The roll servo will be mounted in the right wing just forward of the inboard end of the aileron. 1.1. Begin by removing the inspection cover on the lower wing skin located forward of the inboard end of the aileron. 1.2. Figure 2-1 shows the roll servo mounting location from above the right wing and figure 2-2 shows the mounted servo in the wing. 1.3. NOTE: Apply torque seal to all bolts after final torqueing is achieved. Figure 2-1 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 6 Figure 2-2 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 7 2. The Cessna 172 Upper Roll Bracket (P/N 1450-107) will be mounted to the flange of the rear wing spar using 3 ea. AN526C-832R8 screws. 2.1. Locate the inboard screw hole as shown in figure 2-3 on the upper wing skin. 2.2. Drill the inboard hole only at this time with a #19 drill. Figure 2-3 3. Drill Cessna 172 Upper Roll Bracket (P/N 1450-107) mounting holes. 3.1. Place the upper roll servo bracket in the wing and temporarily attach the bracket using a cleco in the previously drilled hole. 3.2. Rotate the bracket so that the outboard hole is aligned with the row of rivets in the spar flange. 3.3. Use a right angle drill to match drill the outer screw hole from inside the wing. 3.4. Use a cleco to temporarily attach the outer screw hole and then match drill the center screw hole on the top bracket to the spar flange. Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 8 4. Install anchor nuts in Cessna 172 Upper Roll Bracket (P/N 1450-107) 4.1. Remove the bracket from the aircraft. 4.2. Rivet 3 ea.

107), Servo Bolt Pattern Plate (P/N 1420-216), and Cessna 172 Lower Roll Bracket, (P/N 1450-108) 5.1. Attach the Cessna 172 Upper Roll Bracket (P/N 1450-107) to the upper spar flange using 3 ea. AN526C-832R8 screws. 5.1.1. Ensure that screws are tight, as this part will not be removed after this step! 5.2. Temporarily attach the Servo Bolt Pattern Plate (P/N 1420-216) to the upper bracket using 2 ea. AN3-3A as shown in figure 2-5. 5.3. Temporarily attach the Cessna 172 Lower Roll Bracket, (P/N 1450-108) to the Servo Bolt Pattern Plate (P/N 1420-216) using 2 ea. AN3-3A as shown in figure 2-5. Figure 2-5 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 10 6. Drill Cessna 172 Lower Roll Bracket, (P/N 1450-108) mounting holes. 6.1. Align the lower bracket mounting holes with row of rivets on the lower spar flange. 6.2. Match drill the outboard mounting hole using a #19 bit. 6.3. Secure the outboard hole with a cleco. 6.4. Match drill the remaining 3 holes on Cessna 172 Lower Roll Bracket, (P/N 1450-108), installing a cleco after each hole is drilled. NOTE: Do not install the bracket until step 13. 7. Install anchor nuts in Cessna 172 Lower Roll Bracket (P/N 1450-108) 7.1. Remove Servo Bolt Pattern Plate (P/N 1420-216), and Cessna 172 Lower Roll Bracket, (P/N 1450-108)) 7.2. Rivet 4 ea. MS21051-08 anchor nuts in place using 8 ea. MS20426AD3-4 rivets as shown in figure 2-6. Figure 2-6 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 11 8. Install and assemble the Cessna 172 Roll Inboard Pushrod (P/N 7200-088) and Cessna 172 Outboard Pushrod (P/N 7200-090). Figure 2-7 shows the assembled joint of these two parts. 8.1. Verify that Cessna 172 Roll Inboard Pushrod, Cessna 172 Outboard Pushrod, and AN3-7A bolts all mate properly prior to inserting parts through inspection hole. 8.2. Ensure that both threaded inserts are free of burs and rod end bearings can be properly inserted. 8.3. Slide the Cessna 172 Roll Inboard Pushrod (P/N 7200-088) through the inspection hole toward the cabin until the pushrod is entirely in the wing. 8.4. Make sure that the 10-32 threaded insert is toward the cabin and the cross drilled insert is outboard. 8.5. Place the Cessna 172 Outboard Pushrod (P/N 7200-090) through the inspection hole with the 10-32 threaded insert outboard. 8.6. Align the cross bolt holes and slide the inner and outer pushrods together. 8.7. Bolt the sections together using 2 AN3-7A bolts and MS20364-1032 nuts torqued to 20-25 in-lb. 8.8. Apply torque seal to this assembly at this point, as it is difficult to reach once attached to servo and bellcrank. 8.9. Remove the aileron bellcrank inspection panel and slide the assembled pushrod outward until it reaches the aileron bellcrank. Figure 2-7 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 12 9. Attach rod end bearing to bellcrank. 