AIR MOBILITY HUEY (UH-1) HARNESS WON'T LOCK?

 TRY THIS FOR SIZE!

 A jammed inertia reel can ruin your whole day -and give pilots a real head-
ache to boot!!
 So, if your favorite throttle jockey says the reel won't lock the shoulder harness
in either the manual or auto position, don't throw the whole kit-and-kabosh
away! Could be that a simple operation will put it back in condition.
 Inside the inertia reel housing is a roller drum that the webbing coils around.
A webbing shield-either plastic or aluminum-keeps the webbing on the
drum and out of the locking mechanism.
 Reels, P/N 0106176-0, with serial numbers between 32,000 and 45,000, have
a plastic webbing shield. This shield sometimes gets a wee bit out of shape. It
can slide off the drum into the locking dog-jamming the reel for real so the
harness won't lock.

 JAMMED?





 Al PULL IT
 OUTI
 When this happens, use a gizmo, gadget, or whatchamacallit to reach behind
the shield and pull it back out of the locking dog area. If the shield comes loose
don't fret-just push it back into position.
 A No. 11 crochet hook makes an ideal tool for this job. You might even try
a knitting needle--knit one, purl two-knit one, purl two ....
 Reels with aluminum shields don't have this trouble.
