If the IDS is too tight, adjust two of the spokes as follows:
1.
Cut off the spoke just above the existing hole on one end only. Then, redrill a new hole centred the
same distance from the new end of the spoke as the other spokes. This will likely produce a good
fit.
2.
If the IDS is still too tight remove another spoke, on the opposite side, and repeat the above steps.
3.
These two spokes are across from each other.
Note:
Newer bucket spoke bolt holes are in the
same location.
See parts section for detailed parts listings.

Load Test on the Hook
Deployment cable adjustment can only be properly assessed on the hook of the helicopter or otherwise
suspended with a full load of water. For this test, with retrofits, the deployment cable is attached to the
middle link of the adjustment chain. Check tension in the deployment cable. Under full load, the
deployment cable should feel relaxed but not slack. The hub should be free to move up or down about 1/2"
(13 mm).
