FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
The main power requirement for the Rescue Hoist System is 28 VDC, 96 Amperes. The
power required for the controls in the Pendant Control and Grip Assembly, and the cable
cutter for the Rescue Hoist Assembly, is 28 VDC, 5 Amperes. The power supplied by the
helicopter is converted into the power required for the Rescue Hoist System by the Variable
Speed Controller. This Variable Speed Controller provides the necessary power to the electric
motor to drive the drum on the Rescue Hoist Assembly.
E. Rescue Hoist Assembly
The hoist contains a rotating drum, which is driven by an electric motor through a gear train
and brake assembly, raising and lowering a 164 ft. (50.0 m) wire rope cable and swivel hook
(see Figure 2). The hoist operates at variable speeds from 0 to 210 fpm (1.07 mps). A level
wind mechanism on the hoist ensures even wrapping of the cable on the drum. Redundant
intermediate (slow) speed limit switches sense when the cable approaches the full in, or full out
position, and actuate to slow the speed of the hoist. When the cable reaches these positions,
redundant full in, or full out, limit switches actuate, and the hoist stops. The drum assembly
incorporates an improved means of anchoring the cable to the drum. The drum flange utilizes a
radial slot into which the formed end of the cable is inserted. The cable is held in the drum
flange by a setscrew.

Figure 2. Rescue Hoist Assembly (Typical)


The drum is driven by a DC motor, powered by the Variable Speed Controller, as commanded
from the pilot control (not supplied with Rescue Hoist System), or the Pendant Control and
Grip Assembly. The DC motor drives the drum through reduction gearing and a brake
assembly. The reduction gearing is of a planetary type, which directly drives the drum, and a
Geneva wheel to drive the level wind shaft and cable guide in synchronization. A Weston

25-61-00
Page 3
September 19, 2008
FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
brake is also incorporated into the inner diameter of the drum. When power is removed, or
operation is stopped, the brake is applied to hold the load. The brake consists of clutch disk
pack assembly, and a sprag clutch assembly. The hoist also incorporates an oil sight gage
allowing for a visual reference for servicing of the drum assembly.
F. Wire Rope Cable
The load cable for the Rescue Hoist Assembly consists of a wire rope with a swaged stainless
steel ball / shank fitting per MS20664. The wire rope is a 0.156 inch (3.97 mm) diameter,
corrosion resistant, preformed spin resistant type. It is proof tested in accordance with
MIL-C-5688. During its fabrication, an inert gas shielded electric arc process cuts off the drum
end of the load cable, such that the cable end is sealed, and made suitable for attachment at the
drum anchor point.
G. Hook Assemblies
There are three hook assemblies associated with the HS-29700-200 Series Rescue Hoist
Systems. The HK-111-1 Hook Assembly is standard for the HS-29700-201 and -204 Rescue
Hoist Systems, the HK-116-7 Hook Assembly is standard for the HS-29700-216, and the
BL-5740-14 Hook Assembly is standard for all other HS-29700-200 Rescue Hoist Systems.
H. Tension Roller
To provide tension to the wire rope cable while reeling onto the drum, or reeling off of the
drum, the Rescue Hoist Assembly utilizes a tension roller located in the cable guide. The
tension roller is driven by a shaft, which passes through the tension roller and spans the end
flanges of the hoist. A gear and clutch assembly, which is driven by the drum gear, drives this
shaft, and is located in the motor end flange. The gear and clutch assembly allows the
tangential speed of the tension roller to be faster than the tangential speed of the drum when
reeling out, thereby maintaining a “pull” force on the cable, even at no load. A drag clutch,
consisting of a grooved nut, a flat washer, a spring washer, and a friction disc, is located on the
limit switch end of the shaft. The drag clutch allows the tangential speed of the tension roller to
be slower than the tangential speed of the drum when reeling in, thereby maintaining a “pull”
force on the cable, even at no load.
I. Cycle Counter
The hoist has a counter that records each revolution of the drum. A reed switch activated by a
magnet on the drum advances the counter. The number on the counter, divided by 264,
provides the total number of hoist cycles.
A potentiometer in the Rescue Hoist Assembly provides cable payout information to the
Variable Speed Controller for distribution to digital displays on the pendant control assembly
and the pilot display.
J. Cable Foul Indicator
WARNING: OPERATING THE HOIST WITH A FOULED CABLE CAN CAUSE THE CABLE
TO BREAK AND RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. THE CAUSE OF
ANY CABLE FOUL FIRST MUST BE DETERMINED, AND THEN THE
PROBLEM CORRECTED, BEFORE THE HOIST IS RESTORED TO AN
OPERATIONAL CONDITION.

25-61-00
Page 4
September 19, 2008
FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO CLEAR A FOULED CABLE IN FLIGHT. A FOULED CABLE
MAY BREAK, AND THIS MAY RESULT IN INJURY, OR DEATH.
The hoist incorporates a cable foul indicator, which is a switch actuated safety device, and is
mounted on the hoist’s flanges parallel to the drum axis. This cable foul indicator is designed
to interrupt the power to the hoist motor if a cable foul develops on the hoist drum; thereby
preventing possible cable breakage due to continued cable entanglement.
K. Cable Cutter
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 HOIST, 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 HOIST.
WARNING: TAKE PROPER ESD PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID FIRING THE CARTRIDGE AND
DAMAGING COMPONENTS DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK FROM
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE.
NOTE: AFTER THE CABLE HAS BEEN CUT, THE ANVIL, CARTRIDGE, CUTTER,
O-RINGS, AND COTTER PIN MUST ALL BE REPLACED, WITH REFIRE KIT
PN KT-494.
NOTE: CARTRIDGE SERVICE LIFE IS 3 YEARS, STARTING WHEN REMOVED FROM
CONTAINER. CARTRIDGE LIFE (COMBINED SHELF AND SERVICE LIFE) IS
9 YEARS, STARTING FROM THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE, WHICH CAN BE
FOUND IN THE LOT NUMBER ON THE CONTAINER, AND ON THE
CARTRIDGE. THE LOT NUMBER STARTS WITH THE FIRST THREE LETTERS
“CDI,” FOLLOWED BY TWO DIGITS, IDENTIFYING THE YEAR OF
MANUFACTURE (EXAMPLE: 08 IS 2008), AND ONE LETTER, IDENTIFYING
THE MONTH OF MANUFACTURE, AS FOLLOWS:
A – JANUARY D - APRIL G – JULY K – OCTOBER
B – FEBRUARY E – MAY H – AUGUST L – NOVEMBER
C – MARCH F – JUNE J – SEPTEMBER M – DECEMBER
The cable cutter, contained in the cable guide assembly, is comprised of a pressure cartridge
(squib), guillotine, and anvil. The minimum all-fire current of the cartridge is 5.0 amperes per
bridge wire at 28 VDC. If the cartridge needs to be replaced due to expired service life, or shelf
life, the cartridge can be purchased in a Pressure Cartridge Kit, PN BL-11140-2, which consists
of one cartridge in a hermetically sealed container with packing, to be used with the installation
of the new cartridge. In the event the cartridge has been fired during a cable cut, a cable cutter
re-fire kit (PN KT-494) must be purchased; which includes a cable cutter (PN Y-1265-9-1),
and an impulse cartridge kit (PN BL-11140-2).

HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
L. Limit Switches
WARNING: WHEN NOT IN USE, THE HOOK MUST BE HOMED COMPLETELY IN THE
FULL IN POSITION TO AVOID FATIGUE OF THE CABLE NEAR THE BALL
END DUE TO VIBRATION.
NOTE: IN THE OPERATION OF THE HOIST, THE CABLE RATE IS SLOWED
AUTOMATICALLY TO A SAFE SPEED WHENEVER THE HOIST IS OPERATED
NEAR THE EXTREMES OF THE CABLE TRAVEL (FULL IN AND FULL OUT)
BY REDUNDANT, INTERMEDIATE (SLOW) LIMIT SWITCHES.
Redundant limit switches control full in, full out, and slow speed cable positions with the
following purpose (see Figure 3):
(1) Stop at full in when the bumper assembly makes contact with fleet angle assembly located
in the cable guide.
(2) Intermediate (slow) speed when reeling in, and within a specified distance from full in
switch actuation.
(3) Intermediate (slow) speed when reeling out, and within a specified distance from full out
switch actuation.
(4) Stop at full out at a specified number of dead wraps on the cable drum.

Figure 3. Limit Switch Locations


The switches are directly coupled to the hoist drum by the cyclocentric assembly, which is a
gear train directly driven by the drum, to control full out and slow speed cable positions (hook
approach to helicopter and to full extension). The cable full in switch, actuated by the bumper

25-61-00

FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
assembly mounted on the cable above the hook assembly, is built into the cable guide to ensure
proper homing of the hook.
The bumper assembly consists of a spring and a crushable honeycomb constructed bumper,
which when crushed, provides a visual indication of a problem with either the full in limit
switches, or the intermediate (slow) up limit switches, or is the result of improper handling.
M. Pilot Control and Pendant Control
The pilot control (not supplied with Rescue Hoist System) and pendant control command
raising and lowering operations, with the pilot control having precedence over the pendant
control. The pilot control enables operation in either direction at a fixed cable speed, whereas
the pendant control enables operation at a variable speed.
The Pendant Control and Grip Assembly provides the crewmember with freedom of movement
while utilizing the following control features:
(1) Direction / speed control
(2) Inter-Communication System (ICS) control
(3) Digital readout indicating the amount of cable paid out from the Rescue Hoist Assembly
(contained in CP-400-1 and -2 Pendant Control and Grip Assembly Assemblies only)
(4) Indicator light displaying power on condition (contained in CP-1600-1 Pendant Control and
Grip Assembly only)
The direction / speed control thumb wheel is centrally located on the shrouded upper portion of
the handgrip. A bracket is provided on the handgrip to facilitate stowing the pendant in the
helicopter. The pendant is equipped with digital cable pay out display and an electrical
connector for interfacing with the Variable Speed Controller. Also, the digital cable payout
display momentarily shows “888” when power is initially turned on.
The function of the Pendant Control and Grip Assembly is the direction / speed control
mechanism containing, and actuating, two switches and a potentiometer. The two switches
(one for either direction) provide an on-off signal. The potentiometer, rotated by the thumb
wheel, provides a speed command signal to the controller.
The indicator light provides the hoist operator with a visual indication of when the electrical
power is applied to the Hoist System (white, or yellow, labeled “ON”). The indicator, as well
as the cable pay out digital display, are night vision goggle (NVG) compatible / sunlight
readable.
The ICS control is a snap action switch provided for connection to the helicopter intercom
system. A trigger on the back of the handgrip operates the switch. The switch conforms to
MS24547-1 and is rated for 2 amps inductive at 28 VDC.
The Pendant Cable Assembly, Breeze-Eastern Part Numbers EC-14170-1, EC-14170-2, or
EC-14190-1, electrically connects the Pendant Control and Grip Assembly to the variable
speed electronic controller.

N. Variable Speed Controller
A Variable Speed Controller is the central control unit and junction box for the Rescue Hoist
System. It contains electrical and electronic circuits, which convert pilot and crew / pendant
commands into control voltages for the DC motor driving the hoist assembly. A heat sink on
the side of the Variable Speed Controller provides cooling for electronic components. System
electrical cables attach to connectors at the front and rear of the Variable Speed Controller.

FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
CAUTION: THE TENSION ROLLER SYSTEM WORKS ON THE BASIS OF FRICTION, AND
THEREFORE, NO LUBRICANT SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE CABLE.
CAUTION: WHEN REELING OUT, DO NOT HINDER THE CABLE IN ANY WAY (EITHER
WITH YOUR HANDS, OR OTHER OBSTRUCTION) AS THIS MAY IMPEDE
TENSION ROLLER OPERATION, AND CAUSE THE CABLE TO FOUL.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW THE CABLE TO REEL IN TO THE FULL IN POSITION
WITHOUT HOLDING ONTO, AND GUIDING THE HOOK TO THIS POSITION.
ALLOWING THE HOOK TO SWING FREELY WHILE REELING IN TO THE
FULL IN POSITION MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HOOK, CABLE, HOIST,
AND HELICOPTER.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE THE HOOK LOOSE UNDER THE HOIST AFTER THE HOIST
HAS BEEN USED. ALWAYS ENSURE THE HOOK HAS BEEN HOMED
SECURELY, AND THE BUMPER SPRING IS COMPRESSED SUFFICIENTLY TO
PREVENT THE HOOK FROM MOVING WHILE THE HELICOPTER IS IN
FLIGHT. A LOOSE HOOK MAY RESULT IN A DAMAGED CABLE.
CAUTION: DURING OPERATION OF THE RESCUE HOIST ASSEMBLY, DO NOT TOUCH
THE MOTOR. THE MOTOR TEMPERATURE MAY BE VERY HOT, AND MAY
RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS IF TOUCHED.
NOTE: VISUAL MEANS OF FULL IN AND FULL OUT DETECTION IS PROVIDED
WITH THE RESCUE HOIST ASSEMBLY. ORANGE PAINT IS APPLIED TO THE
WIRE ROPE CABLE INDICATING APPROXIMATELY 30 FT. (9.1 M.) OF CABLE
REMAINS UNTIL REACHING THE FULL IN LIMIT, AND APPROXIMATELY 20
FEET (6.1 M.) OF CABLE REMAINS UNTIL REACHING THE FULL OUT LIMIT.
NOTE: ALWAYS KEEP ONE HAND ON THE CABLE WHILE REELING IN. IF A
PROBLEM OCCURS WITH THE HOIST, YOU WILL FEEL IT IN THE CABLE.
NOTE: THE CABLE RATE IS AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED TO A SAFE SPEED
WHENEVER THE RESCUE HOIST ASSEMBLY IS OPERATED NEAR THE
EXTREMES (FULL IN AND FULL OUT) OF THE CABLE TRAVEL BY
REDUNDANT, INTERMEDIATE (SLOW) LIMIT SWITCHES.
NOTE: PRIOR TO TURNING POWER ON, THE RESCUE HOIST ASSEMBLY
COMPONENTS MUST BE VISUALLY INSPECTED FOR SOUND STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY AND PROPER INTEGRATION.
A. The HS-29700-200 Series Rescue Hoist Systems operate by the Pendant Control and Grip
Assembly, or the pilot control. Once the Variable Speed Controller receives the reel in, or out,
command signal, an output signal is sent to the electric motor, either to raise or lower the hoist
cable. The motor torque will drive the gear train, which will drive the level wind, tension roller
and drum, resulting in reeling in or out of the load cable.
B. Once the down signal is received the wire rope cable will reel out, and speed should be faster
as the control is moved farther from the center. Observe the amount of cable on the storage
drum. Reduce speed as cable nears full extension. When the intermediate (slow) limit switch is
reached, the hoist is slowed to 50 fpm (0.25 mps) until 3½ to 4 wraps of cable remain on the
drum, and the motor is stopped by activation of the down limit switch.

FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
Also, a visual means of full out detection is provided by orange paint on the wire rope cable,
which indicates approximately 20 ft. (6.1 m.) of cable remains until reaching this limit.
C. Once the up signal is received by the Variable Speed Controller, the wire rope cable should
reel in, and speed should be faster as the control is moved farther from the center. The motor
rate allows for a cable speed of 210 fpm (1.07 mps). When the intermediate (slow) limit switch
is reached the hoist is slowed to 50 fpm (0.25 mps) until the full in switch is reached and
operation of the hoist is stopped.
Also, a visual means of full in detection is provided by orange paint on the wire rope cable,
which indicates approximately 30 ft. (9.1 m.) of cable remains until reaching this limit.
WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO CLEAR CABLE FOUL IN FLIGHT. A FOULED CABLE MAY
BREAK, AND MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH.
When reeling in the cable, observe the cable wrapping on the drum. The cable layers should be
wrapping evenly with no gaps, or smiles, on the drum. If the cable incorrectly wraps on the
drum resulting in a cable foul, then as the cable exceeds the height of the top layer, the cable
foul indicator mechanically will actuate and command the hoist to stop. To clear the cable foul
on the ground, the cable foul indicator switches must be manually actuated using a tongue
depressor, or equivalent, and the cable paid out slowly under load. If this does not clear the
foul, it must be removed from the drum by cutting off sections of the fouled cable. In either
case, the cause of the cable foul must be determined, the problem that caused the cable foul
must be corrected, and the cable must be replaced, before the hoist can be returned to a
serviceable condition.
Always guide the hook by hand as the cable is reeled in, at full pendant thumbwheel deflection,
to the full in position. Ensure the spring in the bumper is compressed sufficiently to prevent the
hook from moving when the helicopter is in flight.
WARNING: THE CARTRIDGE IS AN EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AND MUST BE SHIPPED,
STORED AND HANDLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LOCAL STANDARDS
AND REGULATORY PRACTICES.
D. The Rescue Hoist Assembly is equipped with a cable cutter to sever the cable in an emergency.
Actuation of the cable cutter is under the control of the pilot using a switch located in the
cockpit.
CAUTION: OPERATION WITH THE MOTOR HOT LIGHT ON CAN CONTINUE DURING
THIS TIME, BUT SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY RESULT REQUIRING MOTOR
REPLACEMENT, OR MORE SERIOUSLY, THE MOTOR MAY FAIL TO WORK
DURING OPERATIONS. THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
OPERATIONS CEASE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS
AND THE MOTOR BE ALLOWED TO COOL.
E. During training, or when performing testing and troubleshooting procedures, if the
performance of the hoist degrades whereby the speed of the hoist slows, or the motor stalls
while trying to pick up rated loads, the most likely cause is an overheat condition of the motor.
If the motor overheats, allow the motor to cool sufficiently, approximately 30 minutes,
depending on ambient conditions, and the amount of time the hoist was operated with the
motor overheating.

HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
F. The Pendant Control and Grip Assembly is a handheld controller that allows the crewmember
to raise, or lower, the cable by using the directional thumb wheel. This thumb wheel also
controls the speed of operation proportional to the amount of deflection from the null position.
The Pendant Control and Grip Assembly display indicates the amount of cable paid out, and an
indicator light for power on (“ON”). Also, the cable payout display momentarily shows “888”
when power is initially turned on.
G. There have been instances where cable foul sensor equipped Rescue Hoist Systems
automatically stops due to detection of a cable foul, and the operator is unaware that a cable
foul has occurred. In these cases, operators may not be utilizing the electrical circuit provided
to illuminate a warning light to alert the operator of a cable foul.
Breeze-Eastern cable foul sensor equipped Rescue Hoist Assemblies have connector pins for
the operator to receive an electrical signal, which can be used to provide a visual indication that
a cable foul has occurred. This circuit is provided to the aircraft interface. It is highly
recommended the operator utilize this interface to install the helicopter electrical, and display
provisions for the warning light.
The Rescue Hoist Assembly provides 28 VDC out of the designated pin when a cable foul is
detected. In this instance, a typical circuit used to drive the indicator is shown in Figure 201
(Note: This circuit is not supplied by Breeze-Eastern with the Rescue Hoist System, maximum
current rating is 1 amp for the 28 VDC output on the Rescue Hoist Assembly).
3. Emergency In Flight Procedures for Hoist Operation
To address the following emergency conditions, perform the procedures below:
A. Cable Fails to Extend or Retract
(1) Verify Hoist system power is on by checking the cable payout display on the pendant
control, or pilot display. If the cable payout display is not on, verify that all applicable
circuit breakers for Hoist operation are pushed in.
(2) If the cable payout display is still not on, abort the mission and troubleshoot the Hoist
system problem on the ground. If the cable payout display is on and the problem still exists,
proceed to step A.(3).
(3) If using pendant control, use pilot control to attempt to operate the Hoist. Similarly, if using
pilot control, use pendant control to attempt to operate the Hoist. If neither the pendant
control nor the pilot control operates the Hoist, proceed to step A.(4).
(4) Check the hoist to see if there is a cable foul. If a cable foul exists, DO NOT attempt to
clear the fouled cable, or to continue to operate the Hoist in flight. Perform troubleshooting
after helicopter has landed.
B. Uncontrolled or Uncommanded Hoist Up or Down
(1) If using pendant control, use pilot control to attempt to operate the Hoist. Similarly, if using
pilot control, use pendant control to attempt to operate the Hoist. If neither the pendant
control nor pilot control operates the Hoist, proceed to step B.(2).
(2) Pull applicable circuit breakers to turn Hoist power off. Perform troubleshooting after the
helicopter has landed.

FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
C. Inadvertent Cable Cut
(1) DO NOT attempt to operate hoist. Pull applicable circuit breakers to turn Hoist power off,
and perform troubleshooting on ground after helicopter has landed.
D. Cable Cutter Fails to Cut Cable
(1) Use secondary cutting device to sever cable. DO NOT operate Hoist after failed attempt to
cut cable.
E. Hoist Fails to Make Speed
(1) If using pendant control, use pilot control to attempt to operate the Hoist. Similarly, if using
pilot control, use pendant control to attempt to operate the Hoist. If neither the pendant
control nor pilot control operates the Hoist, proceed to step E.(2).
(2) Check the load on the hook to ensure it does not exceed 450 lb. (204 kg.). Try lifting less of
a load (one person instead of two).
F. Cable Fouls or Cable Wraps Loosely on Drum
(1) DO NOT attempt to clear the fouled cable, or use the hoist with a loosely wrapped cable on
the drum (which could result in a fouled cable). Discontinue operating hoist in flight, and
perform troubleshooting after the helicopter has landed.
G. Cable or Hook Snags on Object on Ground
(1) Cut cable, and discontinue use of hoist. Replace cable and hook assembly, and use refire kit
(PN KT-494) after the helicopter has landed per applicable sections of this manual.
H. Cable Subjected to Shock Load
(1) Discontinue use of hoist. Replace cable prior to further hoisting operations after the
helicopter has landed.
4. Flight Line / Ground Handling Hoist Operation Guidelines
A. When operating the hoist during inspections, hoist speed should be no greater than ¼ speed,
unless the inspection is to verify hoist speed. Normal cable cleaning and hoist inspections do
not require high speed operation.
B. When operating the hoist, never “pull” the cable from the hoist when lowering - let the hoist
do the work of lowering. Pulling the cable can actually apply a force opposing the cable
tensioning system.
C. Always use a clean, dry cloth when cleaning or checking the cable - never use a cloth that
contains oil or any other lubricants. See Section 401, cleaning, for complete cleaning
instructions of the hoist.
D. When cleaning the hoist and / or cable, the cable collection container should be as large in
diameter as possible. The larger diameter reduces the possibility of cable damage. A “kiddy”
pool is recommended. See Section 401, Cleaning, for complete cleaning instructions of the
hoist.
E. When cleaning or removing a cable, or inspecting the full-out switches, never use the limit
switch as a “jog” switch. When operating the hoist in this mode, depress and hold the limit

25-61-00

FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
switch actuator and wait one second before deflecting the control pendant thumbwheel (if
applicable) – DO NOT have the thumbwheel deflected and use the limit switch (actuator) to
move the hoist. Also, always wait 1 second before re-actuation of a limit switch.
F. When checking the full in limit switch or stowing the hook, always operate the hoist at
maximum slow speed by deflecting the thumbwheel to its maximum position. If the bumper is
stowed at a slower speed the cable load may be lower than required and can lead to cable
fatigue from excessive hook vibration.
G. If spinning occurs during hoisting operations, avoid using the top part of the hook as a brake.
The top part of the hook is mechanically connected to the cable and, if rotated, will tend to try
to “spin,” or “birdcage,” the cable. This will lead to premature cable replacement.
H. Salt water usage will require post-flight cleaning of exposed components. During this
post-flight cleaning procedure, it is also recommended to clean the cable drum, and this
should be accomplished as follows:
(a) When cleaning the drum, make sure power to the hoist is removed.
(b) Use a clean, damp rag to clean the drum.
(c) Cleaning the drum will require multiple drum movements to clean the entire drum surface.
(d) See Section 401, Cleaning, for complete cleaning instructions of the hoist.
I. Do not use a pressure washer to clean the hoist or use high-pressure air to dry the hoist.
Excessive pressure could damage hoist components.
J. Do not “Water Soak” the electronics. Use isopropyl alcohol to clean panels or pendants.
K. Always wind, and unwind, the cable in a ‘race track’ fashion, never a ‘Figure 8’ or a coil.
L. Always ‘season’ new cables, in accordance with the Rated Load Test, as given in Section 101,
Testing and Troubleshooting.

I. Hook Load Test
Check for proper assembly and installation of the hook by applying a rated load of 450 lb.
(204 kg.), using Breeze Eastern TE-120-1 (or equivalent) as follows:
(1) Run Rescue Hoist Assembly to pay out cable until the hook can be connected to a weight
of 450 lb. (204 kg.) that is resting on the ground.
(2) Mount load on hook and slowly reel cable in until the weight is lifted off the ground.
(3) Once weight is off the ground, lower weight back to the ground.

(4) Remove weight and run Rescue Hoist Assembly to the full in position to secure the hook
and bumper assembly on Rescue Hoist Assembly.
J. Hoist Cycle Counter
Check for proper operation of hoist cycle counter. The counter shall count up by one for each
revolution of the hoist drum. Observe the revolution counter to verify that for each revolution
of the hoist drum the counter increments by one.
K. Rated Load Test
NOTE: LIMIT SWITCHES MUST BE OPERATING, AND SET PROPERLY, BEFORE
PERFORMING LOAD TESTING.
NOTE: THE RATED LOAD TEST REQUIRES TESTING OF THE RESCUE HOIST
ASSEMBLY EITHER ON A HELICOPTER IN HOVER WITH THE COWLING
INSTALLED, OR ON A TEST STAND THAT IS CAPABLE OF SUBJECTING
THE RESCUE HOIST ASSEMBLY TO A 450 LB. (204 KG.) LOAD.
(1) Attach a load of 450 lb. (204 kg) to the hook, using Breeze Eastern TE-120-1 (or
equivalent), and verify 28 VDC power input is available to the Rescue Hoist Assembly.
(2) Reel out the wire rope cable to the full out position.
(a) After the Rescue Hoist Assembly operates at full speed, measure and record the speed
as the cable is reeling off the top layer on the drum. Use a tachometer to measure the
actual speed of the cable, or a stopwatch, to measure the time it takes for the cable to
travel over a known length. Cable speed must not exceed 210 ft/min. (1.1 meters/sec).
(b) Verify the cable speed slows during the first and last 10 to 13 feet (3.0 to 3.96 meters)
of cable travel, and the Rescue Hoist Assembly stops with a minimum of three wraps
on the drum.
(3) Wait 30 seconds.
(4) Reel in the cable onto the drum.
(a) After the Rescue Hoist Assembly is no longer operating at Intermediate (slow) speed,
measure and record the speed as the cable is reeling onto the innermost layer on the
drum. Cable speed must be at least 140 ft/min (0.71 meters/sec).
(b) Before the Rescue Hoist Assembly is operating at Intermediate (slow) speed, measure
and record the speed as the cable is reeling onto the top layer on the drum. Cable
speed must not exceed 210 ft./min. (1.1 meters/sec).
(5) Wait one minute.
(6) Repeat steps (2) through (5) three more times. On all of the three cycles, observe cable
wrapping on the drum, and verify the following:
(a) The cable wraps evenly on the drum during all cycles.

25-61-00

September 19, 2008
FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
(b) The limit switches operate properly, and that speed reduction occurs at the proper set
points.
(c) The cable payout displays in the pendant control and pilot display provide a repeatable
and consistent reading of cable payout (CP-1600-1 not included).
L. Bumper Assembly
Pay out 20 feet (6.1 meters) of cable.
(1) Reverse Rescue Hoist Assembly direction, and reel in cable until the full in limit switch
actuates.
(2) Observe deflection of conical bumper spring. Deflection should measure 1.3 to 1.7 inches
(33 to 43.2 mm.) as measured from top of spring retaining plate to bottom of spring (see
Figure 102).

Figure 102. Deflection of Bumper Assembly with Hook at Full In Position


M. If the System fails to meet any of the test parameters identified in Paragraphs 4A through 4L
above, or if the cable breaks, fouls, or fails to wrap properly on the drum, refer to Table 106
for Troubleshooting Procedures.
5. Troubleshooting Procedures
Troubleshooting is the process of using a logical sequence to locate and eliminate an equipment
malfunction. The troubleshooting process relies heavily on the abilities of qualified technicians.

