Answers for avenger problems.


Dear Editor,

We gave our Avengers some rough workouts in Afghanistan and as a result found some parts of the Avenger that needed a little more attention than what the TM prescribes. For instance ...

 lines. If you're doing some rough travelling, daily take off the access panel for the ECU/PPU and check the bracket for cracks, especially the upper right area. That's where cracks usually appear. Even If you're not doing rough driving, it's a good idea to check the bracket at least monthly.

Your 1201, of aviation shop can usually reinforce the bracket by welding it. That let, you keep your Avenger on the road until you can get a new bracket, which come, with PN 13502309.

Azimuth drive motor retaining brackets' bolts Rough travel loosens them, too. If they become too loose, the bolts' inserts pull out and either the azimuth drive motor gear or the main gear for the pedestal can be damaged. Check the bots for looseness daily if you're driving over lots of bumps. Tighten them if necessary.

If you're using the FLIR for perimeter night watches in a hostile area, don't use the same system all night, night; after night. That will soon put that FLIR out of business.

If someone's big foot breaks the seat, try using a fiberglass repair kit to fix the area where the seams split before you order a new seat.
