TM 5-3810-302-10
Prepare the SCAMP for transport as follows:
Retract the boom and lower it over the front.
1.
Install the turntable lock pin.
2.
3.
Secure hook block in the front pintle hook.
Back the SCAMP aboard the C-130 and C-141 aircraft to avoid contact
4.
with the boom point and the plane's cargo bay overhead. The SCAMP maybe
driven forward up the C-5A's ramp without danger of damaging the aircraft
with the boom point.
Tie-down the SCAMP using the four lugs, front and rear. The 3-inch
5.
diameter lugs should be used for vehicle tie-down.
TRANSPORT BY HELICOPTER.
Retract the boom and lower it over the front.
1.
Install the turntable lock pin.
2.
Secure the hook block in the front pintle hook.
3.
Ensure that outrigger arms are in the full up position.
4.
The slinging eyes at the ends of the outrigger arms should be used for
5.
exterior air lift by helicopter. Figure 5-3 illustrates the four-fall sling
geometry used for CH-54 air lift testing with SCAMP. This slinging
arrangement allows for a nose-down attitude of the vehicle in flight, which
tends to stabilize it from rotating under the helicopter.
MARINE TRANSPORT.
For loading aboard ship, the crane may be slung in a horizontal attitude from
the eyes on the ends of the outrigger arms. Seethe four-fall sling geometry,
figure 5-3, which places the apex directly over the crane center of
gravity. If
provisions exist, the crane may be driven aboard ship in a forward direction
or backed. Once aboard, efficient stowage is enhanced by the ability of the
crane to crab into tight quarters. Finally, tie-down the machines required
using the 3 inch diameter holes in the four lugs provided.
