If the cargo hook 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. 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 fixed. Depressing the electrical release button continuously in excess of 20 seconds will cause the cargo hook release solenoid to overheat, possibly causing permanent damage. 2. Activate the hydraulic release system by pulling the release lever on the collective in the cockpit. The mechanism should operate smoothly and the cargo hook must release. Return the load beam to its closed and locked position by hand after release. Verify that the hook lock indicator on the side of the hook returns to the fully locked position. In the fully locked position the hook lock indicator should align with the lines on the cover (see Figure 5.1.1). If the hook does not release or re-latch, do not use the unit until the problem is resolved. Figure 5.1.1 Hook Lock Indicator Hook Lock Indicator ACCEPTABLE Hook Lock Indicator Instructions for Continued Airworthiness 123-029-00 05-00-00 Page 2 Revision 9 05/10/12 5.1 Cargo Hook Swing Suspension System Inspection continued 3. Swing the cargo hook and the suspension system throughout their full ranges of motion to ensure the hydraulic hose and electrical harnesses have enough slack and are not kinked or pinched in any possible hook and swing frame locations. The hose and harnesses must not be the stops that prevent the cargo hook or suspension from swinging freely in all directions. 4. Inspect all pivoting joints to ensure that they rotate freely. 5. Visually check for presence and security of fasteners and electrical connections and condition of suspension cables. 6. Visually check for fluid leaks in the hydraulic release system. Some seeping or dampness is acceptable, but if drips or areas cleaned by fluid leaking are present the hook must not be used until the condition is repaired. See troubleshooting section to determine the course of action. 7. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder with the collective against the lower stop. The Master Cylinder features a transparent lid through which the fluid level can be checked. Hydraulic fluid must be visible over the baffle surface (reference Figure 12.1.1). 8. Check the hydraulic release system for air by pulling the lever firmly until it bottoms out. Check the push rod position (see Figure 5.1.2). If some of the green ring on the push rod is visible, the system is adequately bled. If some of the green on the push rod is NOT visible with the lever completely pulled, the system has too much air in it and must be bled, see Section 12.2 for bleeding instructions. Figure 5.1.2 Checking System for Excess Air 9. Visually check for cracks in suspension frame. The frame tubes contain a corrosion preventative compound, which may leak out through a crack and also provide an indication. 10. Visually check shock cord assemblies for security of attachment and condition of cords. Lever Verify green ring on push rod is still visible Instructions for Continued Airworthiness 123-029-00 Revision 10 05-00-00 Page 3 05/27/14 5.1 Cargo Hook Swing Suspension System Inspection continued 11. Visually inspect for presence and security of fasteners. 12. Visually inspect the electrical harnesses and connectors for damage and security. 13. Visually inspect the hydraulic hose and its connection to the cargo hook for damage and security. 14. Visually inspect the cargo hook bumper for damage. 15. Visually inspect for cracks in suspension frame halves. Pay special attention to the areas around the welds. The frame tubes contain a corrosion preventative compound, which may leak out through a crack and also provide an indication. 16. Inspect suspension cables for broken strands. Pass a cloth over the cables. This will clean the cables for a visual inspection and detect broken wires if the cloth snags on the cable. Ten randomly distributed broken strands in one cable lay (one complete rotation around the wire) or five broken strands in one strand in cable lay are considered unacceptable. 17. Visually inspect the suspension cables for crushing, unstranding, kinking, loss of rope diameter in short lengths, unevenness of outer strands or other damage. Visually inspect for corrosion. 18. Visually inspect for security of C-39 indicator mounting. 19. Inspect fuel drain guard parts for corrosion, gouges, nicks, and dents. If depth of corrosion pits, gouges, nicks, or dents exceed .060”, remove and replace damaged part(s). 20. Inspect fuel drain guard for damage that causes lever to bind or rub. Remove and replace Guard if it is obstructing free operation of lever. 21. Inspect for fuel leakage. If leakage is noted, re-apply sealant to Retainer as described in Owner’s Manual. Refer to Airbus Helicopters maintenance instructions for other possible causes. 22. Inspect and maintain the fuel valve, lever and control cable per Airbus Helicopters maintenance documentation. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness 123-029-00 05-00-00 Page 4 Revision 10 05/27/14 5.1 Cargo Hook Swing Suspension System Inspection continued Every 5 years or 1000 hours of external load operations, whichever comes first, inspect the cargo hook and suspension per the following.

If any leakage is detected, the fluid level should be immediately checked. To check the fluid level: 1. Position the collective against the lower stop. 2. The Master Cylinder features a transparent lid through which the fluid level can be checked. Hydraulic fluid must be visible over the baffle surface (see Figure 12.1.1). 3. Remove lid and add MIL-PRF-87257 (optional: MIL-PRF-5606) hydraulic fluid as required until the baffle surface is partially or fully submerged. Figure 12.1.1 Checking Hydraulic Fluid Level Baffle surface Master Cylinder Reservoir If leakage is noted around any plumbing fittings, the fittings may be tightened until the leakage quits. If leakage is noted around the pistons in either the master or slave cylinders the leaking cylinder must be repaired. See the instructions for repair in this section.

