OPERATE CARRIER OVER ROUGH TERRAIN — Continued

DRIVE CARRIER ON SNOW, ICE, OR MUD

CAUTION

Sharp turns on snow, ice, or mud can cause carrier to throw a track. Make a series of small

wide turns instead of one sharp turn.

NOTE

Do not drive on snow-covered grades unless you have to. If you do, go as straight up and down

the slope as you can.

1.

Use a low transmission range that moves carrier smoothly without digging in. Drive slowly to avoid skidding.

2.

Slow carrier smoothly before making a turn.

3.

If carrier breaks through crust of deep snow or soft soil, steer carrier straight to get back on crust.
