Integrated Drive Generator (IDG) Oil-Type Change
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE PARTS AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. USE APPLICABLE THERMAL GLOVES. THE ENGINE PARTS CAN STAY HOT FOR ONE HOUR AFTER SHUTDOWN AND CAN BURN YOU.
WARNING:
WEAR GOGGLES, INSULATED GLOVES AND OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHES.
HOT OIL CAN BURN YOUR EYES AND SKIN.
IF OIL TOUCHES YOUR EYES OR SKIN, GET MEDICAL AID.
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
CAUTION:
DO NOT OPERATE THE IDG:
- IF IT CONTAINS TOO MUCH OIL
- IF IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ENOUGH OIL
CAUTION:
USE ONLY NEW CANS OF OIL WHEN YOU FILL THE IDG WITH OIL OR ADD OIL TO THE IDG.
THE CONTAMINATION IN OIL THAT STAYS IN OPEN CANS CAN CAUSE FAST DETERIORATION OF THE OIL AND WILL DECREASE THE LIFE OF THE IDG.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS THAT CONTAIN CHLORINE TO CLEAN THE EQUIPMENT (PUMP, HOSES, TANK AND FUNNEL) USED TO FILL THE IDG WITH OIL.
CHLORINE CONTAMINATION OF THE OIL CAN CAUSE FAST DETERIORATION OF THE OIL AND WILL DECREASE THE LIFE OF THE IDG.
CAUTION:
DO NOT DO THE SERVICING OF A DISCONNECTED IDG. CONTINUED OPERATION OF A DEFECTIVE IDG CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.
NOTE: Airbus recommends that you do not do the servicing for more than one IDG at a time.

A. Depressurization of the IDG Case
(1) Let the IDG temperature decrease to 120 DEG.F (49 DEG.C) or less before you drain the oil.
(3) Remove the dust cap (4) from the overflow drain half-coupling (5).
(4) Put the end of the overflow drain hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL in the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL) (9).
(5) Do this step to depressurize the IDG case:
(a) Connect the overflow drain hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to the overflow drain half-coupling (5).
Subtask 24-21-00-680-061-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL (1) Let the IDG temperature decrease to 120 DEG.F (49 DEG.C) or less before you drain the oil.
WARNING:
POINT THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HOSE INTO A CONTAINER WHEN YOU CONNECT THE HOSE TO THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HALF-COUPLING. THIS WILL PREVENT BURNS FROM THE HOT OIL SPRAY. HOT OIL CAN CAUSE BURNS TO EYES AND SKIN.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE DEVICES OTHER THAN THE APPROVED OVERFLOW DRAIN-HOSE FITTING. HARD METAL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWDRIVERS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HALF-COUPLING SEAT.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE YOU CONNECT THE HOSE OF THE OVERFLOW DRAIN HALF- COUPLING CORRECTLY. THIS HOSE LETS THE OIL IN THE IDG DRAIN TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. IF THERE IS TOO MUCH OIL IN THE IDG THE IDG WILL BECOME TOO HOT.
(2) Put the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL) (9) below the IDG (6). (3) Remove the dust cap (4) from the overflow drain half-coupling (5).
(4) Put the end of the overflow drain hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL in the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL) (9).
(5) Do this step to depressurize the IDG case:
(a) Connect the overflow drain hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to the overflow drain half-coupling (5).
NOTE: Some oil can come out of the overflow drain hose (10) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL when you connect it.
B. Draining of the IDG Oil
(3) Remove and discard the O-ring (2).
(4) Drain the oil.
(a) If you smell fuel from the drained oil, do the servicing of the IDG (6) (Ref. AMM TASK 24-21-00-612-043).
(b) If you think that the condition of the oil is unsatisfactory, do the sampling of the IDG oil for analysis (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-24-281-001).
(5) Remove the dust cap (3) from the pressure fill half-coupling (7).
(6) Connect the pressure fill hose (8) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to the pressure fill half-coupling (7).
(a) Make sure that the filling pressure is not more than:
(9) Let the oil drain from the case drain until the flow of oil decrease to drops.
(10) Disconnect the pressure fill hose (8) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL from the pressure fill half-coupling (7).
(11) Install the dust cap (3) on the pressure fill half-coupling (7).
Subtask 24-21-00-920-055-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL WARNING:
USE PROTECTIVE GOGGLES AND GLOVES WHEN YOU REMOVE OR INSTALL LOCKWIRE. EACH TIME YOU CUT LOCKWIRE, REMOVE AND DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. LOOSE LOCKWIRE CAN CUT YOU OR MAKE YOU BLIND, AND/OR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.
(1) Cut and discard the lockwire from the case drain plug (1). NOTE: Approximately 3.8 l (1.00 USgal) of oil will flow in the CONTAINER 10 L(2 1/2 USGAL).
(2) Remove the case drain plug (1). (3) Remove and discard the O-ring (2).
(4) Drain the oil.
(a) If you smell fuel from the drained oil, do the servicing of the IDG (6) (Ref. AMM TASK 24-21-00-612-043).
(b) If you think that the condition of the oil is unsatisfactory, do the sampling of the IDG oil for analysis (Ref. AMM TASK 12-32-24-281-001).
(5) Remove the dust cap (3) from the pressure fill half-coupling (7).
(6) Connect the pressure fill hose (8) of the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL to the pressure fill half-coupling (7).
CAUTION:
IF YOU USE THE "DESHONS" TOOL TO FILL THE IDG, MAKE SURE THAT THE FILLING PRESSURE IS NOT MORE THAN 0.5 BAR (7.25 PSI). IF THE FILLING PRESSURE IS HIGHER, IT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VALVE OF THE "DESHONS" TOOL.
(7) Fill the IDG (6) with the FILLING EQUIPMENT - TANK OIL, filled with Synthetic base Lubricating Oil-Turbine Engine - - (Material No.03ABA1) , to flush out the remaining oil: (a) Make sure that the filling pressure is not more than:
- 0.5 bar (7.25 psi), if you use the DESHONS tool
- 2.41 bar (34.95 psi), if you use other tools.
(9) Let the oil drain from the case drain until the flow of oil decrease to drops.
