Attach large clevis assemblies to each sling. Using two front and two rear lifting points, attach one clevis
to each lifting point. Position the M-Gator with the rear of the vehicle facing the front of the platform.
Align the rear edge of the M-Gator frame with the front edge of the honeycomb stack and center. Each tire
will be centered over a cutout in the honeycomb stack as shown in Figure 3-4.
