ual control. Observe the accuracy <strong>of</strong>' car st.op-.<br />

ping positions, functioning <strong>of</strong> all interlock,<br />

facili ties, operation <strong>of</strong> the brake, the free,<br />

wheeling device and the car safety latch.<br />

72. Hydrau lie 0 i l. - The oil to be used in the power<br />

plant system, the dashpot and the door operating system is that<br />

designated in Ordnance Specification No. 1113. All oil when<br />

inserted must be strained through a fine mesh wire strainer<br />

<strong>of</strong> at least 120 wires to the inch. The use <strong>of</strong> cloth strainers<br />

is not desirable since such material tends to cause an accumulation<br />

<strong>of</strong> lint in the system. Newassemblies should be drained<br />

after fifteen hours operation and should then be thoroughly<br />

flushed clean and refilled with fresh oi1. The system must<br />

be inspected and analysis <strong>of</strong> oil sample must be performed at<br />

least once monthly. If there is evidence <strong>of</strong> sludge, water or<br />

acidi ty, trace source, drain, flush and refill with fresh oil.<br />

The amount <strong>of</strong> oil required for one power plant system is 32<br />

gallons. The system requires venting as indicated in paragraph<br />

69. '<br />

CAUTION: Whenfilling the systemwithoil for<br />

the first time, or after the system has been<br />

completely drained, the following 'procedure<br />

is to be used. Remove the filler plug from<br />

the top <strong>of</strong> the B-end and fill the hydraulic<br />

motor case with oil. Next fill the A-end<br />

through the oil filler to the top oil level<br />

petcock. After the equipment has been run for<br />

a short time additional oil, will have to be<br />

added in the A-end to bring the oil level to<br />

a point between the two oil level petcocks.<br />

73. Lubrication. - The powder hoist assemblies must be<br />

lubricated with the lubricants and according to the frequencies<br />

specified on-the four lubrication charts appended.<br />

74. Buffer fluid. -The liquid to be used in the buffers<br />

at the foot <strong>of</strong> the trunk is standard recoil cylinder liquid<br />

as specified in the latest revision <strong>of</strong>.Ordnance Data No. 1914.<br />

75. Speed limitations - s an ua t Control. -Tn manual con-<br />

, trol operation, without the control pump, air is drawn into<br />

the main circuit. This causes vibration <strong>of</strong> pipe lines and considerable<br />

noise, the amount <strong>of</strong> air and resultant vibration and<br />

noise d'epending' upon the speed that the powder car is hoisted<br />

or lowered.<br />

In order to reduce the amount <strong>of</strong> air entering the system, the<br />

control should not be positioned to more than one-third <strong>of</strong> its<br />

full stroke movement (for both hoisting and lowering). Con-
