THEORY OF OPERATION
SYSTEM THEORY
The M1000 semitrailer is a fifth-wheel type, low-bed semitrailer that includes five hydraulically steered rows of bogie
axles, 40 wheels and tires, and an operator-adjusted and leveled hydraulic suspension. A liquid-cooled, single-cylinder,
diesel engine-powered Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) is provided to operate the trailer’s hydraulic suspension, gooseneck,
steering, and rear loading ramps. The M1000 is designed and configured to transport a combat-loaded Abrams Main
Battle Tank (MBT) and current tracked and wheeled vehicles of similar dimensions with a gross weight not exceeding
70 tons. The semitrailer is intended to permit operation over OCONUS public highways and secondary roads with a
minimum amount of special permits. In a tactical environment, the design is intended to permit limited operations on
unimproved roads, trails, and cross-country terrain at the tactical support mobility levels (combat weights).
The M1070 HET tractor is the principal prime mover of the M1000 semitrailer. The M1070/M1000 system is designated
the Heavy Equipment Transport System (HETS). The M1070 is an 8 by 8 configuration with a front-powered steering
axle. The M1070 is powered by a 500 hp, two-cycle, diesel engine coupled to a five-speed transmission, transferring
power through a two-speed transfer case. The HET tractor cab seats five personnel and has provisions for sleeping two

NOTE
On the control box used with APU model EB300E, the glow plug indicator is changed
from a glow-type indicator to a lamp driven by a timer.
The OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR (Figure 1, Item 2) illuminates when the oil in the APU has not reached normal operating
pressure. Once the engine operating oil pressure has been reached, the light will go out. If the oil pressure indicator does not
go out within 5 seconds, a malfunction in the engine is indicated.
The THROTTLE CONTROL (Figure 1, Item 3) is a push/pull cable controller that manually adjusts the speed of the APU. To
increase the APU speed, press the center knob and pull outward on the throttle control. Fine adjustments may be made by
turning the throttle control clockwise (to increase) or counterclockwise (to decrease). To decrease speed, push in the throttle
control. To shut down the APU, push in the throttle control.
The GLOW PLUG INDICATOR (GLOW TYPE) (Figure 1, Item 4) illuminates when the APU START SWITCH is placed
and held in the GLOW position. The indicator element glows red when the glow plug conductor has become warm enough to
assist in starting the APU.
The GLOW PLUG INDICATOR (LAMP) (Figure 1, Item 5) illuminates when the APU START SWITCH is placed and held in
the GLOW position and extinguishes 5 seconds later to indicate that the glow plug is warm enough to assist in starting the APU.

CROWBAR
The CROWBAR (Figure 9, Item 1) has three permanently marked lines (WP 0036) to measure platform heights from the
ground to the top of the platform. The bottom mark is for the rear platform loading position, 34 in. (86 cm). The center mark
is for the normal platform height, 43 in. (109 cm). The top mark is for the front platform loading position, 50 in. (127 cm).
When not in use, the crowbar is stowed on the rear of the semitrailer below the loading ramps.

0004 TM 9-2330-381-13
PNEUMATIC CONTROLS
The BRAKE RELEASE VALVE (Figure 10, Item 1) is a push/pull type valve used to disengage the parking brakes when the
semitrailer is not connected to a tractor. Push in the handle to charge air pressure and release the parking brakes. Pull out the
handle to release air pressure and to engage the parking brakes. This valve can only be cycled a few times before the air
supply in the air tanks must be replenished.
There are five AIR TANK DRAIN VALVES (Figure 11, Item 1) on this semitrailer. Three are located on the curbside of
the platform, and two are located on the streetside of the platform. These drain valves are used to drain either moisture
or air pressure from air tanks. Pull and hold the lanyard until moisture is no longer being discharged or until all air in
that tank is released.
0004-10
TM 9-2330-381-13 0004
HANDCRANK CONTROLS
The FRONT SUPPORT LEG HANDCRANK (Figure 12, Item 1) is a single-speed handcrank that operates an internal winch
attached to a lifting strap. The handcrank is used to manually raise and lower the lower shaft and foot of the support legs. A
retaining pin is used to lock the lower shaft in one of four preselected height settings (holes). The bottom hole of the lower
shaft is used to stow the lower leg and foot during transport. The retaining pin is installed from the outboard side of each
support leg. The handcrank for the curbside support leg is located on the inward side of the leg, while the handcrank for the
streetside support leg is located on the outboard side of the leg. The streetside support leg also contains a step that provides
personnel access to the platform. To lower and secure either support leg, rotate the handcrank counterclockwise until the
desired retaining pin hole in the lower leg is aligned with the hole in the upper housing of the support leg. Install the retaining
pin. To raise either leg, rotate the handcrank clockwise sufficiently to relieve tension on the retaining pin. Remove the pin and
continue cranking in a clockwise direction until desired selected height is reached. Insert the retaining pins.
0004-11
0004 TM 9-2330-381-13
The REAR SUPPORT LEG HANDCRANKS (Figure 13, Item 1) each contain an adjusting nut and require a ratchet and
socket to lower or raise the support leg’s lower tube and foot. To lower the support legs, raise the cover and use the ratchet and
socket to rotate the adjusting nut counterclockwise to the desired position. Clockwise rotation of the adjusting nut raises the
leg. To access the adjusting nut, release the cover latch and raise the metal cover sufficiently to engage the adjusting nut
with the ratchet and socket. Upon completion of the rear support leg adjustment, put the cover back in position and secure it
with the cover latch. To prevent in-transit vibration from rotating the adjusting nut and lowering the rear support leg, install
a socket head screw on the adjusting nut that contacts a bar on the cover, preventing movement. Any time the cover is to
be closed, ensure the socket head screw is positioned outboard prior to closing.

