## Chapter 1 Introduction To Fuel Systems Rigging Description Of Items

1-1. This manual shows and tells how to rig the forward area refueling equipment (FARE), to include the rigging of hazardous material-gasoline, jet propulsion (JP) 4, and diesel fuel. The FARE is rigged with the following:


Trailers. M101, M101A1, 34-ton, two wheel trailers for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-
17 aircraft.

Two Fuel Drums. Two 500-gallons collapsible fuels drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130
and C-17 aircraft.

Seven Fuel Drums. Seven 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-
130 and C-17 aircraft.

Vehicle. M998, 1 1/4-ton truck high mobility multipurpose wheel vehicle for low-velocity
airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft.
 This manual shows and tells how to rig the 4-inch, 350 gallons per minute wheel-mounted pumping assembly, to include the rigging hazardous material-gasoline, JP4, and diesel fuel. The 4-inch, 350-gallons-per-minute wheelmounted pumping assembly is rigged with the following:


Pumps and Separators. Two 4-inch, 350-gallons-per-minute wheel-mounted pumping
assemblies and two separators are rigged for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft.

Three Fuel Drums. Three 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-
130 and C-17 aircraft.

Four Fuel Drums. Four 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130
and C-17 aircraft.

Five Fuel Drums. Five 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130
and C-17 aircraft.

Six Fuel Drums. Six 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and
C-17 aircraft.

This manual shows and tells how to rig the AAFARS, to include the rigging of hazardous material-gasoline, JP4, and diesel fuel. The AAFARS is rigged with the following:


Four Fuel Drums. Four 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft.

Five Fuel Drums. Five 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft.

Six Fuel Drums. Six 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft.

Seven Fuel Drums. Seven 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft.
 The following conditions must be met when rigging these loads:

There must be no more than 432 gallons of liquid in each drum when rigged for low-velocity airdrop. Do not pressurize drums with air.

Hazardous Material. When included as a part of these loads, fuel must be packaged, marked, and labeled as described in Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 24-204/Technical Manual (TM) 38-250/NAVSUP PUB505/MCO
P4030.19#/DLAI 4145.3/ DCMAD1, CH3.4 (HM24).

Weight. Each drum of fuel MUST be weighed to learn its exact weight, as the drum has no gauge to measure the liquid content. For computing liquid weight per US gallon, 6 pounds are used for gasoline, 6.4 pounds for JP4 fuel, 6.7 pounds for JP8 fuel, and 6.68 pounds for diesel fuel. When empty, the drum weighs 250 pounds.

Because the fuel drum is flexible, it will rebound upon ground impact and the lashings may be broken. This could free the drum and allow it to roll off the platform and create a possible hazard in the immediate area.

Manuals. A copy of this manual must be available to the joint airdrop inspectors during the before-and afterloading inspections.

## Notice Of Exception

The procedures in this manual for installing the Suspension Sling Safety Ties may differ from those in TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4- 11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5. An exception to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO- 010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5 is granted. The procedures in this manual MUST be followed.

The 500-gallon-capacity collapsible fabric fuel drums can be dropped with or without the 50-gallon-perminute pumping assembly or liquid fuel/separator (filter) in the following configurations:


Two to seven drums without a pumping assembly are rigged on a type V airdrop platform for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 or C-17 aircraft.

Three, six, or seven drums with a pumping assembly on a type V airdrop platform for lowvelocity airdrop from C-130 or C-17 aircraft.

## Special Considerations

1-2. Special considerations for this manual are given below.

There must be no more than 432 gallons of liquid in each drum when the drum is rigged for low-velocity airdrop.


These loads may contain hazardous materials-gasoline. JP-4 fuel or diesel fuel. Hazardous materials in these loads must be packaged, marked, and labeled in compliance with AFMAN 24-
204/TM 38-250/NAVSUP PUB505/MCO P4030.19H/DLAI 4145.3/ DCMAD1, CH3.4 (HM24).


