Out There
Fox NBC Vehicle…
Be
Careful
•
Door for the sampling tray box:
The door can be snapped off when the
Fox is backed up over rough ground.
Whenever possible, use ground guides
to back up in the field and have them
watch the door for clearance. Of
course, take it slow, too.
•
Sampling wheels:
If the wheels aren't up when you back
up the Fox, you quickly have no sam-
pling wheels. Make a point to check
that the wheels have raised before you
back up.
•
M21 chemical agent alarm:
If the M21 is left up during travel, its
weight will cause it to snap on the first
hard bump and its expensive camera
will be broken.
Never
travel with the
M21 raised.
•
Propeller:
Bouncing through rough country can
bang the bottom of the propeller assem-
bly hard enough to cause it to leak oil.
If your Fox has taken some hard bumps,
check the propellers for oil leaks.
The Fox has lots of
equipment that can be
snapped off or
banged up if you're
not careful during
travel. For instance…
Stay on smooth, even
ground as much as
possible and if you must
drive through rough
country, do it slowly.
Hey driver,
watch it,
will you!?
I have lots
of delicate
equipment
here!
During backing, watch out
for sampling tray box door
Make sure sampling wheels
are up before backing up
M21 must
be stowed
for travel
Check propellers
for oil leaks
e
Bottom line,
Fox drivers,
is you need to
take it easy in
the field.