WARNING
• Precautions must be exercised during highway travel to ensure that all bridges
and underpasses can be negotiated.
• When towing a payload, check security of load and tighten tiedowns at
every rest and maintenance stop.
• Ensure position of assistant is known at all times.
• All safety requirements, such as hazard flags, road permits, flashing warning lights,
escort vehicles, and wide-load signs must be met.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
WARNING
Under no circumstances shall speeds exceed the following:
• Highway ......................... 45 mph (72 km/h)
• Secondary ...................... 40 mph (64 km/h)
• Off-road ......................... 15 mph (24 km/h)
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
1. Consider overall length of tractor and semitrailer when towing semitrailer and passing other vehicles. During trailering
operations, acceleration rate is reduced and stopping distance is increased.
END OF TASK
0014-2
TM 9-2330-381-13 0014
WARNING
• The HET tractor and semitrailer combination does not track in the same way as standard
or conventional tractor-trailer combinations. Operators must know and understand this
point prior to operating the HET on public access roads. Wide, conventional tractor-trailer
turns may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
• When making sharp turns, the semitrailer may swing beyond normal turning radius.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
1. Turning the tractor also causes the semitrailer wheels to turn with the M911 or M1070 tractor and M1000 semitrailer
combination. Semitrailer may swing out into the lane of oncoming traffic. Operator must ensure lane is clear prior to
making turn. Left and right turns should be made tighter than conventional tractor-trailer turns.
Figure 1. Turning.
END OF TASK
0014-3
0014 TM 9-2330-381-13
WARNING
• Using the M911 or M1070 tractor, the semitrailer will not back like a normal
semitrailer because of the semitrailer's steering system.
• The operator must back the tractor/semitrailer by turning the tractor’s steering wheel in the
opposite direction than would be used for backing with a normal semitrailer.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
CAUTION
• When backing, excessively sharp, over steering turns will cause damage to equipment. If the angle
between the tractor chassis and gooseneck exceeds 60 degrees, damage to tires may occur.
• If the angle exceeds 90 degrees, severe damage to semitrailer steering components
and tractor fifth-wheel will occur.
• Extreme caution must be exercised when maneuvering the tractor/semitrailer in confined
spaces (i.e., motor pools, parking lots, filling stations) where over-steer angles may easily
be achieved through normal driving capability of the tractor.
Failure to follow these cautions will result in severe damage to equipment.
NOTE
• When backing, always use a spotter for guidance.
• Always use mirrors when backing, and keep spotter in sight at all times.
• When backing, the rear of the semitrailer will move in the same direction as the front tractor wheels.
1. If tractor wheels are turned right, semitrailer wheels will steer left and cause semitrailer to back to the right with tractor.
2. If tractor wheels are turned left, semitrailer wheels will steer right and cause semitrailer to back to the left with tractor.

END OF TASK
0014-5
0014 TM 9-2330-381-13
WARNING
• The tractor operator must drive slowly and maintain constant visual contact with the spotter.
• When manually steering the semitrailer, the tractor operator should make many starts and stops to
give the spotter time to adjust steering.
• The tractor operator should allow even space on both sides of the tractor so that the spotter
who is steering the semitrailer has room to make adjustments.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
1. Manually steer semitrailer to allow clear passage if tractor/semitrailer is in an area with limited turning ability.
2. Steer semitrailer (WP 0010) left or right to make room for tractor/semitrailer to pass through a tight area by having spotter
located at semitrailer hydraulic control panel.
END OF TASK
Stopping
1. Apply brakes on tractor and semitrailer at the same time during normal operation when driver steps on tractor brake pedal.
2. Apply brake pressure gradually and smoothly.
3. Use good judgment and observe road conditions while stopping. Use caution on steep downgrades and slippery surfaces.
END OF TASK
Parking
CAUTION
Ensure that the trailer hand brake control (Johnny Bar) in the tractor cab is completely released prior to
applying the tractor's parking brakes or loss of the semitrailer’s reserve air supply may result.
NOTE
If a hissing sound is heard from the tractor's parking brake control valve after setting the parking brakes, the brake
pedal must be released, and the trailer air supply control in the tractor must be pushed in and then pulled out.
1. Ensure trailer hand brake control (Johnny Bar) located on steering column in tractor cab is completely released when
tractor/semitrailer combination is to be parked and left unattended. Set parking brakes (TM 9-2320-360-10).
2. Ensure tractor engine (TM 9-2320-360-10) and semitrailer Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) are shut down (WP 0005). If
hissing sound is heard from tractor's parking brake control valve after setting parking brakes, release tractor brake pedal;

