Keep ammo doors moving.Lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of Proper lubrication should be your first priority, since lack of lube will result in a stuck door almost every time. A semiannual coat of solid film lubricant (SFL SFL - System Function Language. Assembly language for the ICL2900. "SFL Language Definition Manual", TR 6413, Intl Computers Ltd. ), NSN NSN National Stock Number NSN Nokia Siemens Networks NSN National Storytelling Network NSN NATO Stock Number NSN New Substances Notification (CEPA) NSN National Student Number (NZ) NSN Never Say Never 9150-01-260-2534, is the way to go. Wipe away any dirt or grease that'll keep the SFL from sticking. Then, give the following areas a good coating: * Ammunition doors.

Spray all moving and touching parts. * Latches. Spray the sliding surfaces of all latches. * Ammunition tubes. Spray the inside surfaces and all rubber stops inside the ammunition tubes with SFL. That allows ammo to slide in and seat properly so that it does not hit the amino doors. Hook Latch and Housing Assembly In addition to lubing this assembly, you'll need to make sure the mounting screws are nice and tight. Vibration loosens the screws. If they break, the ammo door jams as you try to open or close it. You won't be doing any firing either way. Make it a point to eyeball See eyeballs and eyeball driven. those screw heads with a flashlight every time you check out the ammo doors and racks. If they've backed out or if they're loose enough to turn with your fingers, give your mechanic a heads up.
