WARNING
All personnel must wear approved life jackets while on
the bay. Failure to comply may result in injury or death
to personnel.
Do not place fingers under transverse upper couplings
when opening them, or serious injury to personnel may
result.
NOTE
Use roadway tool and crowbar to close gap between
inner pontons when transverse upper couplings cannot
be opened otherwise.
v. Open two transverse upper couplings (2) by lifting each lever and returning
it to its own receptacle block.
NOTE
Perform steps w through aa for retrieval of ramp bay, or
perform steps ab through af for retrieval of interior bay.

drive jackscrew is backed-off one full rotation after
lower lock-drive pin is fully retracted.

and lower lock-drive pin (6) is fully retracted.
NOTE
As viewed from rear of bay (approach ramp end),
disengage the right-hand ponton swivel hooks by
turning shafts counterclockwise and the left-hand side
clockwise.
