I have a paper manual at home titled preperation for overseas shipment or something like that and it may have covered it. I'll have to check the magazine rack in the head to see if I can find it.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
At least one person gets it.That bolt that "hinges" is not in-line with the frame. Even when you just "tilt" the trailer, it is putting a twisting stress into that point. Do it enough and the twisting is eventually going to crack that point. I agree that backing up so far as to take the tires off the ground is going to greatly shorten the time frame in which that crack happens but even if you just "tilt" the trailer its going to crack.
That is a nice trailer. Sitting there just waiting to be plucked , after the "tilit" jobit may need a new tailgate paintob.. It sure would be away to bend you gate woudn't you think?So this is the tilt position...

Actually when the M101 series is "folded" for shipment the exact opposite of what we do to tilt them is done. The two tongue mounting bolts under the frame are removed and tounge is pivoted up on the two bolts on the front so it is straight up and down, with the rearmost part of the tongue now holding it up and the lunette is straight up.