GENERAL INFORMATION
This work package contains instructions for loading a disabled payload (M1 Series Main Battle Tank) onto the Heavy
Equipment Transporter (HET) M1000 semitrailer coupled to a U.S. Army M1070 or M911 tractor.
NOTE
• The M1070 tractor is illustrated as the prime mover throughout these instructions; however, unique instructions for
either the M1070 or the M911 tractor will be identified where applicable.
• The prime difference between the M1070 and M911 tractor is that the M1070 tractor has an auxiliary winch system
that is used to pull the main cables to the rear of the semitrailer for attachment to the payload. The operation of the
M1070 winch controls is described herein.
• Refer to the M911 Operating Instructions (TM 9-2320-270-10) for location, description, and operation of winch
controls.

FORDING
WARNING
• DO NOT enter water at more than walking speed of 5 mph (8 kph) with an entrance
or exit slope of more than 15 percent.
• DO NOT enter water deeper than 28 in. (71 cm) including wave height.
• DO NOT enter water that has ice or debris on surface.
• Always check the stream bottom to determine that it is firm enough to support the
semitrailer and that there are no obstacles under water.
• DO NOT enter water that has a current velocity of more than 5 mph (8 kph). This is equivalent to 7 ft/s (2 m/s).
• The M1000 is not Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) survivable because of the large number
of components and materials that are either non-decontaminable or lack sufficient hardness to
survive conventional decontamination procedures. Such materials include rubber tires, hoses, mud
flaps, and latches; polyester and urethane foams used for insulation; uncovered auxiliary power
unit; hydraulic system components; electrical wiring harness; and lubricants. These materials will
absorb and desorb agents that present a contact and vapor hazard. The integrity of these materials
will also be reduced when exposed to certain agents and decontaminates.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
CAUTION
If tractor/semitrailer combination becomes mired (stuck) in mud or soft sand, recovery must be
achieved by pulling forward. If the combination is pulled rearward, from the rear of the semitrailer,
the bogies will tend to dig in deeper, and severe damage to equipment may result.
NOTE
• If tractor becomes mired (stuck) while the semitrailer is still on solid surface, recovery may be achieved
by pulling rearward, from the rear of the semitrailer, using a recovery vehicle.
• No special preparation of semitrailer is required prior to fording.
1. Check both entry and exit slopes for maximum angles of 15 percent. Check both slopes for excessive or high break-overs.
2. Check bottom of stream to be sure that it is firm enough to support semitrailer and is free of underwater obstacles.
3. Enter water as perpendicular to stream as possible.
4. Keep tractor/semitrailer combination in as straight a line as possible.
5. Maintain even speed.
6. Exit stream as perpendicular to stream as possible.
NOTE
No special maintenance of semitrailer is required after fording; however, suspension and steering
components should be scheduled for lubrication as soon as practical.
7. When clear of stream and on level terrain, make several gradual stops to clear water from brakes and to ensure brakes

