F. Deactivation of the Thrust Reverser System for Ground Maintenance
WARNING: YOU MUST DEACTIVATE THE THRUST REVERSER BEFORE YOU DO WORK ON OR AROUND IT. IF YOU DO NOT, THE THRUST REVERSER CAN OPERATE ACCIDENTALLY AND CAUSE AN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.
   (1) Do the deactivation of the thrust reverser system for ground maintenance (Ref. AMM TASK 78-30-00-040-805).

   (2) Put an ACCESS PLATFORM 1M(3 FT) in position.
4. Procedure
CAUTION: ENGAGE THE IDG DISCONNECT MECHANISM WITH THE DISCONNECT RESET RING BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. IF NOT YOU WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE DOG TEETH, AT ENGINE START.
CAUTION: DO NOT PUSH THE IDG DISCONNECT PUSHBUTTON SWITCH FOR MORE THAN 3 SECONDS. THERE MUST BE AT LEAST 60 SECONDS BETWEEN TWO OPERATIONS OF THE SWITCH. THIS IS TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE DISCONNECT SOLENOID WHICH WILL BECOME TOO HOT.
Subtask 24-21-00-720-063-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Operational Test of the IDG Disconnect and Reconnect (Reset) Function - Engine Static
NOTE: This test is for the system 1. For the other system(s), use the indications between the parentheses.
NOTE: Two persons are necessary to do the test: one person holds the disconnect reset ring while the other person pushes the IDG pushbutton switch in the cockpit on ELEC control panel 35VU.
ACTION
RESULT
1.On ELEC control panel 35VU:
  • Lift the guard and push the IDG1(2) pushbutton switch.

2.On the IDG 1(2):
Remove the screw (3) and disengage the loop clamp (2) from the disconnect reset ring (1).
Slowly pull out the disconnect reset ring (1) to the full limit of travel. Monitor the hand force that is necessary (this force must not be too high). The disconnect mechanism must move freely without hard points.
Let the disconnect reset ring (1) go slowly back to the initial position.
On the IDG 1(2):
  • If you feel a click while you hold the disconnect reset ring, this shows that the disconnect function operates correctly.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS CORRECT RESET OF THE IDG DISCONNECT MECHANISM. IF THE RESET IS NOT CORRECT, YOU MUST REMOVE AND REPLACE THE IDG BEFORE THE NEXT FLIGHT.
3.On the IDG 1(2):
Again, slowly pull out the disconnect reset ring (1) to the full limit of travel.
Let the disconnect reset ring (1) go slowly back to the initial position.
  • Install the loop clamp (2) on the disconnect reset ring (1) and attach the loop clamp with the screw (3). TORQUE the screw to between 22 and 20 lbf.in (0.25 and 0.23 m.daN ) T.
On the IDG 1(2):
  • The force is much less than in step 2.
  • There is no click.
4.On ELEC control panel 35VU:
  • Lower the safety guard of the IDG1(2) pushbutton switch.

NOTE: When you do the first engine start, make sure that the related engine electrical-generation system operates correctly.
NOTE: If you do not get a correct reset of the IDG 1(2) disconnect mechanism after you obeyed the instructions given in steps 1.through 4., you must replace the IDG 1(2).
