e. Steering. There is a remarked difference between the A2 and
A3 configuration's steering systems.
For land operation of the A2
configuration, the driver uses the steering/brake levers to control
the APC.
For swimming operations, the A2 configuration uses pivot
steer handles for steering control (figure 1-21).
The A3
configuration uses a steering wheel for steering control for both
land and water operation.
Figure 1-20 shows the A3 configuration
steering wheel.
f. Transmission Control. When operating the A3 configuration of
the APC, the drivers controls the transmission using an electrical
transmission controller.
Figure 1-22 provides an illustration and
the location of the transmission controller used on the A3 configured
carrier.
The A3 configuration transmission controller provides the
capability to select four forward ranges, a reverse range, a pivot
vehicle (PV) position, and a steering lock (SL) position.
To control the transmission of the A2 configuration, the driver uses
a range selector.
The A2 range selector is located in the same
approximate location as the A3 transmission controller in the APC.
The A2 configuration range selector provides the capability to select
four forward ranges, a neutral range, and a reverse range.
Figure
1-23 illustrates the range selector operation for the A2 configured
vehicle.
This concludes part D.
Part E describes the new modified hull.
