2-55.
LOWERING BOW RAMP-LOCAL (Cont).
The winch wire rope is capable of raising and lowering the ramp. The winch wire rope is
capable of raising and lowering the ramp alone, but is not capable of supporting the
ramp during loading or unloading operations. Normally, the ramp will be supported on
the forward end and the cable and chain will be slack. If the ramp must be suspended
from the chains,  the chain stopper must be set against the chain guide to prevent
overloading of the cable.
