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.
RIGGING STEPS
1. Connect 2 sling legs to apex fitting number 1. Position the apex fitting on the hood of the
vehicle.
2. Loop the chain end of the sling legs through their respective lift provisions that protrudes
through the hood. Place the correct link from Table 2-31 in the grab hook.
3. Connect 2 sling legs to apex fitting number 2. Position the apex fitting in the cargo bed of the
vehicle.
4. Loop the chain end of the sling legs through their respective eyelet openings in the upper
corner of the tailgate. Loop the chain end through the lift shackle on the rear bumper and
thread back through the eyelet opening in the tailgate. Place the correct link from Table 2-31
in the grab hook.
5. Secure all excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
6. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs in each sling set on top of the vehicle to
prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

─ Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full. Inspect fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
─ 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.
─ Secure the doors and door handles on the armored troop section with Type III nylon
cord.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-37.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on top of the vehicle. 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.
RIGGING STEPS
1. Connect 2 sling legs to web ring number 1. Position the web ring on top of the vehicle.
2. Loop the chain end of the sling legs through their respective lift provisions that protrudes
through the hood. Place the correct link from Table 2-38 in the grab hook. Secure all
excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
3. Connect 2 sling legs to web ring number 2. Position the web ring on top of the shelter.
4. Loop the chain end through the respective lift provision located on the rear of the vehicle,
near the center. Place the correct links from Table 2-38 in the grab hooks. Secure all
excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
5. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs in each sling set on top of the vehicle to
prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

Materials. The following materials are required to rig this load:
Sling set (25,000-pound capacity) with one additional apex fitting.
─ Additional chain length, part number 38850-00053-102, from a 25,000-pound capacity
sling set (6 each).
─ Additional coupling link, part number 5779135, from a 25,000-pound capacity sling
set (6 each).

Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Fold the cab sides up and fasten the roof to the cab if the cab is in the stowed/airdrop
position (airdrop variant only).
─ Extend the front lift provisions and the rear load spreaders and lock in place using the
attached pin and safety pin.
─ Roll up the windows in the cab.
─ Tape all windows, lights, and reflectors.
─ Remove the air intake cowling by loosening the clamp and twisting off. Place the
cowling on the floor board of the passenger's side.
─ Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead. Tie down the steering wheel using
the driver's side seat belt.
─ Fold the side view mirrors back and secure with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Safety the cargo bed walls securing clips in the secured position with tape (only if the
cargo bed walls are not stowed in the racks under the bed).
─ Stow the mud flaps by bending and hooking on the mud flap hooks.
─ Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
─ Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full. Inspect fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
─ Tape the filler pipes behind the cab on the driver's side to prevent the sling legs from
becoming entangled.
─ Secure any cargo that is stowed in the cargo bed cover with lashings, Type III nylon
cord, or tape.

Certified Dual-Point Rigging Procedures for Wheeled Vehicles
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-42.
Note: Figure 2-42 shows an MTV. The LMTVs only have one rear axle.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on the cargo bed cover. 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.

RIGGING STEPS
1.
Connect 2 sling legs to apex fitting number 1. Attach one extra chain length to each existing
chain on each sling leg using one coupling link. Position the apex fitting on the forward end
of the cargo bed cover.
2.
Loop the chain end of the sling legs through their respective lift provisions located behind the
vehicle cab. Place the correct link from Table 2-43 in the grab hook and secure all excess
chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
3.
Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs on top of the spare tire to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.
4.
Connect 2 sling legs to apex fitting number 2. Attach two extra chain lengths to each existing
chain on each sling leg using one coupling link for each additional chain length added.
Position the apex fitting on the rear of the cargo bed cover.
5.
Route the left and right chains through their respective rear load spreader and loop the chain
end of the sling legs through their respective lift ring, located on the chassis near the rear
axle. Route the chains back through the rear load spreaders and place the correct link from
Table 2-43 in the grab hook. Secure all excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord. Close
the safety gate on each of the rear load spreaders.
6.
Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs together to prevent entanglement during
hookup and lift-off.
