capabilities of LHS will allow loading of more than 10 tons (9 metric tons),
ensure load does not exceed 10-ton (9 metric ton) limit. Failure to comply
may result in injury or death to personnel and damage to equipment.
NOTE
During all vehicle operations, the operator will drive and be responsible
for the operation of the LHS cab control box. The assistant acts as a
ground guide and will be responsible for directing the operator using hand
signals, operating the remote control box and winch, and assisting the
operator as needed.

Unload the BAP (WP 0039) if it is on the vehicle.
CAUTION
BAP hold-down locks must be unlocked from the LHS prior to commenc-
ing BAP unloading operations. Failure to release BAP hold-down locks
could result in damage to equipment.
2.
If NATO flatrack is loaded, inspect load, and ensure it is secure and weight of load does
not exceed 10 tons (9 metric tons).
3.
