INTERVAL MAN- HOUR ITEM TO BE CHECKED OR SERVICED CREWMEMBER PROCEDURE EQUIPMENT NOT READY/ AVAILABLE IF: NOTE Perform adjustment after vehicle is fully loaded. a. Adjust track tension as necessary (T130) (WP 0076 00) or (T150) (WP 0077 00). 5 Before Track Shoes and Bushings (T150 Track only) DRIVER WARNING If you lose a track (break a track shoe or vehicle throws a track), extreme caution must be exercised in maintaining control. Immediately release accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a stop. Do not apply braking action, i.e. laterals, pivot, or any type of steering controls. This causes the vehicle to pull to the active or good track and could result in a rollover. It is absolutely necessary to apply braking action only, and we stress only, if the vehicle is approaching a ravine, a cliff, or if you perceive the outcome to be catastrophic, probably resulting in fatalities. When a rollover is imminent, all crewmembers should immediately withdraw inside the vehicle, tighten seat belts, and hold onto a secure fixture, until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. 0075 00-12
