Fault listed in “NOT FULLY MISSION CAPABLE IF:” column of APU TM. 0090 00-10 Change 3 2.2 Before Track Shoes and Bushings (T150 Track Only) DRIVER 2.1 Before Track Tension DRIVER NOTE Perform adjustment after vehicle is fully loaded. Adjust track tension as necessary (T-130 WP 0091 00) (T-150 WP 0091 01). 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. brake pedal, 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. WARNING
