A. Mooring of the NLG
(1) With the mooring items that follow:
(b) Pull each ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) to a point that is in line with the centerline of the sliding tube (make sure that each section of the ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) is of equal length). Then attach them to the JOKER HOOK (SEE TABLE) (2).
(c) Attach the JOKER HOOK (SEE TABLE) (2) to the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3).
(d) Get one lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) and put one of its ends through the GROUND MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (6).
(e) Put other end of the lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) through the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3). Move the two loose ends of the lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) to a point in the middle between the GROUND MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (6) and the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3).
(f) Connect the two ends of the lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) together with the STEEL SHACKLE (SEE TABLE) (5).
(g) Do steps (d) thru (f) again for each ground-master-ring position.
(h) Use the ratchet mechanism (7) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) (to lightly pull each lashing-strap (4) so that it is not loose. Make sure that the last lateral position of the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3) is in the axis of the centerline of the sliding tube.
(2) Post Mooring Inspection
Because wind speed is not constant or predictable, it is necessary to examine the landing gear for damage. This is to prevent the possible effects of too much wind speed and thus a possible landing gear overload. Because of this, you must do the inspections that follow after the mooring configuration is removed (when high winds stop).
(a) Do a visual inspection of interfaces of the ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) on the sliding tube and axle for signs of damage to the landing-gear surface finish (chrome detachment, scratches or flaking paint).
(b) Do a check of the tires for flat spots and signs of increased wear (Ref. AMM TASK 32-41-00-210-002).
(c) Do an inspection of the NLG/fuselage attachments and make sure that:
Subtask 10-20-00-481-052-A (1) With the mooring items that follow:
| DESCRIPTION | ITEM | QUANTITY | LENGTH | MIN ULTIMATE FAILURE LOAD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) | 1 | 2 | 2000 mm (78.74 in.) | 12945 daN (29102 lbf) |
| JOKER HOOK (SEE TABLE) | 2 | 2 | / | 24271 daN (54563 lbf) |

| GROUND MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) | 6 | 4 | / | 15691 daN (35275 lbf) |
NOTE: The manufacturer of the mooring equipment (shown in the table above) can possibly also supply a minimum ultimate failure-load or a safe working load with a safety factor for the equipment.
The minimum ultimate failure-load is the load at which equipment failure will occur. The safe working load is lower than the minimum ultimate failure-load. To calculate the safe working load, you must use a special safety factor applicable for the initial function of the equipment.
If a safe working load is shown on the equipment, you can multiply this load by the safety factor given by the manufacturer to get the minimum ultimate failure-load of the equipment.
You must then make sure that the calculated minimum ultimate failure-load is equal to or more than the value given in the table above for the related equipment.
Here is an example:
The ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) has a safe working load of 5000 daN (11240 lbf).
A safety factor of 7 is given by the manufacturer.
Minimum ultimate failure-load = 5000 daN x 7 = 35000 daN (78683 lbf).
The minimum permitted failure-load of the ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) for this configuration (as shown in the above table) is 12945 daN (29102 lbf). The equipment is thus serviceable.

NOTE: The ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) are continuous loops. The ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) minimum failure load relates to its load as a single loop.
NOTE: It is not necessary to use the STEEL SHACKLE (SEE TABLE) (5) in the system. If you do not use the STEEL SHACKLE (SEE TABLE) (5), use the ratchet mechanism (7) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) to attach the two ends of the lashing-strap (4) together. But we recommend that you use the STEEL SHACKLE (SEE TABLE) (5) to make installation easier.
(a) Wind two ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) around the NLG sliding tube and below the axles. (b) Pull each ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) to a point that is in line with the centerline of the sliding tube (make sure that each section of the ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) is of equal length). Then attach them to the JOKER HOOK (SEE TABLE) (2).
(c) Attach the JOKER HOOK (SEE TABLE) (2) to the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3).
(d) Get one lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) and put one of its ends through the GROUND MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (6).
(e) Put other end of the lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) through the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3). Move the two loose ends of the lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) to a point in the middle between the GROUND MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (6) and the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3).
(f) Connect the two ends of the lashing-strap (4) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) together with the STEEL SHACKLE (SEE TABLE) (5).
(g) Do steps (d) thru (f) again for each ground-master-ring position.
(h) Use the ratchet mechanism (7) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) (to lightly pull each lashing-strap (4) so that it is not loose. Make sure that the last lateral position of the STEEL MASTER RING (SEE TABLE) (3) is in the axis of the centerline of the sliding tube.
NOTE: The function of the ratchet mechanism (7) of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) is to make sure that the lashing-straps (4) are not loose but not to put tension in the system.
(i) Make sure that the lashing-strap axes of the STRAP RATCHET (SEE TABLE) are in the ground-master-ring position area. (2) Post Mooring Inspection

The minimum ultimate failure-load is the load at which equipment failure will occur. The safe working load is lower than the minimum ultimate failure-load. To calculate the safe working load, you must use a special safety factor applicable for the initial function of the equipment.
If a safe working load is shown on the equipment, you can multiply this load by the safety factor given by the manufacturer to get the minimum ultimate failure-load of the equipment.
You must then make sure that the calculated minimum ultimate failure-load is equal to or more than the value given in the table above for the related equipment.
Here is an example:
The ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) has a safe working load of 5000 daN (11240 lbf).
A safety factor of 7 is given by the manufacturer.
Minimum ultimate failure-load = 5000 daN x 7 = 35000 daN (78683 lbf).
The minimum permitted failure-load of the ROUND SLING (SEE TABLE) (1) for this configuration (as shown in the above table) is 12945 daN (29102 lbf). The equipment is thus serviceable.
