Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.
Note. Brief the helicopter crew to relax sling leg tension, lower the spreader bars onto the
shelter roof and antenna array support arms, and hover to the side of the load when releasing the
sling set.
RIGGING STEPS
1. Position apex fitting on top of the shelter. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front (shelter
end) of the load and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear (generator end). Sling legs 1 and 3
must be on the left side of the load.
2. Using the proper coupling links, add the chain extensions to each sling leg chain assembly.
3. Route the chain end of sling leg 1 through the fitting on the left end of the long spreader bar
and down the side of the shelter. Insert link 10 (counting down from the grab hook coupling
link) in the spreader bar end fitting. Route the chain end through the lift provision located on
the left side of the pallet frame, back up to the spreader bar, and insert link 23 in the end
fitting. Secure the chain in the end fitting by installing the retaining pin in the end of the
spreader bar. Place the correct link from Table 12-4 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg
2 through the right end fitting on the spreader bar, and lift provision on the right side of the
pallet frame.

4.
Route the chain end of sling leg 3 through the fitting on the left end of the short spreader bar
and down the side of the antenna array assembly. Route the chain end through the lift
provision located on the left side of the pallet frame below the generator engine and back up
through the spreader bar end fitting. Pull the chains tight to remove slack. Place the correct
link from Table 12-4 in the grab hook. Install the retaining pin in the end of the spreader bar.
Repeat with sling leg 4 through the right end fitting on the spreader bar and lift provision on
the right side of the pallet frame.
Note. The chain links do not lock in the end fittings on the short spreader bar like they do on the
long spreader bar.
5.
Tape the two loops of the chain legs together every 1 to 2 feet. Secure all excess chain with
tape or nylon cord. Place padding around the grabhooks and secure with tape or nylon cord
to prevent damage caused by the grabhooks when the sling is released.
6.
Pull the rear sling legs 3 and 4 tight over top of the antenna array to remove slack from the
sling legs. Cluster and tie or tape (breakaway technique) the sling legs together to prevent
the chains and grabhooks from fouling on the antenna array during hookup and lift-off.
7.
Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the front sling legs 1 and 2 together on top of the
shelter to prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

RIGGING STEPS
1. Lay out the first 10,000-pound cargo net. Place two MOSTs side-by-side facing in opposite
directions with two sheets of honeycomb between them. Close the net to the apex fitting of
the cargo net. Gather the excess net above the load and tape the net together every 3 feet
from the apex down (breakaway technique).
2. Lay out the second 10,000-pound cargo net next to the first one and center the two sleds on
the net side-by-side facing opposite directions. Close the net to the apex fitting of the cargo
net. Gather the excess net above the load and tape the net together every 3 feet from the
apex down (breakaway technique).
3. Attach the chain from the 10,000-pound sling leg to the apex of the cargo net holding the
sleds. Insert link 4 in the grabhook. The end of the sling leg with the apex attached is fed
under the net holding the two MOSTs along the axis of the honeycomb. It is passed through
the net at the center and pulled upward between the two sheets of honeycomb and attached
to the apex of the net using the apex. This will allow the sleds to hang directly below the
MOST.
