Dear Editor,
We think these suggestions will help other MICLIC crews forge clear
paths through mine fields.
•
There's never enough room in
the MICLIC's storage box for
everything you need, so things
like TMs or turnbuckles turn up
missing when you need them.
We eliminated that problem by
building a wooden box measur-
ing 4x2x1 feet. We keep the
box in the vehicle that tows
the MICLIC. You can probably
find a box in your motor pool
that works just as well.
•
Wrap some sort of padding
like bubble wrap around the
control box before you store
it. If its plastic case cracks,
your MICLIC is out of busi-
ness. For the same reason,
never toss the control box
around when you're operating.
•
Keep the cover on the tub
during travel. That prevents
part of the line charge from
bouncing out if the trailer hits
a bad bump. Getting the
charge back in the tub cor-
rectly is hard to do in the field.
