Soviet BTR APC Interior Data Plates - Gearbox, PTO, Winch & Water-Jet Controls

This photograph shows Russian-language instruction/data plates mounted inside a Soviet-era amphibious armored personnel carrier (BTR type, indicated by the words 'бронетранспортеру' — armored personnel carrier — and 'водомет' — water-jet propulsion). The upper plate, titled 'Position of the gearbox and power take-off shift levers,' diagrams lever positions for: the transfer case (direct drive / neutral / demultiplier low-range), front axle engagement (engaged/disengaged), power take-off to the rollers (engaged/disengaged), the 4-speed-plus-reverse gearbox H-pattern (I–IV plus reverse), the winch (on/off), and the water-jet drive (reverse / neutral / forward). It warns to disengage the front axle on dry hard roads and to engage the demultiplier only after engaging the front axle. The middle plate, 'Winch Control,' explains that self-recovery with the winch requires engaging the power take-off, the reduction (low) gear, and first gear; winch reverse is achieved via reverse gear, and for pulling loads toward the vehicle the transfer-case lever goes to neutral. A partially glare-obscured lower plate covers a drain valve ('open/closed — turn the handle fully in both directions'), and a toggle switch at right is labeled 'ЖАЛЮЗИ' (louvers) 'ОТКРЫТО/ЗАКРЫТО' (open/closed). This is not a Ford Bronco document.
