ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE. - Continued
b.
Unloading Shelter. - Continued
CAUTION
Lift shelter slowly to avoid tearing lifting eye assemblies from the shelter. Do
not jerk the sling when lifting.
CAUTION
Do not swing the shelter from side to side when lifting. This places additional
stress on the lifting eye assemblies which can tear them from the shelter.
(6)
Lift the shelter slowly with a crane or helicopter, just high enough to clear the body of the transporter.
CAUTION
Do not bounce or jar the shelter. Bouncing or jarring can loosen the bond
between the skin and foam-core and reduce the rigidity and strength of the
shelter.
(7)
Move the transporter vehicle clear of the area and carefully lower the shelter to the previously
prepared area of ground.
(8)
Check the levels at the rear and side of the shelter. Make any adjustment necessary to level the
shelter. Be sure the center of shelter is adequately supported.
(9)
Remove sling assemblies from the shelter, and 1/2 inch (13 mm) ropes from towing eyes.
c.
Grounding the Shelter. The editorial shelter is grounded to the power source through the main power cable.
Be sure the power source is properly grounded.
d.
Unpacking.
(1)
Use care when unpacking any of the items of the Editorial Shelter.