Gasoline, Jp-4 fuel, or diesel fuel may be airdropped using these procedures. Each drum must be weighed to learn its exact weight. For computing liquid weight per US gallon, use 6 pounds for
gasoline, 6.6 pounds for JP-4 fuel, and 6.68 pounds for diesel fuel.

The drum is flexible, and will rebound on impact. The lashings may break and cause the drum to roll off the platform and create a possible hazard in the area.

A copy of this manual must be available to the joint airdrop inspectors during the before-and after-loading inspections.

## Warning

Do not add air to drums.  Changes in pressurization can cause leaking or bursting.  Failure to comply endangers mission and aircraft.

1.
Cut the bottom of the box from 34-inch plywood 41 12 inches long and 25 12-inches wide.  Nail
a 41 12-inch length of 2- by 4-inch lumber flat side down and flush along each lone edge of the bottom.  The top of the box is 43- by 27-inches.
2.
Cut the sides of the box from 34-inch plywood 41 12-inches long and 26 inches high.  Place the sides flush with the bottom.  Nail into the 2- by 4-inch pieces of lumber.
3.
Cut the ends of the box from 34-inch plywood 27 inches wide and 26 inches high.  Nail a piece of 2- by 4-inch lumber flat side down, centered, and flush with the top edge of each end piece. Nail the ends flush to the bottom and sides.  Nail the sides to the 2- by 4-inch pieces of lumber on the ends.
1
Place the pump, its hoses, a five gallon can of fuel, and any other items needed by the unit in the box.  Pad the items with cellulose wadding.  Nail the top to the box.
2
Place four D-rings onto a 15-foot lashing.  Place the lashing around the box lengthwise, and position two D-rings on each end of the box, six inches from each side.  Tighten the lashing.
3
Pass two 15-foot lashings around the box and through the D-rings as shown.  Tighten the lashings.

# Chapter 9 Rigging Seven Drums Without Pumping Assembly On A 28- Foot Platform

## Description Of Load

9-1. Seven drums are rigged on a 28-foot, type V platform filled with 432 gallons of gasoline, each drum weighs 2,842 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. An empty drum weighs 250 pounds.

Note. Fill drums with no more than 432 gallons fuel. If the drums are filled with a fuel other than gasoline, the drum weight must be computed.

## Preparing Platform

9-2. Prepare a 28-foot, type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspension links, and 50 clevises as shown in Figure 9-1.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.

           2. Measurements given in this section are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.

## Warning

Do not add air to drums. Pressurization changes will cause leaking or bursting.

## Steps:

1.
Inspect or assemble and inspect the platform as outline in TM 10-1670-268-20 & P/TO 13C7- 52-22.
2.
Install suspension links on each platform side rail using holes 23, 24, and 25, and holes 6, 7, and 8.
3.
Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
4.
Install suspension links on each platform side rail using holes 33, 34, 35, and holes 49, 50, and 51.
5.
Bolt clevises on bushings 1, 3, and 4 of each front tandem link, on bushing 2 and 4 of each second suspension link, on bushing 3 of each third suspension link and on bushings 2 and 4 of each rear suspension link.
6.
Install clevises on bushing 46 in an inverted position on each platform side rail. Bolt two additional clevises to each inverted clevis.
7.
Starting at the front of the platform install clevises on each platform side rail using he bushings bolted on holes 10, 13, 14, 16, 25, 28, 29, 31, 37, 40 41, 43, 46, 53, 54, 55, and 56.
8.
Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side 1 through 25, and those bolted to the left side 1A through 25A.
9.
Label the tiedown rings according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO- 010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.

## Preparing And Positioning Honeycomb Stacks

9-3. Prepare and position the honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 9-2.

Note:  All dimensions are in inches.

1
Use 18 pieces of 36- by 60-inch honeycomb and two 12- by 60-inch pieces of honeycomb to form a two-layer stack 336 inches long and 60 inches wide. Center the stack on the platform flush with the front edge.
Note. Place the 12-inch section inside the stack.

