Accomplishment Instructions This Service Bulletin shall be accomplished as follows: NOTE Should any difficulty be encountered in accomplishing this Service Bulletin, contact Raytheon Aircraft Company at 1-800-429-5372 or 316-676-3140. A. Airplane Observe all Warnings and Cautions contained in the airplane manuals referred to in this Service Bulletin. Whenever any part of this system is dismantled, adjusted, repaired or renewed, detailed investigation must be made on completion to make sure that distortion, tools, rags or any other loose articles or foreign matter that could impede the free movement and safe operation of the system are not present, and that the systems and installations in the work area are clean. (1) Remove all power from the airplane and disconnect the battery. Display warning notices prohibiting reconnection of airplane electrical power. (2) Open appropriate doors and panels to gain access to rudder control cables. Refer to applicable airplane Maintenance Manual or Shop Manual. (3) Inspect rudder control cables that are routed around the pulley and through the brackets at FS 233.50. Refer to Figure 1, Detail A (Sheet 1 of 2). Make sure each rudder control cable passes between the pulley and the cable guard pin rather than over the cable guard pins. Scratches, missing primer and/or paint from abrasion on pulley brackets, worn or shiny cable guard pins, and frayed wires are indications of misrouted control cables. Figure 1, Detail B (Sheet 2 of 2) shows examples of correct and incorrect rudder cable routing at cable pulleys. Replace any misrouted rudder control cables. Replace any worn or damaged guard pins. Inspect pulley brackets for wear and damage. Replace any pulley brackets that are damaged or worn. If rudder cables are routed properly, check the airplane log book to determine if a misrouted control cable was detected during maintenance and the misrouting was corrected. If a misrouting has been recorded or found during this inspection, proceed to step 4. If no misrouting is recorded or found during this inspection, proceed to step 5. P-D-680, Type III dry cleaning solvent is toxic to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use eye and skin protection. Use only in a well-ventilated area. SB 27-3265 6 of 9 SERVICE BULLETIN MANDATORY Issued: January, 2000 Avoid using too much solvent to remove corrosion preventive compounds. Removal of the cable’s internal lubricant can result in corrosion of the center strand. Wear protective gloves to prevent injury to hands when handling worn or broken cables. (4) Install replacement rudder control cables in accordance with the following: MIL-C-81309 and MIL-C-16173 corrosion preventive compounds are flammable and toxic to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Use skin and eye protection. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors. Keep away from open flames or other heat or ignition sources. Failure to comply may result in explosion or fire. Do not allow MIL-C-81309 and MIL-C-16173 corrosion preventive compounds, or any oil-based solvents, to come in contact with pure oxygen. These materials are not oxygen compatible, and will cause explosion and fire. If corrosion preventive compound is applied adjacent to areas of oxygen storage or transfer, make sure oxygen lines have been thoroughly leak-tested. Keep corrosion preventive compound away from oxygen lines. Apply corrosion preventive compound cautiously using a brush only. Do not spray. Failure to comply may resulting injury to personnel and damage to the airplane. Control cables must have a thin coating of corrosion preventive compound. Thick coatings will gum up pulleys and prevent cables from functioning properly. P-D-680, Type III dry cleaning solvent is toxic to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Use eye and skin protection. Use only in a well-ventilated area. SB 27-3265 7 of 9 SERVICE BULLETIN MANDATORY Issued: January, 2000 (a) Apply corrosion preventive compounds, as necessary, to provide corrosion protection. Apply MIL-C-81309, Type II, Class 2 corrosion preventive compound for water displacement applications. Coat external cables strands with a thin coat of MIL-C-16173, Grade 1 corrosion preventive compound. Use P-D-680, Type III dry cleaning solvent to thin the corrosion preventive compound. Mix at a 40/60 ratio of corrosion preventive compound to dry cleaning solvent for brushing or dipping applications and apply to control cables at installation. (b) Install rudder control cables in accordance with the applicable airplane Maintenance Manual or Shop Manual. (c) Adjust rudder control cables to correct tension and adjust control surface travel in accordance with the applicable airplane Maintenance Manual or Shop Manual. (d) Perform an operational checkout of the flight control system to ensure proper operation of installed rudder control cables, pulley brackets, guard pins and attaching hardware. Refer to the applicable airplane Maintenance Manual or Shop Manual. (5) Reconnect the airplane battery, remove warning notices, and restore power. (6) Close doors and panels which were removed to gain access to rudder control cables. Refer to applicable airplane Maintenance Manual or Shop Manual. (7) Ensure all work areas are clean and clear of tools and miscellaneous items of equipment. (8) Return airplane to service. B. Spares Not applicable. C.
