8-26 Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Ensuring Radio Submergibility
8.7.8 Troubleshooting Leak Areas
Before repairing any leak, first read all of the steps within the applicable section. This will help to
eliminate unnecessary disassembly and reassembly of a radio with multiple leaks.
NOTE: All disassembly and reassembly methods can be found in Section 8.4. and Section 8.6.
8.7.8.1 Seal Interfaces
• If leak occurs at one or more of the seal interfaces, disassemble the component(s) and inspect
the interfaces to determine if there is any damage. If no damage is observed,
re-assemble the radio as directed.
• If damage has occurred, replacement parts will be needed.
8.7.8.2 Battery Contact Seal
• If leak occurs due to damage to the Battery Contact Seal (43), it will need to be replaced.
8.7.8.3 Front Housing
• If leak occurs through anywhere on the Front Housing, replace the Front Kit Assembly (A).
8.7.8.4 Chassis
• If leak occurs through the Main O-Ring (28†††*), it will need to be replaced.
• If leak occurs elsewhere on the Chassis (33†††), it will need to be replaced.
