TM 1-1520-240-106-6-256-6-62. Load Dumping From Ramp.CAUTIONDamage to the helicopter or load couldoccur when load dumping from the ramp.Make sure taxi surface is level and free ofobstacles.Dumping from the ramp is not a routine operation, butunder urgent conditions can be accomplished as follows:a.Helicopter at full stop.b.Remove ramp extensions and rollers if installed.c.Load released, but under control and moved toaft cabin ramp with ramp slightly in up position.WARNINGCrew members must remain clear of load.d.Helicopter taxis forward at approximately 5 knotsground speed. When 5 knots is reached, the ramp shouldbe lowered and load pushed out the ramp of the helicop-ter.e.Repeat as required.6-6-63. Extended Range Fuel System (ERFS), ERFSII and FARE Kit Weight and Balance Data.Refer to figure 6-1-1, table 6-6-3 and 6-6-2.The operator, upon configuration of ERFS II and FAREkit, must compute various fuel amounts to calculate com-binations of weight and balance matching the missionrequirements. Table 6-6-1 lists the weights, ARM andmoments of ERFS II and FARE kit installations.WARNINGSome combinations of ERFS II configura-tion and auxiliary fuel load will cause thehelicopter to exceed weight and balancelimits. It is the responsibility of the flightcrew to ensure the helicopter center ofgravity remains within operating limits attake-off and landing.Standard configuration for the ERFS II consists of threetank assemblies, fuel transfer hose assembly, fuel con-trol panel, restraint system, FARE kit, and unusable fuel,with Tank 1 C.G. at 250 inches, Tank 2 C.G. at 330 inch-es, Tank 3 C.G. at 410 inches, and FARE kit C.G. at 464inches.6-6-64. Restraint System Limits.The limitations of the restraint system are 8 G’s forward.3 G’s aft, 8 G’s vertical, and 8 G’s lateral, measured witheach tank one half full of fuel.6-6-65. Breaking Loads of Self Sealing BreakawayValves.The breaking loads of the self sealing breakaway valvesutilized in the ERFS II fuel and vent assemblies are:moment bending 750 lbs ("150 lbs) at 7 inches, andtension 4,300 lbs.Table 6-6-1.
