After fording, as soon as possible but not later than on the same
day, check oil in all units. Change oil in units where water is detected.
There is some water in the oil if its color is changed. Lubricate all
grease ttings of the chassis until the fresh grease appears. After every
fording, partly engage the clutch and partly apply the brakes several
times in order to dry the clutch facings and brake shoe linings.
If the engine stops when fording, try to restart the engine by
means of the starter two to three times. If the engine does not
start, the motor vehicle should be immediately removed from the
water by all means. If some water is penetrated to the units of the
vehicle after the removal, it is not recommended to drive the motor
vehicle. Tow the motor vehicle to a service station.
The motor vehicle can move along snowy surfaces of a
350 mm depth. Steer the motor vehicle in the same manner as
when moving on swampy grounds. When driving on friable snow,
apply the same rules as when driving on sand surfaces.
CHAPTER 8. TOWING OF THE
MOTOR VEHICLE
The front and rear parts of the frame (Fig. 8.1) are equipped with
towing eyes for exible towing. Before towing, turn on the ignition
(position I, Fig. 3.10) and light alarm. When towing, check the tension
of the rope. Tow the motor vehicle smoothly, without jerks.
The towing of a trailer is possible only if the vehicle is equipped
with a ball-type tow hitch.
WARNING! Remember that when the engine turns off, the
forces required for steering input and motor vehicle braking
increase signicantly.
Strictly follow the requirements listed in “The Highway Code”
when towing.
If the brake or steering system is broken, it is forbidden to drive
or tow the motor vehicle with a tow rope. In this case use the two
wheel towing or tow truck service.
It is strictly forbidden to tow the motor vehicle using the ball-
type tow hitch!
