## Preface Scope

This manual is one of a series of manuals for aviation and ground personnel who perform helicopter sling load missions ashore or aboard ship.  Other manuals in this series are TM 4-48.09(TM 4-48.09)/MCRP 4-11.3E, VOL I/NWP 3-04.11/AFMAN (I) 11-223, VOL I/COMDTINST M13482.2B and TM 4-48.198 4- 20.198/MCRP 4-11.3E, VOL II/NWP 3-04.12/AFMAN (I) 11-223, VOL II/COMDTINST M13482.3B. These manuals are a coordinated effort of the United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Navy, United States Air Force, and United States Coast Guard.  All services participate in the sling load certification program begun by the Army in 1984.  These manuals include standardized rigging procedures and other information from that program.  Chapters 2 through 13 contain rigging procedures for dual-point loads which have been certified for sling load.  Chapter 14 contains rigging procedures which have not been certified but have demonstrated acceptable static lift and flight characteristics during a flight test.

Efforts were made to standardize ground crew and hookup procedures and terminology.  Where service-unique requirements apply to an entire chapter or body of text, the service initials are at the beginning of the chapter or text.  Otherwise the initials are at the end of the applicable sentence. Rigging equipment and procedures described in this manual may not be authorized for all aircraft or services because of equipment or service restrictions. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard (ARNG)/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.

## Chapter 1 Fundamental Principles Of Sling Load Introduction

1-1. This chapter contains general information about certification for helicopter sling load and explains the role of the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) sling load certification authority.  This authority rests with the US Army Natick Soldier Researchm Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC).  This chapter also explains the information contained in the equipment rigging procedures and gives some general rigging instructions.

## Classification Definitions Of Sling Load

1-2. All sling loads are classified under one of the following definitions:


Certified Sling Loads.  Certified sling loads are those items of equipment and their associated rigging procedures which have completed the evaluation and testing required by the US Army Natick Soldier Research Development, and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) for sling load certification.  These rigging procedures are in Chapters 2 through 13.  The following restrictions apply for dual-point sling load certification to remain in effect:
 The load must be within the lifting capability of the desired helicopter model and not
exceed the rated capacity of the sling set being used.
 The load shall be rigged in accordance with the certified dual-point rigging procedure.
Failure to rig the load exactly as directed by the certified dual-point rigging procedure creates a unique load.
 The maximum tested stable airspeed (straight and level flight determined during one flight
test) specified for the load in the applicability section of the rigging procedure or in appendix C of this manual is a recommendation and not a restriction, unless so stated.
 Changes or modifications to load characteristics (weight, model, national stock number
(NSN), accompanying load, structure of items etc.) creates a unique load.
 This certification does not apply to helicopters of different designations (for example, CH-
47 verses CH-53E helicopter) because of possible differences in hook spacing, dynamic
vibration, helicopter/load mass differential, and rotor wash pattern.

Suitable Sling Loads.  Suitable sling loads are those items of equipment and their associated
rigging procedures that have not been certified but have demonstrated acceptable static lift and
flight characteristics during a flight test.  In most cases these loads were not pull tested in accordance with MIL- STD-913, but are known loads which have been flown without incident
for years and which NSRDEC considers to be proven safe.  These rigging procedures are in Chapter 14.

Unique Sling Loads.  Unique loads are equipment carried on a one time or low-frequency basis,
such as telephone poles, artillery targets, or barrier material.  The lack of sling load certification in itself does not preclude a commander from carrying a unique load.  Due to the lack of rigging procedures, unique loads shall be considered high risk loads.  Only the most experienced
personnel should attempt to rig and inspect a unique load.  During execution, the pilot-incommand assumes complete responsibility for making the decision to complete or abort the mission with a unique load in all circumstances.  When possible, static lift the load prior to flight to determine weight, verify rigging procedures, and assess the balance of the load.  Each service is responsible for determining its policy on carrying unique loads.  The movement of unique loads shall be approved by the high risk approving authority (Operational Risk Management
(ORM) high risk authority for Navy/USMC).  (USA) The name and rank of the approving authority should be printed in the bottom right corner of the remarks block on DA Form 7382 (Sling Load Inspection Record).  (Navy/USMC) Where time is available, a waiver should be requested through the chain of command to the approving authority indicated in this publication. (Navy/USMC) If a wavier is not operationally feasible, pending testing and certification, such items may be lifted in support of operational requirements at the Commander's discretion.