2
Make three 8-layer stacks of 60- by 30-inch honeycomb. Center a stack on the base layer 57 inches from the front edge of the base.
3
Center a second 8-layer stack of honeycomb 57 inches to the rear of the first.
4
Center the third 8-layer stack of honeycomb on the base layers 57 inches to the rear of the stack placed in step 3 above.

## Installing Lifting Slings And Positioning Drums

9-4. Lift the drums and position them on the honeycomb as shown in Figure 9-3.

1
Attach a 9-foot (2-loop), type XXVI nylon webbing sling to the upper shackle on each side of the drum with a platform clevis as shown in Figure 3-3.
2
Lift four drums onto the honeycomb base as shown.
3
Lash the shackles of the drums together on each side with 15-foot tiedown assemblies.
4
Glue a 60- by 34-inch piece of honeycomb centered on each stack. Glue a 60- by 36-inch piece of honeycomb centered over the pieces placed previously.
5
Lift and position a drum onto each stack.

## Lashing Drums

9-5. Use fifty 15-foot tiedown assemblies to lash the fuel drums to the platform as shown in Figure 9-4
and according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.

# Chapter 10 Rigging Seven Drums With Pumping Assembly On A 28- Foot Platform

## Description Of Load

10-1. Seven drums are rigged on a 28-foot, type V platform filled with 432 gallons of gasoline, each drum weighs 2,842 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. An empty drum weighs 250 pounds.

Note. Fill drums with no more than 432 gallons fuel. If the drums are filled with a fuel other than gasoline, the drum weight must be computed.

## Preparing Platform

10-2. Prepare a 28-foot, type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspension links, and 54 clevises as shown in Figure 10-1.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.
2. Measurements given in this section are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from
the front edge of the nose bumper.

## Warning

Do not add air to drums. Pressurization changes will cause leaking or bursting.

## Steps:

1.
Inspect or assemble and inspect the platform as outline in TM 10-1670-268-20 & P/TO 13C7- 52-22.
2.
Install suspension links on each platform side rail using holes 22, 23, and 24, and holes 6, 7, and 8.
3.
Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
4.
Install suspension links on each platform side rail using holes 33, 34, 35, and holes 49, 50, and 51.
5.
Bolt clevises on bushings 1, 3, and 4 of each front tandem link, on bushing 2 and 4 of each
second suspension link, on bushing 2 of each third suspension link and on bushings 2 and 4 of each rear suspension link.
6.
Install clevises on bushing 54 and 55 in an inverted position on each platform side rail. Bolt two additional clevises to each inverted clevis.
7.
Starting at the front of the platform install clevises on each platform side rail using he bushings bolted on holes 10, 14, 17, 18, 26, 30, 31, 37, 40 41, 42, 44, 46, 53, and 56.
8.
Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side 1 through 26, and those bolted to the left side 1A through 26A.
9.
Label the tiedown rings according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO- 010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.

## Preparing And Positioning Honeycomb Stacks

10-3. Prepare and position the honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 10-2.

Note:  All dimensions are in inches.

1
Use 18 pieces of 36- by 60-inch honeycomb and two 12- by 60-inch pieces of honeycomb
to form a two-layer stack 336 inches long and 60 inches wide. Center the stack on the platform flush with the front edge.
Note. Place the 12-inch section inside the stack.

2
Make two 8-layer stacks of 60- by 30-inch honeycomb. Center a stack on the base layer 57 inches from the front edge of the base.
3
Center the other 8-layer stack of honeycomb on the base layers 163 inches to the rear of the stack placed in step 2 above.


## Installing Lifting Slings And Positioning Drums

10-4. Lift the drums and position them on the honeycomb as shown in Figure 10-3.



