A4. The maximum rotation of the A/F 32K-1/1A bomb assembly stand is 360 degrees. A5. The   Aero   64A1   hoisting   bar   is   used   to manually lift Sparrow missiles. A6. When   using   two   Aero   68A   hoisting   bars, 1,000 pounds is the maximum weight that can be lifted. A7. The   HLU-256/E   hoisting   bar   is   used   to manually lift Mk 82 bombs. ADU-399/E GUIDED MISSILE HOISTING BEAM The ADU-399/E guided missile hoisting beam (fig. 9-16) is an aluminum weldment that consists of a beam supported on forklift channels and structural members. These components form the base assembly. Rubber-lined cradles mounted fore and aft on the beam prevent metal-to-metal contact. The cradles have side supports held in position by quick-release pins. When you are loading or unloading the beam, remove the quick-release pins to let the side supports swing down out of the way. There are two adjustable tubular extenders on the fore end of the beam that support a vinyl-covered housing. The housing protects the weapon's radome. Quick-release pins secure the extenders to the beam and the radome protector to the extenders. There are cable hoists mounted on the base assembly and held in the hoisting position by quick-release pins. When the pins are removed, the hoists swing down and forward into the stowed position. The ADU-399/E guided missile hoisting beam is used for ground support handling of the Phoenix missile during aircraft loading/unloading operations. This beam may be used in conjunction with the HLU-196B/E bomb hoist, the A/M32K-1A/1B/1C SATS loader, or the ADU-400/E weapon skid loading adapter. MHU-129/E GUIDED MISSILE HOISTING BEAM The MHU-129/E guided missile hoisting beam (fig. 9-17) is aluminum I-beam with a lifting eye mounted on the top of two removable lifting-shoe assemblies. The shoe assemblies are secured to the lower flange of the beam with quick-release pins designed to engage the forward and aft launch lugs of the Phoenix guided missile. The safety latches in the shoe assemblies secure the beam to the missile. 9-10 Figure 9-16.—ADU-399/E guided missile hoisting beam.
