TM 9-2350-287-10 OPERATING THE CONVEYOR (continued) Loading Cargo onto M992A1 WARNING • Keep hands clear of moving conveyor chain at all times. • Do not operate conveyor with chain guards removed. • When transporting powder charges on conveyor, always attach grounding cable to supported howitzer. This prevents buildup of static electricity, reducing chance of igniting a propelling charge. • Do not drop or throw projectiles or propelling charges onto conveyor. • Promptly remove projectiles and propelling charges from howitzer end of conveyor. Keep end section under observation. Turn off conveyor if projectiles or propelling charges begin to pile up. • Slings are not intended to support conveyor under normal operating conditions. ONLY if conveyor support strut is missing or fails may slings be used to support conveyor during operation. When operating in this mode, avoid sudden movement of conveyor. Periodically inspect slings and attaching hardware for damage. Notify Unit Maintenance Immediately upon mission completion if sling damage exists. 2-157
