2-5. Loading and Tiedown Procedures
The rear ramp of the M577-series carriers
rear ramp requires special preparation to
prevent it from falling during transport.
See appendix E for instructions.
a.
Place the carrier in the tiedown position on a
semitrailer by using a crane of adequate capacity
(15-ton minimum), or drive the carrier onto a
semitrailer if a suitable ramp is available.
b.
Position the carrier on the semitrailer, using
the trailer’s cargo data plate as guidance. If no
cargo data plate is present, position the carrier so
that its weight is evenly distributed over the
tractor and trailer axles.
c.
Set the parking brakes.
Only the driver of the carrier is allowed
on the trailer bed during loading opera-
tions.
Do not load on side or lateral slopes
exceeding 10 percent or with a tractor-to-
trailer offset angle greater than 50. Avoid
loading on a severe downgrade, to prevent
the payload from rolling forward on the
trailer.
The M901A1 and M981 launcher must be
in the low stow position for transport. (See
app D or TM 9–2350–259 or TM 9-2350-
266 series for low stow procedures.)
