The Dual Cargo Hook System includes: 1. A primary cargo hook and a secondary cargo hook to which a supplied Y- rope is connected to for carrying of HEC. These cargo hooks are Onboard Systems 528-028 series of cargo hooks with hydraulic release. Figure 2.1 Cargo Hook Overview Secondary Cargo Hook Y-rope Primary Cargo Hook Owner’s Manual Document Number 120-155-00 Revision 7 Date 11/10/26 Page 6 of 91 This document is proprietary to Onboard Systems Int’l. Disclosure or reproduction is not allowed. © 2026 Onboard Systems Int’l., all rights reserved. 2. Separate backup quick release sub-systems (BQRS) for the primary and secondary cargo hook. These systems are independently actuated by release levers installed on the cyclic (reference Figure 2.2) 3. A complete primary quick release sub-system (PQRS) for the secondary cargo hook including a release push button switch integrated into the secondary cargo hook release lever on the cyclic. 4. For the 407 model: a complete primary quick release sub-system (PQRS) for the primary cargo hook except for the release push button switch. The PQRS interfaces with the existing Bell cargo release switch integrated into the cyclic grip. For the 206L series models: the dual cargo hook system requires that the Bell fixed provisions including the primary cargo hook electrical release system is installed. Figure 2.2 Cargo Hook Controls Overview 5. Secondary Hardpoint. The secondary hardpoint is the internal structure installed in the foot well of the passenger seats; it provides the means to attach the secondary cargo hook to the aircraft. 6. Y-rope. The Y-rope is required as it provides a controlled interface between the two cargo hooks and the long line. 7. An optional Long Line Assembly designed to interface with the Y-rope and includes Lanyard Assemblies to connect to a personnel harness. secondary cargo hook's PQRS pushbutton switch primary cargo hook's BQRS lever Secondary cargo hook's BQRS lever primary cargo hook's PQRS pushbutton switch (existing TC switch) View Looking Aft and Inboard View Looking Forward and Outboard Owner’s Manual Document Number 120-155-00 Revision 7 Date 11/10/26 Page 7 of 91 This document is proprietary to Onboard Systems Int’l.

The Dual Cargo Hook System is broken down into several kit configurations to accommodate existing Onboard Systems cargo hook STC installations in the field, i.e. - if a cargo hook system is installed per Onboard Systems STC SR01943SE, most of this system can be used with an exception being the hydraulic release system must be replaced by the dual release system. The Onboard Systems trolley beam (per STC SR00898SE) and Bell’s TC trolley beam are not approved for use in the Dual Cargo Hook System. These installations must be upgraded to the fixed beam. An operator with a fixed beam with hydraulic hook per STC SR01943SE requires 200-459-00 or 200-459-01 Fixed Provisions, Secondary Hook (depending on LH or RH PIC) and 200-460-00 Removable Provisions, Secondary Hook. A Bell 407 operator with no cargo hook provisions would purchase a 200-456-00 (407 w/ LH PIC) or 200-456-01 (407 w/ RH PIC).

A complete hardware set is provided for routing both hoses to the connector bracket thus if an existing cargo hook is installed there will be extra hardware. Installation of the Dual Master Cylinder may result in a cyclic balance condition requiring adjustment with a modification using new parts when dual controls are utilized. The cyclic control balance should also be evaluated with the single control configuration. After completing the installation of the hydraulic release system and filling it with fluid, see Section 3.11. Install the Dual Master Cylinder per the following, referring to Figure 3.15. 1. If installed, remove the Master Cylinder used for the single cargo hook installation and its hydraulic line to the connector bracket on the belly. Retain the hardware as some of this can be re-used including the spacers and loop clamps along the belly. If installing the kit on a 206L series with an existing cargo hook installation remove the manual release cable from the center console down to the connector bracket. This instruction is also applicable to 407 models with an existing cargo hook installation with the cable style backup release. Cover the hole in the center console through which the T-handle was installed. 2. Remove the Clamp from the Dual Master Cylinder by removing the four screws that temporarily secured it. 3. Position the Dual Master Cylinder on the cyclic at approximate location shown below and re-install the four screws, tighten the screws just enough to hold the Dual Master Cylinder in position.

Check this position by actuating the levers and verifying they do not contact the cyclic grip when fully actuated and that they are comfortably reached from the cyclic grip. Adjust the position of the Dual Master Cylinder on the cyclic tube as necessary and then tighten the four screws to 20-30 in-lbs. and safety wire them together in pairs. 5. Each individual lever can also be adjusted by loosening its set screw and using a small flat screwdriver at the end of the Push Rod to turn it. Maintain full thread engagement on the Push Rod. Figure 3.15 Dual Master Cylinder Installation Install the Connector Bracket (P/N 235-293-00) on the belly per the following. 6. If installed, remove the connectors and existing connector bracket on the belly at FS115.00 that is used for the single cargo hook installation. 7. Install the supplied Connector Bracket on the belly of the helicopter using the two existing inserts located left of the centerline at FS 115.00 (ref. Figure 3.16). The inboard insert is located at LBL 9.50. Attach the bracket with screws (P/N 510-644-00) and washers (P/N 510-095-00). 8. As applicable, re-install the primary cargo hook release system and load weigh system electrical connectors (that were removed) into the new Connector Bracket.

Figure 3.17 Routing on Cyclic Figure 3.18 and Figure 3.19 below show an example of routing of the two hoses under the seat on a 206L model. Under the seat the routing may vary depending on equipment installed under the seat and on the exterior of the aircraft. Refer to the following general guidance and precautions when establishing the routing. o Verify the location where the hoses penetrate through to the outside to ensure there is clearance for the Doublers (P/Ns 235-294-00 and 235- 295-00) with any belly mounted equipment, inserts, doublers, etc. o Ensure the hoses do not restrict the movement of the cyclic, provide enough slack between the first support point aft of the cyclic and the clamps securing the hoses to the cyclic. o Ensure the hoses are secured clear of flight controls and are protected from chafing on wires, structure, adjacent equipment, etc. o Support the hoses with cushioned loop clamps every 12 to 16 inches. o Use existing inserts in the belly panel under the seat if possible or install new inserts provided.
