    14 - Weight Classification.a) All single vehicles with a gross weight of over 3 tons, and all trailers with a ratedpayload exceeding 11/2 tons, are classified for the purpose of bridge crossing, per FM5-36. Each single vehicle and vehicle combination has a classification number for empty,cross-country loading, and highway loading. The classification numbers are used todetermine whether a bridge, correspondingly classified, can be safely crossed.

    b)All applicable self-propelled vehicles not towing other vehicles will carry a circularsign of 9 inch diameter with the vehicle's classification number in black on a yellowbackground. This will normally be located on the front of the vehicle toward the vehicle'sright side and below the driver's line of vision.

    c)All applicable self-propelled vehicles towing other vehicles will carry a sign similar insize, design, and location except that the classification number of the vehicle combinationwill be shown with the letter C in red above the number. A 6 inch yellow circle with thebasic vehicle classification number in black will be marked on the right side of thevehicle in a conspicuous location. The towed vehicle will be similarly marked with itsbasic classification number.

    d) When the classification number of the vehicle is not subject to change, the markingmay be applied directly on a suitable surface. On vehicles painted in gloss colours, themarkings will be gloss yellow, Colour Chip No. 13538; gloss black, Colour Chip No.17038; and gloss red, Colour Chip No. 11136. On vehicles painted in semi-gloss orlusterless colours, the markings will be lusterless yellow, Colour Chip No. 33538; glossblack, Colour Chip No. 17038 and gloss red, Colour Chip No. 11136. When the markingis applied directly to vehicles painted in the same or similar colour, the circumference ofthe circle will be outlined with a black circle .3/4, inch wide.

    e)In usage's where the classification number may change, a sign kit will be utilizedwhich consists of a 9 inch metal disk, a retaining plate, and two sets of five differentnumeral plates. By installing the retaining plate, the numeral plates will be locked inplace. The sign has black numerals on a yellow background and a red C on one side ofthe retaining plate (figure 14).

    h) A vehicle weight classification sign kit, as below is authorized for the replacement oflost described herein, will be installed on the front or damaged numeral plates andretaining of each vehicle except:

    (1)All trailers.(2)Vehicles having a gross weight of 3(3)Vehicles having standard classification numbers higher than 99.(4)Vehicles having rated payloads of 3/4, to 11/2 tons. This exception does notapply to vehicles authorized for towing loads.(5)Vehicles with fixed loads (such as tanks, self-propelled guns, etc.).

    i)Front classification signs for vehicles included in h(3), (4), and (5) above will bepainted directly on the vehicle. Side classification signs, where applicable, will also bepainted directly on the vehicle.

    j)These vehicle weight classification sign kits can be installed on vehicles in differentways. For example, in the case of Cargo Truck, M211, the sign can be installed on thebrush guard, on the splash shield, or in an upright position on the fender. The choice ofmethod is left to the using organization.

    (1)Location.(a)The classification sign will be installed on the vehicle in one of thefollowing locations:

    1)Right front fender.2)Right side of brush guard.3)Right front section of hull.4)Right side of center front bumper splash shield.

    (b)The sign will he placed below the driver's line of vision and will bepositioned so that it will not block headlamps, marker lights, blackoutlights, air intakes, etc.

    (2)Installation.(a)On brush guard.

    1)Paint the long universal bracket (channel) with rust-inhibitingenamel.2)After the enamel has dried, position the bracket so that the twoholes in the bracket align with two bolt holes (9 o'clock and 3o'clock positions) in the sign. Assure that the flat bearing surfaceof the bracket faces toward the sign. Install one bolt (1 3/4 incheslong) 123798, one washer 138538, and one nut 120368. Turn nuttwo or three turns.

  • 7/23/2019 TB746-93-1 Color, Markings and Camouflage 1964

    31/43

    3)With the bracket in a vertical position, insert it between two barsof the brush guard at the desired location. With one hand, reachbehind the brush guard and adjust the bracket to a horizontalposition. With the other hand, install another bolt (1.3/t incheslong), washer, and nut. Tighten both bolts, but apply only enoughtorque to secure the sign to brush guard. Excessive torque willcause the sign disk to bend. Figure 14 shows the sign installed onbrush guard.

    Caution: If it is found that the vehicle classification sign seriously obstructs air flow to theradiator, as indicated by engine overheating, remove sign from brush guard and Installsign elsewhere.

    (b) On sloping fender. Install the sign as indicated in 1 and 2 below onlywhen the slope of the fender is less than 30' from vertical. When the slopeof the fender is more than 30' from vertical, install the sign in a verticalposition, as outlined in (c) below, to insure readability of the sign.

    1)Position the sign in the desired location on the fender and, usingthe sign as a template, drill two 1%2inch holes in fender to align

    with bolt holes in the sign at the 9 O'clock and 3 O'clock positions.2)Install the sign to the fender with two bolts 120741 (3/4 in.long), two washers 138538, and two nuts 120368. Tighten boltssecurely (figure 15).

    shield. Bend short leg of bracket, as required, to conform to thecontour or slope of fender.6)Using the short leg of the bracket as a template, drill two 11/32-inch holes in fender or splash shield.7)Attach the sign to the fender or splash shield with two bolts (3/1in. long), two washers and two nuts.8)Secure the altered long universal bracket to the sign with onebolt (3/4 in. long), one washer, and one nut. (Insert bolt in holelocated between two stacks of numeral plates on sign).9)Drill an 11/32-inch hole in fender or splash shield to correspondwith the hole in the altered bracket and secure the bracket with one

    bolt (3/4 inch long), one washer, and one nut. Figure 17 showssign installed on splash shield. Figure 18 shows sign installed onsloping fender.
