The Bofors guns could in an emergency be fired from the truck platform without stabilization and aiming with open "spider-web" sights even when driving at a moderate speed.
Normally however the truck halted, the outriggers and jacks were folded out and the truck-gun platform was secured to the ground. So the truck type SP Bofors was not a fighting vehicle but only a means of transportation.
Then the Predictor was offloaded from the G/S trailer and put up on a tripod mount. Thereafter the electrical cables were attached between the Predictor and the gun platform.
