NOTE
Hydrostatic lock is caused by the entry of substantial amounts of
water into the engine through the air intake system and
subsequent contamination of the fuel system. Hydrostatic lock most
frequently occurs during or just after fording. Water is forced into
the air intake system, drawn into the engine, and locks up the
engine.
Notify unit maintenance if you suspect hydrostatic lock and they
will test the engine.
d. After Operation.
.WARNING.
Do not rely on service brakes after fording until the brakes dry out.
Keep applying brakes until uneven braking ceases. Failure to do this
may cause damage to vehicle or injury or death to personnel.
NOTE
If accumulated water drains slowly through floor drain holes, refer to
unit maintenance for drilling and improving drain holes.
(1) If fording operation was through salt water, wash and wipe off salt deposits
as soon as possible.
NOTE
To prevent parking brake linkage from binding, lithium grease should
be used after operating in water.
(2) Clean mud, grit, and debris from brake linkage. Apply lithium grease
(appendix D, item 14),
and move linkage back and forth to
work into joints.
(3) After shallow water fording operation, vehicle must be lubricated and
serviced by unit maintenance as soon as possible.