WARNING: WORK GLOVES MUST BE WORN BY THE OPERATOR WHENEVER HANDLING
THE RESCUE HOIST CABLE TO PREVENT INJURY FROM BROKEN STRANDS
AND WIRES. EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN BY THE OPERATOR
WHENEVER OPERATING, OR MAINTAINING THE RESCUE HOIST TO
PREVENT INJURY FROM LUBRICANTS, SOLVENTS, AND OTHER MATERIALS
USED ON THE RESCUE HOIST, AS WELL AS METAL PARTS AND OTHER
DEBRIS.
CAUTION: THE TENSION ROLLER AND PRESSURE ROLLER WORK ON THE BASIS OF
FRICTION; THEREFORE, NO LUBRICANT SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE
CABLE. IF OIL, OR GREASE, GETS ON THE CABLE, CLEAN THE CABLE WITH
A CLOTH AND ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL. SOLVENTS MAY BE DETRIMENTAL
TO THE TENSION ROLLERS; THEREFORE, A CABLE CLEANED IN THIS
MANNER MUST BE DRY BEFORE BEING REELED IN.
NOTE: BEFORE TURNING POWER ON, THE RESCUE HOIST COMPONENTS MUST BE
VISUALLY INSPECTED FOR SOUND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND PROPER
INTEGRATION.
Visually inspect for obvious wear, damage, or corrosion, as specified below:
(1) Check all parts for nicks, cracks, scratches and corrosion.
(2) All gears and shafts shall be free of nicks, burrs, sharp edges, and wear (see Figure 501).
(3) Check the two mounting brackets for the hoist interface with the helicopter for cracks,
scoring, and elongation of holes (see Figure 801).
(4) Examine threads for stripping, distortion, nicks, and cross threading.
(5) All bearings shall be inspected to standard aerospace bearing inspection methods and
procedures. General Guidelines to be used, but not limited to, are as follows:
(a) Visually inspect ball bearings for radial wear, binding, sticking, loss of lubrication,
contamination, corrosion, scoring, cracks, bent, dented, warped, seized, brinelling,
spalling, scuffing, excessive heat, excessive play, shield placement (if applicable), or any
physical or chemical decomposition.
(b) Hold the inner race with one hand while rotating the outer race. Note the sound and
vibration of the bearings during rotation. This inspection helps detect defects large
enough to be visible but hidden from sight. Reject bearings that bind or that are
exceptionally noisy.
(c) Inspect prepackaged bearings for binding, excessive looseness (possibly indicating loss
of lubricant), or noise. Reject prepackaged bearings having any of these indications.
(d) Inspect bearings for corrosion which will be evidenced by reddish coloring in advanced
stages of staining. Clean and polish external surfaces that exhibit corrosion. If possible,
check for corrosion on the race paths. Deep pits will serve as stress raisers causing fatigue
and flaking. Reject bearings having pits on the ball paths.

(1) Remove cable per Disassembly, Section 301, and check depth of groove on tension roller
(140, Figure 1002, Sheet 3, View A) when installed on Hoist using depth gage (see Figure
503). Measure depth from the top of the unworn ends of the roller to the deepest part of the
groove. If this depth exceeds 0.050 in. (1.3 mm.), replace the tension roller.
(2) Visually inspect tension roller for any abnormal wear, or obvious defects of material (i.e.,
cracks, abrasion, degradation). Replace tension roller if any abnormal wear or any of these
defects are found (see Figure 503), and install cable per Assembly, Section 701.

(6) Check to see that locking screws are properly seated in the body and locked in place with the
cotter pins.
(7) Service Bulletin BL-5448-25-01 and Service Bulletin BL-5448-1-25-01, titled “Breeze-Eastern
Hook Assembly Nut Part Numbers BL-5448 and BL-5448-1 Inspection Requirement” addresses
the Breeze-Eastern Hook Assembly Nut (on BL-5740-14 Hook Assembly ONLY, Figure 1003,
item 40).
(a) Nut part numbers BL-5448 and BL-5448-1 sustained cracks through the drilled holes.
Analysis determined that the cracks developed as a result of stress corrosion. The Nut is
used in the Hook Assembly and is made from AMS 5643 (17-4PH), which is a
precipitation hardened stainless steel. Industry practice recommends that this material
be aged at temperatures above 1000°F (538°C) if the parts are to be used in an
environment where stress corrosion may occur.
The nuts were aged below this temperature. A nut aged at these lower temperatures and
exposed to an electrolyte, such as salt water, and subjected to a prolonged period of
constant stress is potentially subject to a stress corrosion fracture. It is unclear, from an
analysis of this part, how stresses were developed in a direction indicated by the
fracture plane nevertheless stress corrosion is indicated as the failure mode.
It should be noted that the nut is constrained in the hook assembly by a mating part in
such a manner that even a complete fracture, does not reduce the full-load carrying
capacity of the hook assembly. Although the cracks have no effect on the function of
the hook, the presence of these cracks is considered unacceptable. Therefore, an
immediate 10x visual inspection shall be accomplished on the nut as a precautionary
measure.
The nut has external threads and screws into the corresponding hook body / housing.
Perform a 10x visual inspection on the BL-5448 and BL-5448-1 to determine whether
cracks exist. If cracks are found a new nut will have to be purchased.
This Service Bulletin shall be accomplished immediately. In addition, a recurring 10x
visual inspection shall be accomplished every six months thereafter. The requirement of
this recurring 10x visual inspection may be combined and satisfied with any
maintenance action requiring hook assembly removal and replacement i.e. cable change
out, hook assembly cleaning, etc.
If cracks are found a new nut will have to be purchased. New replacement nuts are
identified with “H1025” marked on the top surface of the nut. When the replacement
nut is installed in the hook assembly this Service Bulletin is terminated.
The preferred hook assembly nut replacement is part number BL-5448-1
(interchangeable with BL-5448), in lieu of BL-5448, because of its dual locking
features. The BL-5448-1 requires two locking screws and cotter pins for reassembly.

FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
In order to be effective, cable inspection must be performed on a regularly scheduled basis. Wire
rope cables used for personnel lifting should be inspected carefully and frequently. Use the
following acceptance and rejection standard, and check for the defects identified:
(1) Broken wires
The number of broken wires on the outside of a wire rope is an indication of its general condition
(see Figure 506). However, continued use of a cable with broken wires can result in the damage
area of the cable being caught in the cable guide assembly upon paying out, and will result in
cable fouling, or some other problem that may lead to a more severe situation. It is for this
reason that no broken wires are allowed for the hoist cable. If broken wires are detected, the
cable shall be removed and replaced immediately.

Figure 506. Example of Broken Strands in Wire Rope Cable


(2) Evidence of dragging over obstacles or worn cable guides
Cable abrasion is caused by contact with other cable sections, or any material that may contact
the cable, such as helicopter structural members, auxiliary equipment, or almost any abrasive
surface (see Figure 507). Abrasion removes metal from the external wires in the outer strands
and thus weakens the cable. Nicking, scarring, and scrubbing are also referred to as abrasion.
Severe abrasion resulting from dragging a cable across helicopter structure can result in
catastrophic cable failure, and possibly loss of life. Severe abrasion as evidenced by a worn shiny
surface, or damaged, cable resulting in multiple broken wires in an outer strand in any section
requires immediate cable replacement.

Figure 507. Example of Abrasion of Wire Rope Cable


(3) Bird caging (permanent deformation, or “opening up” of cable strands)
Bird caging is the permanent deformation, or “opening up,” of the strands and wires of the wire
rope itself. This condition results from torsion imbalance that occurs, because of mistreatments
such as sudden stops, the wire rope being worked through tight sheaves, or a hook bearing that is
binding (see Figure 508). Any evidence of bird caging requires immediate replacement of the
wire rope cable.

FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
(4) Kinking (permanent bend) in cable
Kinks are man made defects in cables; caused by a loop in a cable being pulled up tight, resulting
in a sharp, permanent bend in the cable (see Figure 509). Kinks are identified as “open,” or
“closed.” Pulling a cable loop tight causes an “open” kink, creating a sharp permanent bend that
tends to open the layering of strands in the cable. A “closed” kink is caused in the same manner,
but creates a sharp permanent bend that tends to close the lay of the cable. Continued use of a
kinked cable can result in the kink being caught in the cable guide assembly upon paying out,
and can result in cable fouling. A kinked cable should not be run back onto a hoist for any
reason.

Figure 509. Example of Kink in Wire Rope Cable


(5) Knots in cable
Knots are formed in the cable by passing one free cable section, or end, through a loop and
drawing it tight, or by a tangle drawn tight (see Figure 510). Cable knots are generally caused
by improper ground maintenance handling, or if the cable inadvertently loops / tangles while
operating the rescue hoist. A knotted cable should not be run back onto a hoist for any reason
and requires immediate cable replacement.

Figure 510. Example of Knot in Wire Rope Cable (Typical)


(6) Improperly attached or defective fittings
Carefully inspect the cable in the area of the hook ball end attachment (see Figure 511). Do not
bend the cable in the process of the inspection. The ball end of the cable must not evidence any

25-61-00
Page 511
September 19, 2008
FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
broken wires at the swaged ball fitting. Any necking down, broken wires, loose wires in the
immediate vicinity of the ball end is a cause for cable replacement. This condition may have
resulted from the cable not being snugged up against the cable guide and fleet angle assembly
properly, or a full in limit switch that is activating too fast. The continual vibration of a
helicopter and a loosely “homed” hook can result in a fatigue failure of the cable immediately
above the ball end fitting. This inspection should be performed prior to every flight. If a loose
hook is noted, the necessary adjustment to the full in limit switch shall be performed after the
cable inspection.

(7) Cable Looseness
NOTE: OPERATION OF A WIRE ROPE CABLE EXHIBITING A LOCALIZED LOOSE
CONDITION MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DEFORMATION OF THE STRANDS
NECESSITATING REMOVAL OF THE CABLE FROM SERVICE.
When a wire rope cable is cycled predominantly over a small range (less than 50 feet [15.2
meters] from the hook end) of its overall length at no load, cable strands may loosen. The
strands will appear visibly loose, or will feel pliable / soft (see Examples A and B in Figure
512), typically near the hook end, over a short length of cable (not the entire length of
cable). If the cable is no longer taut, it may appear damaged.
To remove the looseness in the cable, apply a weight equal to the rated load of the hoist,
and cycle the cable five (5) times from full-in to full out positions.
NOTE: MILD LOOSENESS IN THE CABLE MAY BE ELIMINATED BY REMOVING AND
STORING THE CABLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, OR BY LOAD CYCLING AS
DIRECTED.
After cycling the cable under load, slowly reel out approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters) of
cable, and inspect for looseness. If visible looseness was successfully removed, no further
action is required. If early indications of cable looseness are still visible (as shown in
Example A of Figure 512), repeat the rated load cycling as stated above. If this does not
remove the looseness, remove the cable from service, and store for several days. If
25-61-00
Page 512
September 19, 2008
FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
looseness is still evident after several days of storage, repeat the full-length, rated load
cycling until inspection indicates no looseness is evident in the wire rope cable. If looseness
remains evident after repeating full-length, rated load cycling, replace cable.

Figure 512. Examples of Wire Rope Cable Looseness
(8) Internal wear caused by grit or dirt penetration
Internal wear caused by grit, dirt, sand, etc. embedded between cable strands is extremely
difficult to detect. Preventive maintenance is the best procedure. The cable should be
carefully wiped to remove gritty material as it is reeled in during post flight inspection.
Prolonged use of a cable loaded with gritty material will result in broken wires.
(9) Severe overload and shock loading
Severe overloading can result if the load being hoisted is greater than 450 lb. (204 kg.), or if
the hoist hook becomes snagged on an object on the ground, or the mast of a ship at sea.
Shock loading can result if the load on the hoist hook freefalls when the cable is slack. In
either case, the result is a cable that has been severely overloaded, which may, or may not,
show immediate results of the overload. Broken strands are the most obvious defects.
However, broken core wires, which are not visible, may also result from overload. “Necking-
down” of a section of cable is an indication of broken core wires. A cable that has been
knowingly overloaded should be replaced immediately even if no obvious physical damage is
detected. Any obvious reduction in diameter that is noted is cause for immediate cable
replacement.
(10) Improperly adjusted, or defective cable guide
Cables evidencing damage such as broken wires at the turnaround, or at cable crossovers, are
an indication that the hoist needs to have the level wind readjusted, or repaired. Smiles (gaps
between adjacent turns of cable) are the result of the cable not being tightly and evenly
wrapped, and / or the level wind leading the cable too much. If the level wind is adjusted to
lag the cable too much, excessive abrasion of the cable as it wraps on the drum occurs,
particularly at the crossovers. All of the above inspections are subjective, and require an
experienced inspector to make the inspection, and readjustment, if required. If the condition

25-61-00
Page 513
September 19, 2008
FLIGHT LINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
HS-29700 SERIES RESCUE HOIST SYSTEM
is corrected prior to excessive damage occurring, the cable can be continued in service if no
wire breaks are evident.
NOTE: RECOMMENDED 1500 HOIST CYCLE CABLE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENT
IS BASED ON THE FATIGUE LIFE OF WIRE ROPE DURING HOIST
OPERATIONS IN LABORATORY CONDITIONS. ACTUAL CONDITIONS WITH
THE HOIST ON THE HELICOPTER WILL VARY FROM THESE IDEAL
CONDITIONS. THEREFORE, INSPECTION OF CABLE IS NOT TO BE
ELIMINATED DUE TO THIS RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT INTERVAL.
In addition to the inspection identified above, every 1500 cycles, the cable (90) is recommended
to be replaced on the hoist. See the procedures in Disassembly, Section 301, for removal of the
cable, and in Assembly, Section 701, for installation of the cable.
G. Cable Foul Indicator (when installed, see Figure 513 and Figure 1002, Sheet 4, View C)
NOTE: THE WIRE ROPE CABLE MUST BE REELED IN UNDER NO LOAD PRIOR TO
THE CABLE / SWITCH ACTUATOR GAP MEASUREMENT.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISPLACE CABLE FOUL SENSOR ACTUATOR GREATER THAN 0.188
IN. (4.7 MM) FROM ITS NORMAL “AT REST” POSITION.
(1) Apply power to the Hoist, and slowly reel out cable until the cable attach setscrew (101)
is aligned with the bottom of the switch actuator (400). Use a vernier caliper, or
equivalent, and check the gap between the switch actuator and the highest point on the
top layer of the cable at the cross over point on the drum (located on the drum adjacent to
the setscrew, see Figure 513). The gap should be 0.060 ± 0.020 inches (1.5 ± 0.5 mm.). If
gap is not within limits, adjust setscrews (780) to correct dimension. After inspection /
adjustment is completed, slowly reel in cable until the hook is at full in, and disconnect
power to the Hoist.
(2) Check condition of springs (810) on cable foul indicator. Ensure springs are not broken,
damaged, or deformed (no large gaps between coils).
(3) Apply power to the hoist, and using a spring scale, check the force required to pull up on
each side of the switch actuator just inside the switches (see Figure 514) to stop the hoist
while reeling the cable in, and out. The force shall be 0.75 to 2.25 lb. (0.34 to 1.02 kg.).
H. Pre-Flight Inspection
The following procedures are to be performed before each day when the hoist may be used for
airborne rescue operations (including training).
(1) Visually check the hoist structure for cracks, missing mounting and retaining hardware
(bolts, lock nuts, cotter pins, locking screws, etc.), hardware slippage marks (if applied), or
material surface imperfection.

