Mounting Shelter on Vehicle (Refer to Figure 4-3)
WARNING
To prevent injury or death to personnel, ensure hooks of lifting device are inspected and
securely attached before lifting shelter.
Slings and hoists must be properly certified. Use of an uncertified sling, or a sling which is
not currently certified, may result in equipment damage or severe injury or death to personnel.
Do not use handling and lifting equipment of less capacity than the gross shelter weight.
Failure to observe warning may result in equipment damage or severe injury or death to
personnel.
LMS shelter weighs in excess of 600 pounds. Failure to follow safety procedures when the
shelter is being lifted and handled can result in severe injury or death.
CAUTION
Do not jerk, bounce, or jar shelter when lifting. Avoid swinging shelter from side to side. Do
not attempt to butt or push shelter into place with a forklift. If shelter is crated or palleted,
follow the stenciled instructions for forklift operations.
If shelter panel is punctured during loading or securing, repair puncture as soon as possible
to prevent moisture from seeping into panels and to restore RFI/EMI shielding.
Carefully watch rear portion of shelter and vehicle to prevent interference and possible
damage.
NOTE
Both the HMMWV and shelter should be laterally and longitudinally level to aid in proper
alignment as shelter is lowered.