0021-6
TM 9-2330-381-13 0021
CAUTION
• Cold weather, especially arctic conditions, adversely affects the semitrailer’s hydraulics in the areas of the
gauge readings and the hydraulic filter indicator. During initial startup, the gauges will maintain higher
than normal pressure readings and the filter indicator will read in the red. Ample time must be given for
the APU and hydraulic fluid to warm up before operating the hydraulic system, or damage to equipment
may result.
• During initial starting, the hydraulic filter indicator will read in the red zone. The red zone
means the filter is clogged and filter bypass is occurring. Filter clogging at this point is because the
hydraulic fluid viscosity is extremely high due to the cold temperatures and will decrease as the APU
warms and the hydraulics begin to operate. DO NOT operate any of the hydraulic controls until
the APU has had time to warm up, or damage to equipment may result.
• During initial starting, the hydraulic system pressure gauge can read as high as 2,200 psi (15,169 kPa).
As the APU runs/warms up, the pressure ranges will start and continue to decrease. DO NOT operate the
hydraulic controls until the APU has had time to warm up, or damage to equipment may result.
NOTE
Allow the APU to run for 20 minutes. If outside temperatures range from -25 to -50°F (-31 to -46°C),
the filter indicator and hydraulic pressure gauges will not approach normal operating parameters until
the semitrailer has been pulled/towed for a couple of hours. Periodically check that the pressure gauge
and filter indicators are approaching normal conditions. If the indicators gradually decrease/return to
normal operating ranges, the APU is ready for normal operation.
27. Perform steps 18 through 21 of APU Jump Start (WP 0020) to disconnect and stow APU jump start cables.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This work package contains instructions for operating the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) semitrailer on grades.
OPERATION ON GRADES
CAUTION
• Because of the length of the tractor/semitrailer combination, one or more of the bogies will be lifted off of the
ground when approaching or cresting a grade that is more than 15 percent. The semitrailer’s suspension must
be adjusted during these operations to ensure that all of the bogies maintain contact with the ground. This
provides better stability when the semitrailer is loaded and reduces strain on the platform and suspension.
• The maximum grade for a fully loaded semitrailer is 20 percent. Grades up to 30 percent may be
negotiated, provided the payload does not exceed 50,000 lb (22,700 kg). DO NOT exceed a 30 percent
grade. Exceeding these limitations may cause serious damage to the semitrailer.
1. Stop tractor/semitrailer combination before reaching grade.
2. Lower platform (WP 0008) to minimum suggested height (1 in. of suspension cylinder plunger/piston exposed).
3. Pull onto grade (Figure 1).
4. If grade crest will be reached, proceed to the Cresting an Uphill Grade procedure below.
5. If grade crest will not be reached, stop and raise platform (WP 0008) to normal height of 43 in. (109 cm).

0023 TM 9-2330-381-13
BRAKE CAGING/UNCAGING
NOTE
• This procedure releases the brakes in the event of a system failure, tire changing, or operation
with a disabled bogie due to air brake problems.
• Ensure the semitrailer is parked on level ground and the front bogie wheels are chocked. If the semitrailer
is coupled to a towing vehicle, apply the towing vehicle’s parking brakes.
1. Remove nut (Figure 1, Item 3), washer (Figure 1, Item 2), and caging bolt (Figure 1, Item 4) from brake chamber
(Figure 1, Item 5).
2. Lift dust plug (Figure 1, Item 1) from brake chamber (Figure 1, Item 5) and move dust plug aside. Check for caked
mud and clean brake chamber if necessary.
NOTE
If air pressure is available, release the semitrailer’s brakes to compress the spring brake. This will
reduce the effort required to cage the brakes.
3. Insert key end of caging bolt (Figure 1, Item 4) as far as possible in brake chamber (Figure 1, Item 5). Once bottomed out,
rotate caging bolt clockwise until it stops and locks in place.
4. While pulling slightly on caging bolt (Figure 1, Item 4), install washer (Figure 1, Item 2) and nut (Figure 1, Item 3).
Hand-tighten nut until it makes contact with brake chamber (Figure 1, Item 5).
5. Use 10 in. (25.4 cm) adjustable wrench (WP 0169) to tighten nut (Figure 1, Item 3). As nut is tightened, caging bolt
(Figure 1, Item 4) will draw on parking brake spring assembly and cage (release) the brakes.
NOTE
Visually check the brake shoes for contact with the brake drum (WP 0068). If there is no apparent
contact, the brakes are caged. If there is still contact, continue turning nut clockwise until the
brake shoe’s contact with the brake drum is broken.
6. While trying to remove nut (Figure 1, Item 3) from caging bolt (Figure 1, Item 4), caging bolt may become unseated
from brake chamber (Figure 1, Item 5) and pull out. If caging bolt comes out, remove nut and washer (Figure 1, Item 2)
from caging bolt by hand.
NOTE
If air pressure is available, release the semitrailer’s brakes to compress the spring brake. This will
reduce the effort required to uncage the brakes.
7. To uncage brakes, turn nut (Figure 1, Item 3) counterclockwise, and remove nut and washer (Figure 1, Item 2) from caging
bolt (Figure 1, Item 4). This will release brakes from caged position to full operating position/condition. Rotate caging bolt
counterclockwise and remove from brake chamber (Figure 1, Item 5).
8. Reinstall dust plug (Figure 1, Item 1) in opening in top of brake chamber (Figure 1, Item 5). Ensure dust plug is properly
seated in brake chamber.
NOTE
Ensure the caging bolt is returned to its stowed position on the brake chamber with the key end properly positioned.
9. Insert caging bolt (Figure 1, Item 4) back into stowed position on brake chamber (Figure 1, Item 5) and secure caging
bolt in place by installing washer (Figure 1, Item 2) and nut (Figure 1, Item 3).

