WARNING
Lowering ramp could injure
personnel. Make sure no one
is in ramp zone before you
lower ramp. Unlocked ramp
can fall open suddenly. Per-
s o n n e l c a n b e k i l l e d o r i n -
jured. Check that ramp cable is connected
with no slack. Ramp system and hull can get
damaged if ramp unlocks when carrier is in
operation. Do not operate carrier if locks do
not secure ramp properly. Keep away from
ramps that have come open during carrier
operation.
If space and tactical situation permits, you may also lower the rear ramp. This will
make your PMCS flow easier. It will save needless climbing to enter and exit the
carrier.
Release catch on ramp locking lever and swing it back as far as it will go.
CAUTION
Do not lower ramp on uneven ground or
drop ramp too fast. Either will damage
ramp.
Push forward on ramp control lever. The farther you push the faster the ramp
drops. To stop lowering, release lever smoothly and it will stay put until you move
the lever again.
