F. Initial Measurement

Installation of the Shim. ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

(1) Remove the bolts (4) and the washers (3).
(2) Measure the distance A between the bracket assy (2) and the cross beam (5).

NOTE: Make sure that the holes of the bracket assy and the cross beam are aligned.

(a) If the distance A is equal to zero, no maintenance action is necessary. Install the washers (3), the bolts (4) and tighten them.
(b) If the distance A is different from zero, do the procedure that follows.

H. Preparation of the Shim

WARNING: WHEN YOU USE COMPRESSED AIR:

USE THE CORRECT PROTECTION (FACE SHIELD OR GOGGLES)
DO NOT POINT THE AIRFLOW AT YOURSELF OR OTHER PERSONS.

LOOSE PARTICLES AND/OR HIGH PRESSURE AIR CAN CAUSE INJURY.

WARNING: DO NOT LET COMPRESSED GAS TOUCH YOUR SKIN. THE GAS CAN GO THROUGH THE SKIN AND MAKE BUBBLES IN THE BLOOD. THIS CONDITION CAN KILL YOU.

(1) Immerse the shim in a solution of:

Surface Pretreatment-Immersion use Nitric Acid Technical - (Material No.10AGB1) 250 ml/l (57.64 cu.in/US gal)
Surface Pretreatment-Immersion use Sodium Dichromate - (Material No.10AGC1) 25 g/l (3.32 oz/US gal)
de-ionized water 750 ml/l (172.93 cu.in/US gal).

NOTE: Make sure that the solution is between 45 deg.C (113.00 deg.F) and 55 deg.C (131.00 deg.F).

(2) Remove the shim from the solution after 20 to 40 minutes.
(3) Flush the shim with cold water.
(4) Flush the shim with hot water then dry it with compressed air.
