TM 55-1930-203-10
Steering to the starboard side, the speed of the starboard engines is decreased while the speed of the port engines is increased.
2-52. Emergency Land Steering
If the steering on the front wheels becomes inoperative, the operator can steer the LARC by the rear wheels if the front wheels are in
straight ahead position.
2-53. Emergency Engine Shut-Down
WARNING
If an engine is permitted to overspeed (runaway on diesel), it will tear itself apart. Shut
the engine down immediately at first indication that the governor has lost control.
This is usually indicated by a rapid increase of r.p.m. reading on the engine
tachometer. If the engine is vibrating violently or shows other indications of break-up,
do not enter the engine compartment. Stand on the wing deck directly aft or directly
forward of the engine and use a boat hook or similar device to pull up the emergency
shutoff lever.
Each engine is equipped with an emergency shutoff lever (4, fig. 2-13) to provide a means of stopping the engine should the throttles
or governor lose control or should the engine start running away or "dieseling". Pulling up on this handle shuts off all air to the
engines, thus stopping combustion and shutting down the engine.
