 It can happen in the high-soltage
 S power supply section of )our Hawk
 AN/MPQ-35 pulse acquisition radar.
 The high-.oltage wire between the
 V" series regulator tube grid and the
 / 'I. 56 high.voltage selector ss itch can get
 TAPE wedged under the shorting bar. When
 WIRES iou open the cabinet doors, the short-
 ing bar gets hung up-keeping the
 SHORIING shorting bar from grounding out the
 S BAR Cl capacitor. And this leaves you wide
 Open for a mean bite from the capacitor.
 What sou want to do is keep the high-oltage "ire ckar of the shorting bar
b) lacing it to the high-voltage lead running to the T3 transformer. A couple

 Believe it... dirt, sand and what-not
sure can get to the ring gear, 9085694,
in the azimuth-range indicator assem-
bly and the spur gear, 9084193, on the
sector scan drive of your Hawk AN/
MPQ-35 pulse acq radar.
 What to do? There's nothing in your
LO 9-1430-502-12 (Jun 67)-not yet
-but it's still a good idea to clean and
lube the gears quarterly. Dry cleaning
solvent's a good cleaner, and aircraft
and instrument grease is the lube to
use. Both are in TM 9-4935-501-15P/1
(Sep 67) -with 1 gallon of the solvent
on page 14 ... and 1 pound of the
grease on page 15.


 When you've got 'em clean and dry
-put some grease on 'em right away
to head off corrosion.
 You might also tell your support
people that you'd sure like them to take
apart the sector scan drive once a year
and use the same solvent and lube on
the gears inside it.


 WEAR YOUR HALO

 They're back at support gathering dust in-
stead of protecting .ou those protective halos
for your Hawk XM50IE2 loader-transporter.
 That's right M.X'O 9.1450-500-30/'
(Aug 66) puts protective bars on the El to keep / HALO
you in one piece in case the latching mechanism I IN
poops out while you're transporting missiles. J PLA(E
But a lot of outfits haven't asked their support
unit to drop by with the modification kit. 4
