WARNING SUMMARY (cont)
WARNING
When a track vehicle gets out of control and overturns, it is safer to stay in the vehicle than to
try to get out while the vehicle is still moving. You may receive slight injuries from being thrown
against metal parts; but if you try to leave the vehicle, it may roll over and crush you. Once the
vehicle stops moving, get out as fast as possible because spilled fuel and oil may catch on fire.
The first thing the driver should do in such an emergency is shut off the engine and turn off the
master switch to minimize the fire hazard.
WARNING
Pivot steering can kill or injure personnel and damage equipment. STOP vehicle and CHECK
for clearance before operating pivot steer. Always post ground guides before you pivot when
near personnel or equipment.
WARNING
Ammunition can explode and kill you. Do not start heater until ammunition and
combustible/explosive materials are properly stored at least 30 inches from heater vents.
Combustible materials must be stored 12 inches or more from metal surfaces of heater.
WARNING
Heater exhaust fumes contain deadly poisonous gases. Severe exposure can cause death or
permanent brain damage. Be alert at all times. Check for smell of exhaust fumes. If you detect
or suspect the presence of fumes, open all hatches right away. Shut heater OFF.
