unit (4) and two gas filters (5) are mounted in a similar configuration to the M997,
M997A1, and M997A2. Entry into the NBC compartment is gained through the
NBC access door (1) located directly over the driver's head by removing the safety
strap (3) and loosening two captive wing head screws (2) and carefully lowering
the NBC access door (1). M18 gas filters in both vehicles are replaced in a similar
manner. Contaminated M18 gas filters and the precleaner/particulate filter units
should only be replaced by specially-trained NBC personnel.
