Inspection and Overhaul Schedule
5.1 Cargo Hook Suspension System Daily Check

Failure to perform a complete pre-flight check of


the system, especially when used to transport
fertilizer spreaders, may result in sudden failure of
the Cargo Suspension System.
Prior to a flight involving external load operations perform the following:
1. Activate the electrical system and press the Cargo Release button to ensure
the cargo hook electrical release system is operating correctly. 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.

Depressing the electrical release switch


continuously in excess of 20 seconds will cause the
cargo hook release solenoid to overheat, possibly
causing permanent damage.

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).

5.2 Cargo Hook Suspension System Inspection Schedule


The scheduled inspection intervals noted below are maximums and are not to be
exceeded. If the cargo hook suspension system is subjected to unusual
circumstances, extreme environmental conditions, etc., it is the responsibility of
the operator to perform the inspections more frequently to ensure proper
operation.

Annually or 100 hours of external load operations, whichever comes first,


inspect the cargo hook and suspension per the following.
1. Visually inspect for corrosion on the exterior of cargo hook and
suspension system components (refer to Table 5-2 for limits for
suspension components). Corrosion on the cargo hook side plates is
cause for immediate overhaul. Additionally, any exfoliation corrosion in
the upper attach lug area of the cargo hook is cause for immediate
replacement of the side plate. Contact Onboard Systems for the latest
revision of the cargo hook service manual.
2. Move the cargo hook and the suspension system throughout their full
ranges of motion and observe the manual and electrical release cables to
ensure that they have enough slack. The cables must not be the stops
that prevent the cargo hook or suspension from moving freely in all
directions.
3. Visually inspect for presence and security of fasteners and electrical
connections.
4. Visually inspect the electrical wire harnesses for damage and security.
5. Visually inspect the manual release cable for damage and security.
6. Visually inspect 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).

5.2 Cargo Hook Suspension System Inspection Schedule continued

Specific maintenance restrictions apply to the


Cargo Suspension System when used to transport
fertilizer spreaders or loads with similar rotating
tendency. See this section for specific time-
between-overhaul requirements.

Every 1000 hours of external load operations or 5 years**, whichever


comes first, remove the suspension system from the helicopter, and
disassemble per the following instructions and inspect. Refer to Figure
5-1 for part identification. Refer to section 5.3 for the overhaul schedule
for the cargo hook.

**The overhaul interval shall be no more then 100


hours of external load operation if the Cargo
Suspension System has ever been used with
fertilizer spreaders or loads with similar rotating
tendency.
1. Remove cotter pin (item 5).
2. Remove Link Assembly (items 9, 10, and 11) from the Gimbal
Assembly by removing hardware (items 3, 4, and 7).
3. Remove the Gimbal Assembly (items 6 and 8) from the Pillow Block
(item 1) by removing Roller Pin (item 2).
4. Press out bushings (items 6, 9, and 10).

Un-commanded cargo hook release will happen if


the manual and electrical release cables are
improperly restrained. The cables must not be the
stops that prevent the Cargo Hook from swinging
freely in all directions. If the Cargo Hook loads
cause the hook to strain against the manual
release cable the swaged end of the cable may
separate allowing the inner cable to activate the
cargo hook manual release mechanism. The result
is an un-commanded release. Ensure that no
combination of cyclic stick or Cargo Hook
position is restrained by the manual or electrical
release cables.

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.

25.12 Storage Instructions


Clean the exterior Cargo Hook components thoroughly of excess dirt and
grease with a rag before packaging. Pack the unit in a heat-sealable
package. If the unit is to be stored for long periods in a tropical climate it
should be packed in a reliable manner to suit local conditions.

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.

25.18 General Procedural Instructions-Testing


Daily, prior to each cargo hook use, and after installation, perform the
following:

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.

The release solenoid is intended to be energized


only intermittently. Depressing the electrical
release button continuously in excess of 20
seconds will cause the release solenoid to
overheat, possibly causing permanent damage.

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.
