Become familiar with all controls and instruments before you road test. Drive a new or reconditioned carrier at least 5 to 10 miles (8 to 16 km). Make sure carrier operates normally. Don’t start out too fast, or drive too fast. You’ll overload the engine or power train. Stop at least every mile. Look for overheated hubs, loose parts, and fuel or oil leaks. After the road test, the carrier is ready for regular soldier use. 0119 00-2
