TM 9-2350-277-10 OPERATE CARRIER OVER ROUGH TERRAIN — Continued 0073 00 1. Place transmission controller in range 1 or 1-2. 2. Steer in a series of small wide turns rather than one sharp turn. DRIVE CARRIER ON SNOW, ICE, OR MUD C A U T I O N Sharp turns on snow, ice, or mud can cause carrier to throw a track. Make a series of small wide turns instead of one sharp turn. NOTE If you operate often in snow, ice, mud or heavy brush, have unit maintenance remove the track shrouds. Do not drive on snow covered grades unless you have to. If you do, go as straight up and down the slope as you can. 1. Use a low transmission range that moves carrier smoothly without digging in. Drive slowly to avoid skidding. 2. Slow carrier smoothly before making a turn. 0073 00-5
