F-5. LOADING AND UNLOADING THE ATLAS ON BOARD A C-130 AIRCRAFT (CONT)

NOTE

The 463L pallet is compatible with the roller system of the C-130 aircraft.

(16.0) Place a wheel chock or other shoring material at rear of rear ramp of aircraft to temporarily support 463L pallet to

allow 10K forks to be withdrawn from under pallet.

(16)

With the rear ramp of the C-130 in horizontal position, place 463L pallet on rear ramp with the lateral (108 inch)

side perpendicular to aircraft.

(16.1) Partially withdraw 10K forks from under pallet to tapered portion of forks. Raise forks sufficiently to allow

removal of chock or shoring material. Remove chock or shoring material. Completely lower pallet to ramp and

completely withdraw 10K forks.

(17)

Remove support blocks from under heels of 6K fork tines.

(18)

Align the 10K carriage for positioning on the 463L pallet with the fork tines extending through the counterweight

crossmember and outside the 6K carriage fork tines.

(19)

(20)

Disconnect hydraulic couplings of the 10K carriage (Para 2-12).

(21)

(22)

Position 10K fork tines to extend past the edge of the 463L pallet by 2 inches (50.8 mm) and lower the 10K

carriage onto the shoring and 463L pallet.
