SPARK II…
Know
When Leg
Goes…
…Up
or
Down
All Aircraft…
STOP
Foreign
Object Damage!
Use landing leg
only
when SPARK II
is stowed and not in use
it’s
never
a
good idea to use
my landing leg…
The
first
defense in
preventing
foreign
object
damage
(FOD) to
aircraft
begins with
de-FODding
yourself!
…except
when
I’m stowed and
not being used!
Operators,
the landing leg
on the self
protection
adaptive roller
kit II (SPARK II)
has
only one use…
That means you
should not
use the landing leg to
attach the SPARK II to the vehicle system’s platform.
And
never
have
it lowered
during vehicle
operation.
that’ll either damage
or completely break
the leg assembly,
PN 120000940.
The leg should also be
stowed when the SPARK
II is i
n transport.
it’ll set
your unit
back about
$350!
it’s designed
to stabilize the
SPARK II when
it’s in the
stowed
position and
not
being used.
I know you want to do a
goOd job, but you’re gonna
have to DE-FOD yourself
before
you work on me!
Yeah, I
BetTer go
get the
tOol Box!
