A. Install the connecting link.
(1) If the straight pin comes out with the connecting link, apply Loctite 290 (Material No.CP2365) to the end of the straight pin that goes in the actuation ring.
(2) Install the straight pin in the actuation ring.
(4) Install the headed pin in the connecting link and actuation ring segment.
(5) Apply graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the threads and friction surface of the bolts.
(6) Install the bolts. TORQUE the bolts to between 70 and 55 lbf.in (0.79 and 0.62 m.daN )
.
(7) Make sure that the straight pin is correctly installed in the actuation ring. Use lockwire through the inspection hole of the connecting link to feel for the pin.
(8) Do a visual check:
(9) Wirelock the bolts:
CP8001 lockwire 0.032 in. (0.8 mm) dia. .
(10) Apply graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the threads of the D-head bolt.
(11) Install the tie rod in the connecting link with the D-head bolt and nut. The bolt head goes aft for IVG and forward for stages 1, 2, and 3.
(12) Install the nut and TORQUE to between 115 and 105 lbf.in (1.30 and 1.19 m.daN )
.
5. Close-up(1) If the straight pin comes out with the connecting link, apply Loctite 290 (Material No.CP2365) to the end of the straight pin that goes in the actuation ring.
(2) Install the straight pin in the actuation ring.
NOTE: On the right side, the pin goes in the top segment of the actuation ring. On the left side, the pin goes in the lower segment of the actuation ring.
(3) Install the connecting link to the actuation ring segments. Make sure the straight pin fully engages the hole in the actuation ring and the lever arms are correctly engaged in the connecting link bushings. (4) Install the headed pin in the connecting link and actuation ring segment.
(5) Apply graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the threads and friction surface of the bolts.
(6) Install the bolts. TORQUE the bolts to between 70 and 55 lbf.in (0.79 and 0.62 m.daN )
. (7) Make sure that the straight pin is correctly installed in the actuation ring. Use lockwire through the inspection hole of the connecting link to feel for the pin.
(8) Do a visual check:
CAUTION:
BLADE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR IF THE LEVER ARMS ARE NOT CORRECTLY ENGAGED.
(a) Make sure all of the lever arms are correctly engaged in the connecting link bushings. (9) Wirelock the bolts:
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE D-HEAD BOLT IS SEATED IN THE RECESS OF THE CONNECTING LINK.
(a) Use the (10) Apply graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the threads of the D-head bolt.
