TM 9-2350-277-10 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION — Continued 0002 00 SPALL LINERS The M113A3 only is equipped with spall liners to protect against the effects of armor piercing rounds that may penetrate the exterior armor plate. Acting as a barrier against flying metallic chips, the liners improve the survivability of the personnel and the carrier. ENGINE COOLING AND AIR INDUCTION — ALL CARRIERS Air for engine combustion and cooling is drawn through the intake grille and radiator. Air sweeps down around the power plant and out through the exhaust grille above the fan. Fresh air is drawn through the intake grille for the air cleaner. Keep the intake grille clear of debris to help the radiator get all the air it can get. The same applies for the air cleaner which supplies fresh clean air to the engine. The air cleaner is equipped with a restriction indicator to inform the driver when the air cleaner element needs cleaning. 0002 00-41 Change 3
