WARNING

Injury to personnel or damage to equipment could result if unauthorized or unnecessary

individuals are nearby when lifting and lowering shelter. Permit only personnel actually engaged

in the lifting and lowering operation to be near the vehicle and lifting device. All instructions for

the lifting operations must come from the crew supervisor.

CAUTION

Lift shelter slowly to avoid tearing lifting eye assemblies from the shelter. Do not jerk the sling

when lifting.

CAUTION

Do not swing the shelter from side to side when lifting. This places additional stress on the lifting

eye assemblies which can tear them from the shelter.

e. Slowly lift shelter with suitable lifting device.

NOTE

The unit may be transported to new operating site by helicopter if necessary.

CAUTION

Bouncing or jarring can loosen the bond between the skin and foam-core and reduce the rigidity

and strength of the shelter. Do not bounce or jar the shelter.

f. Position truck under shelter and slowly lower it onto truck using towing eye rope to help guide it into position.

g. Remove lifting ring from lifting hook. Disassemble lifting ring and sling hooks. Remove sling center hooks from

the lifting eyes. Remove rope from rear towing eyes.
