Procedure
Clocked time for CO2 cloud duration
is valid only when all other checks
(non-electrical) are acceptable. If all
checks are met except cloud duration
time, No. 1 cylinder was defective. If
any defects are found, correct de-
fects, and retest. If no defects are
found, continue with step 12.
Step 11
If retest is needed, reset control han-
dle by positioning pawl into slot, re-
set No. 1 control valve, and replace
cylinder No. 1.
Repeat steps 7 through 10 to retest
cloud/spray duration time,
Not Fully Mission
Capable if:
NOTE
If delay valve is still open (from having fired No. 1 shot), there will be
no (6 to 10 second) delay of CO2 when a subsequent shot is fired.
Opened delay valve may take 2 to 4 hours to thermally reseat before it
can delay another CO2 shot. (Resetting is not necessary to time cloud
duration.)
Step 12
If only one hull spray line dis-
charges, check valve on other line
and check for clogged or pinched
lines.