Prohibited Sling Loads.  Prohibited sling loads are items of equipment that are prohibited from
sling loading as determined by each service.  These loads have been denied sling load
certification and are a safety hazard if carried.  They have either structural deficiencies or have exhibited unstable flight characteristics during flight testing.  Each service will identify these
loads and transmit this information by separate list. Contact your service point of contact identified in the Preface if you have any questions regarding the classification of a particular
load.

## Certification Of Equipment For Helicopter Sling Load

1-3. Certification for sling load assures the user that the item has met minimum standards.

Objective.  The objective of sling load certification is to assure the user that the equipment
being transported can withstand the stresses of a sling load flight environment.  Certification for sling load assures the user that the item has met minimum standards for structural integrity and that the associated rigging procedures have been developed specifically for that item.

Responsibilities.  Within the US Army, the SDDCTEA is responsible for transportability
approval of developmental equipment.  Within the DOD, NSRDEC is the lead activity responsible for providing sling load certification and rigging procedures for military equipment. When an item is certified for sling load, it means that NSRDEC, in cooperation with various test activities, has:
 Conducted an engineering analysis of the load and lifting provisions for structural
adequacy during sling loading.
 Verified that the lift provisions meet the strength requirements of the applicable military
standard by means of proof load testing.
 Developed and/or validated sling load rigging procedures through static lift testing.  Evaluated flight reports and determined that the particular load meets acceptable flight
characteristics with the type helicopter flown during the flight test.
 Issued a statement of sling load certification for the particular load, including load
configuration(s), weight(s), types of helicopter(s), and maximum tested stable airspeed (straight and level flight as attained during the one flight evaluation).  Certification is valid only for the conditions specified in the rigging procedures.

## Requests For Sling Load Certification

1-4. Each service headquarters must designate, request, and prioritize the fielded equipment to be evaluated by NSRDEC for sling load certification. Individual units can request sling load certification for fielded equipment through the appropriate service agency which will add the item to the prioritized list.
The NSRDEC will evaluate the equipment on a priority basis.  Dual-point loads cannot be certified for dual-point lift based on previously certified dual-point rigging procedures because of the difference in dual hook helicopters, such as the distance between the cargo hooks.  Rigging procedures for dual-point loads must be developed and/or approved by NSRDEC before the evaluation flight.  The following agencies are responsible for their branch of service:


US Army - Commander, Combined Arms Support Command, ATTN: QM Combat
Developments, Suite 250, 3901 A Avenue, Fort Lee, VA  23801-1809.

US Marine Corps - Commanding General, Marine Corps Systems Command (PSE) Quantico,
VA  22134-5021.

US Navy - Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).

US Air Force - US Air Force Material Command.

## Unique Items Of Equipment Or Operational Requirements

1-5. Helicopter sling loading of unique items, due to operational requirements, will be at the discretion of the commander.  Equipment not listed in this manual should be static lifted (when possible) by a crane to determine proper rigging and stability characteristics.  Personnel thoroughly familiar with sling load rigging procedures should assist in the static lift testing.  Flight evaluating may be conducted after a satisfactory static rigging configuration has been determined.

Note: Low density equipment with low weight and large surface area (flat surfaces), such as shelters, empty trailers, pallet loads, boat shaped items, and empty fuel or water drums, are likely to become extremely unstable when flown during sling load operations, even at low airspeeds, and should be flown with extreme caution.

## Equipment Rigging Procedures

1-6. This section explains the information that is contained in the rigging procedures for each load.
Chapters 2 through 13 contain the rigging procedures for certified dual-point loads and Chapter 14 contains the rigging procedures for suitable dual-point loads.


Applicability Paragraph.  The applicability paragraph states whether a load is "certified" or
"suitable" for sling load and the types of helicopters.  The maximum tested stable airspeed is
listed in Appendix C.  For certified loads, this airspeed is the maximum airspeed attained by the helicopter during the evaluation flight before the load became unstable or before the aircraft
power requirements were exceeded.  For suitable loads, the maximum recommended airspeed is based on previous experience with this helicopter/load combination.  For either certified or suitable loads, the airspeed listed is a recommendation and not a restriction, unless so
stated.  The aircrew should closely monitor the load during the flight, especially if the helicopter exceeds the recommended airspeed.

Load Description.  The load description paragraph identifies the load, model, national stock number (NSN) or other identification, and the weight of the load for certification.
 The actual weight of the equipment may vary somewhat from the actual rigged weight during the flight evaluation due to equipment modifications, fuel, equipment added to the load, or different models of the same item.  The load weight on the equipment data plate or in the operator's manual takes precedence over the load weight in this manual.  Weigh the load if there is any doubt about its actual weight.  If the load weight exceeds the weight listed in the load description paragraph, the load becomes a unique load.  Contact your service point of contact if you have any questions about the load description or weight.

