B. The Cargo Hook System
The Cargo Hook System is designed to carry a rated load of 9,000 lb. (4,082 kg.) while
attached to the helicopter (Note: Compare cargo hook system versus the helicopter design
lift limitations). The CHS-9000-3 Cargo Hook System consists of a FE7590-173-1 Cargo
Hook Assembly (consisting of PN FE7590-173-2 Cargo Hook Assembly and CH-9016-1
Pressure Cartridge Assembly for initial shipping purposes only), CH-9020-1 Hook Support
Frame, and Y-1240-9-1 Load Indicator.
(1) Cargo Hook Assembly
The Cargo Hook Assembly consists of a load arm, which supports the load, with a keeper
to retain the load, refer to Figure 2. The keeper is redundantly secured, in the closed
position, by two springs, which prevent an inadvertent release of the load. The load arm is
attached to two (2) side plates, and is secured with a nut and bolt, about which the load
arm pivots when releasing the load. The side plates are bolted to two (2) Mount Support
Assemblies, located at the fore and aft ends of the Cargo Hook Assembly. These mount
support assemblies attach to bushings in the Hook Support Frame.

Revision B
FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CHS-9000-3 CARGO HOOK SYSTEM
(b) Lock
The lock holding the latch assembly closed can be opened in three ways. One way to
open the lock is by electrically energizing the rotary solenoid circuit, which rotates
the solenoid shaft, opening the lock. The switch to energize the solenoid is located in
the cockpit, and controlled by the pilot. The solenoid circuit is de-energized when
the lock rotates upward and actuates a limit switch, which opens the circuit. Another
way to open the lock is by manually turning the release handle, located on the Cargo
Hook Assembly, which is only accessible by personnel on the ground. A third way
to release the load is by electrically firing a pressure cartridge, installed in the Cargo
Hook Assembly, which is controlled by the pilot. When the cartridge is fired, a
piston is driven out against the lock to rotate the linkage opening the load arm.
(c) Electrical Interface
The solenoid and the switches are connected to the helicopter through an electrical
cable (supplied by Breeze-Eastern) mounted on the electrical housing of the Cargo
Hook Assembly. This cable interfaces with either a wiring harness (not supplied by
Breeze-Eastern), or is attached directly to a connector, on the helicopter.
The electrical connector for the pressure cartridge, located in the forward mounting
support assembly of the Cargo Hook Assembly, is connected to the helicopter with a
wiring harness (not supplied by Breeze-Eastern).
The load cell is connected to the helicopter through an electrical cable (supplied by
Breeze-Eastern), mounted on the aft mounting support assembly of the Cargo Hook
Assembly, which interfaces with either a wiring harness (not supplied by Breeze-
Eastern), or is connected directly to the helicopter, which interfaces with the Load
Indicator in the cockpit.
(d) Switches
A safety switch, included in the Cargo Hook Assembly (see the Section 201
Schematics and Wiring Diagrams in Figures 201 and 202), is actuated by a cam,
mounted on the solenoid shaft, and thereby interrupts power to the solenoid when the
lock is disengaged. This interruption of power prevents damage to the solenoid from
excessive current flow. Since the load arm is returned to its closed position
automatically after load release, the solenoid is again energized if the pilot’s push-
button switch is still closed. The solenoid will be energized, and de-energized,
repeatedly, as long as the push-button switch is held closed, resulting in the continuous
opening and closing of the internal mechanism and load arm of the Cargo Hook
Assembly. Without a safety switch in the solenoid circuit, the solenoid would be
energized continuously, rather than intermittently, as long as the push-button switch is
closed. The resultant continuous flow of current would damage the solenoid. Also,
included in this circuit is a diode to provide additional protection by increasing the
time to re-energize the solenoid, thereby slowing down the repeated opening and
closing of the internal mechanism and load arm in the Cargo Hook Assembly.

