WARNING SUMMARY (cont)
WARNING
When water depth is unknown or deeper than 40 inches, do not attempt to ford stream. Carrier
may sink and personnel could drown.
Personnel could be killed or injured if carrier moves with someone under it. Make sure engine
is stopped, parking brake set, and carrier tracks blocked before crawling under carrier.
WARNING
Benzene (benzol), paint thinner, gasoline, and diesel fuel oil can burn, poison soldiers, and
damage equipment.
Use the approved cleaning agents. See the instructions for this section.
WARNING
If you lose a track (break a track shoe or vehicle throws a track), extreme caution must be
exercised in maintaining control. Immediately release accelerator and let the vehicle coast to
a stop. Do not apply braking action, i.e. laterals, pivot, or any type of steering controls. This
causes the vehicle to pull to the active or good track and could result in a rollover. It is absolutely
necessary to apply braking action only and we stress only, if the vehicle is approaching a ravine,
a cliff, or if you perceive the outcome to be catastrophic, probably resulting in fatalities. When a
rollover is imminent, all crewmembers should immediately withdraw inside the vehicle, tighten
seat belts and hold onto a secure fixture, until the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