 Equipment such as cargo trailers and cargo trucks contain descriptions of the allowable additional cargo weight.  Do not exceed the fully loaded weight.  Some trailers become extremely unstable at low weights; therefore, a minimum weight is identified.  If your trailer is below that weight, add more cargo or dummy weight as close to the center of the trailer as possible until you reach the minimum weight.


Preparation.  The preparation steps are intended to reduce the possibility of damage to the equipment caused by sling leg entanglement during the hookup and lift-off operation or by wind resistance encountered during the flight.  Since these preparation steps are not directive in
nature, the commander assumes responsibility for any damage to the equipment caused by deviation from the preparation steps.


Rigging.  The rigging steps give information as to the position of the apex fitting on the load, routing orientation of the sling legs, location of the lift provisions, chain link number for each
sling leg, and steps required to prevent the sling legs from becoming entangled on the load.  Do not change the chain link number in the rigging procedures under any circumstances as it may change sling leg loading and cause lift provision failure.
 The purpose of the illustration accompanying the rigging procedures is to depict what a properly rigged load looks like with the slack removed from the sling legs.  The arrow identifies the direction of flight.

 Appendix A contains NSN component listings for slings, sling sets, cargo nets, and other miscellaneous equipment and materials.


Hookup.  Certain sling loads, such as HMMWVs with shelters, present substantial risk of
damage to the load or injury to the hookup personnel.  This risk is increased during dual point hookup or night operations.
 To reduce the risk of damage to the load or injury to the hookup personnel an extended sling system or reach pendant as defined in TM 4-48.09 may be used.
 Using a reach pendant increases the distance between the load and the helicopter.  Reach pendants should not be used on loads that have a tendency to spin during flight.  A static discharge person is not required when using a reach pendant.

 If the tactical environment permits, the use of a longline sling set may reduce the risk.

## General Rigging Instructions Cautions

1.  Inspect lifting provisions and supporting structure for damage or degradation prior to sling loading.  Do not transport loads with damaged or degraded lift provisions. 2.  Do not mix different capacity reach pendants.  Use two 11,000-pound capacity or two 25,000-pound capacity reach pendants.

1-7. All dual-point loads have rigging instructions.

Preparing the Load.  Prepare the load to be transported by following the preparation and rigging instructions for each item.  Typical preparation instructions will provide information to
secure loose items, remove or secure canvas covers, and remove obstructions, such as antennas.
Place protective padding on windshields and other components that could be damaged by the metal parts of the sling set during hookup or release.  The load should be secure enough to
withstand winds in excess of 120 knots caused by the forward airspeed of the aircraft.  If possible, position the load in the takeoff direction so the pilot does not have to pick the load up and then turn the aircraft into the takeoff direction.

Preparing the Equipment.  Inspect and assemble the slings and miscellaneous equipment
required to prepare and rig the load.  Following the instructions in Chapter 6 of TM 4- 48.09/MCRP 4-11.3E, VOL I/NWP 3-04.11/AFMAN 11-223(I), VOL I/COMDTINST M13482.2B, add or remove sling legs, chains, or apex fittings as required.  Never exceed the capacity of the sling legs or apex fitting/web ring.  If you have a sling set with a higher capacity than the sling set prescribed, use the chain link conversion chart in Appendix B to determine the corresponding chain link for your sling set.

Positioning and Attaching the Sling Set.  Position the sling set near the load.  The sling legs for a typical load with four lifting points are routed as shown in Figure 1-1.
 Rigging a typical load with four lifting points is begun by connecting:
 Sling leg 1 to the left front lifting provision.
 Sling leg 2 to the right front lifting provision.
 Sling leg 3 to the left rear lifting provision.
 Sling leg 4 to the right rear lifting provision.
 If a six-leg sling set is required, the innermost sling legs, 5 and 6, are connected to the
left and right middle lift provisions.
Note.  Odd numbered sling legs go to the same side of the load.

 Following the equipment rigging procedures, loop the free end of the chain end through the lift provision and insert the specified chain link in the grabhook/grab link.  Tie or tape the excess chain end to prevent the unrestrained chain from damaging the load.  If necessary, wrap padding around the chain or rope assembly to prevent damage to the load or sling set.  If the procedures prescribe a spreader bar, install and pad it according to the rigging instructions.

