1. Planning Information
A. Effectivity
This Service Bulletin is applicable to the Rescue Hoists shown in the table below which use
hook assemblies p/n 44301-420, and 44301-423.
B. Reason
To increase the level of safety in the hook assembly and reduce the chance that the hook
assembly can separate from the hoist cable. This will be accomplished by periodic
inspection of the hook assembly.
C. Description
It was observed that a hook separated from the cable. This was caused by a dual failure;
an internal retaining ring failed and the elastomeric energy absorber (the bumper) took a
compression set. The retaining ring can corrode in a salt-laden environment. This Service
Bulletin provides instructions for the periodic inspection of hook components to prevent
separation of the hook from the cable.
D. Compliance
Incorporation of this Service Bulletin shall be performed within 90 days of its release. This
inspection shall be repeated every 180 days.
E. Approval
This Service Bulletin contains no modification information that revises the approved
configuration. The work performed is in compliance with the existing FAA/EASA approved
configuration.

2. Accomplishment Instructions
A. Apply power to the hoist and use the control pendant to reel out the cable approximately 3 
ft. (1 m) to allow easy maintenance of the hook. Remove power from the hoist.
B. Within five minutes of reeling out the cabl e in step 2.A, measure the elastomeric energy 
absorber (bumper) to verify that it hasn’t taken a permanent compression set (ref Figure 1).
C. If the bumper has taken a permanent compression set, install a new bumper, P/N 42305-
290. Refer to CMM 25-00-21-1 for replacement instructions.
D. Remove the hook assembly (35, Figure 2) by removing the spring retainer (5) and 
unscrewing the hook carrier (10) from the body of the hook assembly and set aside.
E. Push the hoist cable into the cable hook retainer (15, Figure 2) and remove the seal cap 
(40) with attached o-ring (45).
F. Remove and discard the retaining ring (50).
G. If removed, install the spherical seat retainer ring (65, Figure 2) and the split cable retainer 
(60) on the swaged ball end of the rescue hoist cable. Use the rescue hoist cable to pull 
the spherical seat retainer ring (65) and the split cable retainer (60) into the lower disc (55). 
Make sure the assembly is bottomed out in the lower disc (55).
CAUTION: LOSS OF THE RETAINING RING CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SEPARATION OF 
THE HOOK FROM THE HOIST CABLE, POSSIBLY LEADING TO LOSS OF 
THE CABLE LOAD.
H. Install a new retaining ring (50, Figure 2) . Visually inspect retaining ring (50) after 
installation to make sure it is securely installed in its retaining groove (see Figure 3).
I. Install the assembled seal cap (40, Figure 2) with o-ring (45) into the lower disc (55). Make 
sure the o-ring (45) is not damaged during installation.
J. Reinstall the hook by screwing the carrier into the retainer (15, Figure 2) and installing the 
spring retainer (5).
NOTE: The two parts of the carrier (10) and (15) are a matched set (MSL #). When 
reassembling the carrier, do not intermix components between hook assemblies.
K. Apply power to the hoist and reel in the hook to the home position. Remove power from the 
hoist.
