A. Functional Test of the Pressure-Off Brakes (2):
(1) Cut and remove the lockwire which safeties the plug (3) to the screw (5) at the THS actuator motor (6).
(2) Remove the plug (3) from the manual drive input of the THS actuator (1).
(3) Remove and discard the O-ring (4) from the plug (3).
(4) Use a torque wrench to between 10.0 and 1.0 m.daN (884.96 and 88.50 lbf.in )
for the subsequent test.
(5) Put the torque wrench in position at the manual drive input, apply a torque of minimum 7.2 m.daN (53.10 lbf.ft). Make sure that the pressure-off brakes do not move.
(7) Apply Synthetic base Lubricating Oil-Turbine Engine Low Temp. - (Material No.03ABB1) to the new AIPC 27-44-51-02-100 O-RING (4).
(8) Use the 0U145506 CONE-MOUNTING, THS ACTUATOR and put the O-ring (4) on the plug (3).
(9) Install the plug (3) in the manual drive input.
(10) TORQUE the plug (3) to between 1.6 and 1.4 m.daN (11.80 and 10.32 lbf.ft )
.
(11) Safety the plug (3) to the screw (5) at the motor (6) with lockwire 0.6 mm (0.024 in.).
5. Close-up(1) Cut and remove the lockwire which safeties the plug (3) to the screw (5) at the THS actuator motor (6).
(2) Remove the plug (3) from the manual drive input of the THS actuator (1).
(3) Remove and discard the O-ring (4) from the plug (3).
(4) Use a torque wrench to between 10.0 and 1.0 m.daN (884.96 and 88.50 lbf.in )
for the subsequent test. (5) Put the torque wrench in position at the manual drive input, apply a torque of minimum 7.2 m.daN (53.10 lbf.ft). Make sure that the pressure-off brakes do not move.
NOTE: The static break-out torque must be a minimum of 7.2 m.daN (53.10 lbf.ft).
(6) Remove the torque wrench. - If the static break-out torque is between 6.5 m.daN (47.94 lbf.ft) and 7.2 m.daN (53.10 lbf.ft), replace the THS actuator in less than 600FH or 750FC or 100 days (Ref. AMM TASK 27-44-51-000-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 27-44-51-400-001). Do the replacement in the limits that come first.
- If the static break-out torque is less than 6.5 m.daN (47.94 lbf.ft), replace the THS actuator before next flight (Ref. AMM TASK 27-44-51-000-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 27-44-51-400-001).
(7) Apply Synthetic base Lubricating Oil-Turbine Engine Low Temp. - (Material No.03ABB1) to the new AIPC 27-44-51-02-100 O-RING (4).
(8) Use the 0U145506 CONE-MOUNTING, THS ACTUATOR and put the O-ring (4) on the plug (3).
(9) Install the plug (3) in the manual drive input.
(10) TORQUE the plug (3) to between 1.6 and 1.4 m.daN (11.80 and 10.32 lbf.ft )
. (11) Safety the plug (3) to the screw (5) at the motor (6) with lockwire 0.6 mm (0.024 in.).
