Stryker…
DON’T
Let
Straps Dangle!
it will be
some time
before this
will be added
to the TM, so
keep a copy in
your TM in the
meantime.
whoa! what
happened to
your
bustle
rack,
mack?
y’know those
cargo straps that
were
dangling
when we left this
morning?
Those cargo straps
on your Stryker’s
bustle rack sure
come in handy on a
mission.
But if you get in
a hurry and don’t
secure ‘em properly,
they can cause you
headaches.
So store those
chains and chock
blocks inside my
bustle rack neatly
and
don’t
leave ‘em
hanging!
Don’t just toss the
straps into the rack
and go on your way.
The straps can fall
loose. Then they get
run over and wrapped
around the tires.
Because the
straps are so
strong, the
bustle rack
ends up getting
ripped loose
instead of the
strap breaking.
But that’s
easy
to avoid.
Just be sure to
always
roll up
the straps and
tuck ‘em out of
the way before
rolling out on
a mission.
The same goes for
the chock block
chains. if you just
throw the chock
blocks behind the
slat armor any
ol’ way, the chains
hang down and can
get run over by the
tires. Not only can
that snap the chains,
it can damage the
slat armor where
the chain connects.
Don’t
leave
chock block
chains
dangling!
