A. Installation of the Mid Acoustical Panels
(2) Do a visual inspection of the mid acoustical panel cup (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-280-009).
(3) If the panel cup is found pierced (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-400-045).
(b) If the self-locking nut torque is between 4.5 lbf.in (0.05 m.daN) and 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), TORQUE the screws to between 93 and 85 lbf.in (1.05 and 0.96 m.daN )
.
(c) If the self-locking nut torque is more than 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), but less than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), TORQUE the screws at the running torque value and add 44 lbf.in (0.50 m.daN).
(d) If the self-locking nut torque is more than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), replace the self-locking nut (Ref. AMM D/O 72-23-00-30).
5. Close-upNOTE: The mid-acoustical panel assy is composed of the acoustical panel plus the 2 skin fillets. In case of a non-damaged skin fillet, these skin fillets can be reinstalled with the new acoustical panel.
(1) If necessary, assemble the 2 skin fillets (90) on the acoustical panel (110). CAUTION:
COATING SCREWS IS MANDATORY.
(a) Apply a layer of graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the threads of all the screws that attach acoustical panels and to the contact faces below screw heads. (2) Do a visual inspection of the mid acoustical panel cup (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-280-009).
(3) If the panel cup is found pierced (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-400-045).
CAUTION:
DO NOT EXCEED THE SPEED OF 200 RPM TO APPROACH ALL ACOUSTICAL PANEL SCREWS BY USING PNEUMATIC OR ELECTRICAL SCREW DRIVERS.
(4) Install the panel assy on the fan case, and attach it with the 6 screws (100). NOTE: The longest screws have to be re-installed at the forward end of panel.
NOTE: Whenever possible, start to torque with the screws in the center of the acoustical panels.
(5) Measure the self-locking nut torque of each nut when you start to tighten the screw. NOTE: Make sure that the screws are not damaged, replace them if necessary.
(a) If the self-locking nut torque is less than 4.5 lbf.in (0.05 m.daN) (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-400-042). (b) If the self-locking nut torque is between 4.5 lbf.in (0.05 m.daN) and 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), TORQUE the screws to between 93 and 85 lbf.in (1.05 and 0.96 m.daN )
. (c) If the self-locking nut torque is more than 31 lbf.in (0.35 m.daN), but less than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), TORQUE the screws at the running torque value and add 44 lbf.in (0.50 m.daN).
(d) If the self-locking nut torque is more than 49 lbf.in (0.55 m.daN), replace the self-locking nut (Ref. AMM D/O 72-23-00-30).
