Test
methods
4.6.1 Lunette assembly test.-Disengage the spring detent
by pulling out the lunette operating lever knob and rotating
the lever to the down position.
After moving the lunette to
the tow position, rotate the lunette operating lever to the

and towing position, shall be placed on a 15 degree slope with
the handbrakes applied.
The surface texture of the slope shall.
be such that the tires will not slip.
When the hand-brakes are
disengaged, the tires shall rotate freely.
The requirement may
also be checked by applying an 800 + 80 pound push or pull force
on the lunette with the weapon in the travel position on a level
surface, or by applying a 500 + 50 pound-foot torque to each
wheel.
4.6.4  Trunion  adapter  plate  test.-A  calibrated  gunner's
quadrant and trunion adapter plate inspection equipment shall be
