Installation
Do not try to wrestle the 95-lb re-
ceiver into the turret by yourself. It’s
a two-man job.
Protect the sear solenoid by pointing
it up so that it can’t be hit by the sides
of the turret. Never rest the receiver on
its end where it can crush the cover
connector support.
Once the receiver’s installed, con-
nect the four ammo chutes. If they’re
left dangling, they can rip out cables
when the gun’s lowered or raised.

Cable cut?
Eyeball the feed select solenoid cable
for cuts and breaks. Tape minor cuts
with electrical tape to keep them
from getting worse. A cable with ex-
posed wiring needs to be replaced by
support.
When you remove the receiver, don’t
twist it. Twisting lets the support
bracket for the gun control panel tear
off the solenoid. Just pull the receiver
straight out.
