RETRIEVING BRIDGE

CAUTION

Examine lay of bridge with respect to vehicle. Vehicle must be in line with bridge to pick up

bridge. If bridge and vehicle do not line up, raise end of bridge and block up bridge end

until they line up. Ensure that vehicle is far enough away from bridge so tongue pintles

will not strike bridge diaphragm when tongue is lowered. Failure to comply may result

in damage to vehicle or bridge.

NOTE

Two personnel are required for retrieving bridge. One person is needed at vehicle controls

and second person is needed outside to direct movements of vehicle.

2. Remove nut (Figure 1, Item 5) from bolt (Figure 1, Item 2).

3. Remove bolt (Figure 1, Item 2) and hold-down chain (Figure 1, Item 4) from bracket (Figure 1, Item 3).
