Slam!
Cra-a-a-ck!
What was that? If you just slammed the door
on your M548-series cargo carrier, chances are
it was the sound of a window breaking.
The windows are safe from slamming doors
as long as they are closed. The channel each
window fits in gives it enough support to stand
up to the stress.
But when the window is open—watch out!
Close the doors a little more carefully when
the windows are open.
Better still,
keep the
windows closed. Either
way will make window
cracks a thing of the past.
aving problems with intercom
distortion on your M109A6 Paladin?
It could be caused by a buildup of
debris on the segment board cleaning
mechanism’s cleaning pad.
Para 3-8.17 of TM 9-2350-314-10

all the time. But when dirt and other
debris build up, the pads begin making
contact with the segment board. That
creates interference on the intercom.
To keep that from happening,
ACALA now recommends that the next
time the segment board needs clean-
ing, you should install new cleaning
pads. Then, when you’re finished clean-
ing, remove the pads.
With the pads removed, dirt buildup
is no longer a problem and neither is
your intercom.
Make a note of this change until the
TM is updated.
