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
Operating carrier in reverse is dangerous due to limited vision and reversed steering. Always
post ground guides before you back up.
WARNING
Carrier can pivot steer when transmission controller is in SL position and steering lock pin is
not engaged. Personnel can be killed or injured. Make sure transmission controller is in SL
and steering wheel is centered to engage steering lock pin (steering locked indicator light
should be ON) unless carrier is to be steered.
WARNING
Diesel fuel can catch fire and burn you. Do not smoke or allow open flame near carrier when
fueling.
