HAL® BUILDING KIT [HAL® BK]

FOREWORDEach EOD incident (see Note 1) is unique in terms of device, target, physical environment and disposal tactics. Whether in a peacetime urban setting or a battlefield combat scenario, successful EOD action is invariably the outcome of a number of small steps properly carried out in sequence. Each step is likely to involve a combination of technique and equipment. However, there is seldom one single action or item of equipment which will ensure success on its own.

The Hook and Line (HAL®) system is recognized internationally as an integral and essential component of EOD capability and is designed to operate effectively during all types of EOD tasks. HAL® provides the operator with an expanded range of options to enable the EOD task to be completed successfully. In particu-lar the use of HAL® and associated semi-remote techniques enhance operator safety by reducing the number and duration of manual approaches.

NOTES:1� The term Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) is used in this manual to

cover all types of EOD tasks, including Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) and Conventional Munitions Disposal (CMD)� For more information on this aspect, see the HAL® Tactical Procedures Manual�

2� All measurements in this manual are given in metric units� Convesions to imperial units are approximate�

3� In this manual the terms “snatch block” and “pulley” are synonymous�

SAFETYWarningDo not use any of this equipment before carefully reading the following. If, after reading, you do not understand this warning, do not use the equipment without first obtaining clarification from Med-Eng. Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Explo-sive Search Activities, and Mine Clearance are high risk activities. You must be fully trained and aware of the operational characteristics of this equipment before using it in these environments.

GENERAL WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND LIABILITY

Warnings1� Handling of IEDs� Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are characteristically unpredictable in operation and may detonate if moved. Unnecessary handling of a suspect IED should be avoided unless the condition of the item is known or handling forms part of the chosen Render Safe Procedure.

2� Handling of UXO� Items of conventional Unexploded Explosive Ordnance (UXO) are commonly found to be in an unsafe condition. Unnecessary handling of UXO should be avoided unless the condition of the item is known or handling forms part of the chosen Render Safe Procedure.

3� Positive EOD Action� The term “positive EOD action” includes all work car-ried out during an EOD task that may during its process cause an IED or UXO to function. This includes the intentional use of equipment to either disrupt or move an IED / UXO or suspected IED. Positive EOD action will normally require a pre-warning from the bomb technician and no positive action should be carried out until all personnel in the vicinity have taken suitable precautions to ensure their own safety in the event of functioning of the IED or UXO. Since an IED, or item of UXO which is in an unsafe condition, is most likely to function prematurely in response to an external stimulus, all positive EOD action should be conducted remotely (i.e. from a safe distance), as far as possible.

4� Place of Safety� The bomb technician and all associated personnel should be in a place of safety (i.e. behind or under protective cover or located at a safe distance) when positive EOD action is taken. This includes any pull using Hook

HAL® BUILDING KIT [HAL® BK]

5� Magnetic Signature� All items of Hook & Line equipment selected for use in close proximity to magnetically-actuated UXO, or UXO suspected of being magnetically-actuated, must be confirmed as being non-magnetic in accordance with nationally prescribed standards.

Cautions1� Safety Rules� The disposal of IEDs and UXO is inherently dangerous. Strict adherence to safety disciplines and practices is necessary at all times to ensure the saftey of the general public and the operator.

2� Training� Only qualified bomb technicians or specialist search operators should carry out operations involving the use of Hook & Line rigging techniques. Supplementary training in Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) and Conventional Munitions Disposal (CMD) techniques may be required in order to use Hook & Line equipment effectively.

3� Written Instructions� The instructions contained in the manual must always be read and understood before using Hook & Line equipment.

4� Worst Case Scenario� The bomb technician must always allow for a worst case scenario during any positive EOD action.

5� National Variations� The philosophy and procedures for dealing with IEDs and UXO vary from country to country. The examples given in this manual are for guidance only – the use of Hook & Line equipment should be adjusted to conform to national rules.

6� HAL® Deployment� Only those HAL® items required for the task should be taken into the target area. Major revisions to the rigging plan should be avoided once in the target area.

7� Secondary Devices� During operations always consider the possibility that secondary devices are present in the surrounding area. Obvious natural and man-made features which could provide HAL® anchor points should be checked.

