f you have ever installed the M139 mine dispenser on your UH-60A or UH-

60L helicopter, then you know that its launcher rack mounts don’t always line up

with the support panel mounts.

But don’t touch that hammer! Hammered-in pins won’t let you quickly release

the mine dispenser in an emergency. You will even have trouble getting the pins

out manually. Save yourself the trouble by correctly installing the pins. Here’s

how:

* Apply DC-4 lubricant, NSN

similar lubricant, to the inside

of the pin holes.

* Shift and lift the support

panel until its mount holes

match those on the launcher

rack.

* Insert each quick release pin

all the way into the mount holes, then release it.

Keep this procedure handy until TM 9-1095-208-23-2&P is updated.
