CAUTION
The static rated working load of the tiedown ring assembly is 500 lb

will result in an unrestrained load causing damage to vehicle and/or
equipment.

tiedown ring (9) in direction of load and tighten bolt (8). Notify unit maintenance
to tighten bolt (8) to 65 lb-ft (88 N•m) when practical.