8� Proper Application� This equipment is intended for use by trained EOD per-sonnel for EOD operations. It is not intended and should never be used for any industrial application. When using equipment to lift as part of an EOD Action, the bomb technician and all associated personnel must provide clearance under-neath and around any object suspended with this equipment.

Liability The nature and precise outcome of EOD, including IEDD operations, cannot be predicted and it is essential that all users are confident and fully competent in the correct methods and procedures. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that all items of HAL® equipment meet the highest standards of quality and safety, Med-Eng assumes no liability for any injuries to personnel or damage to property arising from the use of the equipment.

WORKING LOAD LIMITATIONSAlthough the practical implications of this subject are minimal, all personnel using HAL® equipment should be at least familiar with the relevant descrip-tive terms and basic load calculations in order to ensure that equipment is not stressed beyond safe limits.

The terms used in this series of manuals are as follows:

a. Maximum Load is the load rating (i.e. without a Factor of Safety applied) at which the item will cease to function within its design specification or, from an end-user perspective, the point beyond which it is prone to failure. The terms Breaking Strength or Ultimate Strength are synonymous.

b. Factor of Safety (FOS)� The FOS varies for different applications and is ap-plied by the operator. For general purpose use (including lifting) an appropriate FOS has been determined through independent testing and reviewed by a team of experienced end users. For towing or dragging purposes a FOS of 2 has been found to be sufficient. The terms Design Factor and FOS are synonymous.

c. Safe Working Load (SWL)� The SWL is calculated by dividing the maximum load (breaking strength) by the FOS.

NOTE: The term Working Load Limit (WLL) is often used when discuss-ing load limitations� However there is some ambiguity with respect to the definition of WLL in various regions of the world and, for this reason, it is not used in this manual�

The maximum pulling force which can be exerted by an operator under normal conditions is approximately 75 kg (165 lb). Most objects, devices and munitions to be moved, handled or manipulated using HAL® semi-remote techniques will weigh less than this amount and require a lower force to be applied.

HAL® BUILDING KIT [HAL® BK]

It is important to have a basic understanding of static and dynamic loading. A static load is a stationary load or one that is in a steady state (i.e. at rest) where-as a dynamic load varies in intensity. Whenever a load is picked up, stopped, moved or swung - for instance during HAL® rigging tasks - there is an increased force due to dynamic loading and this can affect safety. When high dynamic load-ing is expected a higher FOS must be applied by the operator.

In addition shock (or impact) loads, defined as a load resulting from rapid or sudden change of movement (e.g. impacting, snatching, jerking, violent swinging or sudden release of tension), are generally significantly greater than static and even dynamic loads. Shock loading should be avoided wherever possible as it may exceed the SWL or possibly the Maximum Load.

The maximum load ratings of individual components in HAL® kits vary. However, the majority provide an ample FOS for towing, dragging and similar rigging meth-ods involving the movement of items up to 75 kg (165 lb) where the weight of the item remains partially supported by other means (e.g. resting on the ground). The FOS is more relevant when objects weighing close to this maximum are lifted or moved directly by lightweight HAL® equipment. In this case, the operator should be guided by the technical information in this manual and their own common sense and experience when selecting suitable components.

In order to ensure that all equipment is able to function within design specifica-tion, it is essential that all components are checked as being fully serviceable and in good condition prior to use. Equipment that is damaged should not be used for any load-bearing tasks.

When the load limitations of the HAL® GS, GS Lite, BK, VK, AK and associated accessory kits are likely to be exceeded, the HAL® Heavy Duty (HD) kit and 1 Line Tripod should be used instead.

It is recognized that, during operational tasks, it may not be possible or feasible to calculate loads accurately and that different risk assessment criteria will apply. In these circumstances an experienced operator will be able to apply common sense to ensure the task is completed successfully and safely.

TOLERANCESResults published are typical and may vary by +/- 5%.

DOORWAY BRACE AND DOOR OPENER

The doorway brace is an extending metal brace (or spreader bar) devised for quick installation across doorways, windows and other openings.

