D nt try t straddle large bulders; they will damage axles and ther lw parts f the vehicle. Mve slwly ver when driving in rcky terrain. 5.4.29.2. Mud and swamps. 5.4.29.2.1. Try t pull ut f the mud/swamp slwly in lw gear if the vehicle is equipped with an autmatic transmissin. Place bards, brush, r similar material under the vehicle s wheels can increase tractin. 5.4.29.2.2. Rll nt the sft area at a medium speed fr the selected gear. Carefully maintain a steady thrttle until reaching slid grund. 5.4.29.2.3. If the vehicle is in an autmatic, try t pull ut slwly by switching t a lwer gear. If this r using bards r brush des nt wrk, try t have anther vehicle pull the vehicle ut. 5.4.29.3. Ditches. 5.4.29.3.1. Crss shallw ditches by shifting int lw gear r range and prceeding slwly. Enter the ditch at an angle s that ne wheel leaves the ditch as the ther wheel n the same side enters it. 5.4.29.4. Gullies and ravines.

5.4.29.4.1. Find a place t enter that is easy access and easy t get acrss. Put the vehicle in lw gear and slwly apprach the ravine at a right angle t the edge. Using the ft brake, ease the frnt wheels int the gully; make sure they hit at the same time. Bring the engine up t a nrmal speed befre the wheels hit the bttm. Accelerate just enugh t climb s that the frnt wheels tuch the ppsite bank. 5.4.29.5. Slippery cnditins. 5.4.29.5.1. Vehicle peratin in slippery cnditins is hazardus. The MRAP is equipped with ABS but it cannt prvide any better braking and steering capability than available rad tractin will permit. Operatr must travel at reduced speeds and be prepared t meet sudden changes in rad cnditins. 5.4.29.5.2. Failure t maintain safe stpping distances will cause damage t vehicle and/r injury r death t persnnel. 5.4.29.5.3. Apply service breaks sner and press service brake pedal lightly t give early warning t any vehicles that may be fllwing. 5.4.29.5.4. After driving thrugh slush r water, drive slwly and test service brakes. 5.4.29.5.5. T dry ut brake shes and drums, lightly press and hld service brake pedal fr 5 t 10 secnds at a time while lightly applying thrttle. 5.4.29.5.6. Chck blcks shall be used when parking a vehicle in extreme cld cnditins. Failure t d s may result in injury t persnnel r damage t equipment. 5.4.30. Rllvers. 5.4.30.1. During a vehicle rllver, the senir ccupant will ensure that ALL persnnel are checked fr injuries and that injured persnnel are given the apprpriate medical attentin. Reprt the accident immediately alng with injury reprt. 5.4.30.2. Rllver prcedures: 5.4.30.2.1. The first individual t ntice a vehicle beginning t rllver will shut, ROLLOVER! 5.4.30.2.2. The peratr will release the acceleratr, keep hands n steering wheel with extended, but nt lcked arms, tuck head in t chest and brace fr impact and yell, ROLLOVER! 5.4.30.2.3. The passenger(s) will tuck their head(s) int chest and brace fr impact. He/she will plant feet firmly n the flr while hlding n t a statinary bject and yell, ROLLOVER!

5.4.30.2.4. The gunner will drp dwn. He/she will tuck head int chest and brace fr impact. He/she will plant feet firmly n the flr while hlding n t a statinary bject and yell, ROLLOVER! Nte: Gunners perating the turret shuld limit bdy prtrusin nt t exceed the name tape. 5.4.31. Braking safety. 5.4.31.1. Braking withut airbrakes. 5.4.31.1.1. Speed and stpping distance. There are three things that add up t ttal stpping distance: 5.4.31.1.2. Perceptin Distance + Reactin Distance + Braking Distance = Ttal Stpping Distance. 5.4.31.1.3. Perceptin distance. This is the distance the vehicle mves frm the time the peratr s eyes see a hazard until their brain knws it. The perceptin time fr an alert driver is abut 3/4 secnd. 5.4.31.1.4. Reactin distance. The distance traveled frm the time the peratr s brain tells their ft t mve frm the acceleratr until their ft is actually pushing the brake pedal. The average driver has a reactin time f 3/4 secnd. This accunts fr an additinal 60 feet traveled at 55 mph. 5.4.31.1.5. Braking distance. The distance it takes t stp nce the brakes are put n. At 55 mph n dry pavement with gd brakes, it can take a heavy vehicle abut 170 feet t stp (abut 4 3/4 secnds). 5.4.31.1.6. Ttal stpping distance. At 55 mph it will take abut 6 secnds t stp and the vehicle will travel abut the distance f a ftball field (60 + 60 + 170 = 290 feet). 5.4.31.2. Braking distance with air brakes. 5.4.31.2.1. With air brakes there is an added delay: the time required fr the brakes t wrk after the brake pedal is pushed. Thus, the ttal stpping distance fr vehicles with air brake systems is made up f fur different factrs: 5.4.31.2.1.1. Perceptin Distance + Reactin Distance + Brake Lag Distance + Effective Braking Distance = Ttal Stpping Distance. 5.4.31.2.2. The air brake lag distance at 55 mph n dry pavement adds abut 32 feet. S at 55 mph fr an average driver under gd tractin and brake cnditins, the ttal stpping distance is ver 300 feet. This is lnger than a ftball field. 5.4.31.3. Cntrl and stpping requirements.

