The following definitions apply to the symbols used throughout this
manual to draw the reader’s attention to safety instructions as well as other
important messages.
Section 4
Airworthiness Limitations
The Airworthiness Limitations section is FAA approved and specifies
inspections and other maintenance required under Secs. 43.16 and 91.403
of the Federal Aviation Regulations unless an alternative program has
been FAA approved.
No airworthiness limitations are associated with this type design change.
Section 5
Inspection and Overhaul Schedule
The scheduled inspection intervals noted below are maximums and are not to be
exceeded. If the 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.
5.1 Annual/100 Hour Inspection
Annually or 100 hours of external load operations, whichever comes
first, inspect the cargo hook suspension system per the following. Refer
also to CMM 122-017-00 for the cargo hook for additional procedures.
3. Swing the cargo hook and the suspension beam throughout their ranges of
motion to ensure the manual release cable and electrical harnesses have enough
slack and are not kinked or pinched in any possible cargo hook and beam
locations. The manual release cable and harnesses must not be the stops that
prevent the cargo hook or suspension beam from pivoting throughout the range
provided by their integrated stops.
4. Swing the cargo hook side to side and the suspension beam fore and aft and
ensure all pivot points rotate freely without binding.
5. Visually inspect for corrosion on the exterior of cargo hook, load cell and
suspension beam components.
6. Visually inspect for presence and security of fasteners and electrical
connections.
7. Visually inspect the external electrical wire harnesses for damage, chafing and
security.
9. Remove the manual release cover from the cargo hook and inspect the visible
section of the inner cable for kinks or frays.

12.3 Lubrication Information
Lubrication of Cargo Hook Suspension Assembly is required every 500 hours of
hook operation. To obtain maximum life under severe duty conditions such as
logging or seismic work, it is recommended to lubricate the suspension assembly
approximately every 250 hours.
Lubricate the suspension assembly at points noted in Figure 12.3.1 and Figure
12.3.2. Refer to Sections 25.16 and 25.17 for removal and re-installation
instructions for the cargo hook and suspension assembly. Recommended
lubricants are AeroShell 17, MIL-G-21164 or Mobilgrease 28, MIL-G-81322.

Listed below is the pin out for the cargo hook connector. The hook is
polarity sensitive due to an arc suppressing diode internally mounted.
25.2 Description
This ICA contains maintenance instructions for cargo hook kit P/N’s 200-328-00,
200-329-00, 200-329-10, 200-330-00, 200-331-00, and 200-331-01 on the Bell 407
model helicopter.
Kit P/N 200-328-00 is a fixed provisions kit which includes the internal electrical
release wiring harnesses, fixed manual release cable including the T-handle for
actuation, bulkhead fittings which support the cargo hook suspension, and
miscellaneous brackets and hardware for supporting these items. The primary kit
components are shown below.

25.15 Troubleshooting
Table 25.15.1 is provided with the intention of isolating the cause of malfunctions
within the system. Sections 25.16 and 25.17 include instructions for removing and
replacing defective components.
Table 25.15.1 Troubleshooting
MALFUNCTION PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
Cargo hook does not operate Defective internal mechanism. Remove and replace cargo hook (see sections
electrically or manually. 25.16 and 25.17) or repair per 122-017-00.

manual release operates switch or solenoid. note 1 below). If open indication is obtained,
normally. remove and replace cargo hook (see sections 25.16
and 25.17) or repair per CMM 122-017-00.
Check the aircraft circuit for opens and shorts by
using a multi-meter on the hook connector. When
the release switch is pressed 28V aircraft voltage
should be seen on the connector pins.
Cargo hook P/N 528-029-02 Release switch not held down Hold the release switch for a longer time. The

circuit) does not operate of approximately ½ second after which time the
electrically, manual release Open electrical circuit, faulty hook solenoid will activate repeatedly. If the
operates normally. wiring, circuit breaker, switch or release switch is not held down long enough the
solenoid. cargo hook’s solenoid will not activate.
Check the aircraft circuit for opens and shorts by
using a multi-meter on the hook connector. When
the release switch is pressed 28V aircraft voltage
should be present on the connector pins.
Check the aircraft connector polarity. The time
delay circuit is polarity sensitive and protected
against reverse polarity. +28V should be on pin B
and ground on pin A.
Check the power pins on the hook itself. A multi-
meter set to the kilo-ohms range should read
between 2-8Kohms. Some auto-ranging meters
will not read properly so be sure to try a manual
kilo-ohms range. If the meter reads open or short
there is a problem with the solenoid module itself
and the hook should be replaced or repaired per
CMM 122-017-00.
Cargo hook operates Defective manual release cable. Inspect manual release cable and cable connection
electrically, but not manually. Defective manual release to hook. Remove and replace cargo hook (see
system. Sections 25.16 and 25.17) or repair per CMM 122-
017-00.
Load beam fails to re-latch Defective latch mechanism. Remove and replace cargo hook (see sections
after being reset. 25.16 and 25.17) or repair per CMM 122-017-00.

console exceeds 20 lbs. and replace defective components per 25.16 and
25.17.
Notes:
1. Checking resistance at pins A and B.
Check for 3.0 to 4.0 ohms between pins A and B of electrical connector located on the cargo
hook (see below).

4. Adjusting dampening level:
With the Indicator powered up and in the Run Mode, press both buttons at the same
time to go to Setup. Scroll through the menu, using the Left button, until the word
DAMP is displayed. To look at or change the Dampening Level press the Right
button. The display should look like this:
Figure 25.15.5 Changing Dampening Level
The CAL and the DAMP legend is turned on and the previously set dampening level is
displayed. To return to Run without changing the current dampening level press both
the Right and Left buttons at the same time. To change the dampening number, use the
Left button to scroll the blinking digit to the desired number. Ten dampening levels
are available, from 0 through 9. At level 0 the display responds to the slightest change
in weight. However, if the load bounced even slightly, the display digits would
respond instantly, making the display look unstable. With a dampening level of 9, the
display would be stable under the most turbulent conditions, however, it would take
several seconds for the display to respond to a change in weight. The ideal dampening
level will depend on the flying conditions. A mid range setting of 5 or 6 is usually
adequate. After the selection has been made press both the Right and Left buttons at
the same time to return to Run.
