Disassembling the major components

TM 10-1670-268-20&P 0004 00 0004 00-29 DISASSEMBLY Disassembling the major components. The basic disassembly of the type V and dual row airdrop platform is achieved by reversing the procedures used for assembly. However, due to the unique minor components of the dual row airdrop platform, specific disassembly procedures are provided. 1. Disassemble the Dual Row Airdrop Platform as follows: a. Platform Preparation. Place the platform on the dedicated assembly area so that the installation holes on the two panels with outriggers installed are accessible from the bottom of the platform. CAUTION Outrigger mast assemblies cannot stand on their own. All personnel must stand clear of the path of the fall of the mast assemblies during disassembly of outrigger masts. b. Releasing Outrigger Masts. Three personnel are required for this task. (1) One person stands between the upright outrigger mast assemblies and holds them in place by the handles. A second person releases the CGU-1B cargo tie down strap holding the mast assemblies together. (2) While one-person holds one mast assembly upright, two people lower the other mast assembly into the mast cradle on the link, retracting the knob handles. (3) Two persons then lower the second mast assembly into the second mast cradle. KNOB HANDLES
