TM9-2350-261-20-1AUXILIARY AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMThe auxiliary system includes driver controls, personnel heater, bilge pumps, crew ventilation system, and firesuppression system.DRIVER CONTROLSThe driver controls regulate the engine, transmission, and steering braking systems of the earner.The fuel shutoff control is used to stop the supply of fuel to the injectors. To start the engine, the driver mustpush in the fuel shutoff control. The throttle linkages are used to control the engine speed. The gear selectorallows the driver to choose the proper gear for the carrier. The steering and braking levers control separateright and left steering brakes in the control differential. By pulling on the levers, you can slow or stop eithertrack for steering, or both tracks at once for stopping. A lock button at the top of each lever lets you set andlock the brakes for parking.PIVOT STEERING AND BRAKESPivot steer brakes are disk brakes and work like the differential brakes but quicker.DIFFERENTIAL COMPONENTSThe differential consists of three major assemblies. These are the right angle gearbox, stewing unit with brakeshoes, and two output shafts.Power flow is from the transmission to the right angle gearbox to the steering unit.When driving straight forward the steering unit delivers equal power to both output shafts. Pressure on eithersteering lever slows or stops the right or left brake drum, inside the center steering unit, and reduces the speedof the right or left output shaft. By slowing down on one side you increase the speed of the other and the earnerwill turn in the direction of the applied brake.2-4
