3. Job Set-up
Subtask 12-12-29-860-053-A
A. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
WARNING: OBEY THE HYDRAULIC SAFETY PROCEDURES.
   (1) Obey the hydraulic safety procedures (Ref. AMM TASK 29-00-00-910-002).
   (2) Make sure that the hydraulic systems are depressurized and put them in the maintenance configuration
(Ref. AMM TASK 29-00-00-864-001).
NOTE: Do not depressurize the system reservoirs.
   (3) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
   (4) Make sure that the aircraft is in this configuration:
  • The speed brakes and the spoilers are retracted
  • The thrust reversers are stowed (closed)
  • The landing gear is extended and the landing gear doors are closed
NOTE: One main landing gear door may be kept open.
  • The forward and aft cargo-compartment doors 825 and 826 are closed
  • All the other hydraulically controlled systems are in the normal position.
Subtask 12-12-29-010-056-A
B. Get Access
   (1) Open access panel 197CB.
   (2) Open the left and right Main Landing Gear (MLG) doors (Ref. AMM TASK 32-12-00-010-001).
   (3) Put the ACCESS PLATFORM 2M (6 FT) in position.
Subtask 12-12-29-210-053-A
C. Inspection of the Pressure Values
   (1) Make sure that the nitrogen fill pressure of the brake accumulator 2582GM is correct (Ref. AMM TASK 32-44-11-200-001).
   (2) Make sure that the hydraulic accumulators 1070GM, 2070GM and 3070GM have a nitrogen pressure of 130 bar (1885.4901 psi) at 20 DEG.C (68.00 DEG.F).
   (3) If necessary, adjust the nitrogen pressure (Ref. AMM TASK 12-14-29-614-001).
   (4) Make sure that the pressure on the indicator of the related reservoir is 3.5 -0 bar or +0.3 bar (50.7632 -0 psi or +4.3511 psi). If necessary, pressurize the reservoir (Ref. AMM TASK 29-14-00-614-002).
NOTE: If you pressurize the Hydraulic Reservoir with the APU, the Hydraulic Reservoir pressure will be approximately 1.65 bar (24 psi).
Subtask 12-12-29-863-051-A
D. Pressurization of the Auxiliary Braking System
   (1) Pressurize the Yellow hydraulic system with the E-pump (Ref. AMM TASK 29-24-00-863-001) to pressurize the brake accumulator system to 206 bar (2987.7766 psi).
   (2) On the panel 110VU, put the parking brake control switch 73GG to the ON position.
   (3) Make sure that the pressure on the triple indicator 60GG shows the left and right pressure values.
   (4) Close the left and right MLG doors (Ref. AMM TASK 32-12-00-410-001).
   (5) Depressurize the Yellow hydraulic system (Ref. AMM TASK 29-24-00-864-001).
NOTE: Do not depressurize the alternate braking system.
   (6) Put the WARNING NOTICE(S) in the cockpit to tell persons not to pressurize the hydraulic systems.
4. Procedure
Subtask 12-12-29-611-053-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Fill the Hydraulic Reservoirs (Refer to the Tables)
   (1) Connect the CART - SERVICING, HYDRAULIC:
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU CONNECT THE GROUND HYDRAULIC CART. MAKE SURE THAT THE SUPPLY PRESSURE AND THE FLOW RATE ARE LESS THAN THESE LIMITS:
  • THE SUPPLY PRESSURE MUST BE LESS THAN 30 BAR (435.1132 PSI).
  • THE FLOW RATE MUST BE LESS THAN 12L/MIN (3.1700 US GAL/MIN).
IF THE SUPPLY PRESSURE AND THE FLOW RATE ARE MORE THAN THESE LIMITS, DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.
     (a) Remove the blanking cap.
     (b) Connect a hydraulic service cart with the Phosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluid-General Power - - (Material No.02ABA1) to the reservoir fill connection 1007GM.
NOTE: Do not use the Phosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluid-General Power - - (Material No.02ABA1) for Outside Air Temperature (OAT) on ground below -40 deg.C (-40 deg.F).
   (2) Turn the selector valve 1134GQ to the correct position of the related hydraulic system which you will fill.
   (3) Make sure that on the quantity indicator 1834GQ the colored light of the related system comes on.
   (4) Get the reservoir temperature using one of the methods:
     (a) Read out reservoir temperature through ACMS RTM (Real Time Monitoring) and use the related AIDS label call-up:
       1 For the reservoir of the Green hydraulic system - 029/1/172/01/08,
       2 For the reservoir of the Yellow hydraulic system - 029/1/172/10/08,
       3 For the reservoir of the Blue hydraulic system - 029/1/172/11/08.
Refer to (Ref. AMM TASK 31-36-00-740-008) to get access to the parameter call-up menus.
