Lube right for smooth rotation.Some Avenger missile repairmen think they can take care of the semiannual lubing of the turret ring gear/azimuth assembly by just squirting lube through the access cover. It just isn't so! To do a proper lubing job, you have to first clean off the old grease, which means de-mating the turret from the HMMWV HMMWV High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV is a trademark of AM General LLC; aka HUMVEE, also a trademark of AM General LLC) . If you don't, the old grease hardens and makes it difficult for the turret to turn. That can break ring gear teeth of cause the inserts for the azimuth azimuth (ăz`əməth), in astronomy, one coordinate in the altazimuth coordinate system. It is the angular distance of a body measured westward along the celestial horizon from the observer's south point. motor bracket to pop out. If that happens, you'll have to get depot repairmen to pay a trip to your unit to repair the damage. Same thing can happen if you don't use the right lube. The wrong lube can soon turn to sludge and make turning the turret a strain. OK, NOW TURN TO THE RIGHT After you de-mate the Avenger, clean the old grease off the ring gear with a rag. Being careful to keep your hands away from the pinion pinion rear section of a bird's wing; holds the flight feathers. gears, rotate the turret in small increments as you wipe off the old oil from the azimuth drive pinion gears. Make sure the ring gear and pinion gears are clean and free of obstructions.