9.1. Remove the rear aileron bellcrank cable attachment bolt and replace with an AN3-14A, MM-3-300, 2 ea. AN960-10, and AN970-3 washer as shown in figure 2-8. 9.2. Torque bolt to 20-25 in-lb. 9.3. Verify that the feel of the controls in roll have not changed as this could indicate that a control cable has come off of the pulley. This bolt replacement should be able to be accomplished without re-tensioning the aileron control cables. Figure 2-8 10. Attach assembled pushrod to bellcrank rod end bearing. 10.1. Fully thread an AN345-10 nut on both MM-3-300 rod end bearings and start threading the pushrod assembly to the outer rod end bearing. 11. Assemble Cessna 172 Roll Servo Arm (P/N 7200-091) and 60 inch/lb PMA servo (P/N 8100-064). 11.1. Attach the Cessna 172 Roll Servo Arm (P/N 7200-091) to the 60 inch/lb PMA servo (P/N 8100-064 for 12 volt or P/N 8100-065 for 24 volt) using the provided 8-32 x 3/8” flat head screws. 11.2. Use blue threadlocker (Loctite 242 or equivalent) and torque the screws to 18-20 in-lb. Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 13 12. Roll servo installation should be paused at this step, and continued once the wiring is installed per section 4. 13. Install Cessna 172 Lower Roll Bracket, (P/N 1450-108) and 60 inch/lb PMA servo (P/N 8100-064 for 12 volt or P/N 8100-065 for 24 volt). 13.1. Place the lower roll servo bracket in the wing and start 4 AN526C- 832R8 screws but leave the screws loose so that the lower bracket can still move. 13.2. Attach the electrical connector to the roll servo and secure it in place with the mounting screws. 13.3. Place the servo behind the mounting bracket with the arm oriented between the servo stops as shown in figure 2-9. 13.4. Start the 2 AN3-3A bolts with MS35333-39 lock washers and blue threadlocker (Loctite242 or equivalent) in the upper servo mounting holes then start the lower mounting bolts in the same manner. 13.5. Finally torque the 4 servo mounting bolts to 20-25 in-lb and tighten the lower bracket mounting screws to the spar flange. Figure 2-10 shows the 4 screws in the lower spar flange. Figure 2-9 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 14 Figure 2-10 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 15 14. Install servo side rod end bearing in push rod assembly. 14.1. Have an assistant hold the yoke in the full left position and rotate the servo arm against the outboard stop as shown in figure 2-11. 14.2. Thread the MM-3-300 rod end bearing into the servo end of the pushrod until the pushrod is the correct length to align with the drive point on the servo arm. The pushrod must be positioned aft of the rear aileron control cable at the servo and above the control cable at the aileron bellcrank. 14.3. Verify that the control cable is not twisted around the pushrod. Figure 2-11 Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix C C175/C172 TruTrak Doc: 242 16 15. Attach the pushrod assembly to the Cessna 172 Roll Servo Arm (P/N 7200-091). 15.1. Attach the pushrod with hardware as shown in figure 2-12 and torque to 20-25 in-lb. 15.2. Rotate the pushrod until the rod end bearings on each end are threaded in equally then tighten the jam nuts to 20-25 in-lb. 15.3. Move the yoke throughout the full range of travel and check for binding in the rod end bearings. If binding exists adjust the rod end bearings and jam nuts to eliminate it. 15.4. Ensure that aircraft stops are contacted prior to servo stops. Adjust length of pushrod as needed until servo stops are not contacted when controls are moved to both ends of travel. Figure 2-12 16. Verify that the servo and pushrod motion are unobstructed throughout the full control travel. Once wiring harness is installed, ensure that the wiring harness is properly secured to prevent interference. 17. Apply torque seal to all bolts after final torqueing is achieved.

For example, if the DEFAULT VS is set to 300 fpm, if the aircraft is climbing at 200 fpm, the autopilot select zero VS upon engagement. If the aircraft is climbing at 400 fpm, the autopilot will select 400 fpm upon engagement. We suggest using 300-400 feet per minute. CAUTION! Do not select a DEFAULT VS that is too high, or autopilot performance may be adversely affected. 15)PRESS KNOB exit vertical setup and return to the home screen. 16)Cycle power on the autopilot.