 Breakaway safety ties are used to temporarily restrain the sling legs to keep them from becoming entangled on the load as the helicopter lifts the load.  These safety ties are made of Type I, 1/4-inch cotton webbing or duct tape.


Viewing the Load.  Left, right, front, and rear directions are designated from the driver's
perspective for vehicles and towed equipment.  Howitzer gun tubes are considered the front of the load.  The front or rear is identified on other items of equipment.  The sling leg numbering system prevents sling legs from crossing each other and causing damage to the sling legs or causing the load to twist in flight.  To improve flight stability, some loads are transported backwards.  Do not confuse the front of the load as it is carried with the end designated as the
front for rigging purposes.  The arrow shown in the illustration identifies the direction of flight.

## Chapter 2 Certified Dual-Point Rigging Procedures For Wheeled Vehicles

2-1. This chapter contains rigging procedures for dual-point wheeled vehicle loads 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 dual-point rigging procedures for wheeled vehicles are in this section.  Paragraphs 2-2 through 2-51 give detailed instructions for rigging loads.

Note**s:**  1.  Reach Pendants may be used on dual-point loads.  Place a reach pendant on each apex fitting.

Materials.  The following materials are required to rig this load:

 Sling set (see table) with one additional apex fitting or web ring for the sling set being
used.
 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.  Spreader bar assembly, NSN: 4910-01-313-8839 (component of vehicle).

Personnel.  Two persons can prepare and rig this load in 15 minutes.

Procedures.   The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Fold the mirrors forward in front of the windshield and tie together with Type III nylon
cord.  Tape the windshield in an X formation from corner to corner.
 Remove the spreader bar from under the right hand seat inside the ambulance.
 Secure all equipment inside the rear compartment with tape, nylon cord, and/or
lashings.  Close and secure the door.
 Secure all other equipment inside the vehicle with tape, nylon cord, and/or lashings.
Close and secure the doors.
 Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full.  Inspect fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
 Engage the vehicle parking brake.  Place the transmission in neutral.  Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.  Tie down the steering wheel using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
 Secure the Red Cross insignia covers in the closed position.
 Remove the keeper from the spreader bar and extend the bar so the holes line up.
Reinstall pin and engage keeper.  Use the sighting hole in the tube to assist in aligning holes for the pin.  See top view insert in Figure 2-1.
 Position the spreader bar across the rear end of the vehicle roof.  Attach the spreader
bar check cables to the eyebolts located on the aft exterior sidewall of the rear
compartment.  See rear view insert in Figure 2-1.
 Install lift provisions on the outer ends of the rear bumper by removing the tie-down
provisions located inboard of the bumper ends and installing them on the outer ends of
the rear bumper, if necessary.
 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 2-1.  **Hookup.**  The static wand person discharges the static electricity with the static wand.  The forward hookup person stands on the hood and places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook.  The aft hookup person stands on the roof and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup team then carefully dismounts the vehicle and 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.

1. Connect 2 sling legs to apex fitting number 1.  Position the apex fitting on top of the hood.
2. Loop the chain end of the sling legs through their respective lift provisions that protrudes through the
hood.  Place the correct link from Table 2-1 in the grab hook.
3. Connect 2 sling legs to apex fitting number 2.  Position the apex fitting on top of the rear
compartment.  Place the nylon rope of the sling legs in the guides on the ends of the spreader bar. Attach the spreader bar guide retainer pins and keepers.  Lay the spreader bar on the roof.  Ensure the
sling legs are in front of the check cable eyebolts.

Procedures.   The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 At each corner of the trailer, slide the lifting provisions out until they are completely
extended.  Do not lift the trailer unless the provisions are fully extended and secured in position.
 Remove the side and end panels.  Place two panels side by side on the trailer so that
the panel ends are approximately 10 inches from the front of the trailer.  Make sure the panels are positioned lengthwise on the trailer.  Place the remaining panels on top of
the respective panels on the trailer.
 Secure the panels on the trailer with the tie-down straps.  Attach the hook end of one
tie-down strap to a tie-down ring on the trailer bed beside the panels approximately 1 foot from the end of the panels.  Connect and tighten the ratchet end to a tie-down ring on the other side of the panels.  Secure loose end of strap.  Repeat with a second tiedown strap at the other end of the panels.
 To secure the panels lengthwise, route the hook end of one tie-down strap around the
vertical metal stiffeners on the top panel of the stack of panels on the left side of the trailer.  Attach the hook end to a tie-down ring on the front end of the trailer bed. Connect and tighten the ratchet end to a tie-down ring on the other end of the stack of panels.  Secure loose end of strap.  Repeat with a second tie-down strap on the other stack of panels.
 Tape or tie the intervehicular cable, hoses, and safety chains firmly to the top of the
drawbar with tape or Type III nylon cord.

