1.
The semitrailer is easily configured for either breakbulk or containerized cargo.
WARNING
•
Do not tow the semitrailer with the M52, M52A1, or M52A2 truck tractor. The M52 series inherent
design capabilities are not compatible with the semitrailer, and use would result in a serious
compromise to the safety of personnel and equipment.
•
When towing the semitrailer with the M818, M931 series, or M932 series tractors, the fifth wheel
wedges on the M818 are to be in the locked-in (pushed-in) mode for highway and secondary road
use, and in the locked-out (pulled-out) mode for cross-country operation. Failure to follow this
warning may result in injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
2.
The semitrailer can be towed by the M915 for improved highway use only, or the M818, M931, and M932 for either
highway or off-road.
3.
The semitrailer can carry up to 45,000 lb (20,412 kg) of cargo.
4.
