RIGGING STEPS
1. Position the apex fitting near the roller. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the load (roller
end). Route inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear of the load (engine end). Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on
the left side of the load.
2. Route the chain end of sling leg 1 through the left front lift provision. Place the correct link from Table 8-
16 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right front lift provision. Secure the excess chain
with tape or Type III nylon cord.
3. Route the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision. Place the correct link from Table 8-
16 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 on the right rear lift provision.
4. Pad the sling legs/chains in the area where they make contact with the vehicle.
5. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs together on top of the roller to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

Materials. The following materials are required to rig this load:
„ Sling set (10,000-pound capacity).
„ 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.
„ Tie-down strap, CGU-1B (4 each).
z
Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig each load in 20 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Ensure the end of the load opposite the electrical connectors and fuse storage area is
designated as the front of the load.
─ Ensure the storage box lid is closed and secured with Type III nylon cord or tape.
─ Ensure the rocket motor box is secured with metal strapping.
─ Center the rocket motor box on top of the line charge container.
─ Connect two CGU-1/B tie-down straps together to form one long strap. Route the strap
around the line charge and rocket motor box lengthwise. Tighten the strap securely.
─ Route two CGU-1/B tie-down straps across the rocket motor box and underneath the line
charge container. Position the strap at each end of the containers approximately equal
distance from the center. Tighten the strap securely. Secure the excess tie-down strap
with tape or Type III nylon cord.
Note. When rigging the line charge without the rocket motor, omit preparation steps 3 through
6.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 8-17.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands alongside the line charge. 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 moves clear of the load but 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.

z
Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig each load in 10 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Secure the seat cushion and steering wheel with Type III nylon cord. Engage the hand
brake and place the transmission in neutral.
─ Ensure the fuel tank is less than 3/4 full.
─ Raise the fork tines 1 foot above the ground. Lift the fork ends upward and secure to the
lift cylinder frame using the CGU-1B straps.

„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 8-24.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands on top of the falling objects protection system (FOPS).
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 moves clear of the
load but 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.

Certified Single-Point Rigging Procedures for Engineer Equipment
RIGGING STEPS
1. Carefully place apex fitting on top of the compressor. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the
front of the trailer and the 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 from sling leg 1 through the left front lift provision on the tongue of the
trailer. Place the correct link from Table 8-31 in the grab hook. Repeat this procedure for
sling leg 2 on the right side of the tongue.
3. Loop the chain end from sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision. Place the correct link
from Table 8-31 in the grab hook. Repeat this procedure for sling leg 4. Tie (breakaway
technique) the sling legs to prevent fouling the hose reels. Secure excess chain with tape or
nylon cord.
4. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together to prevent entanglement during
hookup and lift-off.

RIGGING STEPS
1. Position the apex fitting near the mini-flail. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the
load (engine end). Route inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear of the load (flail head). Sling
legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of the load.
2. Route the chain end of sling leg 1 through the left front lift provision (engine end). Place the
correct link from Table 8-40 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right front lift
provision. Secure the excess chain with Type III nylon cord.
3. Route the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision (flail head end). Place the
correct link from Table 8-40 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 on the right rear lift
provision.
4. Pad the sling legs/chains in the area where they make contact with the vehicle.
5. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs together on top of the vehicle to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.