CHS-9000-3 CARGO HOOK SYSTEM
Also, a switch is included in the Cargo Hook Assembly to send a signal to the pilot
showing that the load arm is open. The cam on the solenoid shaft actuates the “Hook
Open” switch when the lock is disengaged from the latch assembly.
(e) Cartridge
WARNING: THE CARTRIDGE IS AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AND MUST BE SHIPPED,
STORED, AND HANDLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LOCAL
STANDARDS, AND REGULATORY PRACTICES.
WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE IN THE CARGO HOOK ASSEMBLY,
BE SURE THAT ALL ELECTRICAL ACTUATING CIRCUITS ARE OPEN.
WARNING: DO NOT PERFORM RESISTANCE CHECKS ON THE CARTRIDGE EITHER
PRIOR TO, OR AFTER, INSTALLATION IN THE CARGO HOOK ASSEMBLY.
NOTE: CARTRIDGE SERVICE LIFE IS 5 YEARS, STARTING WHEN INSTALLED ON
THE HELICOPTER. CARTRIDGE LIFE (COMBINED SHELF AND SERVICE
LIFE) IS 13 YEARS, STARTING FROM THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE,
WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE LOT NUMBER ON THE IDENTIFICATION
PLATE. THE LOT NUMBER STARTS WITH THE FIRST THREE LETTERS
“ESD,” FOLLOWED BY TWO DIGITS, IDENTIFYING THE YEAR OF
MANUFACTURE (EXAMPLE: 11 IS 2011), AND ONE LETTER, IDENTIFYING
THE MONTH OF MANUFACTURE, AS FOLLOWS:
A) JANUARY B) FEBRUARY C) MARCH D) APRIL
E) MAY F) JUNE G) JULY H) AUGUST
J) SEPTEMBER K) OCTOBER L) NOVEMBER M) DECEMBER
The Cargo Hook System is equipped with an emergency release, controlled by the
pilot, located internally to the Cargo Hook Assembly. It consists of an electrically
fired pressure cartridge (squib), a squib housing, and piston.
In an emergency, the pilot fires the squib extending a piston, which activates the hook
release (lock) mechanism. At 28 VDC, the minimum all-fire current of the cartridge is
5.0 amperes per bridge wire. The cartridge is contained in a pressure cartridge kit,
which is supplied separately, and can be installed at the flight line level after the cargo
hook is removed from the cargo hook support frame on the helicopter.
Never ship the cargo hook assembly PN FE7590-173-2 with the Pressure Cartridge
Assembly PN CH-9016-1 installed. When shipping the cargo hook to Breeze-Eastern
the Pressure Cartridge Assembly (Figure 1001, Item 12) shall be removed and
properly stored, or disposed of, by the operator in accordance with your local
regulatory authority laws and regulations. If the shipment to Breeze-Eastern contains
an explosive and the packaging does not meet US Department of Transportation /
International Air Transport Association regulations and standards, Breeze-Eastern is
required to report the situation. Additionally, you will be charged a minimum fee of
$500 USD for the proper disposal of the explosive

(2) Cargo Hook Support
New Cargo Hook Supports shipped directly from the Breeze-Eastern’s
Manufacturing Facility have forward flange retention screws (Refer to Figure 1003,
Item 30) and split bushing attach screws (Refer to Figure 1003, Item 60) with safety
wire attached, but not tied for installation purposes. Ensure screws are safety wired
after installation on the helicopter. See Figure 3.
The Cargo Hook Support is a rectangular aluminum frame consisting of forward and aft
flanges, and left and right side channels. The forward and aft flanges support the Cargo
Hook Assembly. The forward flange has an internal bushing to support the forward
mount of the Cargo Hook. It is designed to slide out of the frame to allow for cargo hook
mount installation. The aft flange incorporates a split bushing for ease of cargo hook
mount installation. The left and right side channels are bolted to the helicopter. Left and
right struts, between the left and right side channels and aft flange, have been added for
strength. The flanges, side channels, and struts are bolted together and safety wired for
redundant retention. On the right channel, a U-bolt is installed for securing the Cargo
Hook Assembly in the stowed position when not in use, refer to Figure 4.

throughout this manual, prior to, during, and after transport operations using this Cargo Hook
System.
A. Recommendation of Rigging Hardware
It is recommended that an Apex Fitting be utilized on the load arm in lieu of a primary ring(s),
due to the unavailability of the proper diameter load ring / load arm combination for this
cargo hook. Secondary members that attach to the Apex Fitting such as; sling legs, rings, etc.
is solely the responsibility of the helicopter rigger / operator. In all cases the operator is
responsible for the proper selection, and use, of hardware to attach the load to the cargo hook
assembly.
(1) Definitions
Definitions typically used in rigging loads to hooks are listed in Table 2 below.
Terms Description
Apex Fitting Pin A headed pin that extends through the two ends of
the apex fitting clevis and retained in place by a

