How to

Im looking for and could not find how to operate a 1972 5 ton m 816 military crane, which tm would show me. thanks

if this is the correct #

Try searching m819, or m246, or an m62 should work too. Only difference is a manual crane extension section.

The 10 will explain how to engage the linkage to the left of the driver seat and the controls at the rear to choose between the crane or rear winch.

if you look in the TM forum, the 5 ton and up , last page, last entry, all the TM's you need to use for the care and operation for your truck are there. The TM 9-2320-260-10 will explain rhe operation of the crane, in detail. It's the book we had to study before anyone would allow us to operate our wrecker.

Since your learning to operate it a good thing to do is check all gear boxes before hand. Then give the turn table a good greasing which is very easy with two people just watch your step.

Thank you all I have on order a TM 2320-260-10 OPERATORS MANUAL I found on ebay to show me how.
