## Preparing Trailer

8-4. Prepare the trailer as shown in Figures 8-8 through 8-12.

Note. Place a support device under the front of the trailer before raising the front landing gear.

1 Raise the front landing gear. Tie the landing gear handle in the stowed position using type III nylon
cord.
2 Fold the air hoses, cables, and chains along the drawbar. Tie them in place with type III nylon
cord.
3 Fill the toolbox with honeycomb. Close the toolbox lid and secure the lid with a lock or type III
nylon cord.
4 Wrap the spare tire wheel stowage bracket with cellulose wadding and tape.
Note. Pad all sharp areas of the trailer where contact is made with the lashing.

1 Tape the rear lights and reflectors on the trailer.
2 Pad the rear bumper with cellulose wadding and tape. 3 Route a 15-foot lashing through the left front tiedown provision, under the drawbar, and through
the right front tiedown provision and secure with a D-ring and load binder.
4 Tie the chocks in place with type III nylon cord.
1 Center the spare tire on the rear of the trailer deck between tiedown provisions 5 and 6.

2 Pass a 15-foot lashing through the left tiedown provisions 5 and 6 and through the wheel. Place
cellulose wadding under each tiedown lashing where it touches the trailer and the center of the tire. Secure the lashing with a D-ring and load binder.
3 Repeat step two for the right side of the trailer.

Note. All measurements are given in inches.

1. Cut one 2- by 6- by 156-inch piece of lumber.
2. Cut four 6- by 12-inch pieces of honeycomb. Position the first piece of 6- by 12-inch
honeycomb on top of the 2- by 6- 156-inch piece of lumber flush with the front edge of the
lumber.
3. Position the second piece of 6- by 12-inch honeycomb on top of the lumber 36 inches from
the rear edge of the first piece of honeycomb.
4. Position the third piece of 6- by 12-inch honeycomb on top of the lumber 36 inches from the
rear edge of the second piece of honeycomb.
5. Position the fourth piece of 6- by 12-inch honeycomb on top of the lumber flush with the rear
edge of the lumber.
6. Tape each piece of honeycomb to the lumber in two places.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to prepare the second body protection board.
1 Position a body protection board 8 inches from the front edge of the trailer on each side.

2 Pass a 15-foot lashing through the left tiedown provision 25 and through its own D-ring. Repeat
the procedure for the other side of the trailer. Secure the lashings with D-ring and a load binder.
3 Repeat step two using tiedown provision 5.

## Lifting And Positioning The Trailer

8-5. Install the lifting slings and position the trailer as shown in Figure 8-13.



1 Attach a 12-foot (2-loop), type XXVI nylon sling to tiedown provision 2 on each side of the trailer
with a large suspension clevis.
2 Attach a 12-foot (2-loop), type XXVI nylon sling to tiedown provision 6 on each side of the trailer
with a large suspension clevis.
3 Pass a 3-foot (2-loop), type XXVI nylon sling through the end loops of the slings installed in step
2. Join the ends of the 3-foot sling with a 2-point link.
4 Position the trailer on the honeycomb stacks so the rear of the trailer is flush with the front of the
platform and the front of the trailer overhangs the rear of the platform 4 to 6 inches.
5 Remove the lifting slings (not shown).

## Lashing Trailer To Platform

8-6. Lash the trailer to the platform according to TM 4-48.02 (FM 4-20.102)/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA
