Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 18-2.
─ Spread out all five nets side by side.
─ Center the pump on net #1 (5,000-pound capacity).
─ Center two metal containers with tanks and fittings on net #2 (10,000-pound capacity).
Position the third container on top of the bottom two containers.
─ Center both filters on net #3. Tie three fire extinguishers to each side of the filters with
Type III nylon cord. Place six rolled hoses on top of the filters. Pull the net up around
the load and tie the corners to the pumps.
─ Place 15 long hoses centered on net #4 (5,000-pound capacity). Build a pyramid of 120
hoses.
─ Secure all signs on a pallet and secure with Type III nylon cord. Center the net on net
#5. Secure four fire extinguishers on a second pallet and center on the net. Pile all
remaining hoses on the pallets.
Hookup. The hookup team stands alongside the load. 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.

─ Place two sheets of felt side by side on top of the reflector, tape the centerline, and secure
in place with Type III nylon cord routed from one step over the receiver-transmission
group and reflector to the other step.
─ Secure the fuel drum with 1/2-inch tubular nylon to the step.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 21-1.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on the trailer fenders. 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 reflector. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front (tongue
end) of the load 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 tongue.
Place the correct link from Table 21-1 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right
front lift provision. If a fuel drum is being moved, route sling legs 1 and 2 through the lunette
instead of the lift provisions.
3. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision located aft of the receiver-
transmission group. Place the correct link from Table 21-1 in the grab hook. Repeat with
sling leg 4 and the right rear lift provision.
4. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together to prevent entanglement during
hookup and lift-off.

Procedures. The following procedures apply to these loads:
Preparation. Prepare the loads using the following steps:
─ Bolster trailer with pontoons and cradle:
─ Secure the pontoons on the cradle and trailer according to the operator's manual.
─ Secure both sides of the cradle to the trailer with tie-downs.
─ Under the bottom pontoon and on top of the cradle, secure the cradle to the trailer by
wrapping one tie-down strap around the cradle and trailer frame at each side of the
load in the vicinity of the rear wheels. Repeat this procedure at the
forward wheels.
Pontoons and cradle: Secure the pontoons to the cradle according to the operator's
manual.
LTR superstructure (light bundle):
─ Place two timbers on the ground as shoring approximately 6 feet apart.
─ Lay both cables on the ground parallel to and on the outside of the timbers.
─ Stack the four deck panels on the timbers. Face the deck plates of the bottom and third
panels down and the second and top panels up. All male ends must be in the same
direction.
─ Connect the two articulating assemblies and place them on top of the stack of deck
panels.
─ Place two end ramp panels, butt end to butt end, on top of the articulating assemblies.
─ Place six deck filler panels in the space between the bottom and second deck panels.
─ Place remaining two deck filler panels, six short deck filler panels, and six short curbs in
the space between the third and top deck panels.
─ Place the four normal curbs in the space between the top deck panel and the articulating
assemblies.
─ Close off the ends of the deck panels and articulating assemblies by lacing 1/2-inch
tubular nylon webbing across the ends of the stack.
─ Bring cables up over load, route each end through the turnbuckle, secure each end with
two cable clamps, and tighten turnbuckle.
CAUTION
Do not over tighten the cables as damage to the load will occur.
─ Tie the two cables together with 1/2-inch tubular nylon webbing.
LTR superstructure (medium bundle):
─ Place two timbers on the ground as shoring approximately 6 feet apart.
─ Lay both cables on the ground parallel to and on the outside of the timbers.
─ Stack two parallel sets of deck panels, three panels high, with male ends facing in same
direction.
─ Place two end ramp panels, butt end to butt end, on top of each stack of deck panels.
─ Place deck filler panels between deck panels.
─ Close off ends of deck panels by lacing 1/2-inch tubular nylon webbing across ends of
stacks.
─ Place three normal curbs on each side of load, alternating short curbs in between the
normal curbs.
─ Bring cables up over load, route each end through turnbuckle, secure each end with two
cable clamps, and tighten turnbuckle.

─ Configure two light bundle stacks side-by-side and secure each end of the load with
cables.
Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 23-2.
Hookup. The hookup team stands on top of the pontoons, on top of the superstructure
bundles, or alongside the cargo net, depending on the load. 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.
