figure 3-16. Inspect the firing lanyard for proper
stowage, as shown in figure 3-17.
In this inspection you may find that the firing
lanyard has been pulled out of the stowage sleeve,
or it may have been improperly stowed. To restow
the firng lanyard, cut a piece of Type I nylon cord
30 inches long. This will aid you in stowing the
lanyard.
Measure 7 inches from the sewn loop at the
top of the firing lanyard and make a mark. This
mark will leave you 7 inches of slack between the
sewn loop and the stowage sleeve. Form a bight
the length of the stowage sleeve in the firing
lanyard, and by using the Type I cord and a
bodkin, pull the firing lanyard into the stowage
sleeve, stopping at the bottom of the sleeve. (See
figures 3-18 and 3-19).
