N
obody wants to learn a lesson the hard way, especially when it comes to locking
back the hatches on your M1-series tank!
If the hatches are open during operation, you
must
make sure they’re locked open.
If you don’t, and the tank stops suddenly, that hatch will come crashing down on your
head. If you survive, you’ve just learned the hard way!
Your tank is considered
not
mission
capable
if
the
hatches
or
hatch
locks don’t work. Lube
the
hatches
and
locks

or other signs that may
indicate equipment failure.
Then, tell your mechanic if
you ±nd problems.
