Step 1 — Corrosion Inspection
The turret lid has a nickel plated interface plate that acts as the mating surface to the aircraft. Repeated installation
and removal of the turret may cause wear and chipping around the mounting holes. Prior to each installation, the
interface plate must be inspected because chips in the nickel plating are vulnerable to corrosion.
Unpacking the Turret Shipping Case
1. Move the turret's shipping case to an open area with a flat surface.
2. Make sure that the "This Side Up Arrow" is pointing upwards.
3. Undo the latches on the sides of the shipping case and remove the lid section.
4. Remove the top foam layer.
5. Lift the service stand top plate from the shipping case.
6. Remove the middle foam layer, service stand mounting screws and cap covers.
7. Inspect all foam pieces for water retention or material deterioration:
•
If the foam has deteriorated, contact L-3 Wescam Customer Service for support.
•
If the foam is moist or wet, place the pieces out so they can dry.
