G/VLLD . . .
Trigger Housing
Never use the trigger housing as a
handle. If the housing breaks, you have
a G/VLLD needing major repairs.
Cover
Cover the G/VLLD when you’re
not using it. The fan and trigger are
magnets for dust—and you can’t clean
them. If they get too dirty, forget
lasing.
Traversing Unit
Feel its azimuth gimbal for dirt or
rough spots that will make fluid track-
ing difficult. Clean off dirt with a tooth-
brush and cloth. Smooth rough spots
with crocus cloth, NSN 5350-00-025-
7935. Then, put a light coat of CLP on
the gimbal to make tracking smooth.
Feet
Use a toothbrush to clean the tripod
foot pads where the pin moves in and
out. Then give the pins a light coat of
CLP. Do the same with the connecting
rod threads. If the pads and rods bind,
it makes it difficult to adjust the tri-
pod. The threads can be stripped and
the feet knocked off.
Smooth rough spots
Cover G/VLLD as much as possible
When you remove the battery, be sure
to pull the locking pin completely out
before you pull down the battery. Oth-
erwise, you break the bracket.
A light coat of GAA or CLP helps
the locking pin move smoothly.
If the bracket breaks off in one piece,
stick it back on with super glue.
Clean and lube foot pins

you guys forgot

condition
?
Fit battery bracket in first
he ground/vehicular laser locater
designator (G/VLLD) is sensitive to
rough treatment. A few knocks or jolts
is its ticket to major repairs. So handle
your G/VLLD with extra care.
Battery
The battery pivot bracket breaks eas-
ily. A broken bracket makes the bat-
tery unusable. Always lay the battery
so the bracket’s up.
Install the rear of the battery first so
that the bracket locks in place. Then
push the other battery end into place
until you can push in the locking pin.
If the pin won’t slide in easily, reposi-
tion the battery and try again. Don’t
force the locking pin. That can break
the bracket.
