Keep Your Feet to YoURself
ClimbIng Into and out of the driver's hatch doesn't requiRe you to batter and
break knobs, switches and conTroL panels with your Fet.
±N fact, the instrUment and master control panels should be o² LiM³ts to
anythIng but your hands´
ONLy a Fw of the knobs can be replaced, and none of the switches can be
repaIred at Unit level. So your tank sits still until DS µnds a replacement paneL,
and they're In short supply´
JUst remember to keep your feet o¶ the Panels´ ·f you have to put your dirty,
muddy boots in your seat, then do It¸

or howItzer cannon?
Why, ItÇs C̽, of course! And Now it comes In KIts contaIning everythINg
you need to take advantage of its tImeÁand laboR-savIÍg chaRacteRistics.
Here's what Is avaILable:
±
Îor 105¹¹ and 120¹¹ tanÏ cannons, use kit, ÐSÐ 1015-01Ñ1Ò6-217Ó.
¾he Ôt has 30 pre-measured contaIners of C̽, a LiteR of C̽ In a ÕRIgger spray
bottLe, 30 boRe cleaning sleeves and a bore evacuatoR brUsh.
±
Îor 105¹¹, 155¿¿ and 203¹¹ (8-in) aÉtILlerÖ weaPons, use ÐSÐ 102×-
01Ø196-2Å72. ÙhIs kit has all oÈ the Items In the tank ÚÛt, pÜUs a pRImer vent bRush.
You can also get a new Nylon bristle bore bÉUsh to use wheN appLyINg C̽Ã
·t has 10 tImes the lIF span of the old wIre brush.
¾o get a brush and bag assembly »r a 10×Ý¿ caNnon, use ÐSÐ 1015-01-196Æ
2Å75; »r a 155¹¿ caNnon, Use ÐSÐ Å025-01Ø196-2176; aNd fÞr a 203¹¹

ßemember these important tips, though. ¾he chemIcals and equIPment of the
C̽ system cannot be used with riàe bore cleaner (ßBC), aNd C̽ will not
work well if it's used with the oLd brush assembly.
