guide in drilling.
b. Ascertain that upper and lower links are assembled with downlock hook retraction fitting, etc,
attached, and through travel of links and downlock hook clearance checked according to cleaning
inspection and repair of main landing gear.
c. Attach upper link to swivel stud of support fitting and secure with bolt, bushing, washer, nut and
copper pin.
d. Actuating cylinder rod end bearing and lower side brace link may be attached respectively to
retraction fitting and strut housing during adjustment of landing gear.
4. Ascertain that landing gear is lubricated per Lubrication Chart, Chapter 12.
5. Check adjustment of landing gear per adjustment of main landing gear.
6. Check alignment of wheel per alignment of main landing gear.
7. Install access plate on underside of wing and remove airplane from jacks.
ADJUSTMENT OF MAIN LANDING GEAR
1. Place airplane on jacks.
2. Level airplane laterally and longitudinally. (Refer to Leveling, Chapter 8.)
3. Disconnect gear door actuating rods at either door or housing, as desired, by removing rod attachment
bolt. Secure door out of way.
4. Adjust rod end on upper side brace link with no load on wheels, to obtain 90 degree angle between
wheel centerline and level floor line on outboard side of gear.
5. Check that rod end has sufficient thread engagement in end bearing, align flat sides of bearing casting
with flat side of bearing and tighten jam nut.
6. Adjust turnbuckle of downlock mechanism by first ascertaining that gear is down and locked, and then
