z
Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig each load in 15 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Adjust the boom arm and attachment angles:
─ Tilt the construction and industrial bucket, pallet forks, dozer blade, or angle broom all
the way up and lower the boom all the way down.
─ Tilt the 36-inch auger all the way up and adjust the boom height so the auger point is 8-
12 inches off the ground.
─ Secure the 36-inch auger bit and angle broom with CGU-1/B cargo tiedown straps as
follows:
─ Swing the 36-inch auger bit all the way to the left and secure with a CGU-1/B cargo
tiedown strap. Route the strap around the point of the bit and around the boom arm
above the attachment connection. Tighten the strap (see insert Figure 8-41).
─ Route a CGU-1/B cargo tiedown strap around the left side of the angle broom and around
the boom arm above the attachment connection. Repeat the above procedures on the
right side. Tighten the straps.
─ Detach any attachment hydraulic hoses and cover the ends with tape.
─ Secure each control arm lever to the side of the roll over protection system (ROPS) with
Type III nylon cord.
─ Tie the rear lift provisions to the ROPS in the up position with Type III nylon cord.
─ Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full. Inspect the fuel tank cap for proper installation.
─ Tape all windows, lights and reflectors.
─ Tape the end of the exhaust pipe.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 8-41.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on the rear of the load directly behind the ROPS. 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.

RIGGING STEPS
1. Position the apex fitting on top of the ROPS. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the
vehicle and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear of the vehicle. 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. Place the correct link
from Table 8-41 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right front lift provision.
3. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision. Place the correct link
from Table 8-41 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 and the right rear lift provision.
Secure excess chain with Type III nylon cord.
4. Tie the grabhooks from the rear sling legs to the side of the ROPS with Type I, 1/4-inch
cotton webbing.
5. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the vehicle to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

Certified Single-Point Rigging Procedures for Liquid
Containers
INTRODUCTION
9-1. This chapter contains rigging procedures for single-point lift of liquid containers that have been
certified for sling load. Each rigging procedure is found in a paragraph that includes a description of the
load, materials required for rigging, and steps to complete the procedure. An applicability paragraph is
also a part of each paragraph and identifies the certified loads. The certified single-point rigging
procedures for liquid containers are in this section. Paragraphs 9-2 through 9-6 give detailed instructions
for rigging loads.
Note. Reach pendants may be used on all single point loads. A static discharge person is not
required when using a reach pendant.

─ Ensure all the bolts in the environmental control unit (ECU) mounting frame are present
and tight.
─ Secure the ECU cover with tape or Type III nylon cord.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 10-3.
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 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.
RIGGING STEPS
1. Position apex fitting on top of the shelter. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the
shelter and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear (door end). 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 at the top left corner of the
shelter. Place the correct link from Table 10-3 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 on
the right front lift provision. Secure the excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
3. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision at the top left corner of the
shelter. Place the correct link from Table 10-3 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 on
the right rear lift provision. Secure the 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.

Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Inspect the inside and outside of the DTC for any sign of skin separation (delamination)
from the frame structure.
WARNING
Any separation of the skin from the structural members may
indicate a reduction in structural integrity and should not be
flown.
─ Remove all antennas. Disassemble and securely stow inside the shelter.
─ Close and secure all doors, vents, and caps with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Secure all loose equipment (antennas, electrical lines, hoses, etc.) inside the shelter with
tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Ensure all the bolts in the environmental control unit (ECU) mounting frame are present
and tight.
─ Secure the ECU cover, if installed, with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Secure the lift rings in a vertical position with Type III nylon cord.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 10-4.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on top of the shelter. The static wand person discharges
