TM 9-2350-277-10 THEORY OF OPERATION 0003 00 HULL STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEM The steering and braking systems are an integral part of the crossdrive transmission. The main controls are located in the driver’s compartment. Center the steering wheel and set the transmission controller to the SL (steering lock) position whenever the carrier is being started, idling, or shutdown. When the steering wheel is centered and locked, the STEERING LOCKED indicator will light. If the steering wheel is not centered and locked, the carrier will turn (pivot) regardless of the position of the transmission controller. To pivot the carrier, the transmission controller should be set to PV (pivot vehicle) position. The service brakes are operated similar to any automobile. The lower pedal is for normal operations, the upper pedal is used when driving with the seat in the raised position. To operate the parking brake, apply pressure to the service brake and then pull up on parking brake handle. 0003 00-1 Change 2