It has telescopic adjustment, a simple locking mechanism, and final screw adjustment. With integral spiked feet and optional slip-over rubber feet, it can easily be installed without the aid of tools. The doorway brace can be deployed against openings up to 112 cm (44 inch) and as small as 69 cm (27 inch).

The door opener is secured to the doorway brace, and provides the capability to push open doors remotely. It works best when positioned low. It has a pivot arm fitted with a hydraulic cylinder which, when released by pulling on the single operating line, exerts pressure on the door to open it. The hydraulic arm prevents the door from closing again.

For convenience, the door opener is already secured to the doorway brace when the HAL® Building Kit is shipped.

Figure 3: Doorway Brace and Door OpenerThe door opener can be adjusted on the doorway brace for maximum efficiency using the screw locks located on the underside.

The opening operation is most efficient against a left hand hinged door, but will operate effectively against a right hand hinged door.

SNATCH-BLOCK SELF-OPENING PULLYThe snatch block has a selectable release (break-away) mechanism that frees the line at a pre-determined point. A hinged cheek is retained in the closed position by a spring return plunger. As the line is pulled through the snatch block a splitter ball clamped to the line, trips open the hinged cheek to eject the line. A ramp on the fixed cheek ensures that the line is completely ejected from the sheave (snatch block wheel). The snatch block has a swivel snap shackle at the top for quick and easy attachment and prevent line binding/fouling. It also has an eyelet for connecting further snatch blocks to utilise mechanical advantage.

The snatch block has a locking mechanism allowing it to be used as a normal fixed snatch block. The snatch block is used to change the direction of pull of the line when manoeuvring objects around obstacles or corners. In combination with a splitter ball it enables multiple changes in direction using a single main line. A steady pull is sufficient to release the line (with splitter ball fitted) from the snatch block.

SELF-ADHESIVE ANCHOR PADSA 80 mm square aluminum pad with a hard eye and adhesive backing. Eight (8) holes are provided in the base for use of a screw or other, more permanent, fastener, when required. The pad can be rigged quickly as an anchor point. It is most effective when fixed to flat, clean, dry, non-porous surfaces. It should be placed in position with a steady firm pressure and a minimum time period of 5 minutes should elapse before loading. When possible, the strength of the adhesive bond should be tested before a live load is applied. Test results show, that on a smooth clean metal surface a maximum load of up to 70 kg (154 lbs)can be achieved. The maximum load bearing strength of the Anchor Pad is achieved when the force being applied is perpendicular to the load bearing surface (i.e. achieved with a straight line pull).

DOOR HANDLE CLAMP

The door handle clamp is secured around a door knob.

During operation, the following should occur:• As the line tensions, the door handle clamp should rotate the door

handle and release the door catch.• Tension then transfers to the trigger arm on the door opener which, as it

moves, releases the retaining arm which in turn releases the hydraulic pivot arm.

• The hydraulic pivot arm pushes the door open and, as the door moves, the line releases from the trigger thereby allowing the door to open more fully.

Note: On occasion the line may not release from the trigger, however this does not hinder operation�

Figure 17: Door Open

Important Notes on Operation:

1. The horizontal separation distance between the door handle and the trigger must be maximized in order to provide the correct line of pull to operate the trigger. If used on a right hand hinged door, care must also be taken to ensure the pivot arm is not set too close to the hinges.

2. When deploying on a door of either side hinge, rigging the line using the hard eye directly beneath the door handle is the recommended method.

3. The position of the rotating wheel at the end of the pivot arm can be adjusted by pulling the pin, in order to reduce the separation distance between the arm and the door.

REMOVAL

The rig is removed from the doorway by disconnecting the line, undoing the door handle clamp and releasing the tension on the doorway brace.

RESETTING

The door opener is best reset or ‘cocked’ when mounted on the doorway brace, and is still rigged across a doorway. If not, then the doorway brace should be braced against a hard surface or foot. It is essential to ensure the safe-to-arm switch fully engages – the position of the pin in the trigger mechanism can be seen clearly during the resetting process.

CAUTION: Inadvertent release of arm during resetting may cause personal injury�
