Actuators Test (Menu Mode) [CFML]
TASK 73-29-00-740-802-A
Actuators Test (Menu Mode)
The actuators test will verify the operation of the fuel driven actuator servo loops. This includes electrical and position faults. The actuators and servo-valves tested are the FMV, PMV, VSV, VBV, TBV, FRV and SBV BAI Valve. The motoring test will slew the electro-hydraulic controlled actuators fully open and fully closed while the engine is dry-motoring. Upon completion of the test, the test results screen is displayed on the MCDU showing any faults detected during the test.

Actuators Test (Menu Mode)
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT ALL ENGINE OPERATING AREAS ARE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. ALL RAMPS, TAXIWAYS, RUNWAYS AND OTHER OPERATING AREAS MUST BE VERY CLEAN TO PREVENT BAD DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, AIRCRAFT AND PERSONS IN THE AREA.
WARNING:
DO NOT TRY TO STOP THE FAN FROM TURNING BY HAND. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO THE PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE LANDING GEAR GROUND SAFETIES AND THE WHEEL CHOCKS ARE IN POSITION. MOVEMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE DANGEROUS.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE TRAVEL RANGES OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS SURFACES ARE CLEAR. MOVEMENT OF FLIGHT CONTROLS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO HYDRAULIC GROUND POWER SUPPLY CONNECTED TO THE AIRCRAFT WHEN YOU DO THIS PROCEDURE. IF A HYDRAULIC GROUND POWER SUPPLY IS CONNECTED, THERE IS A RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE PUMPS.

(5) On the ENG section of maintenance panel 50VU:
(a) Release the FADEC GND PWR 1(2) pushbutton switch (the ON legend comes on).
CAUTION:
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE IF THE FUEL INLET PRESSURE IS NOT POSITIVE (THE FUEL IS NECESSARY TO LUBRICATE THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP AND THE FMU AND THUS PREVENT DAMAGE).
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THAT THE ENG/MASTER 1(2) CONTROL SWITCH (ON THE PANEL 115VU) IS SET TO OFF BEFORE YOU START THE FUEL PUMPS.
Subtask 73-29-00-740-051-A WARNING:
