Subtask 25-62-44-020-075-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Removal of the Left-Hand Escape-Slide Pack-Assembly (referred to as the pack-assembly)
F Left Escape-Slide Pack-Assembly ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
   (1) Remove the decorative-cover (20) from the pack-assembly (9):
NOTE: There are three different types of decorative-cover (20) attachment:
  • Type 1, burr strip (Velcro)
  • Type 2, dual-lock reclosable fastener-strip
  • Type 3, spring-loaded latches.
The three different types are not interchangeable.
It is necessary to use more force to pull apart dual-lock reclosable fastener-strip than to pull apart burr strip. You hear a continuous click sound when you pull apart the two halves.
     (a) Types 1 and 2:
       1 Pull the bottom edge of the decorative-cover (20) away from the pack-assembly (9) to disengage the spring clips.
       2 Carefully pull the top edge of the decorative-cover (20) from the attach-strips (16) and remove the decorative cover (20).
     (b) Type 3:
       1 Pull the bottom edge of the decorative-cover (20) away from the pack-assembly (9) to disengage the spring clips.
       2 Disengage the spring-loaded bolts (73) and remove the decorative-cover (20).
     (c) Keep the decorative-cover (20) with the aircraft.
   (2) Safety the inflation reservoir of the escape-slide:
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE LOCK PIN IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED IN THE REGULATOR VALVE ASSEMBLY OF THE INFLATION RESERVOIR. THIS SAFETIES ALL COMPONENTS OF THE INFLATION SYSTEM IN OPERATION AND PREVENTS ACCIDENTAL:
  • DISCHARGE OF THE INFLATION RESERVOIR
  • DEPLOYMENT OF THE ESCAPE SLIDE
WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.
     (a) Install the lock pin (18) in the regulator valve assembly (19).
NOTE: The lock pin (18) is in the pocket (75) on the soft-cover (12) of the pack-assembly (9).
   (3) Get access to the girt bar (10) and the floor fittings (26):
CAUTION: DO NOT OPEN THE PASSENGER/CREW DOOR. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL START THE SEQUENCE OF STEPS THAT PULLS THE INFLATABLE ASSEMBLY OUT OF THE PACK-ASSEMBLY.
     (a) Remove the 98D52103500000 SAFETY PIN - SLIDE ARMING (4) and move the emergency control-handle (3) to the ARMED/AUTOMATIC position.
     (b) Carefully lift the door with the door control-handle (2).
     (c) Hold the door in this position and make sure that it does not open fully.
     (d) Remove the girt bar (10):
CAUTION: DO NOT PULL THE GIRT ASSEMBLY. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL OPEN THE PACK ASSEMBLY.
       1 Push the spring pawls (29) to release the girt bar (10).
       2 Pull the girt bar (10) inboard, away from the floor fittings (26).
       3 Put the girt bar (10) on the cabin floor, inboard of the floor fittings (26).
     (e) Carefully lower and lock the door with the door control-handle (2).
     (f) Move the emergency control-handle (3) to the DISARMED/MANUAL position and install the 98D52103500000 SAFETY PIN - SLIDE ARMING (4).
   (4) Remove the pack-assembly (9) from the door:
     (a) Hold the pack-assembly (9).
     (b) Remove the bolts (24) and the washers (25) and keep them with the aircraft.
     (c) Let the pack-assembly (9) fall inboard on the supports (14) and continue to hold it.
     (d) Disconnect the electrical connector:
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR ABRASIVE TOOLS TO CLEAN, DISCONNECT OR CONNECT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. ABRASIVES OR ABRASIVE TOOLS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CORROSION PROTECTION OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.
       1 Disconnect the electrical connector (15):
         a FOR [7500MM] (ESCAPE SLIDE FWD L)
2871VC-A
         b FOR [7502MM] (ESCAPE SLIDE AFT L)
2873VC-A
       2 Put the CAP-BLANKING on each disconnected electrical connector and receptacle.
     (e) Lift the pack-assembly (9) from the supports (14) and put it carefully on the cabin floor.
NOTE: The pack-assembly (9) has a weight of approximately 25.0 kg (55.1156 lb).
   (5) Disconnect the connector (58) between the cable and loop assembly (57) and the cover release-cable (59):
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE CABLE-AND-LOOP ASSEMBLY AND THE COVER RELEASE CABLE IS DISCONNECTED. THIS PREVENTS ACCIDENTAL PACK OPENING DURING REMOVAL, INSTALLATION OR TRANSPORTATION. ACCIDENTAL OPENING CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
     (a) Carefully loosen the sleeve nut until you can remove the ball-end of the cable and loop assembly (57) from the body.
   (6) Remove the girt bar (10) from the girt assembly (11):

     (a) Remove the mooring line (32) from the girt bar (10).
     (b) Carefully pull the girt bar (10) out of the girt assembly (11).
     (c) If you cannot pull the girt bar (10) out of the girt assembly (11), do these steps:
       1 Pull open the burr strips of the girt assembly (11).
       2 Pull the HANDLE (31) and open the lace-up joint (34).
       3 Remove the girt bar (10) from the open girt assembly (11).
     (d) Keep the girt bar (10) with the door.
