Use:


Late in 1936 the tractors began to be used by the 1st Motorised Artillery Regiment (pułk artylerii motorowej - 1.Pamot), where they were to replace the French Citroën-Kegresse P14 and P17 and P17 tractors (although by the beginning of World War II all tractors had failed to be replaced).


In the summer of 1939, during mobilization, the regiment formed the 3rd Motorized Artillery Detachment. Its light artillery batteries were assigned to the 16th Motorized Artillery Detachment (4 x 100 mm howitzers wz. 14/19P and 4 x 75 mm field guns wz. 97, 18 tractors) of the 10th Cavalry Brigade and the 2nd Motorized Artillery Detachment (8 x 75 mm field guns wz. 97) of the WBP-M Motorized Brigade. Each detachment (dywizjon artylerii motorowej - dam) had two batteries with four guns and 18 tractors.


Another unit formed from the regiment was the 6th Motorized Artillery Detachment attached to the Army "Łódź" (Lodz). This heavy artillery unit had 3 batteries with four 120 mm guns wz.1878/09/31 (Schneider). The detachment fought from September 1939 in the area of Zamosc (from the armament of this detachment there are known photos of the short version of the tractor).


The PVOs were used by the 11th anti-aircraft artillery detachment (dywizjon artylerii przeciwlotniczej) armed with 75 mm anti-aircraft guns wz. 36 Star.
