TM 5-1080-250-12&P 2-2Proper identification of screens must be maintained at all times. Do not remove or lose identification tags that are attached to screens. Do not use a transparent screen in place of a radar scattering screen. When two or more screens are joined together, ensure that the screens are of the same type by checking each screens' identification tag. Keep screens away from all hot exhaust systems, (Includes vehicles, heaters, stoves, etc.). Screens can be damaged if not struck and removed from back blast of field artillery prior to firing. a. ULCANS Deployment. Prior to deploying the ULCANS system personnel should remove jewelry, individual equipment, and loose clothing items and secure dog tags that may become snagged during deployment of screens. Wearing of eye protection and hand protection is recommended during setup and takedown. During the movement, positioning, and deployment of the ULCANS screen system and support systems, a two person lift minimum is required. A four person team is recommended for multiple screen deployments. Climbing on and around equipment during the deployment of equipment poses a fall hazard and extreme caution shall be exercised. Caution shall be observed to avoid uneven, slippery surfaces and other trip hazards that may be present. Use handholds when present and ladders when available. Ladders should be used only on level firm terrain and steadied by a second person. Do not stand on top step of ladder. During deployment keep screens away from all hot exhaust systems, vehicles, stoves, heaters etc. Screens can be damaged if not struck and removed from back blast area of field artillery prior to firing. To prevent snagging of screens, stow or remove equipment or accessory items protruding from the side of vehicles, fold in external vehicle mirrors, and lower or secure antennas. These steps will also prevent collision with support poles during vehicle movement. Personnel are subject to being burned by hot components and exhausts if deployment of the ULCANS is attempted with the equipment’s engine running or immediately after the engine is turned off. A cool down period shall be observed prior to ULCANS deployment except in emergency conditions; then wear hand protection and exercise extreme caution when working in area of hot components. b. Cool Down Period. A cool down period of equipment engines shall be observed immediately after being turned off prior to ULCANS deployment except in emergency conditions. Refer to the specific engine technical manual for information on the appropriate cool-down period. Hand protection shall be worn and extreme caution exercised when working in the area of hot components or engines. CAUTION WARNING
