T
he Mil-Std engine for the RL-207 reeling machine, NSN 3895-00-892-4583, has
been replaced with NSN 2805-01-169-1100.
Check the engine data plate. If you have part number 2A016-4, you have the
upgraded engine. If you have part number 2A016-1, -2, or -3, order the new engine
when you need to replace the old one.
While you’re looking at the engine data plate, check out the upper and lower V-
belts. Both of these belts should be smooth—no teeth. If you have one with teeth,
replace it. It could grab and cause injury or equipment damage. NSN 3030-01-290-
1371 brings the upper belt. NSN 3030-01-158-7527 brings the lower belt.
One final point: these reels are machines and they need to be lubed and preven-
tive maintenance needs to be done. Too many of these reels are sitting out in the
weather and are being neglected. Get your RL-207 in tip-top shape and it will be
ready to do your reeling job when called on.

Electrostatic Discharge…
I
f you’ve ever zapped someone with just a touch, you know what an electrostatic
discharge is. That small spark of electricity won’t hurt you, but it can do some
seri-
ous
damage to commo parts and circuit cards.
Discharge your ESD troubles by using ESD field service kit, NSN 4940-01-253-
5368. It limits static buildup and carries charges away from your body (and the elec-
tronic part you’re handling) to ground.
Instructions for
a self-test and
how to use the kit
are printed on the
work-surface mat.
