Dear Editor,
If the electrical connectors of either the
Avenger’s missiles or the standard vehicle
mounted launcher (SVML) are even slightly dirty,
you’ll have firing problems.
We stopped those problems by spraying
connectors of both the missiles and SVML before
loading the missiles. That cleans out any dirt.
Another good tip is to keep SVML electrical and
cryogenic connectors capped to seal out dirt
when missiles aren’t installed.
Of course, you never want to get water near the
SVML. That causes major electrical damage.

Need Help, SPORT?
I
f you have trouble with the AN/PSM-95 soldier’s portable on-system repair
tool (SPORT) that’s part of the IFTE, help is a phone call away.
If you have a technical problem, or if your SPORT needs repair, call toll free
888-577-6780. That gets you the manufacturer’s help desk. If they can’t fix the
problem over the phone, they will give you a return authorization number and
UPS tag number to return the SPORT for repair or replacement. If you are
overseas, they will give you an express mail account number that lets you ship
the SPORT through the Army post office.
The manufacturer will repair or replace the bad SPORT within 72 hours of
receiving it.
SPORT can be shipped by your unit directly to the manufacturer while it’s
under warranty. Check the label on the back of the tool for the warranty expira-
tion date. The warranties won’t begin to run out until 2002.
