WARNING

Failure to adhere to the following warnings may result in injury to personnel or

damage to equipment:

Do not enter water at more than walking speed 5 mph (8 kph) with an entrance or

exit slope of more than 15 percent.

Do not enter water deeper than 28 inches (71 cm) including wave height.

Do not enter water which has ice or debris on surface.

Always check the stream bottom to determine that it is firm enough to support the

semitrailer and that there are no obstacles under water.

Do not enter water which has a current velocity of more than 5 mph (8 kph). This is

equivalent to 7 feet per second (2 m/s).

The M1000 is not NBC survivable because of the large number of components and

materials that are either non decontaminable or lack sufficient hardness to survive

conventional decontamination procedures. Such materials include rubber tires,

hoses, mud flaps, and latches; polyester and urethane foams used for insulation;

uncovered auxiliary power unit; hydraulic system components; electrical wiring

harness; and lubricants. These materials will absorb and desorb agents which will

present a contact and vapor hazard. The integrity of these materials will also be

reduced when exposed to certain agents and decontaminants.

CAUTION

If tractor/semitrailer combination becomes mired (stuck) in mud or soft sand,

recovery must be achieved by pulling forward. If the combination is pulled

rearward, from the rear of the semitrailer, the bogies will tend to dig in deeper, and

severe damage to equipment may result.
