MISCELLANEOUS
Designed primarily for use on the road, a safety

latch
locks the hook in the closed position and two
eye
bolts
are provided for attachment of safety chains which should be crossed when installed, to
prevent the hooks from jumping out of the
eyes.

Keep
the attaching
bolts
tight at all times. When

lubricating
the vehicle, place a few drops of oil on the hook and safety latch pivot pins.

Pintle Hook Installation

Six
holes
are provided in the frame
rear
cross mem­
bers of 'Jeep* Universals for the installation of
pintle hooks and safety chain eye bolts. On most vehicles, the pintle hook is attached using the top
four
holes
and the eye
bolts
are attached using the
lower two holes. On 'Jeep* Universals equipped
with
tail
gates,
the position of the hook and the eye must be changed to provide proper clearance.
On
these
vehicles, use the lower four
holes
for at­taching the pintle hook and the upper two
holes
for
attaching the safety chain eye bolts.

Front
Bumper
Weight

The
best
performance of a four-wheel drive vehicle
is obtained when the load is equally distributed for
traction
on the front and
rear
wheels.
This
weight
distribution is disturbed when the vehicle is used
for drawbar work as the load on the
rear
wheels is increased and that on the front wheels decreased.
The
addition of a 265 pound front bumper weight
equalizes the load.
When
the load is equalized the front and
rear
axles
do approximately the same work which results in
prolonged life of
these
parts and considerably more
satisfactory performance.
The
bumper weight, Fig. U-3, is held in place by
four
bolts
and is provided with hand
holes
for lift­
ing.
Do not add sand
bags
or other
weights
in the vehicle. When driving over rough
terrain,
with the
weight in place, the driver should exercise due care.