Personnel.  Two persons can prepare and rig the M1037 HMMWV in 15 minutes.  Two persons can prepare and rig the generator set in 10 minutes.

Procedures.   Attach the generator set to the truck by placing the lunette on the pintle hook and
securing the latch.  Secure the safety chains, cables, and hoses.  Position the vehicle on level ground so both the truck and generator set are in a straight line.  The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Fold mirrors forward in front of the windshield and tie together with Type III nylon
cord.  Remove the doors and secure to the seats with Type III nylon cord.
 Ensure the shelter is secured to the vehicle using wire rope or tie-down straps.  Secure
all loose equipment inside the shelter with tape, Type III nylon cord, or tie-down
straps.  Close and secure the door.
 Secure all equipment and cargo inside the truck with tie-down straps, tape, or Type III
nylon cord.
 Ensure the fuel tanks are not over 3/4 full.  Inspect the fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
 Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
 Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.  Tie down the steering wheel, using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
 Install the lift provisions on the outer ends of the rear bumper by removing the tiedown
provisions located on the front bumper and installing on the outer ends of  the front bumper and installing on the outer ends of the rear bumper.
 Partially retract all landing legs and secure in position with Type III nylon cord.
 Retract the lunette leg and secure with Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all lids, doors, and caps with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Ensure the parking brake is set.
 Route the hook portion of a CGU-1/B tiedown strap through the left rear inboard
tiedown provision located near the pintle on the rear bumper of the truck and through the mounting bracket on the front of the trailer A-frame.  Connect the hook to the ratchet of the CGU-1/B.
 Repeat the above procedure on the right side of the load.
 Tighten both CGU-1/B tie-down straps at the same time.  Secure the excess strap and
safety the ratchet handles in the closed position with tape.

Personnel.  Two persons can prepare and rig the M1097 HMMWV in 15 minutes.  Two persons can prepare and rig the trailer in 15 minutes.

Procedures.   Attach the trailer to the truck by placing the lunette on the pintle hook and securing the latch.  Secure the safety chains, cables, and hoses.  Position the vehicle on level
ground so both the truck and trailer are in a straight line.  The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Fold the mirrors in and tie together with Type III nylon cord.  Remove the doors and
secure to the seats with Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all loose equipment inside the shelter with tape, Type III nylon cord, or tiedown
straps.
 Secure all equipment and cargo inside the truck with tiedown straps, tape, or Type III
nylon cord.
 Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full.  Inspect the fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
 Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
 Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.  Tie down the steering wheel, using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
 Install the lift provisions on the outer ends of the rear bumper by removing the tiedown
provisions located on the front bumper and installing on the outer ends of the rear bumper.
 Raise the landing leg and secure in position with safety pins and tape.
 Ensure the trailer hand brake is set.
 Secure the equipment, canvas, and bows in the bed of the trailer with tiedown straps.
Route the straps diagonally over the equipment from front to rear.
 Route the hook portion of a CGU-1/B tiedown strap through the left rear inboard
tiedown provision located near the pintle on the rear bumper of the truck and through the mounting bracket on the front of the trailer A-frame.  Connect the hook to the ratchet of the CGU-1/B.
 Repeat the above procedure on the right side of the load.
 Tighten both CGU-1/B tiedown straps at the same time.  Secure the excess strap and
safety the ratchet handles in the closed position with tape.  Tape the CGU-1/B tiedown strap every 24 inches to prevent flapping.
 Connect one additional chain length to each chain on each sling set with a coupling
link.
 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 5-13.  **Hookup.**  Two hookup persons are required for this load.  The forward hookup person stands on cab of the truck and places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the fender of the trailer and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup team then carefully dismounts the trailer and 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.

1. Position apex fitting on top of the truck.  Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the vehicle 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 that protrudes through the hood
from inboard to outboard. Place the correct link from Table 5-13 in the grab hook.  Repeat with sling leg 2 and the right front lift provision.  Secure excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
3. Loop the chain end of the sling legs through their respective lift provisions located on the outer ends of
the rear bumper.  Place the correct link from Table 5-13 in the grab hook.
4. Pad the chain where it contacts the shelter sides.
5. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the vehicle to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.
6. Position the apex fitting of sling set 2 on top of the trailer.  Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front
of the trailer and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear of the trailer.  Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of the load.

