User doc for Idea number 483

Here's the product definition draft pdf of the owner's manual. Again, sorry, no graphics. Maybe in the OT&E draft, we'll have rudimentary graphics.

Update: Compatibility of ULG with Individual Body Armor.
Interceptor Type: The ULG can be used to clean heavily soiled Outer Tactical Vest. Remove Small Arms Protective Inserts and Ballistic Inserts, and wash only the Outer Tactical Vest. Clean the inserts according to the Interceptor System user manual.

PASGT Type: The ULG can be used to clean the entire PASGT Vest but it is not recommended unless the ballistic fabric can be removed and cleaned separately. Due to its weight and size, and the shock-absorbing qualities of the ballistic fabric, only one vest can be cleaned or rinsed at a time. Do not expect good results.

Shear-Thickening Fluid Type: Do not use the ULG to launder any body armor component that incorporates STF technology. Check the care label on the component to be certain ("Contains Polyethylene Glycol" or "Natick Type E" are usually in bold at the top of the care label). The STF armor will not be damaged, but the ULG will not find a suitable oscillation frequency and can damage itself. Follow the care label and user manual to clean STF armor using another method.
