Dear Editor,
The doors on the Avenger’s HMWWV often don’t shut tight. Crew
members slam a door to make it latch, but usually only one latch catches.
If the door only partially latches, it doesn’t seal well and fumes from the
missile firings can get in the truck. Not only that, but slamming eventually
ruins the door gasket and that deadlines the Avenger.
But soldiers won’t have to slam the doors if repairmen adjust the door
latch studs. It takes just minutes. Here’s how:
Avenger Missile System . . .
Thanks for the warning and the
quick adjustment. For more on the
door latch adjustment, see page 15-8
in TM 9-1440-433-24-2.