Personnel.  Two persons can prepare and rig the M1113 HMMWV in 15 minutes.  Two persons can prepare and rig the trailer set in 15 minutes.

Procedures.   Attach the trailer to the truck by placing the lunette on the pintle hook and securing the latch with tape or Type III nylon cord.  Secure the safety chains, cables, and hoses.
Position the vehicle on level ground so both the truck and trailer are in a straight line.  The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Fold mirrors inward and tie together with Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all equipment and cargo inside the truck and trailer with tiedown straps, tape, or
Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all loose equipment inside the shelter with tape, Type III nylon cord, or tiedown straps.  Close and secure the door.
 Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full.  Inspect the fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
 Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
 Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.  Tie down the steering wheel, using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
 Secure the generator release handle with Type III nylon cord.  Retract the lunette leg and secure with Type III nylon cord.
 Ensure all equipment in the trailer is secured with the supplied cargo net and  CGU-
1/B cargo tiedown straps or Type III nylon cord.
 Ensure the trailer parking brakes are set.
 Route the hook portion of a CGU-1/B tiedown strap through the left rear inboard
tiedown provision located near the pintle on the rear bumper of the truck and through the mounting bracket on the front of the trailer A-frame.  Connect the hook to the ratchet of the CGU-1/B.
 Repeat the above procedure on the right side of the load.
 Tighten both CGU-1/B tiedown straps at the same time.  Secure the excess strap and
safety the ratchet handles in the closed position with tape.

Procedures.   Attach the generator set to the truck by placing the lunette on the pintle hook and
securing the latch with tape or Type III nylon cord.  Secure the safety chains, cables, and hoses. Position the vehicle on level ground so both the truck and generator set are in a straight line.  Tie the front lift provisions on the trailer in the up position with Type I, 1/4-inch cotton webbing. The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Fold mirrors inward and tie together with Type III nylon cord.  Remove the doors and
secure to the seats with Type III nylon cord.  Tape the windshield with an X formation from corner to corner.
 Secure all loose equipment inside the shelter with tape, Type III nylon cord, or tiedown straps.  Close and secure the door.
 Secure all equipment and cargo inside the truck with tiedown straps, tape, or Type III
nylon cord.
 Ensure the fuel tanks are not over 3/4 full.  Inspect the fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
 Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
 Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.  Tie down the steering wheel, using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
 Install the lift provisions on the outer ends of the rear bumper by removing the tiedown
provisions located on the front bumper and installing them on the outer ends of the rear bumper.
 Tie the shelter's rear lift rings together with Type III nylon cord across the top of the
shelter.  The lift rings should be positioned facing the front of the vehicle.
 Partially retract all landing legs and secure in position with Type III nylon cord.  Retract the lunette leg and secure with Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all lids, doors, and caps with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Ensure the trailer parking brake is set.
 Route the hook portion of a CGU-1/B tiedown strap through the left rear inboard
tiedown provision located near the pintle on the rear bumper of the truck and through the left front lift provision of the trailer.  Connect the hook to the ratchet of the CGU- 1/B.
 Repeat the above procedure on the right side of the load.
 Tighten both CGU-1/B tie-down straps at the same time.  Secure the excess strap and
safety the ratchet handles in the closed position with tape.
Do not connect the CGU-1/B tiedown strap around the truck's rear axle or wheel.

 Connect one additional chain length to each chain on each sling set with a coupling
link.
 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 5-23.  **Hookup.**  Two hookup teams are required for this load.  The static wand person discharges the static electricity with the static wand.  The forward hookup person kneels on top of the shelter and places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the generator fender and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup team then carefully dismounts the vehicle and the trailer and 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.



1. Position apex fitting on top of the shelter.  Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the vehicle and
inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear.  Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of the load.

Procedures.   Attach the trailer to the truck by placing the lunette on the pintle hook and securing the latch with tape or Type III nylon cord.  Secure the safety chains, cables, and hoses.
Position the vehicle on level ground so both the truck and trailer are in a straight line.  The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Fold mirrors inward and tie together with Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all equipment and cargo inside the truck and trailer with tiedown straps, tape, or
Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all loose equipment inside the shelter with tape, Type III nylon cord, or tiedown
straps.  Close and secure the door.
 Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full.  Inspect the fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
 Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
 Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.  Tie down the steering wheel, using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
 Partially retract all landing legs and secure with Type III nylon cord.
 Retract the lunette leg and secure with Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all lids, doors, and caps with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Ensure the trailer parking brakes are set.
 Route the hook portion of a CGU-1/B tiedown strap through the left rear inboard
tiedown provision located near the pintle on the rear bumper of the truck and through the mounting bracket on the front of the trailer A-frame.  Connect the hook to the ratchet of the CGU-1/B.
 Repeat the above procedure on the right side of the load.
 Tighten both CGU-1/B tiedown straps at the same time.  Secure the excess strap and
safety the ratchet handles in the closed position with tape.
 Connect one additional chain length to each chain on each sling set with a coupling
link.
Do not connect the CGU-1/B tiedown strap around the truck's rear axle or wheel, or front lift provisions on the trailer.

