HOOK-PILE TAPE LOWERING LINE (MAWC)9-43. Inspect the hook-pile tape lowering line, when rigged with a MAWC, by taking the following actions: With the index finger of the right hand, place it on the hook-pile tape lowering line (HPTLL) just to the left of the girth hitch. Visually inspect to ensure the girth hitch is properly routed north to south, south to north, but never east to west. With the right index finger, trace the HPTLL, ensuring that the HPTLL is properly routed over the left adjustable shoulder carrying strap until making contact with the first set of hook-pile tabs. Visually inspect to ensure the hook-pile tabs are present, secured, and there are no S-folds protruding from the end of the retainer flap. Continue to inspect down the retainer flap ensuring that it is secured to the MOLLE rucksack frame by two sets of girth hitched retainer bands on either end of the retainer flap. Continue to trace down until making contact with the second set of hook-pile tabs. Once again ensure they are present, secured, and there are no S-folds protruding from the end of the retainer flap. Continue to trace the HPTLL until the index finger disappears behind the modular Airborne weapon’s case. Visually inspect to ensure the HPTLL is properly routed between the main body of the modular Airborne weapon’s case and the attachment strap. Leave the right index finger in place. Route the left hand over the right forearm and secure the trail edge of the MAWC and pull it forward. Make a mental note of where the right index finger is, remove the right index finger and place it back on the HPTLL where it just was. Continue to trace up until making contact with the ejector snap, ensuring the HPTLL is not routed through the carrying handle. With the right thumb press in on the activating lever to ensure that it is properly seated over the ball detent, free of all foreign matter that will keep it from seating completely, the opening gate is facing the jumper, and is secured to the triangle link. Turn the ejector snap one-quarter turn away from the jumper to ensure the small tooth is present. Visually inspect the yellow safety lanyard to ensure that it is serviceable and it has not been wired, tied, or taped down. Drop both hands and move back to the front of the jumper and issue the command, “SQUAT.”
