GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Summarizes all safety warnings for the maintenance task. c. A step-by-step maintenance procedure follows the “INITIAL SETUP” and gives detailed instructions for the procedure. These instructions give part name and action performed. The numbers in parentheses correspond to the part’s callout number in the accompanying illustration. Warnings, cautions, and notes give additional information. WARNINGS - Indicate conditions, practices, or procedures which must be observed to avoid personnel injury, loss of life, or long-term health hazard. CAUTIONS - Indicate conditions, practices, or procedures which must be observed to avoid damage to equipment or destruction of equipment. NOTES - Include essential information of special importance, interest, or aid in job performance. d. At the end of a procedure, “FOLLOW-ON TASKS” will list those additional tasks that must be performed to complete the procedure. You can also use the Table of Contents (page ii) to find more information about the vehicle. For example: Principles of Operation in chapter 1. Unit PMCS are presented in table 2-1 starting on page 2-4. Chapter 2, section VII, STE/ICE Troubleshooting, can be used if STE/ICE is available for troubleshooting or PMCS. Refer to TM 9-2320-361-20P, Unit Maintenance Repair Parts and Special Tools List for Truck, 2-1/2- Ton, 6x6, M44A2 Series, when requisitioning parts, special tools, and equipment for unit maintenance. Your manual is easier to use once you understand its design. We hope it will encourage you to use it more often as an aid to maintenance support for M44A2 series vehicles.
