WARNINGS

DO NOT USE ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AROUND AMMUNITION UNLESS IT HAS A NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE RATING OF CLASS I FOR FLAMMABLE VAPOR, CLASS II FOR EXPLOSIVE DUSTS
(INCLUDING AMMUNITION), OR IS DUAL RATED IF BOTH VAPOR AND DUSTS ARE PRESENT.

GROUND ALL AMMUNITION CONTAINING EXPLOSIVES WHILE WORKING ON IT.

FUZE CAVITY LINER MUST BE IN PLACE PRIOR TO CLEANING FUZE WELL OR THREADS WITH
SMALL STAINLESS STEEL BRUSH.

DO NOT USE ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AROUND AMMUNITION WITH EXPLOSIVE (E.G., A
SEMIFIXED CARTRIDGE CASE OR A PROJECTILE WITH AN OPEN FUZEWELL) UNLESS IT HAS A
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE RATING OF CLASS I FOR FLAMMABLE VAPOR, CLASS II FOR EXPLO-
SIVE DUSTS (INCLUDING AMMUNITION), OR IS DUAL RATED IF BOTH VAPOR AND DUSTS ARE
PRESENT.

ALL AMMUNITION CONTAINING EXPLOSIVES MUST BE GROUNDED WHEN BEING WORKED ON.

ASSURE THAT DECK SANDER OR ANY OTHER POWER TOOL BEING USED FOR DERUSTING IS PROP-
ERLY GROUNDED (I.E., PLUGGED INTO A THREE-WIRE SOCKET OR THE THIRD/WIRE IS SECURELY
CONNECTED TO A GOOD GROUND.)

USE ONLY NON-SPARKING WIRE BRUSHES ON AMMUNITION - EVEN ON ARTILLERY PROJECTILES

WITH FUZEWELLS SEALED WITH A NOSE PLUG. DO NOT USE WIRE BRUSHES ANYWHERE NEAR
PRIMER ON REAR OF CARTRIDGE CASE OR ON FUSES.

ACETONE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE; KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARKS, AND OPEN FLAMES;
KEEP CONTAINER CLOSED; USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION; AND AVOID PROLONGED OR REPEATED
CONTACT WITH THE SKIN. THE VAPOR IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND MAY TRAVEL CONSIDERABLE
DISTANCE TO A SOURCE OF IGNITION AND FLASHBACK. ACETONE CAN REACT VIGOROUSLY WITH
OXIDIZING MATERIALS.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE ELECTRIC PRIMER OF THE CARTRIDGE BY ANY METAL OBJECT
OR TOOL.

FUZE CAVITY LINER MUST BE IN PLACE PRIOR TO CLEANING FUZE WELL OR THREADS WITH
SMALL STAINLESS STEEL BRUSH, OR ACETONE DAMPENED RAGS.

STORE RAGS IN NONCOMBUSTIBLE SELF-CLOSING CONTAINERS. PLACE WASTES OR USED RAGS

IN WATER FILLED CONTAINERS. AREAS WILL BE WELL VENTILATED WHERE SOLVENTS AND
PAINTS ARE USED.

PALLETS MARKED WITH LETTER “P” HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH PENTACHLOROPHENOL (PENTA)
AND MUST NOT BE BURNED.

IF AT ANY TIME DURING REPLACEMENT OF BURSTERS, SMOKE OR HEAT IS OBSERVED ESCAPING

FROM THE FUZE WELL, IMMEDIATELY IMMERSE PROJECTILE IN A DRUM OF WATER. DESTROY
PROJECTILE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS.

Change 11 a
TM 9-1300-251-34&P

DO NOT DIRECTLY APPLY ANY FORM OF TAPE TO SURFACE OF COMBUSTIBLE CARTRIDGE CASE. IF
TAPE IS APPLIED TO COMBUSTIBLE CASE, REMOVAL OF TAPE MAY CAUSE PEELING OFF OF POLY-
URETHANE FINISH.

DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF CLEANING SOLVENT OR WATER TO CLEAN THE COMBUSTIBLE CAR-
TRIDGE CASE.

DO NOT BUFF AREA WITH YELLOWISH-WHITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL SHOWING. COMBUSTI-

BLE MATERIAL IS FRICTION SENSITIVE AND CAN AUTO-IGNITE CAUSING A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD.

WEAR RESPIRATOR DURING SPRAY PAINT OPERATIONS.

DO NOT ALLOW ACETONE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE COMBUSTIBLE CARTRIDGE CASE.

DIRECT SUPPORT AND GENERAL SUPPORT MAINTENANCE

REPAIR PARTS AND SPECIAL TOOLS LIST

Section I. INTRODUCTION

C-1. Scope.

This RPSTL lists and authorizes spares and repair parts; special tools; special test, measurement, and diagnos-
tic equipment (TMDE); and other special support equipment required for performance of direct support and
general support (DS/GS) maintenance of Artillery Ammunition. It authorizes the requisitioning, issue, and
disposition of spares, repair parts and special tools as indicated by the source, maintenance and recoverability
(SMR) codes.

C-2. General.

In addition to Section I, Introduction, this Repair Parts and Special Tools List is divided into the following sec-
tions:

a. Section II - Repair Parts List. A list of spares and repair parts authorized by this RPSTL for use in
the performance of maintenance. The list also includes parts which must be removed for replacement of the
authorized parts, Parts lists are composed of functional groups in ascending alphanumeric sequence, with the
parts in each group listed in ascending figure and item number sequence. Bulk materials are listed by item
name in FIG BULK at the end of the section. Repair parts for repairable special tools are also listed in this
section. Items listed are shown on the associated illustrations.

b. Section III- Special Tools List. Not applicable.

c. Section IV - Cross-reference Indexes. A list, in National item identification number (NIIN)

sequence, of all National stock numbered items appearing in the listings, followed by a separate list in alpha-
numeric sequence of all part numbers appearing in the list. National stock numbers and part numbers are
cross-referenced to each illustration figure and item number appearance. The figure and item number index
lists figure and item number in alphanumeric sequence and cross-references NSN, CAGEC and part number.

