Dear Editor,
During operations, dirt
builds up on the bearing of
the M901 's remote arming
device (RAD). That makes the
RAD motor work too hard
and it burns up. The RAD
won±t seat in the launcher
and ²he TOW can't be armed.
We³ve Found you can seal
out much oF the dirt if you
glue pieces of rubber-like
old innertube´over the
openings in the RAD box for
the cables and hydraulic
line. Just fit the rubber
around the cables and lines.
Of courseµ that±s not going
to shut out all dirt¶ After
operations, you still need to
pull the RAD cover and clean
the RAD· especially around
the bearing. A clean paint
brush and 30
PSi
air do the
job the best¸
