3. Job Set-up
Subtask 20-28-00-420-091-A

A. Equipment
(1) MEGOHMETER MULTIRANGE with the applicable leads and prods:

Set the megohmmeter range to a value that is higher than the maximum permitted value of the assembly that you will measure. Refer to (Ref. AMM TASK 20-28-00-869-002).
Set the tension to 500 VDC.

(2) PLATE 1.2 M (4 FT) - STEEL, SQUARED.

4. Procedure
Subtask 20-28-00-210-064-A

A. Measurement of the Resistance Value
(1) Put the PLATE 1.2 M (4 FT) - STEEL, SQUARED between the tires of the nose landing gear and the ground.
(2) Measure the resistance between the plate and the nose gear leg with a MEGOHMETER MULTIRANGE.

NOTE: This procedure is easier if you make the tire/plate contact moist.

(3) Make sure that the measured values are not higher than the maximum permitted resistance-values (Ref. AMM TASK 20-28-00-869-002).
(4) Remove the test equipment.
