EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES
1.
Characteristics.
a.
The 613CWD Water Distributor, used in conjunction with the 613CS Scraper, provides the Army with the capabil-
ity to efficiently build roads, helipads, airfields, landing zones/airstrips, and other engineering assets in a wide vari-
ety of geographic, environmental, and tactical situations.
b.
The machine self-loads, transports, and distributes a maximum of 2525 gallons (9,558 liters) of water, soil stabili-
zation or dust palliative solutions, providing soil stabilization, dust control, and compaction capabilities.
c.
The machine also provides power washing and de-icing operations when required.
d.
With optional attachments mounted, the machine provides soil cultivation and road grading capabilities.
e.
The machine is capable of all critical water distribution operations in a degraded mode of operation (i.e., without
ROPS/FOPS).

NOTE
Refer to Equipment Data at the end of this work package for machine dimensions, weights, fluid capacities,
and other miscellaneous equipment data.
a.
The machine consists of two sections: front tractor section and rear water tank section. These may be separated
(sectionalization) to allow external air transport by CH-47 helicopter.
b.
All parts and tools needed for sectionalization are contained within an ISU-60 container. This container also has
stowage space for parts that are removed from the machine for sectionalization.
c.
After sectionalization, the tractor half of this machine is reassembled with the water tank half. The tractor may also
be assembled and operated with the scraper half of the 613CS Scraper (interchangeability).
d.
The machine can be transported by driving onto the following aircraft: C-17 and C-5. After reconfiguration, it can
be driven onto a C-130 for transport.
e.
The machine can be rigged on an air delivery platform for airdrop from C-130 aircraft.
f.
Commercial trailers, trains or marine vessels can also transport the machine.
g.
The machine can fresh-water ford to a depth of 3.28 ft (1 m) without damage or contamination of lubricants.
h.
The front tractor section has the following capabilities and features:
(1)
Caterpillar 3116TA turbocharged diesel engine with six in-line cylinders, generating 175 horsepower @
2300 RPM;
(2)
integral ether cold start for engine startup down to -25F (-32C);
(3)
Caterpillar powershift, manual transmission with six forward speeds and one reverse;
(4)
operator's cab with adjustable seat and steering column/wheel;
(5)
removable bolt-on ROPS/FOPS canopy;
(6)
front full-floating drive axle with outboard planetary final drives;
(7)
differential lock control to reduce wheel slippage when high traction is required;
(8)
articulated frame steering with two double-acting steering cylinders;
(9)
oil sampling valves for engine, transmission, and hydraulic systems;
(10)
NATO slave receptacle; and
(11)
mounting provisions for M16 rifle and portable fire extinguisher inside cab, and decontamination appara-
tus at left front of tractor.
