Have an assistant hold the yoke in the full aft position and rotate the servo arm against the aft stop on the pitch servo bracket. 15. 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. 16. Attach the pushrod to the pitch servo arm with hardware as shown in Figure 3-16 and torque to 20-25 in-lb. Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix E C180, C182- C182D, C185 TruTrak Doc: 255 24 Figure 3-16 17. Apply blue threadlocker (Loctite242 or equivalent) to the threaded shank of both rod ends. Rotate the pushrod until the rod end bearings on each end are threaded in equally and the link sensor connector is pointed directly down then tighten the jam nuts to 20-25 in-lb. 18. 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. 19. 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. 20. Complete routing of the pitch servo wiring harness and trim to length. 21. Terminate the pitch servo wiring harness per the Vizion wiring diagram USING OPTION B in the Vizion PMA Installation Guide (TruTrak Doc. 166) using a Right Angle D-sub 9 Pin Backshell Kit (P/N 8210-011). 22. The pitch servo connector backshell and slidelock should be assembled as shown in Figure 3-17. Rev: B Vizion Install Appendix E C180, C182- C182D, C185 TruTrak Doc: 255 25 Figure 3-17 23. Insert and tighten the cable retention clamp on the servo connector backshell as seen in Figure 3-18. Figure 3-18 24. Connect the pitch servo connector. 25. Connect the Sheathed Microfit Cable Assembly 1M (P/N 6000-064) to the PMA link sensor (P/N 8000-177) and pitch servo (P/N 8100-064 for 12 volt or P/N 8100-065 for 24 volt). 26. Secure the Sheathed Microfit Cable Assembly 1M (P/N 6000-064) so that routing is as shown in Figure 3-19 and Figure 3-20. The cable will be secured to the pitch push rod using a cable tie. Ensure that cable is free to move as the link sensor moves through full control deflection without excess pressure on the connector.

Verify that the servo and pushrod motion are unobstructed throughout the full control travel. 28. Replace all inspection covers, carpet, seats, and interior previously removed during the installation. 29. Reconnect the aircraft battery.

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 300-500 feet per minute. CAUTION! Do not select a DEFAULT VS that is too high, or autopilot performance may be adversely affected. 15)PRESS KNOB to exit vertical setup and return to the home screen. 16)Cycle power on the autopilot.
