TM 9-2320-366-10-2 Section IV. OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS This section provides instructions to operate the MTV and its auxiliary equipment under extreme and unusual conditions. Special operating instructions are provided for these conditions. 2-54. OPERATION IN EXTREME HEAT WARNING When required to remain inside the vehicle during extreme heat, occupants should follow the water intake, work/rest cycle, and other heat stress preventive medicine measures contained in FM 31-70, Basic Cold Weather Manual. Failure to comply may result in serious injury or death to personnel. CAUTION • When operating in temperatures above 100° F (38° C), extra care must be taken to prevent overheating the engine. Watch WATER TEMP gage, STOP indicator, and engine coolant temperature indicator closely. Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment. • Check oil levels often and keep operating strain as low as possible. Vehicle cooling and lubrications systems support each other. Failure of one system will rapidly cause failure of the other system. Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment. • Idle engine to cool down. Idling cools engine faster than quick shutdown and may prevent damage to engine from excessive heat. Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment. 2-720 Change 1
