TOW 2 Missile System . . .
Lay down
op sight
like this:
Be careful screwing in the cable to
the J1 connector on the night sight.
The connectors have keyways. If you
don’t line up the keyways, you bend
the connector pins.
you won’t be able to mount the night
sight on top of the op sight. Lay the op
sight down with the eyepiece off the
ground.
When you mount the night sight, the
locking lever should pull back easily.
If it doesn’t, the night sight isn’t posi-
tioned right. Adjust it and try again. If
you force the locking lever, you break
the cam post.
But don’t lay the op sight down on
its rails. That breaks the cam post and
Same goes for the op sight handle.
The best way to carry the op sight is to
grip the hole in the latch assembly.
Locking lever should pull back easily
Remove night sight from case like this:
Grip op sight
through hole
Of course, getting the night sight in
and out of its carrying case is not
simple. If you grab something like a
cable connector to lift the sight, the
connector’s wiring is ripped loose.
Use the locking bracket as a handle
and put your other hand between the
cooler and eyepiece. But once you get
the sight out, cradle it with both hands.
The bracket’s not sturdy enough to be
used as a carrying handle.

Line up keyways
our TOW 2 missile system will
stand up to most action, but it has a
few parts that are easily damaged by a
misplaced foot or too much muscle.
Sights
The best protection you can give the
sights is to keep them in their cases
when not in use and to tie them down
for travel. Sights are usually damaged
when they’re just stuck in the back of
a truck and left to bounce around.
