Notes:<br />

1. From figure 88-B, Section No. 6.<br />

2. The HEMTT wrecker must have the locking pins secured in the outriggers to prevent them from settling down<br />

and out. Outriggers extending past the side of the car can cause serious accidents.<br />

3. The secondary load must be secured to 3 gs longitudinally (fore and aft) and 2 gs laterally and vertically.
