hen the driver’s vision enhancer (DVE), video display terminal (VDT), or
remote weapons system (RWS) sights on your Stryker get dirty,
don’t
use a shirt
tail or a greasy rag to wipe them off.
Using whatever’s handy to
clean those items will lead to
scratching. Eventually, the glass
gets so bad that you have trou-
ble seeing through it.
Your best bet is to use lens
tissue, NSN 6640-00-285-4694,
and lens cleaner, NSN 6850-00-
227-1887, for cleaning.

Stryker…
Do You Do Windows?
I’m finally going to clean
that filthy glass on your
driver’s vision enhancer!
I’d rather be
dirty
than
scratched!
Glass dirty? Clean with lens tissue and lens cleaner
Hey, watch the feet!
That’s what the Stryker would like to say every time you mechanics put your size
12s on the thermal control manifold in the engine compartment.
Stepping on the manifold can loosen or even crack the seals on the two quick-dis-
connect couplings. Then you’ve got a hydraulic leak to fix.
Instead, use the non-skid step on top of the rocker cover.
Step here…
…not on thermal control manifold!

A
re you
up-to-snuff on your
Stryker’s brakes, drivers?
Just because it looks like an over-
sized SUV with eight tires doesn’t mean
you can brake it like one.
Some first-time Stryker drivers have never driven a
vehicle with air brakes. So they treat it like their POVs and
pump the brakes when stopping, especially in wet or icy conditions.
Bad idea. You’ll use up your air pressure that way, and maybe even
the brakes. Steady pressure on the brakes keeps the air pressure up and will
bring your Stryker to a smooth stop.

elp!!
