Dear SFC M.S.F.,

Use NSN 9150-00-935-9807 to get one quart of hydraulic fluid for your unit's 10-ton jack. NSN 9150-00-935-9808 gets a gallon and NSN 9150-00-935-9809 gets 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid.

When you use a 2-, 4- or 10-ton hydraulic jack to lift a piece of equipment, you don 't want to worry about it being able to carry the weight. To be sure and safe, inspect the jack like it says in Para 4b(a) and Appendix E of TB 43-0142, Safety Inspection and Testing Inspection and testing

Industrial activities which ensure that manufactured products, individual components, and multicomponent systems are adequate for their intended purpose.
