Now when you boot up the
system you will be given three
operating mode choices:
Use OPERATIONAL for normal operations. Use
TRAINING to practice operating IPADS with the navi-
gational equipment active. Use EMULATOR to train
without the navigational equipment.
Press the F1 key for OPERATIONAL, the F2 for
TRAINING, and the F3 for EMULATOR. Any time you
change from one mode to another you will need to
restart IPADS. When it is turned back on, IPADS will
be in the mode selected.

Stryker…
E
ver notice that when you’re in a big hurry, something always happens to slow you
down? That’s because being in a hurry leads to shortcuts and shortcuts mean trouble.
Take the cargo straps on your Stryker’s bustle rack, for instance. Tossing the loose
straps up in the rack is quick and you’re soon on your way—at least until one or more
of the straps falls loose from the rack.

Chock Block Chains
The same dangling
problem exists for the
chock block chains, too. If
you haphazardly toss the
chock blocks behind the
slat armor, the chains hang
down and can get run over
by the tires. That can snap
the chain and even dam-
age the slat armor where
the chain connects.
Keep those chains out of the danger zone by storing the chock blocks and chains
inside the bustle rack.
Don’t make that mistake. Take the
time to properly secure the straps.
Roll them up and tuck them in place
to prevent a dangling disaster!
Those straps are long enough to get run
over and wrapped around the tires. And since
the straps are so strong, the bustle rack gets
ripped loose instead of the strap breaking.
Unsecured straps fall out and tangle in tires
