A. Removal of the Left-Hand Inflated Escape-Slide

Left-Hand Escape-Slide - Inflated ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

WARNING: BEFORE YOU START WORK ON THE ESCAPE-SLIDE, MAKE SURE THAT THE DOOR IS SAFETIED. THIS PREVENTS SUDDEN MOVEMENT OF THE DOOR AND ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF THE ESCAPE-SLIDE, WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR. SUDDEN MOVEMENT OF THE DOOR AND ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.

(1) Safety the related open passenger/crew door with the safety barrier strap (8).
(2) Remove the inflated escape-slide (7):

CAUTION: DO NOT LET THE INFLATED ESCAPE-SLIDE FALL TO THE GROUND. IF YOU DO, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE:

TO THE INFLATION RESERVOIR, WHICH IS KEPT BELOW THE ESCAPE-SLIDE,
OR TO THE SURFACE MATERIAL.

(a) Carefully pull the electrical harness (22) to disconnect the quick-release connector (23).

NOTE: The quick-release connector (23) is held below the burr-strip (velcro) on the pack-assembly soft-cover (12).

(b) Release the inflated escape-slide (7) from the aircraft:
1 Make sure that the ground area where the escape-slide (7) is lowered is clean and clear from sharp objects.
(c) Pull the mooring line (32) from the girt pocket (33).
(d) Hold the escape-slide (7) with the mooring line (32).
(e) Pull open the burr-strips of the girt-assembly (11).
(f) Pull the handle (31).
(g) Slowly release the mooring line (32):

The girt lace-up joint (34) opens
The girt-assembly releases from the girt bar (10).

(h) Carefully lower the escape-slide (7) to the ground.

NOTE: Two persons are necessary to hold the escape-slide (7) and lower it to the ground.

(3) Remove the girt-bar (10) from the floor fittings (26):
(a) Push the spring pawls (29) and pull the girt bar (10) inboard from the floor fittings (26).
(b) Remove the mooring line (32) from the girt bar (10).
(c) Keep the girt bar (10) with the door.
(4) Set the emergency control-handle (3) to the DISARMED/MANUAL position.
(5) Release the safety barrier strap (8).
(6) Lift the empty pack-assembly soft-cover (12) and close the door with the door control-handle (2) (Ref. AMM TASK 52-10-00-410-001).
(7) Remove the decorative cover (20) from the pack-assembly (13):

NOTE: There are three different types of decorative cover (20) attachment:

Type 1: Burr strip
Type 2: Dual-lock reclosable fastener-strip
Type 3: Spring loaded latches.

The three different types are not interchangeable.
More force is necessary to pull apart dual-lock reclosable fastener-strips than for burr-strips. You hear a continual click sound as the two halves are pulled apart.

(a) Types 1 and 2:
1 Pull the lower edge of the decorative cover (20) away from the pack-assembly (13) to disengage the spring clips.
2 Carefully pull the top edge of the decorative cover (20) from the attach-strips (16) on the pack-assembly (13) and remove it.
(b) Type 3:
1 Pull the lower edge of the decorative cover (20) away from the pack-assembly (13) 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.
(8) Remove the pack-assembly (13) from the door:
(a) Hold the pack-assembly (13).
(b) Remove the bolts (24) and the washers (25) and keep them with the aircraft.
(c) Let the pack-assembly (13) fall inboard on the supports (14) and hold it.
(d) Disconnect the electrical connectors (15):

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 FOR [7500MM] (ESCAPE SLIDE FWD L)
2871VC-A
2 FOR [7502MM] (ESCAPE SLIDE AFT L)
2873VC-A
(e) Put the CAP-BLANKING on each disconnected electrical connector and receptacle.
(f) Lift the pack-assembly (13) from the supports (14), and remove it from the aircraft.
(9) Procedure out of the aircraft:

CAUTION: KEEP OFF THE INFLATED ESCAPE-SLIDE. IF YOU GO ON IT, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE MATERIAL.

(a) Push in the flapper valves (5) of the aspirator (6) to release the pressure from the escape slide (7).
(b) Remove the broken frangible links.

NOTE: The exposed wire of the broken frangible link can cause damage to the slide inflatable material when the slide is packed.

Start from the bottom end of the deflated escape-slide (7).

(d) Carefully put the escape-slide (7) and the pack-assembly (13) in a clean box without sharp objects.
(e) Send the escape-slide (7) and the pack-assembly (13) for servicing:

To the workshop, or
To the manufacturer.

(10) Record the deployment in the report form (Ref. AMM TASK 25-62-00-910-801).
