grades specified, without stalling slipping, overheating or upsetting.
3.4.7.1 Longitudinal grades. The vehicle shall ascend not less than a 3 percent grade at a
minimum speed of 30 mph when loaded with cross-country payload and towed load. Vehicle
shall ascend 60 percent grade when loaded with cross-country payload and without towed load.
Grades shall have smooth, dry concrete road surface.
3.4.7.2 Side slopes. The vehicle shall negotiate 20 percent side slopes in either direction
when loaded with cross-country payload.
3.4.8 Braking ability. The vehicle fully equipped and loaded with highway payload,
shall be decelerated, held, and controlled by use of the brakes under the conditions specified for
each braking system. Road surface shall be smooth, dry concrete.
3.4.8.1 Service brakes. Application of service brakes shall stop, hold, and control the

towed load, motionless on a dry concrete, 40 percent grade when headed up or headed down
grade with rated cross-country payload (see table XIV).
3.4.9 Cramping angle. The front wheels shall have a full cramping angle of 27 to
28 degrees at the wheel on the inside of the turning circle. Axle stops shall be provided and
adjusted to obtain the angle specified. When adjusted axle stops shall be so set that the angle
adjustment cannot be readily altered and shall positively limit the cramping angle to the value
specified.

at governed rpm of 1100 and transmission in second gear, the dispensing system shall dispense
fuels other than diesel oil through the filter separator system, at a discharge rate of not less than
42 GPM and not more than 48 GPM of clean fuel at the end of a 35 foot length of 1-1/2 inch
discharge hose shall be maintained. When dispensing diesel oil the discharge rate of 42 GPM
may be reduced to 25 GPM. The dispensing system shall operate without malfunction or leaks
and the dump valve shall function properly.
3.4.10.1 Fuel cleanliness. The filter separator shall remove all undissolved water and
shall limit the passage of solid contaminants to not more than 0.5 milligrams per liter of fuel.
