GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Vehicle brakes must be set. Transmission selector must be in park.
2. Turret gun must be in the aft travel position and secured to prevent movement. Turret rotation and gun-elevating
controls must be wire-tied, if feasible, to prevent movement of turret and gun.
3. Hook openings of chains around structural members of the bulldozer blade must face opposite the direction of pull
of the tiedown chain.
4. Turnbuckles of front and rear chain tiedowns must be tightened at the same time to avoid distu rbing the tank
position.
5. Also applicable are General Rules 4, 5, 7, 11, 15(g), 19, 19A, and 19C in Section 1 of the Rules Governing the
Loading of Commodities on Open-Top Cars and Trailers, published by the Association of American Railroads. These
general rules are also found in TM 55-2200-001-12.

and turnbuckle, compression unit, or coupling link.
