A. Installation of the Aft Acoustical Panels (Typical, any Panel)
(2) Do a visual inspection of the aft acoustical panel cup (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-280-008).
(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 75 and 66 lbf.in (0.85 and 0.75 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).
Subtask 72-23-00-914-050-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL NOTE: The aft acoustical panel assy is composed of the acoustical panel plus one skin fillet. You can install this skin fillet with the new acoustical panel.
(1) If necessary, assemble the 1 skin fillet (120) on the acoustical panel (140). CAUTION:
COATING SCREWS IS MANDATORY.
(a) Apply a layer of graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the threads of all the screws that attach the acoustical panels and to the contact faces below the screw heads. (2) Do a visual inspection of the aft acoustical panel cup (Ref. AMM TASK 72-23-00-280-008).
(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 forward case, and attach it with the seven screws (130). NOTE: You must install the 3 longest screws (130) at the aft 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 75 and 66 lbf.in (0.85 and 0.75 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).
B. Apply the sealant RTV 732 (Material No.CP2242) between the acoustical panels, and also between the acoustical panels and the fan frame struts. SPM 706612380024.
