TASK 78-30-00-440-807-A
Reactivation of the Thrust Reverser System after Nacelle Maintenance (ICU)
A. The Isolation Control Unit (ICU) is a safety device that lets a mechanic make the thrust reverser safe for maintenance. When the ICU is in the deactivated position, the thrust reverser cannot automatically move in the stow direction or the deploy direction.
B. When the maintenance is complete, but before flight, you must do this procedure to permit automatic operation of the thrust reverser. There is a different procedure to make the thrust reverser deactivated for flight.
