Don’t let it sit.
Too many Javelins are left to gather cobwebs for months at a time.
Problems that would be IDed by the built-in-tests (BIT) go undetected. Then when
you are Fnally ready to Fre the Javelin, it’s not Ft for duty.
Just sticking the battery in the Javelin
monthly and letting it run for 30 minutes
will keep it ready for action. Do the
same for the Feld tactical trainer, too.
Sergeants’ Time is a good time to
power up the Javelin and refresh your
knowledge of how it works. And don’t
forget the 180-day veriFcations that need
to be done by support.

Keep CLU with its case.
Each CLU
is paired with a speciFc storage case.
They both have the same ID number.
By keeping the CLU in its own case,
you protect the CLU and make it easier
to track.
If any of your Javelin cases are ever
damaged or disappear, contact the Javelin
Integrated Technical Operations Center
for a replacement. Call (888) 528-4862
or email:
jvitoc@jvjavelin.com
Remember that CLUs are
different.
The M98A1 and A2
versions have different afocal
assemblies. If you don’t pay
attention
to
which
afocal
cover you order, you may get
one that doesn’t Ft. Order the
A1 cover with NSN 5895-01-
474-6669 and A2 cover with
Check connector cap’s lanyard
during PMCS.
The lanyard is
just glued onto the CLU and
over time it works loose. Then
the cap disappears, which can
be difFcult to replace. Just feel
during PMCS if the lanyard is
working loose. If it is, tell your
repairman so he can re-glue it.
Careful with the trigger
cover
while
wearing
gloves.
The bulk of your
gloves makes it easier to
accidentally break the trigger
cover when you pull it down.
Be gentle. And be careful
when you’re rolling the CLU
off your shoulder. The guard
is often broken then, too.
Each CLU should be kept

Just What Your
Javelin Needs!
if you give your Javelin
just what it needs—the
attention that comes
from good PMCS—it will
do
wonders
for you in
the field.
Here’s what
we’re talking
about…
But when you’re done, remember to
remove the battery. If it’s left in the Javelin,
the battery could leak and cause corrosion.
I wish
you had
given me
a little
exercise
these
last few
months.
now I
don’t
feel so
hot.
