A. Inspection of the Magnetic Drain Plug
(1) Remove the magnetic element (1) from the drain plug (2).
(2) Do an inspection of the magnetic element (1) under a LIGHT SOURCE - WHITE for metal particles.
(a) A small quantity of metal particles not larger than 1.50 mm (0.0591 in.) in any dimension is permitted. In this case install the magnetic element (1) in the drain plug (2).
(b) If you find a large quantity of metal particles smaller than 1.50 mm (0.0591 in.), do the following steps:

CAUTION: DO NOT CLEAN THE OIL FILTER ELEMENTS. YOU MUST DISCARD THEM AND INSTALL NEW FILTER ELEMENTS. IF YOU CLEAN THE OIL FILTER ELEMENTS, YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THEM. THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE APU.

1 Clean the magnetic element (1) in the Non Aqueous Cleaner-- Petroleum Based - (Material No.08BBB1) .
2 Dry the magnetic element (1) with a clean Textile-Lint free Cotton - (Material No.14SBA1) .
3 Replace the oil filters (Ref. AMM TASK 49-91-41-920-002) and (Ref. AMM TASK 49-91-41-920-001).
4 Install the magnetic element (1) in the drain plug (2).
5 Do the servicing to change the oil in the APU oil reservoir (Ref. AMM TASK 49-90-00-600-005).
6 APU operation:
a Remove the safety clip(s) and the tag(s) and close this(these) circuit breaker(s):
121VU...APU/APU/CTL...(2KD)...L42
121VU...APU/ECB/SPLY..(1KD)...L41
b Start the APU (Ref. AMM TASK 49-00-00-860-005) and operate it for 15 minutes.
c Do the APU shutdown procedure (Ref. AMM TASK 49-00-00-860-006).
d Open, safety and tag this(these) circuit breaker(s):
121VU...APU/APU/CTL...(2KD)...L42
