CAUTION:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE TASKS ON THE WING TRAILING EDGE:
Subtask 27-51-18-420-053-A - DO NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL CABLE RACEWAYS.
- DO NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL CABLE INSTALLATIONS.
- MAKE SURE THAT THE ELECTRICAL CABLES ARE INSTALLED CORRECTLY. INCORRECT INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.
A. Preparation for Installation
(1) Clean the component interface and/or the adjacent area with a Textile-Lint free Cotton - (Material No.14SBA1) made moist with Non Aqueous Cleaner-General - - (Material No.08BAA9) .
(2) Clean the interface of the APPU (3), the APPU adaptor assembly (11), the bolts (2) and the washers (1) with Non Aqueous Cleaner-General - - (Material No.08BAA9) .
(3) Examine the APPU (3) and the interface of the APPU adaptor assembly (11) for damage, cracks and corrosion.
(4) Make sure that the parts retained from the removed component are clean and in the correct condition.
(5) Do an inspection of the component interfaces and the adjacent area.
(6) On a new APPU (3) make sure that:
Subtask 27-51-18-420-052-A (1) Clean the component interface and/or the adjacent area with a Textile-Lint free Cotton - (Material No.14SBA1) made moist with Non Aqueous Cleaner-General - - (Material No.08BAA9) .
