WARNING:
PUT WARNING NOTICES IN THE COCKPIT BEFORE YOU DO WORK ON THE BLEED AIR SYSTEM TO TELL PERSONS:
- NOT TO OPERATE THE ENGINES
- NOT TO OPERATE THE SLATS
- NOT TO OPERATE THE APU SWITCH.
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
WARNING:
BEFORE YOU START WORK, YOU MUST PUT ON A SAFETY HARNESS AND ATTACH IT TO THE ACCESS PLATFORM. WITHOUT A SAFETY HARNESS, YOU CAN FALL. THIS CAN KILL YOU OR CAUSE YOU INJURY.
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE AND THE ADJACENT COMPONENTS AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN. THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE OIL AND THE ADJACENT COMPONENTS CAN STAY HOT FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU DO NOT OBEY THIS INSTRUCTION, INJURY CAN OCCUR.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT AIR IS NOT SUPPLIED TO THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FROM THE MAIN ENGINE, THE APU OR A GROUND SOURCE.
HOT COMPRESSED AIR CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE THRUST REVERSER IS LOCKED. IF NOT, THE THRUST REVERSER CAN OPERATE ACCIDENTALLY AND CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE REVERSER.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM IS DEPRESSURIZED BEFORE YOU START WORK. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPONENTS OF THE BLEED AIR SYSTEM ARE COOL. HOT COMPONENTS WILL BURN YOU.
CAUTION:
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE OVERHEAT DETECTOR ELEMENTS WHEN YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE. THE ELEMENTS ARE EASILY DAMAGED.
CAUTION:
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON OR NEAR THE AIR-CONDITIONING DUCTS. THE DUCTS ARE MADE OF THIN MATERIAL AND YOU CAN EASILY BREAK THEM.
1. Reason for the JobTo clean the connectors of contamination that can cause an OPEN fault message(s) on the OHDS loop(s).
Apply Dow Corning (DC4) to make the electrical insulation on the connector better. The operator makes the decision to use or not to use the Dow Corning (DC4).
NOTE: This procedure is not applicable if there is a gold plate installed on the OHDS connecting-cable pins. The first three digits of the part numbers for the OHDS gold-plated connectors are 114.