 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 5-26.  **Hookup.**  Two hookup teams are required for this load.  The static wand person discharges the static electricity with the static wand.  The forward hookup person kneels on the top of the shelter and places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the generator fender and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup team then carefully dismounts the load and 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.

1. Position apex fitting on the roof of the shelter.  Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the
vehicle and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear.  Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of the load.

Webbing, cotton, 1/4-inch, 80-pound breaking strength.  Strap, cargo, tiedown, CGU-1/B (4 each).  Felt sheet, cattle hair, Type IV, 1/2-inch or suitable substitute.  Clevis assembly, Type V platform, NSN 1670-01-162-2372, (2 each).  Webbing, nylon, tubular, 1/2-inch, 1,000-pound breaking strength.

Personnel.  Two persons can prepare and rig the M1037/M1097 HMMWV in 15 minutes.  Two persons can prepare and rig the howitzer in 10 minutes.

Procedures.   Attach the howitzer to the truck by placing the lunette on the pintle hook and securing the latch with tape or Type III nylon cord.  Secure the safety chains.  Position the vehicle on level ground so both the truck and howitzer are in a straight line.  The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Fold mirrors inward and tie together with Type III nylon cord.  Remove the doors and
secure to the seats with Type III nylon cord.
 Secure all equipment and cargo inside the truck with tiedown straps, tape, or Type III
nylon cord.
 Ensure the fuel tank is not over 3/4 full.  Inspect the fuel tank cap, oil filler cap, and
battery caps for proper installation.
 Engage the vehicle parking brake and put the transmission in neutral.
 Ensure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead.  Tie down the steering wheel, using
the securing device attached under the dashboard.
 Place the howitzer in the folded-towed position.  Ensure the knock-off hub is in the
horizontal position.  Engage the right wheel parking brake (wheel with knock-off hub) only.
 Ensure the lunette is in the extended position.  Install the towing eye stop (C-clamp) on
the lunette and secure in position with its retaining pin.
 Secure the brake light cable to the trails with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Secure the sight cover to the dial sight with tape or Type III nylon.
 Secure the firing platform, hand spike, and jack to the trail assembly with Type III
nylon cord.
 If the detachable field spade is attached to the permanent spades, ensure the two
locking pins are installed and locked in place.  Route and tie a length of Type III nylon cord through the key ring of the safety cable and around the other end of the locking pin.
 Position a Type V platform clevis assembly in the tiedown provision located on the
outboard side of the truck frame above the left rear wheel.  Ensure the bolt end of the clevis is facing toward the howitzer.  Route the free end of one tiedown strap under the howitzer left trail, through the Type V platform clevis, and connect it to the hook on the ratchet.
 Route a second strap under and around the trail tube, aft (closer to the gun wheel hub),
of the triangular brace on the M119 trails, through the Type V platform clevis, and
connect it to the hook on the ratchet.
 Repeat the procedures in the previous two steps on the right side of the load.
 Position padding between the strap and the angled bracket (gusset) located forward of
the rear lift provision on the truck.
 Tighten all CGU-1/B tiedown straps at the same time.  Secure the excess strap and
safety the ratchet handles in the closed position with tape.
Do not attach the tiedown straps to the rear wheels.  The wheels may rotate in flight and the straps may become loose.


 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 5-29.  **Hookup.**  Two hookup teams are required for this load.  The static wand person discharges the static electricity with the static wand.  The forward hookup person stands in the bed of the vehicle and places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the firing platform of the howitzer and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup team then carefully dismounts the load and 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.

Note.  Advise the aircraft commander to release the sling set apex fitting on the side of the howitzer away from the gun sights to prevent damage.

 **Derigging.**  Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.



Note.  The sling set on the howitzer may use 3 or 4 sling legs.  If the fourth sling leg is used, it will be attached to the lunette with the same link count as sling leg 3.  Tape or tie sling legs 3 and 4 together at 2-3 foot intervals over the entire length of the sling legs.

