NOTE
Check vehicle maintenance record for

maintenance has been performed (refer to
TM 9-2350-256-10), perform the following
procedures.
A Open left rear exhaust deflector door and
transmission access door. While an assistant moves
steering wheel from full-right to full-left turn,
observe movement of transmission steer lever on
steer valve body of transmission. If transmission
steer arm does not move, check linkage and
repair/replace broken or missing parts. If
transmission steer linkage does not move, check
steer linkage adjustment (see paragraph 9-73). If all
mechanical linkages are properly adjusted and move
freely, notify Direct Support Maintenance.
B Open rear exhaust deflector grille doors and
transmission
access doors. Observe brake
adjustment gage and alignment mark on brake rod
(see paragraph 9-80). If brake adjustment gage and
alignment mark on brake rod do not line up, adjust
brake. Check adjustment on brake air valve linkage
(see paragraph 7-1) and adjust if required.
C Open rear exhaust deflector grille doors and
transmission access doors. With brakes released,
check to see that each brake-supply-and-slack-
adjustment lever (right and left) is touching the
respective
stops. If brake-apply-and-slack-
adjustment levers do not touch their respective
stops, adjust brake linkage (see paragraph 9-80).
