GENERAL
This work package provides instructions for operating the M915A1 ABS equipped tractor with an inoperable
ABS to complete mission.
OPERATING WITH INOPERABLE ABS
If ABS warning light goes on and stays on when tractor is being operated, a minor or major malfunction of the
ABS may have occurred and rendered the system inoperable. Operator must heed to ABS warning light and treat
the warning as if tractor no longer has ABS capability. This means the following driving habits and braking
techniques shall be followed:
WARNING
If ABS becomes inoperable and operator is unfamiliar with braking
techniques used on trucks without ABS, especially if operating on
slippery road surfaces, it may be prudent to carefully pull off the road
and radio for assistance. Failure to comply may result in damage to
equipment or possible injury or death to personnel. Seek medical
attention in the event of an injury.
NOTE
When service brake pedal is applied, ABS works with the regular
braking system by automatically pumping brakes for the operator. In
vehicles not equipped with ABS, operator must be mindful to
manually pump the brakes to prevent wheel lockup.
1.
Maintain at least double the normal distance from vehicle ahead until mission is completed or until ABS
can be checked and restored.
