3. Job Set-up
Subtask 32-11-11-941-061-A
A. Safety Precautions
   (1) As necessary, use the applicable SAFETY BARRIERS, specified by the operator's instructions and your local regulations.
   (2) On panel 400VU:
  • Make sure that the landing-gear control-lever 6GA is in the DOWN position
  • Put WARNING NOTICE(S) in position to tell persons not to operate the landing gear or the main gear doors.
   (3) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) in the cockpit to tell persons not to pressurize the Green hydraulic system.
   (4) Make sure that the ground safety locks are installed on the landing gear (Ref. AMM TASK 32-00-00-481-001).
Subtask 32-11-11-860-069-A
B. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
   (1) Make sure that the Green and Yellow hydraulic systems are depressurized.
(Ref. AMM TASK 29-00-00-864-001).
   (2) Disconnect the isolation coupling of the PTU (Ref. AMM TASK 29-23-00-860-001).
Subtask 32-11-11-869-064-A
C. Flight Configuration Precautions
   (1) If the electrical power is not necessary for other maintenance tasks, de-energize the aircraft electrical circuits (Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-862-002). Then, it is not necessary to operate the LGCIU circuit breakers.
   (2) If the electrical power is necessary, do the precautions for flight configuration (Ref. AMM TASK 32-00-00-860-001) before you open the LGCIU circuit breakers.
