Floodlight Set…
Mosquito Netting…
PULL UP THE CARGO NET
Y
ou know that mosquito netting, NSN
7210-00-266-9736, will keep pesky
mosquitoes away. But it will protect
you from crawling critters too, if you
remember to tuck yourself in.
Once you have the net installed over
the frame poles, NSN 7210-00-267-
5641, tuck it
under
your sleeping bag.
If you don’t tuck it, it’s like lowering a
cargo net to give the creepy crawlers a
ladder to reach your tasty skin!

Tuck it in
Don t Be Shocked!

Don t Be Shocked!
Add A Ground
T
he mast-mounted electric floodlight
set, NSN 6230-00-299-5642, is haz-
ardous to your health because it does
not come with an equipment ground-
ing wire. Not good!
So
Communications-Electronics
Command (CECOM) came up with a
fix and your power/generator main-
tainer can apply it.
For each telescoping mast he needs
two 3-ft lengths and one 155-ft length
of #8 AWG green grounding wire,
1.
Disconnect the power cable from
the generator set and fully retract the
telescopic mast before starting.
2.
With the floodlights mounted on the
mast, install one 3-ft grounding wire
between the No. 3 and No. 2 flood-
lights by connecting the wire to the
floodlight mounting bracket bolts.
3.
Next, install the other 3-ft ground-
ing wire between the No. 2 and No. 1
floodlight.
4.
Finally, connect the 155-ft ground-
ing wire to the mounting bracket bolt
of No. 1 floodlight.
Run the grounding
wire down the telescoping mast next to
the power cable. Use tie wraps, NSN
to secure the
grounding wire to the power cable.
5.
Connect the other end of the
grounding wire to the generator’s
ground lug.
C’mon
guys!
soup’s
on!