(3) Assemble the Apex Fitting - Each Apex fitting consists of an aluminum clevis, aluminum
pin, aluminum spacer (hour glass), castellated nut, and cotter pin. Align the spacer
between the apex clevis holes and secure with pin through the center inside diameter.
Secure pin with a .375 inch (9.525 mm) bolt, self locking castellated / slotted nut, and
cotter pin. Refer to Figure 7.
(4) The Apex Fitting can be checked during preflight inspection on the ground by opening the
load arm and verifying that the Apex Fitting with a load of 25 lb. (11.4 kg.) drops free.
It is recommended that the operators rigging, which attaches to the Apex Fitting, be
checked on the ground prior to use to preclude the possibility of becoming tangled upon
helicopter lift-off resulting in a jammed condition. The load arm should then be
commanded open. If the rigging becomes jammed at all, and the Apex Fitting does not
drop free from the load arm, then it should not be used.

WARNING: THE HELICOPTER WILL BUILD UP STATIC ELECTRICITY. ENSURE THE
HELICOPTER HAS DISSIPATED THE STATIC ELECTRICITY VIA A STATIC
DISCHARGE (GROUNDING) WAND, OR EQUIVALENT, PRIOR TO
MANUALLY ATTACHING, OR DETACHING, LOADS TO THE CARGO HOOK
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN GROUND PERSONNEL
BEING THE ELECTRICAL GROUND, RESULTING IN INJURY, OR DEATH.
NOTE: WHEN ELECTRICALLY RELEASING THE LOAD ARM WITH NO LOAD, IT
MAY BE REQUIRED TO APPLY HAND PRESSURE TO THE LOAD ARM TO
OPEN IT.
(1) Normal Release
Load release can be initiated electrically in flight. A master switch in the cockpit must
first be closed, which provides power to the solenoid in the Cargo Hook Assembly. Then
the pilot presses a push-button switch to release the load. Only momentary push-button
switch operation is required. When the push-button switch is depressed, the solenoid is
energized in the Cargo Hook Assembly. When the solenoid is energized, the solenoid
shaft, on which the lock is mounted, rotates, and opens the lock. With the lock
disengaged, the latch assembly releases the latch arm. With the latch arm released, the
weight of the load causes the load arm to swing open, and the load slides off the load arm.
A spring in the Cargo Hook Assembly then positions the load arm back to its closed, and
latched, position after load release and release of the push-button switch.
(2) Emergency Release
Load release also can be initiated electrically in an emergency if normal release fails. An
explosive cartridge is actuated in the Cargo Hook Assembly when the pilot depresses a
guarded push-button switch in the cockpit. The energy from the cartridge forces a pin
down to disengage the lock. With the lock disengaged, the latch assembly releases the
latch arm. With the latch arm released, the weight of the load causes the load arm to swing
open, and the load will slide off the load arm.
(3) Manual Release
In addition, personnel on the ground can initiate load release manually. A hand actuated
release handle, external to the Cargo Hook Assembly, is connected to the lock. Rotating
the handle up disengages the lock. With the lock disengaged, the latch assembly releases
the latch arm. With the latch arm released, the weight of the load causes the load arm to
swing open, and the load will slide off the load arm.

FITS AND CLEARANCES
1. Table 801 identifies the allowable limits for close tolerance parts for the Cargo Hook System.
These limits are to be applied when any doubt exists concerning the serviceability of a part as a
result of visual inspection for wear, or from an improper fit during assembly and installation of
the hoist. When this condition exists the affected part(s) shall be dimensionally inspected in
accordance with Checks and Inspections Section 501. Replace parts that do not meet the limits,
and for which rework is not applicable.
2. The values given in the “Dimension Limits” column in Table 801 are the applicable minimum, or
maximum, permitted to ensure proper functioning for the components of the system. If parts fail
to meet these requirements, one, or more, of the parts must be replaced, unless rework of the part
is applicable. The dimensional limits should be used as a guide for assembling and installing
reworked parts.
3. The values shown in Table 801 are applicable to the components of the Cargo Hook System. See
