A. Safety Precautions
(1) On the center pedestal, on ENG panel 115VU:
(a) Make sure that the ENG/MODE selector switch is in the NORM position.
(b) Make sure that the ENG/MASTER 1(2) control switch was in the OFF position not less than five minutes before you do this procedure.
(c) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) in position to tell persons not to operate:
(a) Make sure that the ON legend of the FADEC GND PWR/1(2) pushbutton switch is off.
(b) Put a WARNING NOTICE(S) in position to tell persons not to energize FADEC 1(2).

A. Visual Inspection of the Radial Shaft (Outer)
(1) Remove radial shaft (outer) (3) (Ref. AMM TASK 72-62-42-000-801).
(2) Inspect the gear shaft splines of radial shaft (outer) (3) with a 0.76 mm (0.03 in.) radius scriber after the cleaning of the area:
(a) If no wear is felt with the radius scriber:
1 Radial shaft (outer) (3) is serviceable.
2 With the help of a LIGHT SOURCE - INSPECTION, do a visual inspection of the radial shaft (inner) (1) and oil retainer ring (2) to check any missing/cut element on the oil retainer ring (2).
a If no damage is observed on radial shaft (inner) (1) and oil retainer ring (2), the radial shaft (inner) (1) splines are serviceable.
b If the oil retainer ring (2) is damaged (any amount), replacement of radial shaft (inner) (1) is required within 400 engine flight hours.
(b) If the wear is felt with the radius scriber, calculate the depth P1 of the wear using the following procedure:
1 Use a MICROMETER - DIGITAL or CALIPER between 6 spline teeth of the radial shaft (outer) (3).
a Measure M1 distance over 6 spline teeth on the area without wear close to the end of the shaft.
b Measure M2 distance over 6 spline teeth between one quarter and three quarter of the area with wear.
c Calculate the depth on the wear: P1 = M1 - M2.
d Repeat the instructions given from Para 4.A.(2) (b) 1_ a_ to Para 4.A.(2) (b) 1_ c_ on 4 teeth at 90 degrees from each other (tooth no. 1, 10, 19, 28).
e Report in table 1 the maximum wear depth P1 measured.
2 Do the following procedure according to the maximum wear depth found in table 1:
If any wear is observed, both radial shaft (outer) (3) and radial shaft (inner) (1) need to be removed and replaced within the time period indicated in table 2. Please note that the radial shaft (inner) (1) replacement can be done during shop visit only.
5. Close-up(1) Remove radial shaft (outer) (3) (Ref. AMM TASK 72-62-42-000-801).

e Report in table 1 the maximum wear depth P1 measured.
2 Do the following procedure according to the maximum wear depth found in table 1:
If any wear is observed, both radial shaft (outer) (3) and radial shaft (inner) (1) need to be removed and replaced within the time period indicated in table 2. Please note that the radial shaft (inner) (1) replacement can be done during shop visit only.