CHAPTER 4
FOR
FIELD MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
The Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) (WP 0035) must be performed by the operator to ensure that the
equipment is in good operating condition and ready for its primary mission.
To ensure maximum operational readiness, it is necessary that the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) semitrailer be
inspected at regular intervals so that any defects can be discovered and corrected before any serious damage or failure occurs.
Any maintenance problems that are beyond your authorization will be referred to Sustainment for correction.
Always perform the PMCS in the same order, so that it becomes a habit. Once you have had some practice, you will quickly
spot anything that is wrong. Perform the PMCS as follows:
1. BEFORE PMCS. Just before you operate the HET. Pay attention to all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
2. DURING PMCS. While you operate the HET. During operation means to monitor the HET and its related components
while it is actually being operated. Pay attention to all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
3. AFTER PMCS. Right after operating the HET.
4. WEEKLY PMCS. Once a week or if you are operating the semitrailer for the first time. Pay attention to all
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
5. MONTHLY. Once a month.
6. QUARTERLY. Once every 3 months.
7. SEMIANNUALLY. Once every 6 months.
Always observe the WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES before and during operation. A WARNING means someone
could be injured or killed. A CAUTION means the equipment could be damaged. If the equipment fails to operate, perform
the troubleshooting procedures found in WP 0030, WP 0031, WP 0031, and WP 0033. Report any deficiencies by using the
proper forms. See DA PAM 738-750.
NOTE
• There is a 5-year service requirement for the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) M1000 semitrailer. This is a
very labor-intensive service requirement and requires advance planning and budgeting. TACOM recommends that
you begin advance planning and budgeting at least 24 months prior to the 5-year service due date.
• In addition, proper and timely performance of all services and lubrications will help reduce the maintenance
burden and parts consumption associated with performing the 5-year service.
If the HET does not perform as required, refer to Chapter 3, Troubleshooting. If anything looks wrong and you cannot fix it,
complete a DA Form 2404. IMMEDIATELY report the problem to your supervisor.
NOTE
Keep all of the general checks in mind every time you do your PMCS. This will help you spot
trouble before it starts. It will also help you and your unit’s maintenance to keep your semitrailer
operational. In time, spotting possible trouble will become automatic.
7. When you check for GOOD CONDITION: Look at the item to see if it is safe and serviceable.
8. When you check for CORRECT ASSEMBLY OR STOWAGE: Look at the item to see if it is there, installed
correctly, and properly secured.
9. The PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE table starts on page 0035-1. It is set up so that you can make your Before
operation checks as you walk around the semitrailer.
10. When you do your PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, look for items that appear in the blocks, "Equipment is not
ready." If any of these faults are noted, do not operate your semitrailer until the repairs are made.
0034-2
TM 9-2330-381-13 0034
FLUID LEAKAGE
It is necessary for you to know how fluid leakage affects the status of the HET. Following are types/classes of leakages you
need to know in able to determine the status of the HET. Learn these leakage definitions and remember, when in doubt,
notify your supervisor. Equipment operation is allowed with minor leakage (Class I or II). Consideration must be given to
fluid capacity in the item/system being checked/inspected.
When in doubt, notify your supervisor. When operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to check fluid levels as required in
the PMCS. Class III leaks should be reported immediately to your supervisor.
1. Class I
Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
2. Class II
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops, but not enough to cause drops to drip from item being checked/inspected.
3. Class III
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from item being checked/inspected.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This work package contains instructions for the service brake adjustment of the Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET)
semitrailer.
0037-1
0037 TM 9-2330-381-13
WARNING
When the semitrailer has performed heavy braking, the brake drums may be hot to the touch. Use caution
and DO NOT come into contact with the brake drum when checking for heat. Allow the brake drum to cool
before performing maintenance. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury to personnel.
CAUTION
Brake adjustments are mandatory after installing new brakes or performing maintenance on the brakes.
Brake adjustments must also be accomplished if any of the following conditions exist:
• The slack adjusters are not level with each other when the brakes are applied.
• The brake chamber clevis moves more than 2 in. (5.1 cm) from fully released condition
to fully engaged condition (WP 0035).
NOTE
• Regardless of the position of the tractor’s TRAILER AIR SUPPLY valve knob, the tractor will NOT be able to
supply air to the semitrailer’s air tanks if the tractor’s PARKING BRAKE knob is pulled out (parking brakes set).
• Brake adjustments must be done after the suspension assembly has been completely reassembled and
air pressure has been restored to the system or an improper adjustment may be made.
1. Chock wheels on both tractor and semitrailer. Inside cab of tractor, push in black knob for PARKING BRAKE and red
knob for TRAILER AIR SUPPLY (TM 9-2320-360-10).
CAUTION
Brake adjustments require that the semitrailer air tanks be fully charged to ensure that each
brake chamber push rod is fully retracted. With less than a fully charged system, the brakes
may release, but not fully retract, giving a false indication of the caged position. If the brakes
are not fully retracted, proper brake adjustment cannot be completed.
2. Allow tractor air system pressure gauge to reach 100 psi (689.5 kPa) (TM 9-2320-360-10). Wait an additional 10 minutes
to ensure semitrailer air system is fully charged and all brake chamber push rods are fully retracted.
3. Locate left-hand slack adjuster (Figure 1, Item 3), right-hand slack adjuster (Figure 1, Item 4), and parking/service brake
chamber (Figure 1, Item 2) on affected suspension assembly (Figure 1, Item 1).

