type oil pump draws oil from the crankcase and delivers it through the oil filter to the APU engine. Governor. The governor is a sensing device that is set to maintain engine speed at 2000 100 rpm. Changes in engine speed are sensed by the governor and transmitted to the throttle control.

10. Tracks and Suspension System. The suspension system on each side of the vehicle consists of six pairs of individually sprung road wheels (1), three track support rollers (2), a compensating idler wheel (3), a compensating idler link (4), a track drive hub and sprocket (5), and a track (6) (refer to Figure 5).

15

Figure 5. Tracks and Suspension. Shock absorbers are attached between the first, second, and sixth road wheel arms and the hull on each side of the vehicle. Each track consists of 84 rubber shoe assemblies. The individual links are held together by end connectors and wedges, guides, and guide caps. 11. Main Hydraulic System. The main hydraulic system supplies power for the control and operation of the spade, hoisting boom, hoist winch, and main winch, and for releasing the main and hoist winch brakes. Driven by the engine power take off mechanical transmission, the main hydraulic pump supplies power to the hydraulic system. 12. Main Winch and Spade Assembly. The main winch (1) is mounted to the vehicle nosepiece. It is gear-driven by a hydraulic motor and is used for heavy-duty recovery operations. The winch is wound with 200 feet of 1 inch steel cable. The cable is equipped with a clevis for securing it to loads. The spade (2) is mounted to the vehicle nosepiece by two trunnion-mounted arms, which are operated by hydraulic cylinders (3) from within the winch compartment (Refer to Figure 6).

Figure 6. Main Winch and Spade Assembly. 13. Hoist Winch. The hoist winch is mounted in the winch compartment and is gear-driven by a hydraulic motor. The winch can hoist a maximum load of 50,000 pounds, with a four-part line, using a 5/8 inch steel cable.

Figure 7. Hoist Winch. 14. Hoisting Boom. The hoisting boom is a tubular modified A-frame, and is pivot-mounted to the top front of the vehicle. The boom is raised and lowered by two hydraulically operated boom cylinders. The hoisting boom is used in

17

conjunction with the hoist winch.

Figure 8. Hoisting Boom. 15. Fixed Fire Extinguisher System. The carrier is equipped with a fixed CO2 fire extinguisher system for smothering fires in the engine and winch compartments. The system is equipped with eight 10-pound cylinders. Each cylinder is equipped with a safety valve, which automatically discharges when pressure becomes excessive due to heat. The cylinders are mounted in banks of four on each side of the cab interior. 16. Smoke Grenade Launcher System. The M239 Smoke Grenade Launcher System consists of two-smoke grenade discharger's (1), canvas covers, a push-button firing switch at the commanders station, two smoke grenade stowage boxes, and an electrical installation kit (Refer to Figure below).

Figure 9. Smoke Grenade Launcher System. 17. Exhaust Smoke Generating System. The exhaust smoke generating system consists of solenoid valves, fuel tube assemblies, shutoff valve, and supporting assemblies. The solenoid valves and fuel tube assemblies are attached to the rear of the engine. The switch (1) that operates the system is installed at the commanders station. If activated, the system takes engine fuel from the main fuel supply and sends it to the solenoid valves. When opened, the valves spray diesel fuel into the exhaust system. The fuel vaporizes and exits with engine exhaust gases. The fuel vapor cools on contact with the exhaust air and condenses to form a dense smoke screen.
