TM 5-3805-263-14&P-1 DRIVING THE REAR FRAME NOTE Operation of this equipment presents a noise hazard to personnel in limits for unprotected personnel. Wear ear muffs or plugs which were fitted by a trained professional. Remote control operation is easily accomplished by one person. A second is needed to aid in starting and aligning the frames for reassembly. NOTE The back-up alarm should sound when the transmission direction lever is placed in reverse (R). 1. Turn the battery disconnect switch "ON." Move the throttle to the low idle position. Start the engine. The ether starting aid may be required in cold weather conditions. WARNING Stop the unit immediately if the "LOW AIR" indicator should light. Determine the source of the problem and correct before continuing operation. The "LOW AIR" light will come on momentarily while WARNING Never shift to any gear higher than "1st GEAR". 2. Shift the transmission to "1st GEAR." 3. Move the transmission directional control to the desired direction. 4. Move the differential lock switch to OFF. Push the emergency brake control. 5. Engage the clutch gradually by rotating the cable control. Stop additional clutch engagement when the engine starts to lug. 6. Release the service brakes with the button on the steering control. WARNING Use extreme caution when operating with the remote control. Be ready at all times to release the steering control button and pull the emergency brake control if a dangerous situation should occur. 7. When moving the machine in the forward direction, pulling the steering control toward you will turn the machine toward you (LEFT TURN). Pushing the steering control away from you will turn the machine away from you (RIGHT TURN). Operating the machine in the reverse direction will reverse the turn direction for the same steering control movement. If the terrain and ground condition dictate, move the differential lock switch to "ON" to drive straight with all four wheels driving. Do not steer with the switch "ON." NOTE Additional clutch engagement may be required to slide the wheels when turning, depending on ground conditions. 8. Move the unit as required. NOTE Releasing the button on the steering control will apply the service brakes and stop the machine. 9. To stop and park the unit, release the steering control button, carefully disengage the clutch, set the emergency brake, shift to neutral, close the throttle to stop the engine and turn the battery disconnect switch to "OFF." 107
