accumulation of fungus. Inspect, clean, and lubricate to prevent deterioration of painted surfaces. Refer to Lubrication
Instructions (see Chapter 3, Section I).
b.
Dampness increases chances of corrosion. Inspect all surfaces and electrical connections for signs of
corrosion (see paragraph 1-9).
2-30. OPERATION IN SANDY OR DUSTY AREAS.

rocks can damage components on the underside of the dolly set.
2-32. OPERATION ON UNEVEN TERRAIN.
a. General.
(1)
The dolly set is designed to be able to attach to a shelter when on uneven terrain [shelter and dolly
set have up to a 12 in. (30 cm) difference in level or one wheel is 12 in. (30 cm) lower than the other wheel on the same
axle].
