MUD OR SAND
0006
CAUTION
Do not tow, pull, push, or lift semitrailer using rear bumper. This may damage equipment.
1.
If wheels sink into mud/sand, you may need to jack up the mired wheels and put planking or matting under them.
2.
After operation in mud or sand, clean, inspect, and lubricate the semitrailer.
END OF TASK
ROCKY TERRAIN
0006
1.
Before driving over stumps or rocks, make sure the semitrailer can clear them. Such objects can damage parts on
the underside of the semitrailer. Beware of low hanging tree limbs that can damage cargo.
2.
Be sure you have a serviceable spare tire because there is a greater chance of tire puncture.

FORDING
0006
1.
Before Fording.
CAUTION
•
Fording:
Antilock braking system ECU must not be submerged in water. Rain, sleet, or snow will
not affect operation of ECU. Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment.
•
Fording:
Immediately after fording, apply service brakes to expel water from air brake chamber. If
fording in salt water, flush chambers with fresh low-pressure water when mission allows. Failure to
comply may result in damage to equipment.
•
Fording:
Do not exceed fording depth of 30 in. (76.2 cm) or damage to equipment may result.
a.
Before entering water, check bottom surface conditions. If bottom surface is too soft, do not ford.
b.
Protect cables and terminals by spraying with ignition insulation compound.
c.
ABS ECU must not be submerged in water (42 in. [106.7 cm], ECU height).
2.
After Fording.
a.
After coming out of water, apply brakes a few times to help dry out brake linings. Make sure semitrailer brakes are
working before driving at normal speeds.
b.
Drain or dry all areas where water has collected, if mission allows.
c.
Lubricate all unpainted surfaces. See lubrication chart, WP 0067, if mission allows.
d.
Zerk fittings and hubs should not be affected by fording. Oil can points should be lubricated as specified by WP 0067,
if mission allows. There is no need to tear down wheel ends or clean and re-pack bearings.
