DRIVER

WARNING

Ifyouloseatrack(breakatrack

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.