2. Operate spring (Figure 17, Item 3) assisted ramps (Figure 17, Item 1) (WP 0009) and check for proper tension of spring
(Figure 17, Item 3) adjustment as follows:
a. When lowering ramps (Figure 17, Item 1), the ramp ends, upon first contact with the ground, should remain on the
ground or rise not more than 6 in. (15 cm) from bottom of ramp to ground. If ramp ends rise higher, spring tension
(Figure 17, Item 3) may be too great. To reduce spring tension, proceed to step 3 below.
b. When lowering ramps (Figure 17, Item 1), the ramp ends, without downward push from operator, should not forcefully
strike the ground and remain there. Raising of ramp should not require extreme effort by one operator. If above
conditions are observed, ramp springs (Figure 17, Item 3) do not have sufficient tension. Refer to step 4 to increase
spring tension.
c. If ramp (Figure 17, Item 1) meets requirements of steps 2a and 2b, ramps are properly adjusted.
3. Reduce spring (Figure 17, Item 3) tension as follows:
a. Raise ramps (Figure 17, Item 1) and attach chain assemblies (Figure 17, Item 7) to platform (WP 0009).
b. One person must hold spring (Figure 17, Item 3) in place while second person removes locknut (Figure 17, Item 5)

WELDING
WARNING
Welding and brazing operations produce heat, toxic fumes, radiation, metal slag, and carbon
particles. Welding and brazing goggles with properly tinted lenses are required. Also, gloves,
apron, and welding boots are required or injury to personnel may result. Failure to follow this
warning may result in severe injury or death to personnel.
1. Welding and brazing processes may be used to repair cracks in steel parts such as brackets, panels, and light framework;
however, the time required, the difficulty of working with the metal, and the chance of embrittlement and subsequent
failure make such repairs of questionable value. Hence, welding and brazing should only be attempted when replacement
parts are not available. Since the semitrailer is designed to carry greatly concentrated loads, most of the structure requires
specialized welding procedures. Any personnel performing repair welding on the semitrailer must be properly trained and
certified to conduct all phases of the welding procedure. After any welding, an inspection must be conducted.

0147 TM 9-2330-381-13
NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING
WARNING
Fluorescent penetrant may cause injury to personnel. Avoid skin contact. In case
of skin contact, wash with warm water and soap. Failure to follow this warning may result
in severe injury or death to personnel.
1. Fluorescent penetrant inspection. A fluorescent penetrant inspection must be performed on metallic components that
have been welded. After fluorescent penetrant has been applied and a pattern has developed, any evidence of cracks is
cause for rejection. This inspection should be performed on parts as prescribed in MIL-I-6870 by operators and inspectors
certified in accordance with MIL-STD-410, with equipment according to MIL-STD-6866.
2. Magnetic particle inspection. This inspection should be performed on steel parts when possible. Steel parts that have
been reworked or reground and parts containing areas of fatigue should be tested. Shear sections and reground contact
surfaces must show no defects. Any evidence of cracks is cause for rejection. Since some stainless steel cannot be
magnetized, do not perform this test on such components. This inspection must be performed as specified in MIL-I-6870
and MIL-STD-6866 by qualified operators and inspected by qualified inspectors. On completion of inspection, pass parts
through a demagnetizing field. Wash parts and allow to air dry. Parts must be rejected if there are indications of nonmetallic
foreign solids longer than 1 in. (2.54 cm). Parts shall also be rejected if the following patterns appear:
a. Bursts - scattered, short, sharp lines caused by high temperatures. Such discontinuities usually are internal and are
seldom detected by magnetic particle inspection until surface is cut to expose burst area.
b. Flakes - separate, short, wavy lines, usually in the same general direction, caused by improper cooling. Flakes are
usually internal and are seldom detected by magnetic particle inspection until surface has been cut to expose the
flake area.
c. Grinding cracks - fine, sharp lines, tightly packed. In some surfaces, cracks may be shallow and hard to see. Grinding
cracks are usually caused by a glazed wheel, resulting in overheating. These cracks are similar to heat-treat and
hardening cracks. Grinding cracks may also be caused by too little coolant, too much feed, or too much speed.

