OPERATION IN EMERGENCY (EMER) MODE

CAUTION

Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when CTIS is operating in EMER mode.

Operating vehicle in EMER mode is limited to ten minutes. Failure to comply

may result in damage to equipment.

Continued operation in EMER mode will result in eventual reduction in tire

life. Failure to comply may result in damage to equipment.

NOTE

CTIS OVERSPEED indicator will flash when in EMER mode, regardless of

speed.

CTIS is operated in EMER mode when a lower tire pressure (16 psi [110

kPa]) is needed to free vehicle from a stuck condition or to travel a short

distance over terrain that is known to require tire pressure less than 25 psi

(172 kPa]). Time at this pressure is limited to 10 minutes, after which time

inflation to SAND will begin. If Operator still requires EMER mode, then EMER

mode button must be pressed again.

Press EMER mode button (7). EMER mode light (8) will illuminate while CTIS is

operating in EMER mode.

If operating CTIS in EMER mode is no longer required, press the mode button you

wish to select. EMER mode light (8) will go out.
