TM 9-2320-209-10-1 FRAME 4 1. 2. 3. WARNING Do not attempt to ford your truck in depths greater than 72 inches. While fording, keep your speed down to 3 to 4 miles per hour. After fording, do not rely on brakes until they dry out. Keep putting them on and releasing them until vehicle stops without brakes grabbing. Failure to observe these warnings could result in injury to personnel and damage to equipment. Make sure your engine is running correctly and start fording. After leaving the water, on trucks with bracket-mounted FORDING control, move FORDING valve control lever (1) to the right, OUT position. On trucks with panel-mounted fording control, push FORDING valve cable control handle (2) in. Stop engine. (Refer to para 4-6e.) GO TO FRAME 5 4-401
