When loading ammo using the sideloader,
use AUTOMATIC mode. MANUAL should
be used only if AUTOMATIC fails to work.
If you do have to use MANUAL, make sure
to turn off the sideloader/magazine controller
(S/MC) when you’re done. Otherwise, the
ammo handling system could be damaged.
Before
a
mission,
make
sure
the hydraulic lines for the turret
actuator
are
properly
positioned
and secured. Improper positioning
of the 45-degree angle Ftting on
the turret actuator or of the hose
bumper can cause the hydraulic
hoses to get tangled with the feed
chutes. ±ollow the procedures in
IETM 1-1520-LONGBOW.
Be careful to put in the sideloader
declutching
block
correctly.
It’s
very easy to get it wrong and that
bends
the
guide
for
the
ammo
trays. The guide should Ft in the
groove of the block and the block
should be ²ush against the front
plate. If the block can be wiggled
freely, you’ve got it right. If the
block won’t move, you need to
make sure the guide is positioned
in the block groove.

Captain Sirk, I have

Captain Sirk,

You must

Turn SMC off when you’re done side loading in MANUAL
Declutching block should wiggle freely…
… if you’ve got it in right
if you
forget,
the sprocket in
the right-hand forward elbow
will twist off and
break.
Also, it could
jam
me badly enough to
break my internal
components.
