WARNINGS
1. Only HMMWVs with the 3/4-inch front lift provisions are
certified for sling loading in the side by side (shotgun) method.
2. HMMWVs with a manufacturer's serial number of less than
100000 are equipped with the 5/8-inch front lift provisions by the
manufacturer but can be changed to the 3/4-inch front lift
provisions by qualified maintenance personnel. HMMWVs with
manufacturer's serial number of 100000 or greater are equipped
with the 3/4-inch front lift provisions by the manufacturer. Prior
to sling loading HMMWVs in the side by side (shotgun) method,
verify that the HMMWVs are equipped with 3/4-inch front lift
provisions by checking the manufacturer's serial number or
measuring the diameter of the front lift provision. The HMMWV
manufacturer's serial number is located on a data plate on the
lower right corner of the driver's side door opening.

Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Extend the sling leg chains by connecting one additional chain length to each chain on
a 10,000-pound capacity sling set with coupling links.
─ Fold mirrors forward in front of the windshield for added protection and tie together
with Type III nylon cord.
─ Ensure the cargo bed cover is secured to the truck. Secure all equipment inside the
shelter with tape, nylon cord, or lashings; close and secure shelter vents and door with
nylon cord or tape.
─ Secure all equipment and cargo inside the vehicle with tape, nylon cord, or lashings.
Secure the doors shut if installed.
─ Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full. Inspect fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and battery caps for
proper installation.
─ Secure the vehicle camouflage net (in the bag) to each vehicle. Secure one net to the forward
doorpost of one vehicle and the other net to the hard part of the body covering the fuel tank
opening of the other vehicle.
─ Position the vehicles next to each other, as close as possible. Both vehicles must face the same
direction.
─ Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
─ Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead. Tie down the steering wheel, using the
securing device attached under the dashboard.
─ Tape the windshield in an X formation from corner to corner.
─ Remove and stow the fuel can holders from the tailgates.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-18.
Hookup. The hookup teams stand on the cargo bed cover and on the hood of the vehicles. The static
wand person discharges the static electricity with the static wand. The forward hookup person places
apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo
hook. The hookup team then carefully dismounts the vehicle and remains close to the load as the
helicopter removes slack from the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the hookup team
quickly exits the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.
