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).
4. Procedure
Subtask 78-31-45-420-050-A
A. Installation of the Manual Drive Unit (MDU)
WARNING: USE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE HYDRAULIC THRUST REVERSER ACTUATION SYSTEM (TRAS). HYDRAULIC FLUID CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO ENGINE PARTS.
CAUTION: DO NOT LET HYDRAULIC FLUID FALL ON THE ENGINE OR THE THRUST REVERSER. UNWANTED HYDRAULIC FLUID MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY WITH A CLEAN LINT FREE CLOTH. THE FLUID CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE PROTECTION AND TO SOME PARTS.
   (1) Remove all COVER - PROTECTION and CAP - PROTECTION from the openings, tubes, hoses and connectors.
   (2) Manually install the MDU (3) in the right lower actuator (4).
   (3) Torque the MDU.
CAUTION: HOLD THE ACTUATOR FITTING WHILE YOU TURN THE MDU. IF THE ACTUATOR FITTING BECOMES LOOSE, THE ACTUATOR WILL BE UNSERVICEABLE.
     (a) Use a WRENCH - TORQUE to hold the fitting on the right lower actuator (4).
     (b) TORQUE the MDU (3) with a second WRENCH - FLAT to between 398 and 363 lbf.in (4.50 and 4.10 m.daN ) T.
   (4) Manually install the MDU (2) in the left lower actuator (1).
   (5) Torque the MDU.
CAUTION: HOLD THE ACTUATOR FITTING WHILE YOU TURN THE MDU. IF THE ACTUATOR FITTING BECOMES LOOSE, THE ACTUATOR WILL BE UNSERVICEABLE.
     (a) Use a WRENCH - TORQUE to hold the fitting on the left lower actuator (1).
     (b) TORQUE the MDU (2) with a second WRENCH - FLAT to between 398 and 363 lbf.in (4.50 and 4.10 m.daN )
