INTRODUCTION

Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion Instructor to Student Ratio is: 1:16 Time of Instruction: 5 mins Media: Large Group Instruction
Motivator

As a supervisor, situations will arise during recovery operations where the load will exceed the winch capacity of the vehicle. You must be able to construct the proper rigging using the winch and snatch blocks to overcome this resistance. These problems exist in all units throughout the Army. Show slides # 1 and # 2

Terminal Learning Objective

NOTE: Inform the students of the following Terminal Learning Objective requirements. At the completion of this lesson, you [the student] will: Action: Conditions:

Define rigging methods and rigging techniques In a classroom environment, given instruction, references, pencil and paper. IAW applicable technical publications, procedures, and specifications. When this task is complete, the vehicle must be fully mission capable. 1. Complete the solution sheet as the group performs the task. Once the group has correctly performed a step, place a check in the column. 2. Ensure that each student participates. Rotate students so that all members of the group use references, tools, and perform the hands on steps of the task. If time permits, repeat the task with different members performing different steps. 3. Ensure that the group completes each performance step IAW applicable references. 4. If a safety violation occurs, stop the group, correct on the spot and restart the group. 5. If a student misses the practical exercise or a team needs training for longer than the PE allows, then conduct this training IAW TRADOC regulations. 6. Check all work, have students clean work area, and store equipment.

Standards:

Safety Requirements

Hearing protection will be used when equipment is in operation. Safety goggles, should be worn while working under a vehicle. Hard hats will be worn when using an overhead lifting device. Remove all jewelry and I.D. tags before any work is started. Use safety stands while vehicle is in the raised position. Low - It is the instructor's responsibility to conduct a risk assessment prior to instruction using FM 100-14 as guidance. A copy of the risk management work sheet must be present at time of instruction.

Risk Assessment Level

Environmental Considerations

NOTE: It is the responsibility of all soldiers and DA civilians to protect the environment from damage.

When working with equipment, in the event of an accidental spill of hydraulic fluid, fuels, oils, solvents, acids, and coolants, the spill must be contained and cleaned up immediately. Floor dry sweep is the most effective material to contain and clean up environmental spills. The student will report the incident to the instructor immediately. The instructor will direct appropriate cleanup actions. All contaminated floor dry materials must be stored in a separate container. The container must be inspected by qualified environmental specialists to determine proper disposal procedures. Additional warnings and cautions concerning environmental hazards will be explained to you at the applicable point in later lessons.

Evaluation

Describe how the student must demonstrate accomplishment of the TLO. In lesson 63H34F06, Job Knowledge Test, the student must achieve at least a 70% score and complete the test within one hour. In lesson 63H34F07, Job Performance Test, the student must achieve a GO and complete the test within one hour. We are now ready to begin our instruction on rigging techniques.

Wire rope (1) Use (a) Where strength and durability are required (heavy loads) (b) Winch lines and tow cables (c) Guide lines for tight poles and lifting devices (2) Care (a) Avoid using kinked cable; bad kinks should be cut out where enough good cable is left for use (b) Steam cleaning will remove dirt and grit (c) Always lubricate with CLP or unused engine oil after cleaning (d) Avoid storing near corrosive liquids NOTE: Refer group to FM 5-125, pg 1-9. (3) Safe working capacity The rule of thumb for safe working capacity is 8d = SWC NOTE: NOTE: Show slides # 29 and # 30, refer group to FM 9-43-2, pg 2-14 Display chain d. Chains (1) Use (a) Slings (b) Dead lines

(2) Care (a) Chain links should be inspected for cracks. (b) Chain should never be painted, as cracks would be very difficult to detect if covered with paint. (3) Safe working capacity (SWC) is the same as wire rope. NOTE: Show slides #31 and # 32, refer group to 9-43-2, pg 2-10. e. Blocks (1) Components (a) Shell (b) Sheave (c) Sheave pin (d) Becket NOTE: NOTE: Show slides # 33, refer group to FM 9-43-2, pg 2-10 Display conventional blocks. (2) Conventional blocks (a) Used with fiber rope, threaded or weaved through the block and over the sheave. (b) Used for light recovery operations. (c) Used where it will remain as part of a rigging system. NOTE: NOTE: Show slide # 34, refer group to FM 9-43-2, pg 2-10 Display snatch blocks (3) Snatch blocks (a) Heavy recovery operations (b) Shell can be opened at the hook to allow cable to enter the sheave. (c) Used when it will not be a permanent part of the tackle system. NOTE: Show slide # 35 (4) Classification Single, double, and triple sheave. Size is determine by its rated capacity, diameter of the sheaves, the size of cable used with the block, and the number of

sheaves. Example: block snatch, wire rope, single 8-inch sheaves, - inch diameter rope, 25-ton capacity. NOTE: Show slide # 36 f. Tackle terminology (1) Fall line runs from the source of power to the first block in the tackle system. (2) Return lines lines between the blocks (3) Dead lines lines used to attach block to the load or an anchor NOTE: Show slide # 37 thru # 41 g. Block configurations are named according to its function in the tackle system (1) Fixed block or leading block (a) Changes direction of pull without affecting mechanical advantage. (b) Gains mechanical advantage only during self recovery (c) Attached to stationary object (d) Is usually added to an existing tackle system to give more advantage (2) Running or traveling blocks (a) Attached to and moves with the load (b) Gains mechanical advantage (3) Floating block- allows an even pull NOTE: 3. Conduct a check on learning and summarize the learning activity. Learning Step / Activity 3.

(a) One or more blocks reeved with a rope. (b) To determine the mechanical advantage of a simple tackle system, count the number of lines supporting the load. (2) Compound tackle system (a) Two or more blocks reeved with more then one rope combination of two or more simple tackle systems fastened together. (b) Mechanical advantage is determined by multiplying the product of each simple tackle systems. NOTE: Show slides # 45 thru #52, refer group to FM 9-43-2, pg 2-16 b. Resistance (1) Grade resistance equal to the vehicles weight (2) Overturning resistance equal to half the vehicles weight (3) Mired (a) Wheel depth equal to vehicle weight, plus cargo (b) Fender depth equal to two times the vehicles weight plus cargo (c) Turret or cab depth equal to three times the vehicles weight plus cargo (4) Water resistance (5) Tackle resistance (a) Reduces total availible pulling power (b) For each passage of rope or cable through a block (called a sheave), there is approximately a 10 % loss of energy. This loss is considered as resistance because it must be overcome before the resistance of the load can be overcome. (c) The rule to determine tackle resistance is 10% of the load resistance times the number of sheaves (not blocks) in the rigging. (d) Tackle resistance (friction) is created by: 1. Sheave rolling on a sheave pin. 2. Flexing of the rope or cable around a sheave. \

3. Rope or cable scuffing in the sheave groove. c. Load-reduction factors (a) Recover vehicle in opposite direction of travel is 10% reduction (b) Power to tracks is a 40% reduction (c) Combination of both is a 50% reduction in load NOTE: Show slides # 53 thru # 57, refer group to FM 9-43-2, page 3-10 d. Methods of rigging (1) Back-up method: is used when the recovery vehicle can be safely positioned within 20 to 25 feet of the disabled vehicle. (2) Lead method: is used when terrain conditions do not permit close access to the disabled vehicle. (3) Manpower method: is used when the rigging equipment is light weight and can be carried easily.