This chapter includes a lubrication chart and instructions to be followed by the operator/crew personnel. Troubleshooting
procedures and those maintenance tasks that can be performed by the operator/crew are also included.
LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lubrication instructions are mandatory. The field maintenance officer can authorize the operator to assist in certain
maintenance functions. If a lubrication fitting will not accept grease, check fitting to ensure it is properly tightened.
Tighten fitting if loose. If fitting still will not accept grease, notify the supervisor.
2. Service intervals are based on normal operation.
a. Lubricate more often during constant use.
b. Lubricate less often during inactive periods.
c. Lubricate twice as often in extreme dust and sand conditions.
3. Lubricate after high-pressure washing, fording, or steam cleaning.
4. Clean grease fitting before lubricating.
5. Lubricate both sides of equipment.
6. DO NOT over lubricate.
7. Wipe off excess lubricant.
8. Maintain a record of all lubrication tasks performed.
9. Report any problems noted during lubrication.
10. Refer to DA PAM 738-750 for maintenance forms and procedures to record and report any findings.
LUBRICATION CHART
The lubrication chart provides instructions for lubrication procedures, use of proper materials for lubricating, and
recommended time between lubrication. Intervals are based on normal operation (ON-condition or hard time). Change the
hard time interval if you are operating the equipment under adverse operating conditions including longer-than-usual
operating hours. The hard time interval may be extended during periods of low activity. If extended, adequate preservation
precautions must be taken. Location of fittings and other points to be serviced are included.

• The flashpoint for Type ll solvent cleaning compound is 141 to 198°F (61 to 92°C) and for Type
lll it is 200 to 241°F (93 to 116°C).
• Improper cleaning methods and use of unauthorized cleaning solvents may injure personnel and
damage equipment.
• Fire extinguishers should be placed nearby when using solvent cleaning compound.
• Cloths or rags saturated with solvent cleaning compound must be disposed of in accordance
with authorized facilities’ procedures.
• Eye shields must be worn when cleaning with a wire brush. Flying rust and metal particles
may cause injury.
• Compressed air used for cleaning/drying may create airborne particles that may injure the eyes.
Always wear eye protection. Pressure must not exceed 30 psi (207 kPa) or injury to personnel
may result.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death to personnel.
WARNING
• Before performing lubrication procedures (WP 0140) on semitrailer, raise platform to highest
position, lower front (WP 0011) and rear support legs (WP 0012), and close all isolation valves
(WP 0004).
• On some semitrailers, a solar battery charger is mounted to top of gooseneck directly in front
of spare tires. Persons working on top of gooseneck must take EXTREME care not to step on
the gooseneck or trip over it. Failure to follow this warning may result in Injury to personnel
or damage to equipment.

APU CRANKCASE
1. Change oil and clean filter semiannually. Replace filter if damaged. Remove drain plug and oil filter elements. Clean filter
using cleaning solvent (WP 0170, Item 26). Lube filter and new gasket with oil (OE), and install gasket with drain plug.
Remove oil filter cap and add 1.37 qt (1.3 l) of oil (OE). Check oil level on dipstick.
0163-5
0163 TM 9-2330-381-13
HYDRAULIC TANK
2a. M1000 Semitrailer is controlled in Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP) for hydraulic oil sampling. Active Army units,
Reserve units, and National Guard activities will send an oil sample to AOAP laboratory for analysis every 365 days
(annually). An AOAP laboratory may change this interval for sampling, as well as draining and ref lling hydraulic oil.
Refer to TB 43-0211 for additional AOAP information.
2b. To gain access to hydraulic oil, place gooseneck in normal operating position (either coupled or level). Locate pipe plug on
front of hydraulic tank and visually check sight gauge on rear of tank to confirm that oil level is below pipe plug. If it
appears that oil level is too high in tank to remove plug without spilling hydraulic oil, lower level of oil in tank by raising
platform approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm). This will cause hydraulic oil to move out of tank and into system lowering level
of oil in tank. Remove pipe plug located on front of hydraulic tank and insert sampling tube to pull oil sample. When
reinstalling pipe plug, apply pipe sealant (WP 0170, Item 18) to all threads of plug.
2c. If AOAP laboratory support is not available, drain and refill hydraulic tank and clean filter annually. Replace filter if
damaged. To drain oil, close oil tank valve and remove drain plug from hydraulic tank. Check (magnetic) drain plug
for metal particles and if particles are found, wipe clean with clean rag. Remove tank inlet, attaching hardware, gasket,
and hydraulic tank fiter. Clean filter using cleaning solvent (WP 0170, Item 26). Lube filter and new gasket with clean
oil (HO). Install filter, gasket, tank inlet, and attaching hardware. Refill using hydraulic fluid (HO) as required and
open oil tank valve.
FUEL FILTER
3. Remove and replace fuel filter semiannually. To remove, turn fuel petcock to closed position. Unscrew fuel filter housing
ring and remove glass bowl and fuel filter. To replace filter, put filter on filter block, fill glass bowl half with diesel fuel
(DF) as required, and install on filter block. Secure glass bowl to block by installing filter housing ring. Turn fuel
petcock to open position to vent.
THROTTLE CABLE
4. Clean throttle cable and re-lubricate semiannually. Remove wire end from APU manual control and clean any dirt or oil
buildup from cable using rags. Spray end of cable and into cable housing with silicone lubricant and direct spray into
cable housing and allow fluid to run down into housing. Operate throttle control several times to ensure cable operates
freely. Reconnect wire end of throttle control back to APU manual control.

