General Dynamics Portable Vehicle Arresting Barrier Manual?

[Third From Texas]

I picked up a PVAB for $25 awhile back. I figured I could make a potato launcher or something out of it if it was missing bits, but after cleaning up the valves and installing a new set of batteries I aired it up everything works. Best I can tell, it is complete..

The only thing missing was the manual, so I've been winging it with the setup using the only YouTube video I could find for pointers, but I'm sure that there are things I need to know about deploying it.

I've searched the web with no luck. I figured it was a long shot, but it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone here might have a any guidance to where I might find a TM, etc.

I've no idea what I'll use it for, but in the current environment it might come in handy for something, someday...

That's pulling up a gas mask for me.

I did find another PVAB TM that was used by the Marines I think. But it's just a net and some stuff that stows in a couple packs.

This thing pops up out of the ground and comes in six wooden crates. I've got the gist of setting most of it up, but as I said it's got a lot of safety features that I want to understand before I play with it much.

Thats what LOGSA had for a TM listed. Will run it again tonight.

So, I tried to download and apparently I am no longer "special" enough to know anything anymore.

Hell if I know now. I couldn't pull a link off that site to the pdf. I ran that the NSN and the TM number and got to a gas mask (3rd-party site). Looked dodgy and I don't d/l dodgy. I've been surfing for this thing for a week and I've no idea where all it's sent me.

Still no joy finding a working pdf.

I can tell by the online pics that the manual was hooked to the one bases that came with no crate. There were a few pages of paper mache in one crate, complements of a rodent.
