3-16.5 Connect winch #5 (See Figure 3-6) to
the next vehicle and pull it to the rear posi-
tion on the lower deck (See Figure 3-11).
Secure with chains (See Section 3-17) .
3-16.6 Lower the front of the semitrailer then
move the axles to the rear until the semi-
trailer is in transport position.
3-16.7 Lower the arms; front first, then rear; to
allow a minimum clearance of 1" above the
vehicles on the lower deck. (See Figure
3-11).
3-17 SECURING THE LOAD
3-17.1 All vehicles must be securely tied front
and rear to the deck with 5/16 HI-TEST
chain. Key holes are provided in the front
and rear of each deck floor to anchor and
D-rings are provided in the mid section of
each trailer deck for anchoring. (See Figure
3-12) .
3-17.2 The front of each vehicle must be se-
cured to the load anchor ahead of the vehi-
cle, and the rear of each vehicle must be se-
cured to the anchor behind it.
3-17.3 There must not be any slack in the
chains or the vehicles will be allowed to shift.
A shifting load will create sufficient momen-
tum to break HI-TEST chains. Remove chain
slack by using chain boomers, or other slack
adjusters designed to be used for securing
loads.
