Let's say you have a missile in your
TOW launch tube, but you decide not Co
fire.
Does
it
Matter
what
position
your
arMing ±ever is in?
Yep! IR Matters about $5,000 worth be-
cause Chat's how Much the Missile costs
that you could ruin by doing the wrong
thing²
The arMing ±ever has to be in the down
Position
Bfore
you
raise
the
bridge
claMp locking handle froM the lowered
(locked) position²
You MigHt not think this Makes any
differen³e because if the arMing lever is
in the up posi´ion it fliPs bacK to the
down position anyway when you raise
the bri°dge claMp locking handle²
µUt because of the way the ¶OW is
wired, ·hen the lqcking handle is raised
after the Missile has been Fired, the wire
cutter switch closes to the coMMand¸linK
·ires²
ThiS is O¹ and just what shou±d hapº
»n if the Missile has already been fired²
µUt if it hasn't, it Never will be¼ With
cuE wires, i½'s Just a $5,000 ¾uin²
¿o al·ays be careful to have the arMº
ing lever in the down Position Àefore you
raise the bridge claMP lockÁng Âandle