WARNING
Excess grease must be wiped clean when lubricating S-Cam bushings. Failure to do so may
cause brake malfunctions and injury to personnel.
UPPER SUSPENSION BEARINGS AND UPPER AND LOWER CYLINDER BEARINGS, S-CAM RETAINER,
S-CAM BUSHING, SLACK ADJUSTER, AND SUSPENSION PIVOT PINS
17. Lubricate upper suspension bearings and upper and lower cylinder bearings, S-Cam retainers, S-Cam bushings (plug
nearest axle on each brake dust shield must be removed to access S-Cam bushing fitting), slack adjuster, and suspension
pivot pins monthly. Clean surrounding areas and all fittings. Apply grease (GAA) (WP 0170, Item 12) to upper
suspension assembly and upper and lower cylinder bearings, brake, camshafts, and suspension pivot pin fittings as required.
Wipe off excess grease with rag. DO NOT OVERFILL. The suspension pivot pin has two fittings which service the same
piece. If fully serviced through one fitting, the other fitting will appear to not take grease. Deck must be in lowest
position to lubricate brake camshaft and S-Cam retainer.

FIELD MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
Maintenance functions are limited to and defined as follows:
1. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or electrical
characteristics with established standards through examination (e.g., by sight, sound, or feel). This includes scheduled
inspection and gauging and the evaluation of cannon tubes.
2. Test. To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical characteristics of an
item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards on a scheduled basis, i.e., load testing of lift devices
and hydrostatic testing of pressure hoses.
0167-1
0167 TM 9-2330-381-13
3. Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition, e.g., to clean (includes
decontaminate, when required), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, chemical fluids, or gases.
This includes scheduled exercising and purging of recoil mechanisms. The following are examples of service functions:
a. Unpack. To remove an item from packing box for service or when required for the performance of maintenance
operations.
b. Repack. To return an item to packing box after service and other maintenance operations.
c. Clean. To rid the item of contamination.
d. Touch up. To spot paint scratched or blistered surfaces.
e. Mark. To restore obliterated identification.
4. Adjust. To maintain or regulate, within prescribed limits, by bringing an item into proper position, or by setting
the operating characteristics to specified parameters.
5. Align. To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.
6. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments of test, measuring, and
diagnostic equipment used in precision measurement. This function consists of comparisons of two instruments,
one of which is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of
the instrument being compared.
7. Remove/Install. To remove and install the same item when required to perform service or other maintenance functions.
Install may be the act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position a spare, repair part, or module (component or
assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of equipment or a system.
8. Paint (ammunition only). To prepare and spray color coats of paint so that the ammunition can be identified and
protected. The color indicating primary use is applied, preferably, to the entire exterior surface as the background color
of the item. Other markings are to be repainted as original so as to retain proper ammunition identification.
9. Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place. "Replace" is authorized by
the MAC, and the assigned maintenance level is shown as the third position of the SMR code.
10. Repair. The application of maintenance services, including fault location/troubleshooting, removal/installation,
disassembly/assembly procedures, and maintenance actions to identify troubles and restore serviceability to an item by
correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly, module (component or assembly),
end item, or system.
NOTE
The following definitions are applicable to the "repair" maintenance function:
• Services. Inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, and/or replace.
• Fault location/troubleshooting. The process of investigating and detecting the cause of equipment malfunctioning;
the act of isolating a fault within a system or Unit Under Test (UUT).
• Disassembly/assembly. The step-by-step breakdown (taking apart) of a spare/functional group-coded item to the
level of its least component, which is assigned an SMR code for the level of maintenance under consideration
(i.e., identified as maintenance significant).
• Actions. Welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, machining, and/or resurfacing.
11. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely serviceable/operational
condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical publications. Overhaul is normally the highest
degree of maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does not normally return an item to a like-new condition.
12. Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to a like-new
condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of material maintenance
applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to zero those age measurements (e.g.,
hours/miles) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.
