DOLLY SET WITH SHELTER TO TOWING VEHICLE (Con’t).
WARNING
Drawbar is heavy (120 lb). Use two persons
to lift drawbar. Failure to follow this
warning could result in injury or death to
personnel.
e.
Attach Iunette (11 ) to towing vehicle.
f.
Connect two safety chains (13) to towing vehicle.
g.
Remove emergency and service air hoses (12)
from dummy couplings. Connect emergency and service air
hoses (12) and intervehicular cable (6) to towing vehicle.
Open air valves on towing vehicle.
h.
For the M832 and M840, make sure quick-
release pins are installed and lifting-leveling jack valves are
closed (pars 2-1 3).
NOTE
l Proper air pressure in air springs is
essential for smooth riding of shelter.
Weight of shelter determines how much
pressure should be in air springs. Dolly
set should be on level ground with
weight evenly distributed,
l If a pressure of more than 100 psi (689
kPa) is needed, notify Unit maintenance.
i.
Use one of the following methods to inflate air
springs to proper pressure depending on availability of air
pressure and pressure gage:
Method 1:
l Lower shelter fully to ground (pare 2-17).
• When payload is under 6200 lb (2814.80
kg), inflate air springs (14) to “load off’
pressure on data plate that corresponds to
payload.
l Lift shelter to transport position (para 2-12).
