Back off the pressure.


High-pressure water is a sure way to remove stubborn dirt from your tank, crewmen. It's also a sure way to damage components like the muzzle reference sensor (MRS MRS - Modifiable Representation System.

 section of the 10-1 TMs specifically prohibits the use of high- pressure water on the MRS. High-pressure forces water inside the MRS and it's damaged.

So how do you clean the MRS? Follow these steps:

1. Depress the main gun until the MRS can be reached. If the MRS on your tank is tritium-powered, handle it carefully. If you can't see any illumination through the inspection window lens, double-wrap the MRS in plastic and tell your mechanic. If you see illumination, go to step 2.

3. Squirt a gentle stream of water at the two MRS lenses to flush away dirt and dust particles.

4. Soak lens paper, NSN 6640-00-285-4694, with lens cleaning compound, NSN 6850-00-227-1887. Clean both lenses with a gentle, circular motion In physics, circular motion is rotation along a circle: a circular path or a circular orbit. The rotation around a fixed axis of a three-dimensional body involves circular motion of its parts. .
