TM 9-2350-261-10 DRIVE CARRIER — Continued 0028 00 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 Never touch lock buttons while carrier is moving. If you lock up the steering lever while moving, you could be injured and/or damage the carrier. C A U T I O N The full-throttle transmission detent (pedal to the floor) is not a trade-off for selecting the proper range. Use the detent for short bursts of power, not as a way to gear down for heavy hauling. NOTE Going in forward or reverse, the carrier will always turn toward the track that is moving slower. 0028 00-7
