Manual RHGSE Operation and Maintenance Manual
If shop air is unavailable remove the water and dry out the Rotatub extend the cable into the empty tub and let
dry. Retract the cable onto the helicopter hoist with the brake handle applied using a gloved hand and a clean
cloth to dry the cable.
6.13) Using the Lubridryer
After extending the cable into the Rotatub, and filling the Rotatub with water, then applying the brake handle,
and just prior to running the cable up into the helicopter hoist, attach an airline to the airline connection located
at the back of the Lubridryer. The air pressure required is 30 psi or 2 bar minimum. The air supply can be turned
on or off via a ball valve. Replace the Lubridryer pads to clean off any excess salt and turn on the valve attached
to the back of the Lubridryer.
The compressed air will force the majority of the water off the cable prior to leaving the Lubridryer.
6.14) Removing the cable from the RHGSE
Remove the hitch pins from their storage hole and rotate the tensioner assemblies away from the capstans and
reinstall the hitch pins to hold the tensioner wheel off the cable. Unwrap the cable from the capstans and
carefully remove the twist by lifting the hook out of the spooler slot and placing it hook facing down into the slot.
Retract the remaining cable onto the helicopter hoist using a glove hand to apply tension and being careful not
to catch the cable on the RHGSE or anything else. Store the hook fully as per the manufacturers' instructions.
6.15) Changing the capstans to accommodate a different cable size.
(Optional if purchased different capstans to accommodate for a different size cable)
Remove the capstans and mark them according to their location, i.e. top or bottom. Install the different capstans
using the screws that were removed. Check the wrapping of the cable to ensure the cable stays tight on the
capstans.
