TM 9-2320-280-10 2-106 Change 1 NOTE To apply parking brake, grasp handle firmly and pull upward until handle is locked in a straight-up position. a. Ensure parking brake is applied. b. Adjust driver’s seat (para. 2-14). WARNING Visibility may be restricted with right rearview mirror. c. Adjust left and right rearview mirrors. Ensure both mirrors provide a clear view (para. 3-24 or 3-25). d. Ensure all windows are clean. If not, clean windows before attempting to move vehicle (refer to table 2-1). WARNING Ensure all slack from two-point seatbelt adjusting strap or three- point seatbelt is removed. Two-point seatbelt retracts but does not lock in any position. Three-point seatbelt retracts and will lock only during sudden stops or impact. Injury to personnel will result if an accident occurs and seatbelt is not used or adjusted properly. NOTE Fasten unused seatbelts to protect the belt ends from damage or dirt contamination. e. Fasten and adjust seatbelt (para. 2-16). f. Place transmission shift lever (8) in “N” (neutral) and transfer case shift lever (7) in desired range. See table 1-9 for transfer case range selection. CAUTION • Do not leave rotary switch in “RUN” position for extended periods of time. Glow plugs will continue to cycle and batteries will discharge leading to a no-start condition. • Glare from the sun may make it difficult to tell if the wait-to- start lamp assembly is illuminated. If this occurs, shade the light with your hands to ensure that the wait-to-start lamp assembly goes out before attempting to start the vehicle. • Starting the engine before the wait-to-start lamp goes out can result in starting problems. g. Place rotary switch (1) to “RUN” and wait until WAIT-TO-START lamp assembly (2) goes out.
