WARNING
If you lose a track (break a track
shoe or vehicle throws a track),
extreme caution must be exercised
in maintaining control. Immediately
release accelerator and let the vehicle
coast to a stop. Do not apply braking
action, i.e., brake pedal, pivot, or any
type of steering controls. This causes
the vehicle to pull to the active or good
track and could result in a rollover. It is
absolutely necessary to apply braking
action only, and we stress only, if the
vehicle is approaching a ravine, a cliff,
or if you perceive the outcome to be
catastrophic, probably resulting in
fatalities. When a rollover is imminent,
all crewmembers should immediately
withdraw inside the vehicle, tighten seat
belts and hold onto a secure fixture,
until the vehicle comes to a complete
stop.
NOTE
Move carrier one track length to
inspect entire track.
