ROLLER PAD INSTALLATION SEQUENCE CONT.

TM 10-1670-268-20&P 0004 00 0004 00-13 (2) Inside and outside Extraction Force Transfer Actuator (EFTA) brackets. The inside and outside EFTA brackets (1) and (2), are used to attach the EFTA to the left side rail. Two holes are provided in the side rail for attaching the brackets. Using a ⁹/₁₆-inch wrench, install; two ³/₈-inch x ⁹/₁₆-inch hex head bolts (3) with two ³/₈-inch flat washers (4) and two ³/₈-inch hex lock nuts (5) with two ³/₈-inch flat washers. As an illustrated aid, there is an arrow on the outside brackets that will point forward when the bracket has been properly installed. 3. Assemble the Dual Row Airdrop Platform as follows: a. Position all components as near as practical to the location where the platform is to be assembled. b. Start the screws two or three turns by hand. CAUTION Because the Dual Row platform is gravity extracted, platform bowing cannot exceed a ¼-inch tolerance. Therefore, a flat, clean, dedicated assembly area is critical to the proper assembly of the Dual Row platform. In addition, an assembly structure must be built to allow for the placement of the outrigger assemblies from the underside of the assembly structure. Failure to do so could cause improper assembly causing the load to jam during extraction. NOTE Do not hammer screws or bolts through holes of roller pads or side rails due to probable damage to internal fixed components (ex., nut bars and encapsulated nuts).
