Tripline Jams on Returning
1. Pull the tripline completely out. Check that the
swaged sleeves at the end of the tripline are not
fouling the cast guide lugs on the head and cover.
2. Round the end of the swage sleeves with a file.
3. If necessary the lower set of cast lugs (closest to the
trip block) on the head act as a safety keeper to
prevent a tripline broken at the top end from causing a
tail rotor strike. The swage blocks should not pass
between them.
Tripline Doesn’t Return
1. Check for a broken spring in the reel. A broken spring is indicated if the tension on the reel
doesn’t increase as the reel is wound, or if the tension increases in jerks or the spring seems to
“slip” inside the reel. See Section 8: Repairs for Spring Reel Replacement.
