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:
DO NOT USE ENGINE POWER WHEN YOU DO A LEAK TEST OF THE WING ANTI-ICE DUCTS. HOT AIR FROM THE ENGINE CAN CAUSE INJURY.

(a) The flexible connectors (1) and (2) on the wing leading edge ducting between rib 7 and rib 8.
(b) The flexible connectors (3), (4) and (5) on the wing to fuselage 'S' duct.
(9) On the AIR COND panel 30VU:
(Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-862-002).
(11) Disconnect the GAPC from the HP-Ground Connection.
(12) Replace and/or reseal ducts that leak, (Ref. AMM TASK 36-11-48-000-004) and (Ref. AMM TASK 36-11-48-400-004).
Subtask 36-11-48-790-057-B ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL NOTE: APU type APS3200 and Allied Signal 131-9(A) can be used as an alternative to the GAPC. Aircraft with APU GTCP 36-300 installed must use the GAPC for this procedure.
(1) For access to the HP-Ground Connection 7300HM: - open the access door 191DB.
(3) Energize the aircraft electrical circuits
(Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-861-002).
(4) On the AIR COND panel 30VU:
- put the X BLEED switch to the OPEN position.
- make sure that the ANTI-ICE/WING P/BSW is released (out)
- make sure that the ANTI-ICE/WING P/BSW ON light is off.
(7) Use SOLUTION - LEAK DETECTION to do a leak check on:
(a) The flexible connectors (1) and (2) on the wing leading edge ducting between rib 7 and rib 8.
(b) The flexible connectors (3), (4) and (5) on the wing to fuselage 'S' duct.
NOTE: Leakage is permitted when a series of bubbles are continuous on the joint line, and as one bubble breaks another one forms. Leakage is not permitted when air pressure blows detection solution from the joint line and prevents a continuous series of bubbles.
(8) Stop the GAPC. (9) On the AIR COND panel 30VU:
- put the X BLEED switch to the AUTO position.
(Ref. AMM TASK 24-41-00-862-002).
(11) Disconnect the GAPC from the HP-Ground Connection.
(12) Replace and/or reseal ducts that leak, (Ref. AMM TASK 36-11-48-000-004) and (Ref. AMM TASK 36-11-48-400-004).
B. Leak Check of the Bleed Air Flexible Connections (Air supplied by the APU 131-9(A))

(2) Do the EIS start procedure (ECAM only) (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-001).
(3) On the ECAM control panel 11VU:
- push (in) the BLEED P/BSW
- make sure that the BLEED page is shown on the lower ECAM DU.
- make sure that the ANTI-ICE/WING P/BSW is released (out)
- make sure that the ANTI-ICE/WING P/BSW ON light is off.
NOTE: After the APU starts, Airbus recommends you to wait for a minimum of 3 minutes of warm up period before you select the APU BLEED.
(6) On the AIR COND panel 30VU: - push (in) the APU BLEED P/BSW
- make sure that the APU BLEED P/BSW ON light comes on (blue)
- make sure that the bleed air system is pressurized.

(a) The flexible connectors (1) and (2) on the wing leading edge ducting between rib 7 and rib 8.
(b) The flexible connectors (3), (4) and (5) on the wing to fuselage 'S' duct.
NOTE: Leakage is permitted when a series of bubbles are continuous on the joint line, and as one bubble breaks another one forms. This indicates that the detection solution is stable on the joint line. Leakage is not permitted, when air pressure blows detection solution from the joint line and prevents a continuous series of bubbles.
(10) On the AIR COND panel 30VU, release (out) the APU BLEED P/BSW: - make sure that the APU BLEED P/BSW light goes off.
(12) Do the EIS stop procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 31-60-00-860-002).
