Try These Tidy
Turret Tidbits
•
Water, steam and compressed air are out. Remove dirt by
loosening it with a stiff brush and by vacuuming it out with
a vacuum such as NSN 7910-00-267-1205.
•
If you know there is water and more dirt under the turret
floor plates, leave it there and notify your mechanic. He’ll
remove the turret floor plates to get at the mess.
There’s a good reason why your mechanic does this and
not you. There are lots of electrical cables and connections
in the turret floor. If you’re unfamiliar with these connec-
tions, you can fry yourself or damage equipment.
•
Use dry cleaning solvent on metal surfaces that are above
floor level. Make sure you have plenty of ventilation and
keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
•
Use isopropyl alcohol, NSN 6810-
00-753-4993, or lens cleaning solu-
tion, NSN 7930-00-664-6910, to
clean optical lenses. Wipe the lenses
dry with lens paper, NSN 6640-00-
285-4694.
•
Use soap and warm water to
remove oil and grease from canvas,
rubber or plastic equipment. Rinse
with clean rags dipped in water and
dry thoroughly.

Avoid commercial cleaners, degreasers,
scouring pads, sponges, pipe cleaners, and so
forth. They may clean, but they also damage.
Your Bradley

for it.

you tell the

YoU’RE supposed
