RIGGING STEPS
1. Position apex fitting on top of the truck. 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 2-27 in the grab hook.
Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right front lift provision. Secure excess chain with Type III
nylon cord.
3. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision located on the outer ends
of the rear bumper. Place the correct link from Table 2-27 in the grab hook. Repeat with
sling leg 4 and the right rear lift provision. Ensure sling leg 4 is routed between the
handholds on the right side of the system. Remove the slack from sling leg 4 and secure the
sling leg to the front handhold with Type I, 1/4-inch cotton webbing. Secure excess chain with
Type III nylon cord.
4. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the vehicle to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

─ Remove the canvas cover and doors. Secure the canvas and doors inside the vehicle with
tape, Type III nylon cord, or tiedown straps.
─ Secure all equipment and cargo inside the vehicle cab with tape, Type III nylon cord, or
tiedown straps.
─ 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 or type III nylon cord.
─ Stow and secure the Shore Mounted Accessory Kit (SMAK) antenna mast. Install the
mast cover and secure with tape.
─ Rotate the antenna array dishes 180 degrees from the normal stowage position; so the
curved sides are facing out.
─ Ensure the offset adapters are stowed and secured.
─ Ensure the left and right SMAK antenna arrays are secured in the normal stowage
position.
─ Secure the power amplifier case in the normal stowage location over right rear wheel
well.
─ Secure the cables on the spools on the left rear wheel well.
─ Secure the universal power supply in normal stowage location between the front seats.
─ Stow and secure radio equipment.
─ Secure the rear roof bow in the rear most position to the SMAK antenna mast with Type
III nylon cord.
Tape the windshield in an X formation from corner to corner.
„
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-27.
„

„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Fold mirrors forward in front of the windshield for added protection and tie together with
Type III nylon cord.
─ Secure all equipment and cargo inside the vehicle with tape, nylon cord, or lashings.
Remove and secure the doors in the cab of the vehicle.
─ 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.
─ 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.
─ Tape the windshield in an X formation from corner to corner. Tape all mirrors, lights,
and gauges. Remove and secure the rear cabin window.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-33.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands on the vehicle bed. 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.

Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Secure all loose chains, hoses, and cables to the trailer drawbar with Type III nylon cord.
─ Secure any lids, caps, or loose items with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Tape or tie the light cable firmly to the top of the drawbar.
─ Place the leveling jacks in the down position. Ensure the base of the leveling jacks are
not extended. Stow the jack handles and secure with Type III nylon cord. The trailer
should lean downward at the lunette end.
─ Ensure the parking brake is set.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 3-3.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands in the bed of the trailer. 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 in the trailer bed. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the trailer
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 located on the left front
corner of the trailer. Place the correct link from Table 3-3 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling
leg 2 through the right front lift provision.
3. Route the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision. Place the correct link
from Table 3-3 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 through the right rear lift provision.
Secure excess chain with Type III nylon cord.
4. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the trailer to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off. Secure excess chain with tape or Type III nylon
cord.
