TM 9-2350-267-10 OPERATING THE CONVEYOR - Continued WARNING Keep hands clear of moving conveyor chain at all times. WARNING Do not operate conveyor with chain guard removed. WARNING When transporting powder charges on conveyor, always attach grounding cable to supported howitzer. This pre- vents buildup of static electricity, reducing chance of ig- niting a propelling charge. WARNING Do not drop or throw projectiles onto conveyor. WARNING or propelling charges Promptly remove projectiles and propelling charges from howitzer end of conveyor. Keep end section under obser- vation. Turn off conveyor if ammunition begins to “pile up”. WARNING Cables are not intended to support the conveyor under normal operating conditions. ONLY if conveyor support is missing or falls may cables be used to support conveyor during operation. When operating in this mode, avoid sud- den movement of conveyor. Periodically inspect cables and attaching hardware for damage. Notify Organizational Maintenance immediately upon mission completion If ca- ble damage exists. 2-155
