4.4 MAINTENANCE
4.4.1 GENERAL
The section regarding Eagle operator maintenance consists of operational tests, inspections for the
unit serviceability, cleaning and mounting procedures, troubleshooting, and replacement instructions
for a limited number of parts. Maintenance instructions covered elsewhere in this manual (PMCS, trou-
bleshooting, etc.) are not repeated in this section.
CAUTION:
The Eagle is a precision electron-optical instrument, and must be handled carefully at all times
to prevent damage to the device’s body or mechanisms.
4.4.2 CLEANING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
Thoroughly dry each item before placing them into the storage case.
Clean the Eagle as follows:
1. Gently brush off any dirt from the unit’s body using a clean, soft cloth.
2. Moisten the cloth with fresh water and gently wipe external surfaces (except for glass surfaces).
3. Dry any wet surfaces (except for glass surfaces) with another clean, soft, dry cloth.
4. Using a lens brush, carefully remove all loose dirt from the glass surfaces.
5. Slightly dampen a cotton swab with ethanol. Gently and slowly wipe the lenses (including the pho-
toreceiver and the pivotal focusing lens). Without touching the lens holders, clean the glass surfaces
in circular movements, beginning in the center and moving out towards the edge. Change the cotton
swab after each circular stroke. Repeat until the glass surfaces are clean.
6. Clean the battery contact surfaces and contact springs with a pencil eraser and/ or alcohol-damp-
ened cotton swabs.
Clean optional mounting devices with a soft brush (cloth), soap, and water as required.
Clean optional lenses as detailed in items 4 and 5 above.
