A2. The maximum capacity of the BRU-33/A bomb ejector rack is 2,000 pounds. A3. You can attach three individual ejector units to the adapter assembly of the ITER. A4. The    IMER    and    ITER    ejector    units    are numbered according to the firing sequence. A5. The   stores   sensing   switch,   located   on   the forward hook of each station, signals the rack whether  a  weapon  is  loaded  on  a  particular station  or  not.  If  the  forward  hook  is  closed, the switch signals the rack that the station is loaded, and will not automatically step to the next station. A6. Custody of the IMER/ITER hardware kit and practice  bomb  adapter  kits  is  maintained  at the organizational level. SUU-25F/A DISPENSER The SUU-25F/A dispenser (fig. 10-16) is an airborne, externally mounted, reusable four-tube, rearward ejecting-launching device. The dispenser may be loaded on any aircraft weapons station that has a 14-inch suspension and is authorized to carry the SUU-25F/A dispenser. The    SUU-25F/A    has    a    cylindrically    shaped, all-metal  body.  It  has  four  aluminum  tubes  that  will hold  either  eight  LUU-2B/B  aircraft  parachute  flares. The  tubes  are  5  inches  in  diameter,  clustered  together inside  an  outer  skin.  There  is  an  aluminum  die-cast bulkhead   at   each   end.   When   empty,   the   dispenser weighs 260 pounds. When loaded with eight LUU-2B/B flares, it weighs 490 pounds. The   shipping   and   flight   configuration   of   the dispenser   is   shown   in   figure   10-16.   The   shipping configuration  (view  A)  has  shock  pan  assemblies  at either  end  of  the  dispenser  so  it  is  easier  to  handle during shipment and storage. A lock wire is attached to the two suspension lugs to prevent them from becoming lost during shipment or storage. Both the lock wire and shock  pan  assemblies  must  be  removed  before  the dispenser is used. When the dispenser is configured for flight (view B), a phenolic or metal cover (nose cone) is mounted on the forward flange. Covers are not shipped with   the   dispenser;   they   are   ordered   as   separate components. 10-13 Figure 10-16.—SUU-25F/A dispenser.