The master cylinder must be disassembled, inspected and then re- assembled with new seals. Disassembly: 1. Remove snap ring. Use caution when removing snap ring since the piston is spring loaded against the washer and snap ring. The piston will pop out of the housing when the snap ring is removed. Use the lever to put pressure on the piston while removing snap ring. 2. Loosen the set screw and disconnect barrel nut on lever from the push rod. See Figure 12.1.2. 3. Remove the piston and spring. See Figure 12.1.3 for parts breakdown. 4. Inspect the master cylinder bore for scratches. If any scratches or gouges are visible in the bore, the master cylinder must be replaced. Re-assembly 1. If the bore condition is acceptable, replace the lip seal and O-ring on the piston assembly. Maintain orientation as shown in Figure 12.1.4. Stretch seals over piston into grooves. 2. To assemble the master cylinder, lubricate the piston seals and cylinder bore generously with hydraulic fluid. 3. Place the spring in the cylinder bore. 4. Pass the push rod through the washer. 5. Thread the push rod into the barrel nut until approximately 1/16” of thread is visible through the opposite side of the barrel nut. 6. Insert the small spring into the piston assembly and insert the piston assembly into the master cylinder bore using a firm rocking motion. 7. Use the lever to compress the spring and hold the piston in place. 8. Use snap ring pliers to install the snap ring. 9. Secure push rod threads by tightening set screw.

Disassembly: 1. Remove cap, piston, and seal (see Figure 12.1.5). 2. Inspect bore of slave cylinder for scratches or gouges. If any are present the assembly must be replaced. 3. Remove bushing in cap by pressing it out. 4. Remove quad ring (or cup seal) by stretching it over the piston. Re-assembly: 1. Press new bushing into cap. 2. Stretch new quad ring over piston into groove. 3. Clean and lubricate cylinder bore and piston seal with hydraulic fluid. 4. Insert piston into cylinder taking care not to damage edges of quad ring. 5. Screw on cap and torque to 50-60 inch pounds.

This process may also be accomplished after the system is installed. Filling and bleeding requires two persons, one to inject hydraulic fluid through the system and the other to observe the reservoir. Following is the procedure: 1. Obtain the hydraulic hook bleed kit, 212-014-02. This kit consists of 2 ounces of MIL-PRF-87257 fluid, a syringe, a female barb fitting, a length of PVC tubing, and a bleed adapter fitting. The bleed kit is included in new hydraulic hook kits. MIL-PRF-5606 fluid is also compatible with the hydraulic system and was formerly included with new cargo hook kits. It is interchangeable and miscible with MIL-PRF-87257 fluid. 2. If the system is already installed on the aircraft, place an absorbent towel under the master cylinder. If the master cylinder is not installed on the aircraft, lightly clamp the master cylinder in a vise to hold it in a vertical position and position the slave cylinder so that its level is below the level of the master cylinder. Use best shop practices to keep foreign material out of the hydraulic system. FOD will plug orifices, damage seals and/or scratch sealing surfaces necessitating system rebuild. Use only clean hydraulic fluid from sealed containers. 3. Connect the master cylinder assembly to the slave cylinder assembly if not already done. If filling or bleeding on the bench, as much as possible, arrange the hoses uncoiled, straight and running uphill. See Figure 12.2.1. Figure 12.2.1 Hose Arrangement Poor Hose Arrangement Good Hose Arrangement Instructions for Continued Airworthiness 123-029-00 12-00-00 Page 6 Revision 12 03/05/18 12.2 Bleeding Hydraulic System continued 4. Remove screws, reservoir lid, and baffle from the master cylinder reservoir as shown in Figure 12.2.2. Figure 12.2.2 Reservoir Disassembly Screw (2) Reservoir Lid Baffle 5. Remove the safety wire, screw, washers and thread-seal on the slave cylinder, see Figure 12.2.3. Figure 12.2.3 Screw and Stat-o-seal Removal 6. Fill a syringe with approximately 35 cc of hydraulic fluid. Screw the end of the syringe into the screw hole on the slave cylinder to create a tight seal. See Figure 12.2.4. 7. While observing the reservoir, slowly push on the syringe plunger to force fluid through the slave cylinder, hydraulic hose, and up to the master cylinder reservoir. There will be some resistance during filling—this is normal. Injecting the fluid into the system too rapidly may cause the fluid to spray up and out of the master cylinder reservoir. Wear safety glasses when observing fluid reservoir while filling. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness 123-029-00 Revision 12 12-00-00 Page 7 03/05/18 12.2 Bleeding Hydraulic System continued Figure 12.2.4 Injecting Hydraulic Fluid Bleed Adapter PVC tubing Female X Barb Fitting Syringe 8. Continue to force fluid into the master cylinder reservoir until the reservoir is approximately half full. If bleeding an already filled system, you may need to draw fluid from the master cylinder reservoir during this step to prevent overflow. 9. Remove the syringe from the screw hole. Re-install the Thread-Seal (P/N 510- 740-00), washers (P/N 510-209-00) and screw (P/N 510-694-00), see Figure 12.2.3. 10. Allow the system to rest for several minutes. This will allow any air to rise through the system. 11. Very slowly pull the release lever on the master cylinder and watch for bubbles. If bubbles are observed rising within the reservoir, continue to cycle the lever until there are no more. Actuating the lever releases trapped air in the system. Pull the lever very slowly! When the reservoir is not baffled and capped, a hard pull will cause fluid to erupt over the edge of the reservoir. 12. Check the system for air by actuating the lever firmly until it bottoms out. Check the push rod position (see Figure 12.2.5). If the green area on the push rod is visible, proceed to step 13. If the green on the push rod is not visible with the lever completely pulled, the system has too much air in it and needs further bleeding. To do this, repeat steps 5 – 11.

After the system is properly bled, verify that the reservoir is approximately half full of hydraulic fluid. Fluid should be visible above the baffle. 14. Re-install the baffle and the reservoir lid. 15. Check the system for proper operation. Fully actuate the release lever. The hook must open and the lever must have a firm feel. 16. At the slave cylinder, safety wire the three drilled head screws together using .025 safety wire per MS20995C, see Figure 12.2.6. Figure 12.2.6 Safety Wire Installation 17. Disassemble and thoroughly clean the syringe with isopropyl alcohol. Allow it to dry. Not cleaning the syringe will render it unusable. Reassemble and store for next use.
