OPERATION IN DUST OR SANDSTORMS
a.
Operation.
(1)
Check the radiator frequently and keep it clean of dust and sand.
(2)
Check the air cleaner frequently. Service the filter as often as required.
b.
At Halt or Parking.
(1)
Contact Organizational Maintenance to lubricate the 4KRTFL at more frequent intervals. Clean all fittings
and lubrication openings thoroughly before lubricating to prevent entrance of dust or sand with the
lubricant.
(2)
When not in use, cover the operators compartment, and utilize whatever means are available to protect the
engine compartment from the entry of windblown dust or sand.
2-23.
FORDING
a.
Check the water depth, allowing for inconsistency of the bottom. Do not attempt to ford even the narrowest
stream that is more than 20 inches deep.
b.
Make certain all gauges are indicating normal operating pressure and temperatures.
c.
Use the travel and range select lever to shift the transmission into the low speed range (position F1), and speed
the engine up to minimize the danger of stalling. Enter the water slowly to minimize surges of backwash into the engine
compartment. Fording speed should not exceed 3 to 4 miles per hour.
d.
In the event of complete submersion, contact Organizational Maintenance for appropriate disposition.
e.
Contact Organizational Maintenance to lubricate the 4KRTFL completely, as soon as possible after fording.
2-24.
SLAVE STARTING.
The 4KRTFL is equipped with a 24 volt, negative ground electric system. The slave receptacle is located on the
transmission cover side panel just behind the ROPS/FOPS on the right side. Ensure that both vehicles are equipped with
a NATO slave receptacle.
