MIL-T-62110G
4.4 First production vehicle inspection. The first vehicle produced under the contract, prior to prime painting, shall be inspected by the contractor at his plant under the direction of and in the presence of Government representatives. The purpose of the inspection shall be to determine vehicle conformance to the contract. Acceptance of the first production vehicle shall not constitute a waiver by the Government of its rights under the provisions of the contract.
4.4.1 Weight. The first production vehicle shall be weighed to determine the curb weight and distribution of the curb weight on front and rear axles. The total imposed loads on front and rear axles shall be computed by the contractor and verified by the Government, using the curb weight, the operator weight at 175 pounds, and the payload to provide the specified GVW or a payload of 2,500 pounds, whichever requires the greater GVW. The calculated imposed loads on the front and rear axles shall be compared to the suspension, axle and tire load capacity ratings to determine if these components are of adequate capacity to meet contractual requirements.
* 4.4.2 Road test. The vehicle, for 4x2 and 6x4 models and for models built to all wheel drive while on the chassis manufacturer's production line shall be road tested by the contractor with payload. The road test shall be for not less than 10 miles at speeds up to 52 mph. The vehicle, for all wheel drive models qualifying under 3.1.1.13, shall be road tested with and without payload. Payload shall be distributed first, so that the front axle is loaded to GAWR and the vehicle is loaded to GVW and second, with the rear axle loaded to GAWR and the vehicle loaded to GVW. The road test for each of the three conditions shall be for not less than 30 miles at speeds up to 52 mph over highways and gravel roads and for not less than 5 miles at speeds up to 15 mph over cross country terrain with ground and grade requiring all wheel drive. During the loaded and empty portions of the road test, the brakes shall be applied firmly, bringing the
vehicle to a sudden stop not less than 5 times during each portion of the road test. During the road test, the front and rear suspension and the drivetrain shall be periodically inspected for interference and contact with other vehicle components. Abnormal contact of the drivetrain or suspension components with other components shall be cause for rejection. Front spring bumpers shall not make contact with frame stops except under the most extreme cross country conditions. Operational or mechanical failures of the vehicle components during the road test shall be cause for rejection. Failure includes permanent deformation as well as breakage.
* 4.4.2.1 Alternate fuel test. When operational capability on JP-4, JP-5 and JP-8 is specified, the first production vehicle shall be tested with these fuels. The contractor shall obtain a sufficient amount of JP-4, JP-5 and JP-8 to allow the first production vehicle to perform the following tests. When changing fuel types, the fuel tank and filters shall be drained, the new fuel substituted, and sufficient idling or driving shall be performed to purge the previous fuel type
