HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
SCOPE.
This technical manual provides you with the information you will need to operate and maintain the M101 Series and M116

The information contained in this manual is presented in five chapters and nine appendixes, one of which is a repair parts
and special tools list (RPSTL). Each chapter is divided into sections covering operating procedures and/or other
information for specific systems or components.
Note that Appendix A of this manual gives the full title of every manual, form, pamphlet, or other document referenced in
this manual.
INDEXING.
Four indexing procedures are used to help you locate information quickly:
Cover index. Lists chapter titles and important parts of the manual, with corresponding
page numbers. Each chapter or part listed is boxed in, with a black outer edge that is in
line with the first page of that chapter or part.
Table of contents. The table of contents, which follows the summary of warnings, lists
all chapters and sections numerically, with corresponding page numbers.
Section indexes. Each section starts with a numerical listing of all paragraphs in that
section.
Alphabetical index. The alphabetically arranged subject index starts on page Index-1.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES.
You must read and understand this manual BEFORE operating the M101 Series and M116 Series trailers.
Throughout this manual you will see WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE headings. There are good reasons for every one
of these notices.

A WARNING is used to alert the user to hazardous operating and maintenance

procedures, practices, or conditions that could result in injury or death.
WARNINGs must be strictly observed.
CAUTION
