8MT-9925-00

Tail gearbox handling procedure

Before hoisting, the sling is secured to the documented points on the tail gearbox and checked for correct engagement. The hoist must remain vertical and controlled so that no side load, twisting or impact is transferred to the gearbox. The sling supports the specific component-handling operation; it does not establish the gearbox mass or approve an alternative lifting arrangement.

The working area should be prepared before the gearbox is released. Personnel must confirm the hoist capacity, attachment condition, balance and clearance from the airframe. Any additional guide lines, stands or protective measures are selected according to the task card. A related product in the same catalog may support the operation without being interchangeable with this sling.

Aircraft-family reference: Mil Mi-8. This external reference does not replace the approved maintenance manual.

Corrected designation conflict

The source Offer List combined 8AT-9800-00 and 8MT-9925-00 in one line. Technical catalogs and maintenance documentation show that they are separate products: 8MT-9925-00 is the tail gearbox lifting sling, while 8AT-9800-00 is a helicopter tow bar. The former combined alternative designation has therefore been removed from this card.

Before use, inspect the shaped frame, welds, wire rope, sleeves, pin, latch and identification plate. Broken strands, kinks, deformation, corrosion, loose fittings or missing locks require withdrawal from service until the sling is assessed under the approved inspection procedure. The 210 kg marking does not override inspection or certification requirements.