1. Position apex fitting on top of the truck bed.  Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the vehicle
and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear.  Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of the load.

Ensure the connectors are properly secured.
 Ensure the modules are either completely full or empty and in one of the
configurations shown in the note after Table 9-2.
 Secure all hatches, hose valves, and loose equipment with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 9-2.
 **Hookup.**  Two hookup teams are required for this load.  The static discharge person discharges the static electricity.  The forward hookup person stands on top of the front module and places apex fitting 1 onto the forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person stands on the top of the rear module and places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup teams then carefully dismount the load and remain close to the load as the helicopter removes slack from the sling legs.  When successful hookup is assured, the hookup teams quickly exit the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.

 **Derigging.**  Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.

Note.  All sling sets use the same link count
1. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 1.  Position apex fitting number 1 on top of the front

Materials.  The following materials are required to rig this load:
 Sling set (10,000-pound capacity) with one additional apex fitting.  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.

Personnel.  Three persons can prepare and rig this load in 15 minutes.

Procedures.   The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Secure all loose equipment inside the shelter with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Close and secure all doors, vents, hatches, and caps with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Secure the Environmental Control Unit's cover with tape or Type III nylon cord.
Ensure the ECU frame mounting bolts are tight.
 Remove the SINGARS antennas and store and secure inside the shelter.
 Tie the front and aft lift provisions in the upright position.
 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 10-2.  **Hookup.**  Two hookup teams stand on the roof of the shelter.  The static discharge person
discharges the static electricity.  The forward hookup person places apex fitting 1 onto the
forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup teams then carefully dismount the load and remain close to the load as the helicopter removes slack from the sling legs.  When successful hookup is assured, the hookup teams quickly exit the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
Note.  Brief the helicopter crew to relax the sling leg tension and hover to the side of the load when releasing the apex fitting.

 **Derigging.**  Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.

Note.  The direction of flight is the front of the shelter as shown in the link count column of Table 10-2.

1. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 1.  Position apex fitting number 1 on top of the shelter.
2. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions located on the
front of the shelter.  Place the correct link from Table 10-2 in the grab hook.
3. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 2.  Position apex fitting number 2 on top of the door end.
4. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions located on the
rear of the shelter.  Place the correct link from Table 10-2 in the grab hook.
5. Raise the apex fittings above the shelter.  Cluster and tie or tape (breakaway technique) the sling legs
in each sling set together to prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

Materials.  The following materials are required to rig this load:
 Sling set (as listed in Table 10-3) with one additional apex fitting.


OR
 Sling set (15,000-pound capacity) (2 each).  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.  Webbing, nylon, tubular, 1/2-inch, 1000-pound breaking strength.

Personnel.  Two persons can prepare and rig this load in 15 minutes.

Procedures.   The following procedures apply to this load:
 **Preparation.**  Prepare the load using the following steps:
 Secure all loose equipment inside the shelter with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Close and secure all doors, vents, hatches, and caps with tape or Type III nylon cord.
 Secure the Environmental Control Unit's cover with tape or Type III nylon cord.
Ensure the ECU frame mounting bolts are tight.
 Secure any external hoses, cables, ladders, and power unit components with tape or
Type III nylon cord.
 Tie the front and aft lift provisions in the upright position.
 **Rigging.**  Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 10-3.  **Hookup.**  Two hookup teams stand on the roof of the shelter.  The static discharge person
discharges the static electricity.  The forward hookup person places apex fitting 1 onto the
forward cargo hook. The aft hookup person places apex fitting 2 onto the aft cargo hook.  The hookup teams then carefully dismount the load and remain close to the load as the helicopter removes slack from the sling legs.  When successful hookup is assured, the hookup teams quickly exit the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
Note.  Brief the helicopter crew to relax the sling leg tension and hover to the side of the load when releasing the apex fitting.

 **Derigging.**  Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.

Note.  The direction of flight is the front of the shelter as shown in the link count column of Table 10-3.

1. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 1.  Position apex fitting number 1 on top of the shelter.
2. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions located on the
shelter corners.  Place the correct link from Table 10-3 in the grab hook.
3. Place two sling legs on apex fitting number 2.  Position apex fitting number 2 on top of the shelter.
4. Loop the chain end of the left and right sling legs through their respective lift provisions located on the
shelter corners.  Place the correct link from Table 10-3 in the grab hook.  Secure the excess chain with
tape or Type III nylon cord.
5. Raise the apex fittings above the shelter.  Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) the sling legs in each
sling set together to prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.
