and hoist winch speed.

17.
Move HOIST WINCH operating lever to LOWER position to release tension on cables.

Disconnect hoist winch cable from 90-ton snatch block by removing shackle.
CAUTION
Use disabled vehicle tow cables as a sling leg for recovery operation (FM 4-30.31
(WP 0131)). The use of M88A1 tow cables does not allow accurate sling leg force
calculation. Improper angle will give false-use-of-shackle estimation. Failure to comply may
result in damage to equipment.

Connect disabled vehicle's tow cables to its tow lugs, using disabled vehicle tow hooks.
20.
Connect 90-ton snatch block (Figure 5, Item 1) to tow cable sling legs (Figure 5, Item 3), using 1-1/4 inch