     (b) As an alternative to previous method, use the THERMOMETER-INFRARED to record the hydraulic fluid temperature.
NOTE: Measure the temperature on the lower part of the reservoir in the range of the fluid level.
     (c) As different alternative use the OAT (Outside Air Temperature), if the aircraft was parked for last 3h before servicing.
   (5) Operate the hydraulic service cart:
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT PUT TOO MUCH FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. IF THE RESERVOIR IS TOO FULL, YOU CANNOT PRESSURIZE IT SUFFICIENTLY. LOW AIR PRESSURE CAN CAUSE THE MESSAGE "RSVR LO AIR PR" TO SHOW IN FLIGHT ON THE UPPER AND LOWER ECAM DISPLAY UNITS.
     (a) Operate the hydraulic service cart with a minimum output pressure of 7 bar (101.5264 psi).
     (b) Make sure that:
  • The output pressure is not more than 30 bar (435.1131 psi)
  • The flow rate is not more than 12 l.min (3.1700 USgal.mn).
     (c) Monitor the increase of the fluid level of the related system on the quantity indicator and do these steps:
       1 Stop the flow of the hydraulic fluid when the pointer is almost to the fill level given in the table 2 (HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR FILLING CAPACITIES).
       2 Slowly continue to fill again until the pointer shows almost the fill level given in the table 2 (HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR FILLING CAPACITIES).
NOTE: Each open MLG door decreases the volume in the green reservoir by 0.25 l (0.0660 USgal).
NOTE: Each open cargo door decreases the volume in the yellow reservoir by 0.2 l (0.0528 USgal).

       3 After servicing of the reservoir, refer to previous work step:
  • The cockpit reservoir full level is permitted to be above the normal full limit, if the reservoir level has been adjusted before or the reservoir gauge on the ground service panel is according to the table 2 (HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR FILLING CAPACITIES).
   (6) If the reservoir is filled too much, drain the unwanted hydraulic fluid:
   (7) Turn the selector 1134GQ to the NEUTRAL position.
   (8) Make sure that the colored light on the quantity indicator 1834GQ goes off.
   (9) Disconnect the hydraulic service cart from the reservoir fill connection 1007GM and install the blanking cap.
   (10) If you filled the hydraulic system after:
  • Maintenance
  • Removal/installation of hydraulic components
  • Hydraulic fluid low level (loss of the hydraulic system)
  • High loss of hydraulic fluid:
     (a) Use the related bleeding procedure as follows:

     (a) Remove the blanking cap.
     (b) Connect a hydraulic service cart with the Phosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluid-General Power - - (Material No.02ABA1) to the reservoir fill connection 1007GM.
NOTE: Do not use the Phosphate Ester Hydraulic Fluid-General Power - - (Material No.02ABA1) for Outside Air Temperature (OAT) on ground below -40 deg.C (-40 deg.F).
NOTE: It is not permitted to use high-density fluid Skydrol 500B-4.
   (2) Turn the selector valve 1134GQ to the correct position of the related hydraulic system which you will fill.
   (3) Make sure that on the quantity indicator 1834GQ the colored light of the related system comes on.
   (4) Get the reservoir temperature using one of the methods:
     (a) Read out reservoir temperature through ACMS RTM (Real Time Monitoring) and use the related AIDS label call-up:
       1 For the reservoir of the Green hydraulic system - 029/1/172/01/08,
       2 For the reservoir of the Yellow hydraulic system - 029/1/172/10/08,
       3 For the reservoir of the Blue hydraulic system - 029/1/172/11/08.
Refer to (Ref. AMM TASK 31-36-00-740-008) to get access to the parameter call-up menus.
     (b) As an alternative to previous method, use the THERMOMETER-INFRARED to record the hydraulic fluid temperature.
NOTE: Measure the temperature on the lower part of the reservoir in the range of the fluid level.
     (c) As different alternative use the OAT (Outside Air Temperature), if the aircraft was parked for last 3h before servicing.
   (5) Operate the hydraulic service cart:
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT PUT TOO MUCH FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. IF THE RESERVOIR IS TOO FULL, YOU CANNOT PRESSURIZE IT SUFFICIENTLY. LOW AIR PRESSURE CAN CAUSE THE MESSAGE "RSVR LO AIR PR" TO SHOW IN FLIGHT ON THE UPPER AND LOWER ECAM DISPLAY UNITS.
     (a) Operate the hydraulic service cart with a minimum output pressure of 7 bar (101.5264 psi).
     (b) Make sure that:
  • The output pressure is not more than 30 bar (435.1131 psi)
  • The flow rate is not more than 12 l.min (3.1700 USgal.mn).
     (c) Monitor the increase of the fluid level of the related system on the quantity indicator and do these steps:
