*
Supplies lateral separation between LD-3 containers, K and N size pallets
*
Supplies longitudinal guidance for LD-3/LD-1 containers, K and N size pallets.
Location
Center guides are along the center of each cargo compartment. The guides are in the area of the ball panels and in the areas forward and aft of the ball panels.

CARGO HANDLING SYSTEM -CENTER GUIDE -OPERATION
Physical Description
Center guides are spring-loaded mechanical devices. They have these parts:
*
Vertical restraints (movable)
*
Housing
*
Base
*
Spring
*
Lock lever
*
Lock cam
*
Roller (2).
Functional Description
The spring in the base makes sure that the housing stays in the up position. The housing and the lock cam pivot together in the forward or aft direction. A lock lever spring (not shown) makes sure that the lock lever continues to touch the lock cam as it rotates.
The vertical restraints are spring-loaded devices. They are shown in there usual position.
Operation
You push the center guide all the way down (forward or aft) to lock it down. When the guide is all the way down, the lock lever engages one of two flats on the lock cam. This holds the center guide in the down position.
You push the lock lever to let the center guide move up.
Training Information Point
The center guides are for LD-3 and LD-1 containers. Other ULDs move over or to the sides of the center guides.
When you load pallets, they will hit the right side of the center guides in the ball panel area. You must lock the center guides down in the ball panel area when you load pallets.
The guide is spring-loaded to up. Thus, when you lock or unlock a center guide, it will come up quickly when the lock is disengaged.

CARGO HANDLING SYSTEM -PARTIAL LOAD STOPS -INTRODUCTION
Purpose
Partial load stops give longitudinal restraint for containers when container loading is not continuous in the cargo compartment.
Location
Partial load stops are in many places in the forward and aft cargo compartments. In both cargo compartments, the stops attach to the four roller trays adjacent to the longitudinal PDUs.
The partial load stops are in rows. Each row has four stops.

CARGO HANDLING SYSTEM -PARTIAL LOAD STOPS -OPERATION
Physical Description
Partial load stops are spring-loaded mechanical units. There are six types of partial load stops that are almost the same (not all shown). Most partial load stops are single units, but some may be part of a stop/lock unit (not shown).
Each partial load stop has these parts:
*
Lockhead
*
Base
*
Fork
*
Springs (not shown).
Operation
You manually put the lockhead up to the STOP position to restrain a partial load of containers. The lockhead is spring loaded to down so you must lift the lockhead until the fork locks the lockhead in the STOP position.
You manually put down the lockhead to load more containers or to unload a partial load of containers. The lockhead will go down by itself when you lift the fork.
Training Information Point
When you put the lockhead down, it is easier if you hold the lockhead as you lift the fork. This lets you get the fork up all the way and your fingers out of the way of the lockhead before the lockhead goes down.
