About

TM 11-900 C l TECHNICAL MANUAL 6. c. (Added.) Operation under extreme conditions. (1) Arctic. Moisture from the air will tend to condense on inner surfaces of the gasoline tank, and eventually will freeze in the gas line or carburetor. To prevent this occurrence, keep the gasoline tank full, and filter the gasoline through a chamois skin to remove water. Because of incomplete combustion, gaso line is apt to drain into the crankcase and dilute the oil. Therefore, change oil more frequendy than under normal conditions. Use the grade of oil specified in paragraph 5a for the temperatures expected, in order that the oil will flow freely and lubricate properly. (2) Desert. Sand will choke the carburetor, plug the feed line, score the cylinder, and increase wear on bearings and generator brushes.
