   (1) Make sure that you remove the COVER - PROTECTION as necessary, to prevent damage of the engine.
   (2) Install the thrust reverser alignment fitting (3) or (6) as follows:
     (a) Put the thrust reverser alignment fitting (3) or (6) in position.
     (b) Make sure that the distance between the aft surface of the engine V-groove and the alignment fitting (3) or (6) is between 0.045 in. (1.14 mm) and 0.065 in. (1.65 mm).
       1 If the distance is not correct, use the shim (2).
   (3) If the shim (2) is necessary, prepare the shim (2) for the installation.
   (4) Mix the PU4-0002epoxy primer, fluid resistant, the PU4-0004Acuring solution, epoxy primer and the thinner (Material No.PU4-0005) or the thinner (Material No.PU4-0008) . Refer to the instructions of the manufacturer.
NOTE: You can use the following as alternatives to the PU4-0002epoxy primer, fluid resistant mixture:
  • The base primer (Material No.PU4-0002C) , PU4-0004Acuring solution, epoxy primer and the thinner (Material No.PU4-0005) or the thinner (Material No.PU4-0008)
  • The base primer (Material No.PU4-0002D) and the curing solution (Material No.PU4-0009)
  • The base primer (Material No.PU4-0002E) and the converter (Material No.PU4-0007) .
   (5) Apply a thin layer of the PU4-0002epoxy primer, fluid resistant mixture to the surface of the shim (2). Refer to the instructions of the manufacturer:
     (a) Make sure that the thickness of the PU4-0002epoxy primer, fluid resistant mixture is between 0.0005 in. (0.01 mm) and 0.0008 in. (0.02 mm).
   (6) Let the PU4-0002epoxy primer, fluid resistant mixture dry to the touch.
   (7) To get access easier, move the floating hinge when you install the alignment fitting (3) or (6).
