WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE THIS TOOL, BECAUSE IT CONTAINS CLASS 2 LASER EQUIPMENT.
  • DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE BEAM
  • DO NOT POINT THE BEAM AT OTHER PERSONS.
THE LASER CAN CAUSE INJURY IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THESE PRECAUTIONS.
B. Installation of the Nose-Wheel Alignment Tool
   (1) Installation of the front target on the ground.
NOTE: Two reference points are used to put the front target in the correct position on the ground.
  • The first reference point is used to put the front target in position on the ground.
  • The first and the second reference points are used to adjust the lateral position of the front target with the laser device of the JT2000AIRBUS TOOL-NOSE WHEEL ALIGNMENT.
     (a) Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to assemble the front target.
     (b) Open the radome to get access to the first reference point (first point) (Ref. AMM TASK 53-15-11-010-001).
     (c) Put the front target in position on the ground, approximately below the first reference point.
     (d) Make a mark on the NLG door (second reference point).
     (e) Install the laser device on the front target arm. To do this, engage the spring-loaded location pin in the first notch.
     (f) Adjust the lateral position of the front target on the ground.
       1 Point the laser beam to the first reference point.
       2 Point the laser beam to the second reference point (mark on the NLG door).
       3 Make sure that the laser beam points along the centerline of the first and second reference points. If necessary, adjust the lateral position of the front target.
       4 If the lateral distance between these two reference points is more than 10 mm (0.39 in.), do step (f) again.
     (g) Remove the laser device from the front target arm.
Be very careful not to move the front target. If the front target moves, do steps (f) and (g) again.
   (2) Installation of the rear target on the ground
NOTE: Two reference points are used to put the rear target in the correct position on the ground.
  • Point 11 is used to put the rear target in position on the ground.
  • Points 11 and 12 are used to adjust the lateral position of the rear target with the laser device of the JT2000AIRBUS TOOL-NOSE WHEEL ALIGNMENT.
    To do this, it is necessary to install a measurement target on the aircraft, at point 12 to see the laser beam clearly on the target.
     (a) Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to assemble the rear target.
     (b) Make sure that the area below the center and rear sections of the fuselage is clear:
     (c) Put the rear target on the ground, approximately below point 11.
     (d) Install the 98F05003000002 TARGET-MEASUREMENT at reference point 12.
     (e) Install the laser device on the rear target arm.
To do this, engage the spring-loaded location pin in the first notch.
     (f) Adjust the lateral position of the rear target on the ground.
       1 Point the laser beam to point 11.
       2 Point the laser beam to the 98F05003000002 TARGET-MEASUREMENT (installed at point 12).
       3 Make sure that the laser beam points along the centerline of points 11 and 12. If necessary, adjust the lateral position of the rear target.
       4 If the lateral distance between these two reference points is more than 10 mm (0.39 in.), do step (f) again.
     (g) Remove the laser device from the rear target arm.
Be very careful not to move the rear target. If the rear target moves, do steps (f) and (g) again.
   (3) Lift the NLG axle.
     (a) Put a thick layer of Synthetic Ester base Grease-General Purpose Low Temp - (Material No.03HBD9) or Synthetic Oil base Grease-General Purpose Clay Thickened - (Material No.03GBB1) on the pivoting cup of the axle jack.
     (b) Lift the NLG axle sufficiently to turn the two wheels (Ref. AMM TASK 07-12-00-582-001).
NOTE: You must make sure that the wheel travel is clear because there can be an unwanted movement of the NLG.
   (4) Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to install and set the nose-wheel alignment tool.
   (5) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits
(Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
   (6) Make sure that the nose-wheel steering handwheels and the rudder pedals are in the neutral position.
   (7) Pressurize the Green hydraulic system
(Ref. AMM TASK 29-10-00-863-001) or (Ref. AMM TASK 29-23-00-863-001).
