3.
It is recommended that a singnal person
(helper) be utilized to assist the host vehicle
operator in alignment.
4.
Locate the sandbagger attachment on a level
area large enough to accomodate the host
vehicle. It is recommended that the back side
of the attachment be blocked up 3 to 5 inches
to permit easier access for pin installation

right side cab had hold and over top of door
mirror mounting to quick disconnects on
