Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig this load in 15 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Position the trailer with the rear of the trailer facing forward in the direction of flight.
─ Secure the ramps and equipment on the trailer bed with chains, tiedowns, or Type III
nylon cord.
CAUTION
Ensure the equipment or cargo on the trailer bed does not interfere
with the routing of the sling legs.
─ Ensure the spare tire is properly inflated.
─ Rotate the rubber mud flaps to the up stowed position.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 3-34.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on top of the trailer. The static wand person discharges
the static electricity with the static wand. The hookup person places the apex fitting onto the
cargo hook. The hookup team then carefully dismounts the trailer 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.
