2. Activate the manual release system by pulling the T-handle in the cockpit.
The cargo hook must release. Reset the hook by hand after release. If the
hook does not release or re-latch, do not use the unit until the problem is
resolved.
3. Swing the cargo hook and the suspension system throughout their full
ranges of motion to ensure the manual and electrical release cables have
enough slack. The cables must not be the stops that prevent the cargo hook
or suspension from swinging freely in all directions.
4. Visually check for presence and security of fasteners and electrical
connections.
5. Visually check the suspension system structural components for cracks and
damage, paying close attention to the gimbal and load link (items 8 and 11
in Figure 5-1).

25.2 Description
The 200-265-00 Cargo Hook Swing Suspension Systems are composed of:
The cargo hook, which is mounted to the belly of the helicopter through a
gimbaled suspension utilizing an existing hard point. The 200-266-00
system incorporates a load cell as part of the suspension above the hook.
An electrical release system that provides a means for releasing a load by
pilot actuation of a push-button switch installed on the end of the cyclic
grip assembly or an optional switch on the side of the co-pilot’s seat. The
electrical release system is powered from the bus through a 10 amp circuit
breaker to a relay in the center tunnel. The switches control the relay and
energize the DC solenoid in the Cargo Hook, opening the hook and
releasing the cargo.
A manual release system, which provides a means of releasing a cargo
hook load in the event of an electrical release system failure. Pulling the
T-handle mounted to the cyclic control cover actuates it.
Ground personnel may also release a load by the actuation of a lever
located on the side of the cargo hook.
Package the unit in a suitable fiberboard box and cushion the unit to prevent
shifting. Seal the fiberboard box with tape and mark the box with the
contents and date of packaging.

1. Activate the electrical system and press the Cargo Hook release button
to ensure the cargo hook electrical release is operating correctly. The
mechanism should operate smoothly and the Cargo Hook must release.
Reset the hook by hand after the release. If the hook does not release
or relatch, do not use the unit until the difficulty is resolved.
2. Activate the release handle located between the seats to test the cargo
hook manual release mechanism. The mechanism should operate
smoothly and the Cargo Hook must release. Reset the hook by hand
after release. If the hook does not release or relatch do not use the unit
until the difficulty is resolved.
3. Swing the installed Cargo Hook to ensure that the manual release
cable assembly and the electrical release cable have enough slack to
allow full swing of the suspension assembly without straining or
damaging the cables. The cables must not be the stops that prevent the
Cargo Hook from swinging freely in all directions.
