TM 5-2090-200-12&P 2-5.  Unloading Boat and Boat Cradle The rear winch and boom of the transporter can be used to unload the boat cradle onto a hardstand. a. Prepare the transporter for unloading.  Refer to paragraphs 2-3 e and f. b. Push the boom and winch hydraulic control levers to elevate the boom cable so that the boat cradle rolls downward over the rear support inboard rollers. c. After the center of gravity passes the inboard rollers, adjust the boom elevation as needed to maintain alignment with the boat cradle and so that the bow of the boat does not contact the ground.  Continue to pay out the boom cable and allow the boat cradle to descent toward the hardstand. d. Allow the end of the boat cradle to come to rest on the hardstand.  Use an assistant to pay out the boom cable as needed.  Release the brake and slowly move the transporter forward as the assistant pays out the boom cable, so that the transporter rolls beneath the boat cradle until the forward cradle stop pins engage the stop brackets on the rear support inboard rollers.  The transporter can be pushed forward on level ground by raising the boom. e. The assistant will perform the following procedures: (1) Elevate the boom to a vertical position, adjusting the boom cable as needed. (2) Rewind the boom cable slightly, so that the dolly end of the boat cradle is raised enough to allow the stop pins to clear the stop brackets. f. Move the transporter, place the transmission in neutral, and lock the service brakes. g. Extend  the  boom  to  maximum,  so  that  the  end  of  the  boat  cradle  will  clear  the  rear  support  of  the transporter. h. Pay out the boom cable until the dolly end of the boat cradle rests on the hardstand.  Pay out enough slack so that the boom cable can be disconnected from the  boat cradle. i. Lift  and  secure  the  latch  hook  in  the  unlatched  position.    Remove  the  bridge  pin  retainer  from  the latch block retaining screw.  Remove the screw and latch block. j. Disengage the hook from the dolly, pull the cable and hook through the hole in the folly beam, and lift the cable off of the sheave. k. Reinstall the latch block, retaining screw, and bridge pin retainer.  Release and relatch the latch hook. l. Rewind  the  boom  cable,  retract  the  boom,  disengage  the  hand  throttle,  depress  the  clutch,  lift  the control  lever  to  disengage  the  power  take-off,  select  the  proper  range  for  the  transfer  case,  and  move  the transporter to the next worksite as described in TM 9-2320-260-10. Section II.  OPERATION UNDER UNSUAL CONDITIONS 2-6.  Operation in Extreme Cold a. Extra care should be taken in loading, unloading, launching and retrieving the Boat Cradle in snow or icy conditions.  Remove ice and snow from the Cradle before operation. b. Lubricate the cradle for cold weather conditions in accordance with LO 5-2090-200-12. 2-7.  Operation in Extreme Heat Lubricate the cradle for hot weather conditions in accordance with LO 5-2090-200-12. 2-8.  Operation in Salt Water Areas a. General.  Operation in salt water requires special precautions due to the extremely corrosive actions that  are  encounter.    Rust  and  corrosion  formation  are  greatly  accelerated  in  a  salt  water  environment.    The cradle  should  be  hosed  down  with  fresh  water  when  removed  from  salt  water.    Signs  of  corrosion  and  bare spots in painted surfaces should be corrected and repainted as soon as practicable. b. Lubrication.  Lubricate the cradle for operation in salt water in accordance with LO 5-2090-200-12. Change 2 2-16