1
Attach a 9-foot (2-loop), type XXVI nylon webbing sling to the upper shackle on each side of the drum with a platform clevis as shown in Figure 3-3.
2
Lift five drums onto the honeycomb base as shown.
3
Lash the shackles of the drums together on each side with 15-foot tiedown assemblies.
4
Glue a 60- by 34-inch piece of honeycomb centered on each stack. Glue a 60- by 36-inch piece of honeycomb centered over the pieces placed previously.
5
Lift and position a drum onto each stack.


## Lashing Drums

10-5. Use thirty-eight 15-foot tiedown assemblies to lash the fuel drums to the platform as shown in Figure
10-4 and according to TM 4-48.02/MCRP 4-11.3J/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.

# Rigging The Forward Area Refueling Equipment In An M101 Series Trailer

## Description Of Load

12-1. The FARE, weighing 860 pounds, is stowed as an accompanying load in the M101 OR M101A1, 34-
ton trailer.  This load is rigged for low-velocity airdrop on a 12-foot, type V platform.  One G-11 cargo parachute is used for this load.  The height of the trailer is 83 inches, reducible to 51 inches.  It is 71 inches wide and 147 inches long.  The trailer may have an additional 640 pounds stowed in it.

## Preparing Platform

12-2. Prepare a 12-foot type V airdrop platform using four tandem links and 18 tiedown clevises as shown in Figure 12-1.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.

2. Measurements are given in this section are from the front edge of the platform, NOT
from the front edge of the nose bumper.

## Steps:

1. Inspect or assemble and inspect the platform as outline in TM 10-1670-268-20 & P/TO 13C7-
52-22.
2. Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3. 3. Install a tandem link on the rear of each platform side rail using holes 22, 23, and 24. 4. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 1 and 2 on each front tandem link. 5. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install a tiedown clevis to the bushings bolted to
holes 10, 11, 15, and 18.
6. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2, 3, and 4 on each rear tandem link. 7. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side from 1 through
9 and those bolted to the left side from 1A through 9A.

## Building And Placing Honeycomb Stacks

# Rigging Forward Area Refueling Equipment With Seven 500-Gallon Fuel Drums On A 32-Foot Platform

## Description Of Load

14-1. Two containerized FARE and seven 500-gallon collapsible fuel drums are rigged on a 32-foot platform with six G-11 cargo parachutes.  Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of fuel.  Each containerized FARE weighs 1,230 pounds.  Each gasoline-filled 500 gallon fuel drum weighs 2,842 pounds and is approximately 53 inches in length.  The total weight of the seven gasoline-filled drums and the two containerized FARE is 22,354 pounds.

Note.  1. For drums filled with a liquid other than gasoline, use Table 11-1 to recomputed the
weight.
2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff curve, and
parachute requirements must be recomputed.
3. This load may not be rigged using water due to load weight requirements.  4. Do not
pressurize drums with air.

## Preparing Platform

14-2. Prepare a 32-foot airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspension brackets, and 82 tiedown clevises as shown in Figure 14-1.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.
2. Measurements are not given in this section are from the front edge of the platform,
NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.

## Clevises 38A Through 1A Steps:

1. Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform as outlined in TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO 13C7-
52-22.
2. 2. Install a suspension bracket using holes 6, 7, and 8; 26, 27, and 28; 37, 38, and 39; 57, 58,
and 59 on each platform side rail.
3. Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3. 4. Install a tiedown clevis bushings 1 and 2 on each tandem link. 5. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 1 and 3 on the first suspension bracket on each platform
side rail.
6. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 and 3 on the second suspension bracket on each
platform side rail.
7. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 and 3 on the third suspension bracket on each platform
side rail.
8. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 and 4 (doubled) on the fourth suspension bracket on
each platform side rail.
9. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install a tiedown clevis to the bushings bolted to
holes 4, 10, 11 (tripled), 12, 16, 19, 22, 23, 31, 34, 41, 42, 46, 48, 53, 54 (tripled), 55 (tripled), 56, 61 (tripled), 62, 63 (tripled), and 64.
10. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side from 1 through
38 and those bolted to the left side from 1A through 38A.