5.4.31.3.1. The service brake must hld the vehicle n any grade n which it is perated under all cnditins f lading r unlading. 5.4.31.3.2. The service brakes f every mtr vehicle must be capable f stpping frm an initial speed f 20 miles per hur and is measured in feet as maximum stpping distance (MSD). 5.4.31.3.3. Fr a vehicle with a grss vehicle weight rating (GVWR) f 10,000 lbs. r mre the MSD is 40 feet. 5.4.31.4. Effects f speed n stpping distance. 5.4.31.4.1. When the speed f the vehicle is dubled, it will take abut fur times the distance t stp, and the vehicle will have fur times the destructive pwer if it crashes. 5.4.31.4.2. High speeds increase stpping distances greatly. By slwing dwn a little, the Operatr can gain a lt in reduced braking distance. 5.4.32. Tire changing prcedures. In the event that the vehicle shuld have a flat r damaged tire, the trainee must knw the fllwing prcedures fr prperly and safely changing the tire: 5.4.32.1. Equipment/tls: 5.4.32.1.1. Vehicle jack w/jack handle rated fr weight f vehicle. 5.4.32.1.2. Lug wrench. 5.4.32.1.3. Jack stand. 5.4.32.1.4. Wheel chcks. 5.4.32.1.5. Hand/eye/hearing prtectin (if pneumatic tls are ging t be used). 5.4.32.2. Tire changing steps: 5.4.32.2.1. Use glves when handling and lifting tires. 5.4.32.2.2. Ensure the vehicle is seated n a level surface. 5.4.32.2.3. Chck the adjacent drive wheel. 5.4.32.2.4. Lcate slid part f the vehicle s frame. 5.4.32.2.5. Place the vehicle jack under the vehicle s frame as clse as pssible that will nt impede the tire remval and/r replacement.

5.4.32.2.6. Raise the vehicle with the jack until the vehicle s weight is supprted n the jack, but the tire is still in cntact with the grund. 5.4.32.2.7. Lsen, DO NOT, remve the lug nuts. 5.4.32.2.8. Raise the vehicle up until the tire clears the grund with n mre than an extra inch t allw replacement f the tire. 5.4.32.2.9. Place the jack stand under the frame f the vehicle t supprt the vehicle in the case that the jack s hydraulics shuld leak and/r fail. 5.4.32.2.10. Remve the wheel s lug nuts. 5.4.32.2.11. Remve the vehicle s flat/damaged tire using tw persnnel. 5.4.32.2.12. Place the replacement tire nt the vehicle s axle using tw persnnel. 5.4.32.2.13. Replace the vehicle s lug nuts (t hand tightness). 5.4.32.2.14. Jack the vehicle up and remve the jack stand. 5.4.32.2.15. Lwer the vehicle until the wheel makes cntact with the grund t prevent the tire frm spinning during tightening, DO NOT put the entire vehicle weight n the wheel until after the next step. 5.4.32.2.16. Tighten vehicle s lug nuts in a star pattern t ensure prper seat f the wheel t the axle. 5.4.32.2.17. Lwer the jack stand cmpletely and remve frm under the vehicle. Nte: Tighten lse lug nuts. Have vehicle maintenance tighten the stud nuts and lug nuts t the prper trque fund in the manufacturer s peratr s manual. 5.4.33. Winch safety. 5.4.33.1. When recvering the cable, recvery takes time, d nt hurry. A brken winch line reacts like a whip, when hking t a vehicle, use bth shackles whenever pssible s effrt is applied equally and damage t the vehicle in minimized. 5.4.33.2. Never bend the wire cable at a sharp angle. 5.4.33.3. Straighten ut all the kinks and twists while taking up the slack. 5.4.33.4. Stand clear f the winch cable befre it is tightened. A cable being tightened may break and whip back causing serius bdily harm r even death.

5.4.33.5. After using the winch, have ne persn r preferably tw pull back n the cable while it is wund slwly and even n the drum. Keep the cable lubricated accrding t the manual. 5.5. Vehicle Operatin. 5.5.1. Starting prcedures. 5.5.1.1. Ensure that the MRAP is in the neutral psitin. Apply parking brake. 5.5.1.2. Adjust the driver s seat and utside mirrrs. 5.5.1.3.

Autmatic transmissin cntrl. The MRAP autmatic transmissin has neutral (N), reverse (R) and five frward gear psitins. 5.5.2.1. Neutral. The transmissin resets itself t neutral when the engine is shut-ff. This psitin can be used if the vehicle stalls, in rder t restart the vehicle. Always ensure the vehicle has the parking brake set when using neutral. 5.5.2.2. Reverse. The vehicle needs t be at a cmplete stp prir t shifting t reverse t avid damage t the transmissin. Due t the extreme visibility cnstraints assciated with the MRAP, always use a sptter when backing. 5.5.2.3. Abuse prtectin. The transmissin has built in prtectins against several types f abuse. 5.5.2.3.1. The transmissin will nt shift frm N t D t R if the drive shaft is mving. 5.5.2.3.2. The transmissin will nt shift frm N int (F) r R UNLESS the service brake is applied. 5.5.2.3.3. When a lwer gear is selected the transmissin will nt shift t that gear until the vehicle slws t the speed range allwed fr that gear. 5.5.2.3.4. The transmissin always shifts up r dwn thrugh the gears sequentially. 5.5.2.3.5. If R is pressed while the vehicle is mving, the transmissin gear indicatr windw will flash R. 5.5.2.3.6. If the vehicle cmes t a stp within 3 secnds, the transmissin gear indicatr will shift int R and the flashing will stp. 5.5.2.3.7. If the vehicle des nt cme t a stp within 3 secnds, the shift request will be ignred and the last drive number will be displayed. 5.5.2.3.8. If D is pressed while the vehicle is mving backward, the transmissin gear indicatr windw will flash D. 5.5.2.3.8.1. If the vehicle cmes t a stp within 3 secnds, the transmissin gear indicatr will shift int D and the flashing will stp.
