Watch your feet.
Lots of
gunner’s hand stations have to
be replaced because gunners
don’t watch their feet when
they climb in and out of the
turret. Climb into the turret
by putting your left foot on
the step on the left side of the
turret and then your right foot
on the left side of the seat.
Climb out by reversing that.
Don’t toss stuff in the turret.
That can break the sight’s mount
or gunner’s hand station switches,
and even poke a hole in the turret
floor. The less you put in the turret,
the better. Duffle bags and rifles
can bounce around and break items
like the sight mount. If you leave
your helmet sitting on the torque
tube behind the seat, it can rip the
sight mount out of the wall when
the Avenger’s elevated.
Be Kind

Avenger
Be Kind
to Your
Avenger
the avenger
was built
light so it
could fit on
the hmwwv.
that means
it’s
more
fragile
than
most weapon
systems.
that’s why
you need
to be kind
to your
avenger.
there shouLd
be nothing
random about
these acts of
kindness…
Left foot
on step
Right foot on
left side of seat
Tossing equipment in turret can break
things like gunner’s hand station
thank you
for being
so
kind to me!
we need to
be kind, since
you’re so
easily hurt!
I know!
I know!
