steel bars, which provide the mounting holes for attaching various adapters. It has two axles and four rubber wheels. The two front wheels are equipped with drum brakes. The brakes are actuated by the brake lever located on the draw bar. The brakes are applied automatically when the spring-loaded brake lever is in the down position. To release the brakes, pull the brake lever upward toward the T on the drawbar. The brakes shoes are actuated through the mechanical linkage located inside the drawbar. The brake lever is continually held in the upward position so the skid can move. Be careful when you release the brake lever; it is spring-loaded and can cause the lever to snap downward. This may result in damage to the mechanical linkage system. The drawbar is attached to the skid by a quick-release pin. This pin also connects the brake linkage between the skid and the brake lever on the drawbar. Two drawbars are available for use with the Aero 21C weapon skid. Use the short drawbar to transport short weapons or when working in an area where a long handle cannot be used. Use the long drawbar to transport long weapons, such as missiles, flare dispensers, or rocket launchers. The skid has an SWL of 5,000 pounds. It is used with various adapters to transport or load weapons, stores, and equipment. The MHU-191/M munitions transporter (fig. 9-33) has a tubular frame with four rubber-tired wheels and a telescoping drawbar. The MHU-191/M is essentially the same as the Aero 21C weapon skid, except that the MHU-191/M has an improved braking system. When equipped with various adapters, it is used to transport and load various weapons, stores and equipment. The MHK-128/M32K-5(V) munitions transporter (fig. 9-34) consists of a frame assembly with 53 pairs of mounting holes, four 14-inch wheels with solid tires, and a retractable or nonretractable drawbar. It has a mechanically actuated deadman and drum brakes on the two front wheels. Release the brake by using the hand lever on the drawbar handle. You steer the transporter by horizontally moving the drawbar. The MHK-128/M32K-5(V) munitions transporter is used with the ADK-362/M32K-5(V) multiweapons adapter to transport a preconfigured multiweapon or single-weapon load from the stowage area to the aircraft. The transporter has a low-frame structure. It can be positioned under low wing stations of an aircraft. The MHK-128/M32K-5(V) munitions transporter has an SWL of 5,000 pounds. It is used with various adapters. Aero 58A Skid Adapter The Aero 58A skid adapter (fig. 9-35) has a front and rear section. These sections are similar in design. The primary difference is the base-the front section has a 10-inch base and the rear section has a 15-inch base, These front and rear sections fit on the rails of the Figure 9-33.—MHU-191/M munitions transporter. 9-22
