3.
Check air cleaner indicator often. If at any time only red shows in the window, notify unit maintenance.
4.
Check level of water in batteries (WP 0070 00).
5.
Don’t drive in any transmission range below 1-3 when you don’t have to.
6.
Don’t let dirt, sand, or bugs build up in the radiator fins. Have unit maintenance clean fins with water pressure.
7.
Lubricate frequently (WP 0057 00). Heat, sand, dust, humidity, and salt all have a bad effect on lubricants and moving
parts.
8.
Stop and fix any problem as soon as it comes up, or as soon as tactical situation allows.
9.
Keep carrier clean. Fungus and mildew can grow fast in conditions of high heat and humidity. Look carrier over and
clean it often.
10. Keep carrier in shelter or shade as much as possible. Cover carrier with tarpaulins when it is parked. If you cannot cover
entire carrier, at least cover intake and exhaust grilles (WP 0026 00 or WP 0027 00).
