The operator should inspect the AN/PEQ-2A before each
use and after it has been in extreme conditions, such as
prolonged exposure to intense temperatures. The following
procedures will prolong the life of the AN/PEQ-2A and help
ensure safe operation.

leakage, dents, and bulging. If a battery shows signs of
damage, remove and dispose of properly. Replace battery
as required per paragraph 2.2.2.
3.1.2 Battery Compartments
. The Battery Compartments
should be inspected for dirt, dust and corrosion. Dirt or
debris that cannot be shaken loose from the Battery
Compartments may be removed using a clean cloth or
cotton swab.

dirt, sand and grime. Thoroughly clean the Battery Cap by
flushing with water and wiping with a cotton swab.
Periodically lubricate the O-ring with silicone grease. The

nicked, or dried out.
