No. Required

Application

Wire rope, 3/8-inch. Locate as shown in figure 5-1. Form a complete loop through the trailer stake pocket

and one eye of the turnbuckle (item K). Form a complete loop through the tiedown point of the module and

the other eye of the turnbuckle. The ends of the wire rope must overlap at least 12 inches. The angle

between the tiedown and the trailer deck should be as near to 45 degrees as possible.

Clamps, 3/8-inch. Secure the ends of the wire rope at the overlap area with two clamps spaced 21/4 inches

apart, leaving a minimum of 6 inches from ends of rope. Place one additional clamp to secure thimble (item

J) and wire rope together at stake pocket (detail 2, fig 7-10).

Thimble, open-type, 3/8-inch. Place one at bottom of each stake pocket where wire rope passes through

(rig 711). Attach thimble to wire rope with one clamp (item H).

Turnbuckle, 5/8-inch eyes. Tighten turnbuckles until wire-rope loops are taut. Wire-turnbuckles to prevent

loosening during transit.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. The space between the trailer gooseneck and the bottom of the aft side decks may be used to transport

crated spare parts. If this is done, protect the underside of the aft side decks with Styrofoam Beadboard.

2. The space between the vehicle ramps on each side of the AMS module may be used to transport properly

secured loose items such as the cabin supports and the handrails. Protect all components with styrofoarn Beadboard.

3. The vehicle ramps are lashed to the AMS with a loop of nylon straps around the entire module. Another

nylon strap is paced across the top and secured to the AMS framework on both sides.

Application

Styrofoam Beadboard, 4-inch x 4- x 8-foot sheets, or 4-inch x 2- x 8-foot sheets. Distribute beneath the

sectionalized components to protect the hinge attachment points and to provide separation of the components

from the trailer deck. Position between stacked components to protect the hinge attachment points and to

provide separation between components. Arrange so that approximately 50 to 60 percent of all bottom surfaces

rest on the Styrofoam Beadboard.

Strapping boards, 1 x 4inch x cut to length. Position under the two steel straps (item C) that secure the bottom

nodule to the trailer, and under the steel strap that crosses over the ramp extensions.

Steel straps, 1 1/4- x .035-inch x cut-to-length. Position as shown in figure 5-2. Fabricate as in table 5-2, item

Pad, 1 1/4- x .035- x 18-inch steel strap. Position under and seal to item C at each trailer stake pocket (detail 3,

fig 7-10).

Seal, steel strapping. Required for joining stripping at each joint (detail 4, fig 7-10) and for securing each pad

(item D) to strap.

Wire rope, 3/8-inch. Locate as shown in figure 5-2. Form a complete loop through the trailer stake pocket and

one eye of the turnbuckle (item 1). Form a complete loop through the tiedown point of the module and the other

eye of the turnbuckle. The ends of the wire rope must overlap at least 12 inches. The angle between the

tiedown and the trailer deck should be as near to 45 degrees as possible (detail 2, fig 7-10).

Clamps, 3/8-inch. Secure the ends of the wire rope at the overlap area with two clamps spaced 21/4 inches

part, having a minimum of 6 inches from ends of rope. Place one additional clamp to secure thimble (item H)

and wire rope together at stake pocket (detail 2, fig 7-10).

Thimble, open-type, 3/g-inch. Place one at bottom of each stake pocket where wire rope passes through (fig 7-

11). Attach thimble to wire rope with one clamp (item G).

Turnbuckle, 5/8-inch eyes. Tighten turnbuckle until wire-rope loops are taut, wire-tie turnbuckle to prevent

loosening during transit.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. The trailer gooseneck may be used to transport crated spare parts.

2. The ladder landings may be placed on a piece of Styrofoam and lashed to the open deck area underneath the

propeller shaft nacelle.

Strapping boards, 1- x 4-inch x cut-to-length. Position under the three steel straps (item D) that secure the

bottom module to the trailer.

Plywood, -inch x 4- x &-foot. Used as strapping board and to unitize flexible trunks with load spreader pallets.

Steel straps, 1 -inch- x .035-inch x cut-to-length. Four strips used to unitize flexible trunks and load-spreader

pallets prior to loading on trailer. Position remainder of straps as shown in figure 5-3. Fabricate as in table 5-2,

item D.

Pad,1 1/4- x .035- x 18-inch steel strap. Position under and seal to item D at each stake pocket (detail 3, fig 7-

Seal, steel strapping. Required for joining strapping at each joint (detail 4, fig 7-10) and for -securing each pad

(item E) to strap.
