TM 10-3930-671-24 Heavy components can fall and cause severe injury. Keep your feet and body clear at all times. The    frame    has    hooks    which    support    and    hold    the counterweight in place when correctly installed. Normally, the counterweight is held from falling off by these hooks when the  fasteners  are  removed.  Be  sure  the  hoist  and lifting chains are securely attached to and supporting the counterweight before these fasteners are removed. 6. Lift   counterweight   up   to   clear   the   frame   and remove  from  truck.  Lower  the  counterweight  to floor  level,  then  move  it  slowly  and  carefully  to transport and store in a safe location. 7. It is recommended to use a load platform (pallet, or equivalent) in good condition and of adequate capacity   for   temporary   or   permanent   storage, and for movement (transport) of the counterweight. 8. Carefully  lower  the  counterweight  onto  the  load platform  or  floor.  When  storing,  always  put  the counterweight in a stable position with the broad, flat side down. 9. Remove the lifting chains or sling. 10. If  counterweight  must  be  stored  on  its  curved side  for  inspection  or  servicing,  be  sure  to  put adequate blocking at each side to prevent rolling or shifting. F-490
