The following general safety precautions are not related  to  any  specific  equipment  or  procedure.  These precautions are recommended safety precautions that all personnel   should   follow   when   operating   and maintaining  equipment. All persons who supervise or perform work in connection with the ammunition handling should be familiar  with  the  United   States   Ordnance   Safety Precautions,  NAVSEA  OP  3347. When  test  firing  is  conducted  using  live ammunition,  observe  all  existing  range  regulations.   Before undertaking any operation for which a checkoff list exists, you must read the checkoff list to all personnel who will take part in the operation. When  provided,  always  use  safety  devices  to prevent   accidents. Keep   safety   devices   in   good operating order at all times.   Electrically primed ammunition can be fired by percussion. NEVER cycle live ammunition through a gun  for  testing  purposes. A1. A2. A3. A1. A2. A3.   The explosive elements in electric primers are highly  sensitive  to  static  electricity.  Make  sure  the primer  button  does  not  come  into  contact  with  the human  body. Observe  fire  regulations  and  maintain  good ventilation when using cleaning solvents and other volatile  maintenance  materials. Before   performing   maintenance   actions involving  pneumatic  or  hydraulic  pressurized components, ensure that all pressure is removed and the component is in the safest possible condition. Q1. Q2. REVIEW NUMBER 4 If  a  checkoff  list  is  to  be  used  during  an operation, what action must take place first ? To  prevent  explosive  primers  on  gun  ammunition from  being  exposed  to  static  electricity  what action should be taken? REVIEW NUMBER 2 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q1. THROUGH Q3. When  transporter  loading/downloading  operations  are  conducted,  they  must  be done in a RADHAZ-free   environment. In  a  given  load/download  operation,  any  of  the  following  conditions  may  exist: A fully loaded, partially loaded, or empty transporter may be mated to a fully loaded, partially loaded, or empty gun system. When you connect or remove the interface unit to or from the aircraft adapter, it must be in the bypass position. REVIEW NUMBER 3 ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q1. THROUGH Q3. The LALS is maintained at the intermediate level of maintenance. Scheduled   maintenance   procedures   for   the   LALS   are   outlined   in   the preoperational  and  calendar  MRCs. At  the  organizational  level,  proper timing of the LALS system before mating one unit  with  another  unit  or  to  the  aircraft  gun  system  is  the  most  important maintenance practice to follow when working on the LALS. 7-14
