OPERATE CARRIER OVER ROUGH TERRAIN — Continued

0073 00

1.

Place transmission controller in range 1 or 1-2.

2.

Steer in a series of small wide turns rather than one sharp turn.

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

If you operate often in snow, ice, mud or heavy brush, have unit maintenance remove the track

shrouds.

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.
