Rigging and operating procedures for use of the
winch in the cargo mode are as follows:
(1)
Using the hoist control switch on the cockpit
overhead panel or on the winch/hoist control grip reel
out the winch cable as required for rigging. As the cable
is being reeled out, a crewman should maintain tension
on the cable to avoid snarling and kinking. After the cable
is extended, the usable cable length will be checked to
ensure that the cable is free of any broken strands or
definite bends that may reduce the cable capability.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 3,000 pounds single line
pull. Overload will result in the winch over-
load switch actuating to stop the winch.
(2)
Remove the pulley from the pulley blocks by
removing the quick-release pins. Reeve the cable
through pulley as required to provide the required pull
and angle of entry (fig. 4-3-9 Sheet 1 of 2) for rigging
configurations for various loads. Install the pulley blocks
and secure them with the quick-release pins.
WARNING
The cable quick-disconnect cover guard
must be installed during all cargo opera-
tions. Otherwise, the hook assembly can
be inadvertently disconnected from the
winch cable which can result in serious
injury to personnel.
(3)
Attach the winch cable to the cable hook
assembly by depressing the lock rings on each end of the
quick-disconnect device, inserting the ball ends of the
winch and hook assembly cables into the quick-discon-
nect device and releasing the lock rings. Install the quick-
disconnect cover guard.
(4)
Attach the winch cable to the load.
WARNING
Personnel not required for the winching
operation must remain well clear of the
winch cable to prevent possible injury
should the cable break.
CAUTION
Slack must removed from the cable train
before applying the full load to the winch
system to prevent shock and overload of
the system.
(5)
Reel the cable in slowly until all the slack in
the cable is removed. Then winch the load into the cargo
compartment to the desired position.
WARNING
Chock vehicles and wheeled cargo before
disengaging cable hook. Injuries to per-
sonnel can result from uncontrolled roll-
ing of the load.
(6)
Reel out the cable slowly to provide slack in
the cable. The hook can either be left attached to the load
or disconnected. If the hook is disconnected, it should be
attached to a tiedown fitting to prevent in-flight vibrations
damage to the cargo floor.
f.
Rigging and operating procedures for use of the
winch in the rescue mode as follows:
NOTE
The cargo hook assembly must be removed
from the rescue hatch.
(1)
Using the hoist control switch on either the
cockpit overhead panel or on the winch/hoist control grip,
reel out the winch cable as required for rigging. As the
cable is being reeled out, a crewman should maintain
tension on the cable to avoid snarling and kinking. After
the cable is extended, the usable cable length will be
checked to ensure that the cable is free of broken strands
or definite bends that may reduce the cable capability.
