No Modifcations!
The Husky is designed as
a stand-alone vehicle. Do
not
weld a roller to the front
bumper of the vehicle.
The
Husky
is
not
designed to push weight
against its flexible bumper.
Adding a roller to the front
of the vehicle means more
weight is being transmitted
to the ground—causing a
pressure-fused
device
to
detonate. A detonation can
cause the roller to detach
from the vehicle. Then the
Husky will run into or over
the roller, causing further
damage.
Some units are adding a cyclone blower on top of the vehicle.
Do not
put this type
of attachment on the Husky, either. It hasn’t been tested by the headshed.
Tire PSI Reminder
Depending on use, two
types of tires are available.
The “road” tire is for
normal-use driving. The
“overpass” tire is used to
drive over pressure-fused
AT devices. This tire is
wider and has a different
tread than the road tire.
You’ll Fnd the psi for
both of these tires on
the tire pressure settings
decal on the vehicle’s left
(roadside) window. Use
the vehicle’s tire pressure
controller in the cab to
adjust the tire’s pressure.
It’s
really
important to install overpass tires on the Husky prior to mine-sweeping
operations.
They’re specially designed for this type of operation when the tires are
deflated to 8.7 psi. Make sure the tire’s bead spacer properly Fts each tire at all times.
P
roper lubing is
required when
it comes to the
grease Fttings in
the tower
area behind
the excavator’s
blade. These
Fttings get
covered in mud
and easily
overlooked
during scheduled
services.
Husky…
A Blast of PM
DEUCE…
Behind the Blade
the interim vehicle
mounted mine detector
(ivmmd) known as the
husky is being worked
around the clock in
Southwest Asia (swa).
it’s specifically
designed to drive over
pressure-fused anti-
tank (at) mines with
tires designed to drive
over but not detonate
those devices.
with that in mind,
here are some
pm pointers to
remember.
See tire PSI listed on decal
remember…
I work as a
stand-alone
vehicle!
there
are some
grease
fittings
behind my
blade that
need your
attention!