(2) Check hook assembly (10, 15, or 20, Figure 1002, Sheet 1) bearing(s) for smooth and
non-binding swivel operation. Check keeper spring for retention in closed position, and
overall condition. Check bumper for damage and shock-absorbing capacity. Check that ball
end of cable has no signs of damage. Check to see that locking screws are properly installed
and locked in place with cotter pins.
(3) Check all covers, plugs, and guards for proper attachment and tie wire installation.
(4) Visually inspect hoist for any oil leakage.
NOTE: TO PROPERLY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL OF THE HOIST WHILE INSTALLED
ON THE HELICOPTER, THE HELICOPTER MUST BE ON A LEVEL SURFACE
AND THE HOIST SIGHT GLASS MUST BE PERPENDICULAR TO THIS
SURFACE.

(a) If hoist oil level is below the middle of the glass, remove tie wire and plug (790) with
seal (800) above motor, and slowly add oil to hoist. Stop adding oil when oil level rises to
the line. When finished, install plug with seal and tie wire per MS33540 with
MS20995NC32.
(b) If oil level is above the middle of the glass (excessive fill), remove hoist from helicopter
per Disassembly, Section 301. Put container under hoist to catch excess oil, remove tie
wire, and remove plug (790). Turn hoist over and allow excess oil to drain out of hoist.
When oil level is at white line, tighten bolt, tie wire per MS33540 with MS20995NC32,
and install hoist onto helicopter per Assembly, Section 701.
(6) Check that electrical connectors are properly installed and secured. Also check for any
indications of back shell damage, chaffing, or conductor separation from the connectors.
(7) Check that the setscrew (101) holding the wire rope cable in drum flange is visible, and is
installed properly i.e., flush with the drum flange (see Figure 516).
(8) Perform the following operational check for the Rescue Hoist System if not used for the last
seven (7) days:

FITS AND CLEARANCES


1. Table 801 identifies the allowable limits for close tolerance parts for the Rescue Hoist 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 system components. When this condition exists the affected part(s) shall be dimensionally
inspected in accordance with Figures 801 through 805. 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 Rescue Hoist System. See
Figures 801, 802, 803, 804, 805, and 1002 for items referenced. Figures 801, 802, and 803 show

Breeze Eastern Use Only


Engineering Services Disposition:
Section 501, Figure 515, page 516 covers the sight glass for the HS-29700 system. The cleaning procedure for the
sight glass is given in Section 401, Cleaning. Section 401, subsection 1. M. recommends cleaning the glass with
Antistatic Plastic and Glass Cleaner (name Plasti-Glass) using a clean cloth.

Removal of the sight glass is not a flight line activity.

There are no changes required in the manual. Therefore, no tracking number will be created.

Customer was provided with contact information by Gary Olson concerning another TPDR. It was also explained in
correspondence that the contact information being used was old, since Breeze-Eastern had moved its main location.

BL-11140 PRESSURE CARTRIDGE KIT - INCREASE IN CARTRIDGE LIFE


AND PROPER INSTALLATION OF THE IMPULSE CARTRIDGE
SUBJECT: Breeze-Eastern Rescue Hoists utilizing Pressure Cartridge Kit PN BL-11140-Series, which
incorporate the Breeze-Eastern impulse cartridges PN’s Y-1265-10-1 and BL-9280 have an
increase in cartridge life from 3 years to 5 years as directed by the manufacturer. In addition, the
military equivalent cartridge kit PN’s Mark 44 Mod O and NAVAIR No. 2240772 are shipped
from the manufacturer with a collar and packing that must be removed prior to installation in
the rescue hoist.

I. INFORMATION.

A. Reason.

1. The manufacturer of the cartridge has extended the pressure cartridge life from 30 – 36 months
to 5 years. The cartridge life definition should now be as follows:

a) Packaged in hermetically sealed containers, 9 years beginning from date of manufacture of


which not more than 5 years shall have elapsed after opening the container.

b) Packaged in other than hermetically sealed containers, 5 years from the date of manufacture.

Essentially there is an increase in cartridge life of approximately 2 years, which enhances the
cartridge life cycle costs.

2. The military equivalent cartridge kit PN’s Mark 44 Mod O, and NAVAIR No. 2240772 (Not
Supplied by Breeze-Eastern), are shipped from the manufacturer with a collar and packing that
must be removed prior to installation in Breeze-Eastern rescue hoists.

Incorrect installation of the cartridge has been made in the field with the collar, and incorrect
packing / O-Ring installed, refer to Figures 1 and 2. This may affect the proper operation /
function of the cable cut system.

SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
Breeze-Eastern Rescue Hoist and Cargo Winch Maintenance Concept
(Includes Time Between Overhaul Definition)
SUBJECT: Breeze-Eastern has modified its maintenance concept for Rescue Hoists and Cargo Winches to
reflect revised government aviation authority requirements, as well as current industry and
military standards. C

Notes: This SIL pertains to Breeze-Eastern Rescue Hoists and Cargo Winches. System
Electronics such as Pendants, Pilot and Crew Control Panels are considered “On
Condition” Maintenance.

This Service Information Letter replaces CAB-100-45, “Recommended Intervals For


Planned Maintenance of Breeze-Eastern Hoists And Winches” in its entirety.

INFORMATION.

A. Reason.

Revisions made to the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR), specifically FAR 27, “Airworthiness
Standards: Normal Category Rotorcraft,” and FAR 29, “Airworthiness Standards: Transport
Category Rotorcraft,” as well as the corresponding European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
Certification Specifications (CS), CS-27, “Small Rotorcraft,” CS-29, “Large Rotorcraft,” mandate
a stringent set of design requirements on the handling of external loads, both human and
non-human.

To meet the FAR / EASA requirements for helicopter type certification the commercial helicopter
manufacturers require an additional in depth level of detail in analyses, test, inspection, and
maintenance.

Although the military is not bound by the commercial FAR’s and EASA CS’s, their design
requirements on the handling of external loads, both human and non-human are as stringent, if not
more stringent, than the civil aviation authorities.

Therefore, Breeze-Eastern is adopting and implementing a maintenance concept that will meet the
changing / evolving requirements for safe Rescue Hoist and Cargo Winch design, operation, and
maintenance.

B. Effectivity.

This Service Information Letter pertains to all Rescue Hoist and Cargo Winch Systems
manufactured by Breeze-Eastern.

SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
Breeze-Eastern Rescue Hoist and Cargo Winch Maintenance Concept
(Includes Time Between Overhaul Definition)
C. Maintenance Concept Description.
Breeze-Eastern has revised its maintenance concept to three (3) levels of established
maintenance. They encompass both commercial and military definitions as defined below.

NOTE: All maintenance actions for Breeze-Eastern Rescue Hoists or Cargo Winches shall be
accomplished in accordance with applicable Breeze-Eastern manuals and technical
documentation. Furthermore, it is required that all maintenance requiring new
components be accomplished utilizing Breeze-Eastern Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) / European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approved parts. Any and all actions
taken by the owners / operators / maintenance facilities that deviate from Breeze-Eastern
recommended procedures contained herein, or actions taken utilizing parts, or
procedures not prescribed by Breeze-Eastern, shall not be the responsibility of
Breeze-Eastern.
Definitions.
1. Organizational / Flight Line Level:
Maintenance at this level consists of preventative maintenance, visual inspection, and
scheduled maintenance of the system, corrective maintenance for fault isolation, removal and
replacement of the hardware that can be performed at the organization or flight line “within
the shadow of the aircraft.”
2. Intermediate / Hangar Level:
Maintenance actions that cannot be accomplished at the Organizational / Flight Line Level of
maintenance will require removal of the system, or component, to a hangar workshop /
bench.
Examples where removal is required are access restrictions due to cowling, or helicopter,
interface, and alternate power or testing needs not available on the flight line etc.
(Note: For certain export controlled items (ITAR), intermediate, or depot-level repair, and
maintenance information may be exported to a location outside the United States only under
a Technical Assistance Agreement approved specifically for that purpose).
3. Depot Level / FAA - EASA Certified Repair Station:
Maintenance at the Depot Level consists of Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) / Weapons
Replaceable Assembly (WRA) repair, or overhaul, to return the unit to a fully operational
condition.
At this level, the units may be tested prior to disassembly, disassembled, inspected, repaired /
overhauled, and reassembled. After completion of assembly, the unit is acceptance tested.
At the Depot Level a functional test rig, as well as some special fixtures may be required.

maintenance information may be exported to a location outside the United States only
under a Technical Assistance Agreement approved specifically for that purpose).

D. Breeze-Eastern Maintenance Services.

Breeze-Eastern has revised its available maintenance services as defined in the following
information.

1. Scheduled Maintenance:

Breeze-Eastern’s maintenance action at this level is to perform scheduled maintenance on a


Hoist or Winch System, returned by operators who do not have the capability, or who do not
want to attempt, to accomplish these maintenance actions on their own.

2. Repair / Unscheduled Maintenance:

Breeze-Eastern’s maintenance action at this level is to go to the repair level necessary to


return the Hoist or Winch System to service. It will include functional testing, as well as any
Breeze-Eastern mandated improvements that are known to enhance the performance and / or
safety of the assembly.

3. Overhaul:

Breeze-Eastern’s maintenance action at this level is to bring the Hoist or Winch System to a
zero time / zero cycles condition regarding its overhaul status (see Table 1). The unit is
completely disassembled and the torque path / load critical parts are inspected to engineering
design criteria. Consumable, wear parts, and mandated parts are replaced, or reworked, in
accordance with customer instructions / contract. The unit is reassembled, and acceptance
tested, prior to being returned to service.

Overhaul Interval:

NOTE: If operators consistently sortie at excessive utilization rates, operate in adverse


environmental conditions, etc. it is the operator’s responsibility to increase the
scope, and frequency of all Hoist, or Winch, maintenance actions to ensure safe
operation of the equipment.

More frequent inspections can be made, but inspections cannot be accomplished


less frequently.

SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
Breeze-Eastern Rescue Hoist and Cargo Winch Maintenance Concept
(Includes Time Between Overhaul Definition)
Breeze-Eastern’s Hoist / Winch Time Between Overhaul (TBO) period is either five (5) years
or two thousand (2,000) cycles from date of manufacture, whichever comes first, or ten (10)
years or two thousand (2,000) cycles from date of manufacture, whichever comes first. Refer
to Table 1 for the applicable Hoist / Winch Time Between Overhaul (TBO) period.

NOTE: A Hoist, or Winch, cycle is defined as reeling out the cable from full-in to full-out,
and then reeling back to full-in.

Table 1. Breeze-Eastern’s Hoist / Winch Time Between Overhaul (TBO) Period.

Hoist / Winch PN Cycles Years Note(s)


All Cargo Winches 2000 10 (1)

All others 2000 5 (3)

If incorporated, a Hoist or Winch cycle is defined by the cycle counter. If a Hoist, or Winch,
does not have a cycle counter, then tracking of the number of cycles is dependent on the
operator’s records / usage logs.

Note(s):

(1) With the exception of those cargo winches used in hoisting operations (5 year TBO). C
(2) With a 10 year overhaul period, an oil change and limit switch integrity check is
recommended every 5 years.
(3) If the part number is not listed in Table 1 then the TBO is 5 years or 2000 cycles.

Engineering Services Disposition:
To be clear, the information given on the TPDR form is conflicting. Neither of the manuals noted on the form are
actually CMMs. CMM terminology refers to a depot overhaul manual (Component Maintenance Manual). Conversely,
O&M manuals are Flight Line Operation and Maintenance manuals (FLMM). Given the other information on the form
about the publication pages and figures stated, date and manual revision, and inquiries made of B-E Customer Care,
the assumption is made that the user is referring to pages within the FLMM, TD-01-002 HS-29700 Series Hoist
Systems.

As for readable schematics within the manual: the schematic details of most systems are excerpted from B-E engineering
schematics. As such, capturing those details in a page size that will fit into the standard technical manual, has always
been a challenge. It has been the practice of B-E, according to the specification invoked for technical manuals, to
accommodate the schematics to the allowable page sizes for a manual. Since many of the original B-E schematics are
prepared in a much larger drawing page format for engineering use, the illustrations need to be enlarged by the user when
reviewing the pdf file of the schematic page in order to see the details in a readable size.

In order to maximize the readability of the schematics, the attached pdf file of Section 201 or Revision H of the manual will
replace the existing Section 201. The attachment has enhanced resolution images of the schematics which can be read
upon magnification.

Engineering Services Disposition:
To be clear, the information given on the TPDR form is conflicting. Neither of the manuals noted on the form are
actually CMMs. CMM terminology refers to a depot overhaul manual (Component Maintenance Manual). Conversely,
O&M manuals are Flight Line Operation and Maintenance manuals (FLMM). Given the other information on the form
about the publication pages and figures stated, date and manual revision, and inquiries made of B-E Customer Care,
the assumption is made that the user is referring to pages within the FLMM, TD-01-002 HS-29700 Series Hoist
Systems.

As for readable schematics within the manual: the schematic details of most systems are excerpted from B-E engineering
schematics. As such, capturing those details in a page size that will fit into the standard technical manual, has always
been a challenge. It has been the practice of B-E, according to the specification invoked for technical manuals, to
accommodate the schematics to the allowable page sizes for a manual. Since many of the original B-E schematics are
prepared in a much larger drawing page format for engineering use, the illustrations need to be enlarged by the user when
reviewing the pdf file of the schematic page in order to see the details in a readable size.

In order to maximize the readability of the schematics, the attached pdf file of Section 201 or Revision H of the manual will
replace the existing Section 201. The attachment has enhanced resolution images of the schematics which can be read
upon magnification.
