Loading and Securing the MC-TWPS to an MTVR
To transport the MC-TWPS on an MK23 or MK25 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) truck,
the MC-TWPS is loaded onto and secured to the MTVR as follows:
1. Remove the truck side panels and store them under the bed.
2. Place a length of 4x4 lumber against the headboard to space the TWPS from direct contact. This
avoids potential damage to the fabric cover.
CAUTION
If the MC-TWPS is set onto the MTVR using a forklift, insert the forks through the
forklift pockets from the front of the TWPS. Do not insert the forks through the
pockets at the back of the TWPS where the Micro-Filtration (MF) assembly is
located. Failure to observe this caution may result in significant damage to the MF
assembly.
NOTE
After positioning the TWPS onto the MTVR, check to make sure that the overhang
beyond the truck bed does not exceed the authorized limit of 6 inches.
3. Position the TWPS with the operator control station end of the TWPS at the rear or the truck.
4. Push the other end of the TWPS all the way up to against the 4x4 spacer.
NOTE
The MC-TWPS may be secured to the MTVR using standard 5K straps. The straps
are looped through the TWPS D-rings and back to the truck bed rings. This
doubled strap installation is required to provide proper impact rating.
Alternatively, the MC-TWPS may be secured to the MTVR using 10K straps. The
10K straps are attached directly from ring to ring. They do not need to be looped
(doubled).
5. Attach straps from the TWPS tie-down rings to the cargo tie-down rings located along each side
of the bed to secure the TWPS to the truck bed and prevent longitudinal movement (see Figure
28).
6. Raise the ISO locks into the locked position to provide additional transverse movement security.
