1-8A. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODELS.
There are two models of the HTARS covered in this manual, Model HTARS100 and Model HTARS101. Major differences
between the two models are listed below and are described in subsequent paragraphs. Operating and Maintenance
procedures appearing in this manual that are applicable to only one model are identified with the model designation
appearing in the paragraph heading or procedural step. Procedures applicable to both models do not contain either
designation.
Section II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
1-9. EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES.
a.
Characteristics.
(1)
Easily transportable. Hoses are coiled and components are stowed for transport by truck or aircraft.
(2)
Daybreak and quick disconnect couplings allow rapid system assembly and disassembly in daylight and
darkness.
(3)
System can be configured to meet varying mission and site requirements.
(4)
Operates over all types of terrain and hard surfaces, including sand, mud and asphalt.
(5)
No external electrical power source required.
(6)
Lightweight hose material.
(7)
Ground rods provided for each refueling station.
b.Capabilities and Features.
(1)
capacity of four aircraft refueling points. Each refueling point may be operated independently.
(2)
ball valves on hoses, and tees, and elbows on Model HTARS101, control fuel flow. 1 Valves must be set to
CLOSE position before hoses can be connected or disconnected. Valves permit repair, replacement and
adjustment without removal of major assemblies.
(3)
(Model HTARS101). A hose end regulator, built into the single point refueling nozzle (D1), controls fuel
pressure to the aircraft during fueling operations.
(4)
Three different nozzles are provided to adapt the system to various aircraft.
(5)
Recirculation nozzle permits fuel to be circulated from the system back to the HEMTT tanker. A sampling
port on the nozzle permits sampling during recirculation.
1-10. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.
Refer to figure 1-1.
The HTARS consists of hoses, nozzles, tees and elbows needed to connect the HEMTT tanker to the aircraft being
refueled. The following paragraphs describe a typical fueling system. Your mission and operating environment may
require connecting the components in a different configuration than the one shown. All components are interchangeable.
