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-, 25,000- or 40,000-pound capacity sling set with coupling links. Connect two
additional chain lengths to each chain on the 15,000-pound multileg sling set chain
with coupling links.
─ Fold mirrors forward in front of the windshield for added protection and tie together with
Type III nylon cord.
─ 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 environmental control unit cover with duct tape.
─ Disconnect the power cord from the rear panel and secure it to the rear platform with
Type III nylon cord. Lower the power panel door and secure the door.
─ 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.
─ 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.
─ Install the lift provisions on the outer ends of the rear bumper by removing the tiedown
provisions located inboard of the bumper end and installing them on the outer ends of
the rear bumper.
─ Remove the upper antenna mounting bracket if installed.
„
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-9.
Note. Hookup of this load presents substantial risk of damage to the load or injury to the
hookup personnel. Use of a reach pendant is recommended for this load.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands on top of the shelter. The static wand person discharges
the static electricity with the static wand. The hookup person places the apex fitting onto the
aircraft 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. Position apex fitting on top of the shelter. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the
vehicle and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear. Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of
the load.
2. Loop the chain end of sling leg 1 through the left front lift provision that protrudes through the
hood from inboard to outboard. Place the correct link from Table 2-9 in the grab hook.
Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right front lift provision. Secure excess chain with Type III
nylon cord.
3. Route the chain end of sling leg 3 through the lift provision located on the left end of the rear
bumper from inboard to outboard. Place the correct link from Table 2-9 in the grab hook.
Repeat with sling leg 4 and the right rear lift provision. Secure excess chain with Type III
nylon cord.
4. Wrap the rear slings with padding where they contact the shelter sides.
5. Raise the apex fitting above the shelter carrier keeping the slings to the side of the shelter.
6. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the shelter to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

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.

RIGGING STEPS
1. Position apex fitting on top of the shelter. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the
vehicle and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear. Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of
the load.
2. Loop the chain end of sling leg 1 through the left front lift provision that protrudes through the
hood from inboard to outboard. Place the correct link from Table 2-24 in the grab hook.
Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right front lift provision. Secure excess chain with tape or
Type III nylon cord.
3. Route the chain end of sling leg 3 through the lift provision located on the left end of the rear
bumper from inboard to outboard. Place the correct link from Table 2-24 in the grab hook.
Repeat with sling leg 4 and the right rear lift provision. Pad the slings where they contact the
frame. Secure excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
4. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the shelter to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.
