CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the main rotor system
assembly fixed length tie-downs must be secured with
approximately 18 inches of slack in the lines.
(16) Leaving approximately 18 inches of slack, secure the fixed-length tie-down to the appropriate area of
the airframe.
(17) Repeat steps (1) through (16) for the other rotor blade.
CAUTION
To prevent rotor mast damage if hub moment springs are
not installed, the UH-1 square wedge assembly must be
installed.
f.
If damaged helicopter does not have hub moment springs installed, install the UH-1 square wedge assembly
(6) in accordance with Figure 1, View A location, and Figure 3, as follows:
Figure 3. UH-1 Square Wedge Assembly
NOTE
When installing wedge assembly it may be necessary to
slightly rock blades using fixed length tie-downs attached to
blade sleeve assemblies to place wedge assembly in correct
location.
(1) Place the two rubber blocks from the square wedge assembly against the main rotor mast near the
bottom of the main rotor hub assembly, with the recessed cutouts in the blocks facing away from the
main rotor mast.
(2) Carefully slide the two rubber blocks up into the gap between the main rotor hub and the main rotor
mast.
(3) Verify that the stops on the main rotor hub full contact the rubber blocks of the square wedge
assembly and that the stops are within the recessed cutouts in the rubber blocks.
(4) Loop the lanyard attached to the rubber blocks around the main rotor hub and secure the snap onto
the other rubber block. The lanyard is designed to prevent the square wedge assembly from sliding
down and exposing the main rotor assembly.