C-3. Explanation of Columns (Sections II).

a. ITEM NO. (Column (1)). Indicates the number used to identify items called out in the illustration.

b. SMR CODE (Column (2)). The Source, Maintenance, and Recoverability (SMR) code is a 5-
position code containing supply/requisitioning information, maintenance level authorization criteria, and dis-
position instructions, as shown in the following breakout:

C-1
TM9-1300-251-34&P

*Complete Repair: Maintenance capacity, capability, and authority to perform all corrective maintenance
tasks of the “Repair” function in a use/user environment in order to restore serviceability to a failed item.

(1) Source Code. The source code tells you how you get an item needed for maintenance, repair, or
overhaul of an end item/equipment. Source codes are always the first two positions of the SMR code.
Explanations of source codes follow:

Explanation

Stocked items; use the applicable NSN to request/requisition

items with these source codes. They fire authorized to the level
indicated by the code entered in the 3rd position of the SMR code.

** NOTE: items coded PC are subject to deterioration.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned .

individually. They are part of a kit which is authorized to the
maintenance level indicated in the 3rd position of the SMR code.
The complete kit must be requisitioned and applied.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned

individually. They must be made from bulk material which is
identified by the part number in the DESCRIPTION AND
USABLE ON CODE (UOC) column and listed in the Bulk
Material group of the repair parts list in this RPSTL. If the item
is authorized to you by the 3rd position code of the SMR code, but
the source code indicates it is made at a higher level, order the
item from the higher level of maintenance.

C-2
 TM9-1300-251-34&P

Explanation

Items with these codes are not to be requested/requisitioned

individually. The parts that make up the assembled item must be
requisitioned or fabricated and assembled at the level of maintenance
indicated by the source code. If the 3rd position code of the SMR code
authorizes you to replace the item, but the source code indicates the
item is assembled at a higher level, order the item from the higher
level of maintenance.

XA - Do not requisition an “XA” -coded item. Order its next higher assembly. (Also, refer to the
NOTE below.)

XB - If an “XB” item is not available from salvage, order it using the CAGEC and part number.

XC - Installation drawing, diagram, instruction sheet, field service drawing; identified by manufac-
turer’s part number.

XD - Item is not stocked. Order an "XD" -coded item through normal supply channels using the
CAGEC and part number given, if no NSN is available.

NOTE
Cannibalization or controlled exchange, when authorized, may be used
as a source of supply for items with the above source codes, except for
those source coded “XA” or those aircraft support items restricted by
requirements of AR 700-42.

(2) Maintenance Code. Maintenance codes tell you the level(s) of maintenance authorized to USE and
REPAIR support items. The maintenance codes are entered in the third and fourth positions of the SMR
Code as follows:

(a) The maintenance code entered in the third position tells you the lowest maintenance level
authorized to remove, replace, and use an item, The maintenance code entered in the third position will indi-
cate authorization to one of the following levels of maintenance.

L - Specialized repair activity can remove, replace and use the item.

D - Depot support level maintenance can remove, replace, and use the item.

C-3
TM9-1300-251-34&P

(b) The maintenance code entered in the fourth position tells you whether or not the item is to be
ecpaired and identifies the lowest maintenance level with the capability to do complete repair (i.e., perform all
authorized repair functions).

NOTE
Some limited repair may be done on the item at a lower level of mainte-
nance, if authorized by the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) and
SMR Codes.

C-6
 TM9-1300-251-34&P

C-6. How to Locate Repair Parts.

a. When National Stock Number or Part Number is Not Known:

(1) First. Using the table of contents, determine the assembly group or subassembly group to which the
item belongs. This is necessary since figures are prepared for assembly groups and subassembly groups, and
listings are divided into the same groups.

(2) Second. Find the figure covering the assembly group or subassembly group to which the item
belongs.

(3) Third. Identify the item on the figure and note the number(s).

(4) Fourth. Refer to the repair parts list for the figure to find the part number(s) noted on the figure.

(5) Fifth. Refer to the figure and item number index to find the NSN, if assigned.

b. When National Stock Number or Part Number is Known:

(1) First. Using the National Stock Number or the Part Number Index, find the pertinent National
Stock Number or Part Number. The NSN index is in National Item identification Number (NIIN) sequence
(See C-4.a(1)). The part numbers in the Part Number index are listed in ascending alphanumeric sequence
(See C-4.b). Both indexes cross-reference you to the illustration/figure and item number of the item you are
looking for.

(2) Second. Turn to the figure and item number, verify that the item is the one you are looking for, and
locate the item number in the repair parts list.

C-7. Abbreviations.

Liberated Manuals -- free army and government manuals

Why do I do it? I am tired of sleazy CD-ROM sellers, who take publicly

available information, slap “watermarks” and other junk on it, and sell it.
Those masters of search engine manipulation make sure that their sites that
sell free information, come up first in search engines. They did not create it...
They did not even scan it... Why should they get your money? Why are not
letting you give those free manuals to your friends?

I am setting this document FREE. This document was made by the US

Government and is NOT protected by Copyright. Feel free to share,
republish, sell and so on.

I am not asking you for donations, fees or handouts. If you can, please
provide a link to liberatedmanuals.com, so that free manuals come up first in
search engines:
