STATION REFERENCE LINES. In order to facilitate the location of various components of the airplane which require maintenance and servicing, a method utilizing fuselage station, wing station or buttock line (BL), and water line (WL)designations is frequently employed in this manual. (Refer to Figure 2-2.) Fuselage stations, buttock lines, and water lines are reference points measured by inches in the vertical or horizontal direction from a given reference line which indicates station locations of structural members of the airplane. Station 0 of the fuselageis 18 inches aft of the nose. Station 0 (BL) of the wing, horizontal stabilizer and elevator is the center line of the airplane; and station 0 (WL) of the vertical stabilizer and rudder is 15.82 inches above the cabin floor with the airplane level. The reference datum line is located at the main spar, fuselagestation 137. 2-6. ACCESS AND INSPECTION PROVISIONS. The access and inspection provisions for the airplane are shown in Figure 2-4.The components to be servicedor inspected through each opening is assignedan index number to identify it in the illustration. All access plates and panels are secured by either metal fasteners or screws. The floor panels may be removed by first removing the desired seats, then removing the carpet, thus exposing the floor panel attachment screws. Carefully remove the floor panels so as not to damage them. To enter the aft section of the fuselage, remove the rear baggage compartment upholstery panel by removing the attachment screws.

RECOMMENDED NUT TORQUES (Inch-Pounds) TORQUES: The importnce of correct application cannot be overemphasized. Undertorque can result in unnecessary wear of nuts and bolts as well as the partsthey are holding together. When insufficient pressure are applied. uneven loads will be transmitted throughout the assembly which may result in excessive wear or premature failure due to fatigue. Overtorque can be equally damaging because of failure of a bolt or nut from overstressing the threaded areas. There are a few simple. but very important, procedures that should be followed to assure that the correct torque is applied: 1. Calibrate the torque wrench periodically to assure accuracy: and recheck frequently. 2. Unless otherwise specified. torque all nuts to the applicable torque in the Recommended Nut Chart. Ifthe nut (or the bolt) is listed but not its mating fastener, use the lower torque specified for the listed nut (or bolt). NOTE If normal operation requires movement between any of the components being clamped together. tighten the nut Ior bolt) without regard to the nut torque chart, to insure intended operation of the assembly 3. Bolt and nut threads should be clean and dry unless otherwise specified. If the threads are to be lubricated and no torque is specified. reduce the recommended nut torque (plus the friction drag torque) by 50%. 4 For other bolt sizes. determine the friction drag torque by turning the nut to near contact with the bearing surface. Attach a scale type torque wrench to the nut and determine the torque required to turn the nut on the bolt (before the nut makes contact with the bearing surface) Add this. the friction drag torque. to the specified torque to get the final torque COARSE THREAD SERIES BOLTS Steel Tension AN 3 thru AN 20 AN 42 thru AN 49 AN 73 thru AN 81 AN 173 thru AN 186 MS 20033 thru MS 20046 MS 20073 MS 20074 AN 509 NK9 MS 24694 AN 525 NK525 MS 27039 NUTS Steel Tension Steel Shear AN 310 AN 320 AN 315 AN 364 AN 363 NAS 1022 AN 365 MS 17826 NAS 1021 MS 20364 MS 17825 MS 21045 MS 20365 MS 20500 NAS 679 Men.

TORQUE REQUIREMENTS.The torque values given in Table II-II are derived from oil free cadmium-plated threads and are recommended for all airframe installation procedures where torquing is required, unless otherwise noted in sections where other values are stipulated. Engine torque values are found in the latest revision of Avco Lycoming Service Bulletin No. 268, and propeller torque values are found in Section VIII of this manual. Table II-III list the torque values for flared fittings of various sizes and material. NOTE When flared fittings are being installed, ascertain that the male threads are properly lubricated. Torque the fittings in accordance with Table II-III. CAUTION Do not over torque fittings. a. Unless otherwisespecified, torque all nuts to the applicable torque in the Recommended Nut Chart. If the nut (or the bolt) is listed but not its mating fastener, use the lower torque specifiedfor the listed nut (or bolt).

Torque wrenches should be checked daily and calibrated by means of weights and a measured lever arm to make sure that inaccuracies are not present. Checking one torque wrench against another is not sufficient and is not recommended. Some wrenches are quite sensitive as to the way they are supported during a tightening operation. Any instructions furnished by the manufacturer must be followed explicitly. When it is necessary to use a special extension or adapter wrench together with a torque wrench. a simple mathematical equation must be worked out to arrive at the correct torque reading. Following is the formula to be used: (Refer to Figure 2-3.) T = Torque desired at the part. A = Basic lever length from center of wrench shank to center of handle or stamped on wrench or listed for that model wrench. B = Length of adapter extension. center of bolt to center of shank. C = Scale reading needed to obtain desired torque (T). The formula: C = A xT A+B EXAMPLE A bolt requires 30 foot-pounds and a 3 inch adapter (one-quarter of a foot or .25) is needed to get at it. You want to know what scale reading it will take on a one-foot lever arm wrench to obtain the 30 foot-pounds at the bolt. Remember. the 3 inch adapter must be projecting 3 inches straight along the wrench axis. In general. avoid all complex assemblages or adapters and extensions of flex joints. A Figure 2-3.

Leveling - Longitudinal and Lateral CAUTION Be sure to apply sufficient tail support ballast; otherwise the airplane will tip forward and fall on the fuselage nose section. c. Raise the jacks evenly until all three wheels clear the surface. 2-13. WEIGHING. (Refer to Figure 2-6.) The airplane may be weighed by the following procedure: a. Position a scale and ramp in front of each of the three wheels. b. Secure the scales from rolling forward and tow the airplane up onto the scales. (Refer to Towing. paragraph 2-17.) c. Remove the ramp so as not to interfere with the scales. d. If the airplane is to be weighed for weight and balance computations. level the airplane per instructions given in paragraph 2-14. 2-14. LEVELING. All configurations of the airplane are provided with a means for longitudinal and lateral leveling. The airplane may be leveled while on jacks during the weighing procedure. while the wheels are on scales. or while the wheels are on the ground. To level the airplane for purposes of weighing or rigging. the following procedures may be used: a. To longitudinally level the airplane. partially withdraw the two leveling screws located on the right side of the fuselage nose section at station 57.00 and 35.00 (Refer to Figure 2-7.) Place a spirit level on these screw heads and deflate the nose wheel tire or adjust the jacks until the bubble of the level is centered. b. To laterally level the airplane. place a spirit level across the two center seat rails of the cabin (Refer to Figure 2-7) and deflate the tire on the high side of the airplane or adjust eitherjack until the bubble of the level is centered.
