Materials. The following materials are required to rig this load:
„ Sling set (10,000-pound capacity) with one additional apex fitting.
„ Tape, adhesive, pressure-sensitive, 2-inch wide roll.
„ Cord, nylon, Type III, 550-pound breaking strength.
„ Webbing, cotton, 1/4-inch, 80-pound breaking strength.
„ Strap, cargo, tiedown, CGU-1/B (4 each).
z
Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig this load in 10 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Ensure all components are securely attached together.
─ Ensure the storage box lid is closed and secure. Secure safety chains, hoses, and any
other loose items with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Engage the parking brake.
Note. The rocket motor cannot be safely secured to the load in this configuration; therefore, the
rocket motor box must be kept separate and loaded internally into the helicopter.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 8-18.
„ Hookup. Two hookup teams are required for this load. The static discharge person
discharges the static electricity. The forward hookup person stands on the trailer chassis and
places apex fitting 2 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the trailer
chassis and places apex fitting 1 (lunette end) onto the aft cargo hook. The hookup teams then
carefully dismount the load and remain close to the load as the helicopter removes slack from
the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the hookup teams quickly exit the area
underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
„ Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.

RIGGING STEPS
1. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 1. Position apex fitting number 1 on the trailer
tongue.
2. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions
located aft of the trailer leveling wheels. Place the correct link from Table 8-18 in the grab
hook.
3. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 2. Position apex fitting number 2 on top of the aft
end of the launcher.
4. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions
located aft of the trailer wheels by the bumper. Place the correct link from Table 8-18 in the
grab hook.
5. Pull and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs to the launch rail.
6. Raise the apex fittings above the load. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs
in each sling set together to prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.
