o
perators, too much water in your Husky’s fuel system will leave the vehicle’s
engine running rough or not at all.
Water gets into the fuel when warm days and cool nights cause condensation to
form in the vehicle’s fuel tank. You get rid of the water by draining the fuel/water
separator every week like it says in TM 9-2355-316-10 (Apr 12).
The fuel/water separator is located behind the right-side engine access door. Open
the separator by turning its drain cock counterclockwise. Dispose of drained fuel in
an approved hazardous waste container. Never dump it down a drain or let it run on
the ground.
If the fuel runs clear, you’re OK. If the fuel is still cloudy after you’ve drained half
a pint or so, close the valve and report it to your mechanic.
Use Cab Ledge Steps
Easy does it when you get in
and out of the vehicle’s cab. Place
your feet on the window ledges
when lowering yourself into the
cab. Keep your feet away from
the operator switch panel on the
left and the detector panel on the
right. Your weight will bust the
switches. Without functioning
switches, your Husky can’t do
its job during landmine and IED
detection operations.
Detection Panel CAUTION
These plates are there for a very simple reason: Your weight will damage
the detection heads! A broken head means mine detection operations come to a
screeching halt!

Operators, there are

on the HUSKY where you
have to watch your step.
When working
on the vehicle,
pay attention

if you don’t, it could mean
the difference between a
vehicle that’s A-OK or NMC.
