Locking of the Thrust-Reverser Upper Actuators [CFML]

TASK 78-31-41-440-802-A
Locking of the Thrust-Reverser Upper Actuators

WARNING: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE PARTS AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. USE APPLICABLE THERMAL GLOVES. THE ENGINE PARTS CAN STAY HOT FOR ONE HOUR AFTER SHUTDOWN AND CAN BURN YOU.

ZONE: 400

1. Reason for the Job
A. This procedure gives the instructions on how to lock the right upper actuator and the left upper actuator.
B. The two upper actuators are also known as the synchronized locking feedback actuators.
C. When the actuators are locked they are in the usual position for automatic operation. The unlocking procedure is only done during maintenance. Do this procedure to lock the actuators after maintenance is complete before the aircraft is released for flight. Never permit flight with an actuator in the unlocked condition.

C. Deactivation of the Thrust Reverser System for Maintenance

WARNING: YOU MUST DEACTIVATE THE THRUST REVERSER BEFORE YOU DO WORK ON OR AROUND IT. IF YOU DO NOT, THE THRUST REVERSER CAN OPERATE ACCIDENTALLY AND CAUSE AN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.

(1) Make sure that you did the deactivation of the thrust reverser system for nacelle maintenance (Ref. AMM TASK 78-30-00-040-807).
(2) Make sure that the ACCESS PLATFORM 1M (3 FT)-ADJUSTABLE is in position below the fan cowl doors.

4. Procedure
Subtask 78-31-41-440-073-A

A. Locking of the Thrust-Reverser Upper Actuators
(1) For PRE SPOL BD-TR-17014 without 98N7830H025-000 WAVE - UNLOCKING TR UP. ACTUATORS and POST SPOL BD-TR-17014 without 98N7830H027-000 PIN - UNLOCKING TR UP. ACTUATORS:
(a) Slowly turn the yellow hex (3) in the anti-clockwise direction to let the target (2) go back to the locked condition.

NOTE: When the actuator is in the locked condition, the target (2) will be between the two proximity sensors (1) and (5).

(b) Make sure that the upper actuator (4) is in the locked condition.
(c) Do the same procedure on the other upper actuator.
(2) For PRE SPOL BD-TR-17014 with 98N7830H025-000 WAVE - UNLOCKING TR UP. ACTUATORS:
(a) Remove the 98N7830H025-000 WAVE - UNLOCKING TR UP. ACTUATORS from the upper actuator (4).
(b) Slowly turn the yellow hex (3) in the anti-clockwise direction to let the target (2) go back to the locked condition.
(c) Make sure that the upper actuator (4) is in the locked condition.

NOTE: When the actuator (4) is in the locked condition, the target (2) will be between the two proximity sensors (1) and (5).

(d) Do the same procedure on the other upper actuator.
(3) For POST SPOL BD-TR-17014 with 98N7830H027-000 PIN - UNLOCKING TR UP. ACTUATORS:
(a) Remove the 98N7830H027-000 PIN - UNLOCKING TR UP. ACTUATORS from the upper actuator (4).
(b) Slowly turn the yellow hex (3) in the anti-clockwise direction to let the target (2) go back to the locked condition.
(c) Make sure that the upper actuator (4) is in the locked condition.

NOTE: When the actuator (4) is in the locked condition, the target (2) will be between the two proximity sensors (1) and (5).

(d) Do the same procedure on the other upper actuator.