## Building And Positioning Honeycomb

14-3. Position the base layers of honeycomb on the platform as shown in Figure 14-2.  Build and position three honeycomb stacks on top of the base layers of honeycomb as shown in Figure 14-3.

Note.  Do not glue the stacks of honeycomb to the platform.


Note.  This drawing is not drawn to scale.

1
Center two 96- by 24-inch pieces of honeycomb 9 inches from the front edge of the platform.
2
Center two 60- by 36-inch pieces of honeycomb flush against those positioned in step 1.
3
Center sixteen 60- by 36-inch pieces of honeycomb (eight sets, two pieces each) on the platform.  Place the first set flush against the rear edge of the honeycomb positioned in step 2.  Place other sets flush against each previous set.
4
Center two 96- by 24-inch pieces of honeycomb flush against the rear of the honeycomb positioned in step 3.
Note.  All dimensions are in inches.

filter/separator (Figure 15-1) is rigged on a 16-foot type V platform for low-velocity airdrop with two G-11
cargo parachutes.  It consists of two pumps, each weighing 2,100 pounds and two filter/separators each
weighing 425 pounds.  It is approximately 76 34 inches in height, 108 inches in width, and 215 inches in
length with an overhang of 5 inches in the front and 18 inches in the rear.  The total rigged weight is 7,880
pounds.

## Preparing Platform

15-2. Prepare a 16-foot type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, four suspension brackets, and 16
tiedown clevises as shown in Figure 15-2.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.

2. Measurements are not given in this section are from the front edge of the platform,
NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.

## Steps:

1.
Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform as outlined in TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.
2.
Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
3.
Install suspension brackets to bushings 6, 7, and 8; 25, 26, and 27 on each platform side rail.
4.
Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 3 and 4 of each front suspension bracket.
5.
Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 and 4 of each rear suspension bracket.
6.
Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install a tiedown clevis to the bushings bolted to holes 16, 17, 18, and 32.
7.
Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side from 1 through 8 and those bolted to the left side from 1A through 8A.

## Preparing Honeycomb

15-3. Build honeycomb stacks as shown in Figures 15-3 through 15-6.

# Rigging 500-Gallon Drums, 350-Gallons-Per-Minute Petroleum Pump, Filter/Separator, And Hose Box

## Description Of Load

16-1. The three collapsible drums are rigged on a 24-foot platform with four G-11 cargo parachutes.  Each drum is filled with a maximum of 432 gallons of liquid.  When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter.  The 350-gasllons-per-minute pump with filter/separator and hose box are accompanying loads.  The total rigged load has a maximum rigged weight of 21,000 pounds with a width of 108 inches and a length of 324 inches.  It has an overhang of 18 inches in the front and 18 inches in the rear.

Note.  1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 11-1 to recomputed the
              weight. 2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff curve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed.  3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

## Preparing Platform

16-2. Prepare a 24-foot type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspension brackets, and 48
tiedown clevises as shown in Figure 16-1.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.

           2. Measurements are not given in this section are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.

## Clevises 24A Through 1A

Steps:
CLEVISES 24THROUGH 1

1. Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform as outlined in TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO
13C7-52-22.
2. Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3. 3. Install a suspension bracket to bushings 6, 7, and 8 on each platform side rail. 4. Install a suspension bracket to bushings 18, 19, and 20 on each platform side rail. 5. Install a suspension bracket to bushings 29, 30, and 31 on each platform side rail. 6. Install a suspension bracket to bushings 41, 42, and 43 on each platform side rail. 7. Install a tiedown clevis to bushing 4 of each tandem link. 8. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 1 and 4 of each first suspension bracket. 9. Install a double clevis to bushings 4 of the fourth suspension bracket. 10. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install a tiedown clevis to the bushings bolted to
holes 9, 10, 15 (triple), 16, 23, 24, 25, 26, 33, 34, 38, 39, 40, 44 (triple), 45, 46, and 48 (double).
11. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side from 1 through
24 and those bolted to the left side from 1A through 24A.
12. Number the clevis on bushing 48 as clevis 24 and 24A and the doubled clevis as 23 and 23A.

