Tie a 1/2-inch rope at least 15 feet (4.6
meters) long to each rear shelter towing eye.

Position a man on each rope to assist in
positioning the shelter during the lifting operation.
(4)
Lower the truck tailgate and make sure
that all tools and equipment have been removed from
the truck body.
WARNING
To avoid injury to personnel and
damage to equipment, permit only
those
individuals
actually
engaged in the lifting operation to
be near the vehicle and the lifting
device. Also, all instructions
relative to the lifting operations
must
come
from
the
crew
supervisor.
CAUTION
Do not jerk the shelter when
lifting. A pull greater than the
actual amount required to lift the
shelter will tear the lifting eye
assemblies from the shelter.
CAUTION
Avoid swinging the shelter from
side to side. The additional stress
placed
on
the
lifting
eye
assemblies will tear the lifting eye
assemblies from the shelter.
