TM 9-2350-247-10 DRIVE CARRIER (M548A3) — Continued 0021 00 DRIVING PRECAUTIONS WARNING If a track carrier gets out of control and overturns, it is safer to stay in the carrier than to try to get out while the carrier is still moving. You may receive slight injuries from being thrown against metal parts; but if you try to leave the carrier, it may roll over and crush you. Once the carrier 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 If you break a track shoe or carrier throws a track, use extreme CAUTION to maintain carrier control. Immediately release accelerator and let carrier coast to a stop. Do not use brakes or steering controls unless you are about to enter a more hazardous situation. 1. Use 1-2 range until you get used to driving carrier. 0021 00-2