## Chapter 18 Rigging Five 500-Gallon Drums Description Of Load

18-1. The five collapsible fuel drums are rigged on a 32-foot, type V platform with six G-11 cargo parachutes.  Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid.  When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter.  The five drums have a 350-gallons-per-minute pump with a separator and hose box as an accompanying load.  The total rigged load has a maximum weight of 30,355 pounds with a width of 108 inches and length of 411 inches.  It has an overhang of 18 inches in the front and 18 inches in the rear.

Note.  1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 11-1 to recomputed the
weight.
2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff curve, and
parachute requirements must be recomputed.  3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

# Chapter 20 Rigging The Aafars With Three 500-Gallon Fuel Drums For Low-Velocity Airdrop On Type V Platform

## Description Of Load

20-1. The AAFARS is rigged on a 20-foot type V platform with four G-11 cargo parachutes.  The AAFARS is designed for forward area refueling of up to four aircraft at a time with a minimum of 55 gallons-per-minute.  There are three collapsible fuel drums as an accompanying load.  Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid.  When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. The total rigged length is 258 inches.  Width is 108 inches.  Height is 88 inches.  Center of balance is 121 inches.

Note.  1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 11-1 to recomputed the weight.

           2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff curve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed.  3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

## Preparing Platform

20-2. Prepare a 32-foor type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspension brackets and 72
tiedown clevises as shown in Figure 20-1.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.

           2. Measurements given in this section are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.

## Steps:

1.
Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform as outlined in TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO 13c7- 52-22.
2.
Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
3.
Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 5, 6, and 7.
4.
Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 17, 18, and 19.
5.
Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 22, 23, and 24.
6.
Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 34, 35, and 36.
7.
Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 1, (doubled), 3 and 4 on each front tandem link.
8.
Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 1, 3 (doubled) and 4 of each of the first suspension brackets.
9.
Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 and 3 of each of the second suspension brackets.
10. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 and 3 of each of the third suspension brackets.
11. Install a tiedown clevis to bushing 1 (doubled) of each of the fourth suspension brackets. 12. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install a tiedown clevis to the bushings bolted to
holes 8, 10, 11, 18, 29, 30, 32, 33, 37, (doubled), 38, (tripled), and 40 (doubled).
13. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side from 1 through
27 and those bolted to the left side from 1A through 27A.

## Preparing Honeycomb

20-3. Build honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 20-2.


Note.  1. All dimensions are in inches.

           2. Not drawn to scale.

# Rigging Aafars With Four 500-Gallon Fuel Drums For Low-Velocity Airdrop On Type V Platform

## Description Of Load

21-1. The AAFARS is rigged on a 20-foot type V platform with four G-11 cargo parachutes.  The AAFARS is designed for forward area refueling of up to four aircraft at a time with a minimum of 55 gallons-per-minute.  There are four collapsible fuel drums as an accompanying load.  Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid.  When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. The total rigged length is 258 inches.  Width is 108 inches.  Height is 88 inches.  Center of balance is 121 inches.

Note.  1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 11-1 to recomputed the weight.

2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff curve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed.  3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

# Rigging Aafars With Six 500-Gallon Fuel Drums For Low- Velocity Airdrop On Type V Platform

## Description Of Load

23-1. The AAFARS is rigged on a 24-foot type V platform with four G-11 cargo parachutes.  The AAFARS is designed for forward area refueling of up to four aircraft at a time with a minimum of 55 gallons-per-minute.  There are six collapsible fuel drums as an accompanying load.  Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid.  When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. The total rigged length is 402 inches.  Width is 108 inches.  Height is 94 inches.  Center of balance is 195 inches.

Note.  1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 11-1 to recomputed the weight.

