Failure tocomply may result in injury to personnel.RAMP PLATES — Three personnel are required to remove/install a rampplate. There are two ramp plates, one on each outer ponton at the ramp endadjacent to the roadway. Two additional ramp plates may be requisitionedand installed next to the ramp plate on each outer ponton. Both ramp platesare manually folded down when the ramp bay is anchored at the shore line, toincrease the useable width of the approach ramp. A ramp plate is manuallyreleased from its stowed position by loosening the strap via the strap ratchet,and removing the hook from the recess on the outer ponton walkway. Thehook is then connected to an eye on the underside of the ramp plate and thestrap is ratcheted tight; the ramp plate can then be folded down. To removeeither ramp plate from an outer ponton, remove two quick-disconnect pinsfrom two straight pins, and remove the straight pins from the outer pontonbrackets and two connecting links on the ramp plate. After removing theramp plate, stow all pins on the two connecting links for safekeeping. J
