Adjustment of the Interconnecting Strut
WARNING:
PUT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS
- COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND SAFETY-LOCKS ARE IN POSITION ON THE LANDING GEAR. THIS WILL PREVENT UNWANTED MOVEMENT OF THE LANDING GEAR, AND THUS POSSIBLE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND/OR EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE TASKS ON THE WING TRAILING EDGE:
1. Reason for the Job- 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.

(1) Install the 98D27504031000 PIN-SETTING in the inspection/setting hole of the interconnecting strut (3). NOTE: The interconnecting strut (3) can have one or two inspection/setting holes. If there are two, use the hole that is not blocked by the aircraft structure.
(2) If necessary, adjust the actuating rod of the interconnecting strut (3) until you can install the 98D27504031000 PIN-SETTING as follows: (a) If necessary, remove and discard the lockwire from the locknut (1).
(b) Loosen the locknut (1) sufficiently to let you turn the nut (2).
(c) Adjust the nut (2) until you can install the 98D27504031000 PIN-SETTING.
(d) Make sure that you can see the threads of the rod-end (4) through the check hole.
(e) If you cannot see the threads of the rod-end (4) through the check hole, do a check of the flap rigging (Ref. AMM TASK 27-51-00-820-003).