           2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff curve, and parachute requirements must be recomputed.  3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

## Preparing Platform

23-2. Prepare a 32-foor type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspension brackets and 84
tiedown clevises as shown in Figure 23-1.

Note.  1. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.
           2. Measurements given in this section are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.



## Clevises 40A Through 1A Steps:

1. Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform as outlined in TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO 13c7-
52-22.
2. Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3. 3. Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 6, 7, and 8. 4. Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 26, 27, and 28. 5. Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 37, 38, and 39. 6. Install a suspension bracket to each platform side rail using holes 57, 58, and 59. 7. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 1, (doubled), 3 and 4 (doubled) on each front tandem link. 8. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 1 (doubled), 2 and 3 of each of the first suspension
brackets.
9. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 and 3 of each of the second suspension brackets. 10. Install a tiedown clevis to bushings 2 (doubled), 3 and 4 of each of the fourth suspension
brackets.
11. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install a tiedown clevis to the bushings bolted to
holes 9, 10, 17, 18, 20, 21, 29, 30, 32, 33 (tripled), 34, 41, 42 (tripled), 43, 49, 50, 55, 56 (doubled), 61, 63, 64 (doubled).
12. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises bolted to the right side from 1 through
40 and those bolted to the left side from 1A through 40A.

## Preparing Honeycomb

23-3. Build honeycomb stacks as shown in Figure 23-2.

The AAFARS is designed for forward area refueling of up to four aircraft at a time with a minimum of 55 gallons-per-minute.  There are seven collapsible fuel drums as an accompanying load.  Each drum is filled with 432 gallons of liquid.  When empty, each drum weighs 250 pounds and is 62 inches long and 53 inches in diameter. The total rigged length is 402 inches.  Width is 108 inches.  Height is 94 inches.  Center of balance is 195 inches.

Note.  1. For drums filled with a liquid other than water, use Table 11-1 to recomputed the weight.

2. If the load varies from the one shown, the weight, height, CB, tipoff curve, and parachute
requirements must be recomputed.
3. Do not pressurize drums with air.

## Preparing Platform

24-2. Prepare a 32-foor type V airdrop platform using two tandem links, eight suspension brackets and 84 tiedown clevises as shown in Figure 24-1.

## Appendix A Installing Suspension Sling Safety Ties

Installing the Suspension Sling Safety Ties keeps the suspension slings from making contact with the load.  The procedures in this Appendix are different from those in TM 4-48.02/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5.  An exception to TM 4-48.02/NAVSEA SS400-AB-MMO-010 REV 1/TO 13C7-1-5 is granted.  The procedures in this Appendix must be followed.  Safety tie the front and rear suspension slings according to instructions shown below.

1
Cut two lengths of 12 inch tubular nylon webbing making each long enough to reach from the left front suspension sling to the right front suspension sling, plus 8 feet.  Split the plies of the left front suspension sling.  Route two lengths of the 12 inch tubular webbing through the plies of the sling from inboard to outboard about 3 feet.
2
Route the 3 foot running end from outboard to inboard around the inside plies and around the outboard plies from inboard to outboard.  Tie it in place on the inboard side with three alternating half-hitches with an overhang knot in the running end.


3
Split the plies of the right front suspension sling and route the running ends of the two lengths of 12 inch tubular nylon webbing through the plies of the sling from inboard to outboard.  Pass enough of the webbing through the sling to take the slack out, but not enough to keep the slings from hanging in their natural position.
4
Route the running end from outboard to inboard around the inside plies and around the outboard plies from inboard to outboard.  Tie it in place on the inboard side with three alternating half-hitches with an overhand knot in the running end.
5
Tape the webbing to the slings with masking tape.
6
Repeat steps 1 through 5 on the rear suspension slings (not shown).
7
When using four loop, type XXVI suspension slings, wrap each four plies with a 10-by-10- inch piece of cotton muslin.  Secure each wrap with one single turn of 14 inch cotton webbing (not shown).
