A Check Test of the Winterization Kit for the M578 Light Recovery Vehicle was conducted. The objectives of the test were to determine the suitability of the winterization kit for use under arctic winter conditions, determine if the previously reported deficiencies and shortcomings had been corrected and to evaluate the modified winterization kit components. The test vehicle with winterization kit and modified components installed was operated for 474.3 miles and 57.5 hours during the FY68 test season, and for 914.4 miles and 213.3 hours during the FY69 test season. Cold Starting, Suitability of the Crew Heater System, Functional Suitability of Modified Components, Human Factors Engineering, Maintenance Evaluation and Durability and Reliability sub-tests were conducted.
