(4) Installing Pneumatic Boots (cont.)
(a) Preparation of Leading Edges (cont.)
4 Remove sump plugs from air connection grommets. In some cases, it will be necessary
to remove sections of doped fabric used to cover air connection holes. Draw out ends of
non-kink hose section so that they protrude through the connection holes in leading edge.
If hose is cracked or deteriorated, replace with new hose.
(b) Preparation of Deicer Boot
Moisten a clean cloth with MEK or Acetone and carefully clean the rough, back surface of
boot at least twice. Change cloths frequently to avoid recontamination of cleaned areas.
(c) Mounting Boot on Leading Edge
Thoroughly mix 1300L cement before using. Apply one even brush coat to cleaned back sur-
face of boot and to cleaned metal surface. Allow cement to air dry for a minimum of one
hour. Apply a second coat to both surfaces and allow to air dry a minimum of one hour.
Ambient temperature for installation should be held between 40 and 110F. However, longer
drying time of cement coats may be required as humidity approaches 99%. Deicer and lead-
ing edge may be cemented for a maximum of 48 hours before actual installation, if cemented
parts are covered and kept clean. Snap a chalk line along leading edge of airfoil section.
Intensify chalk line on leading edge and white reference line on boot with a ball point pen.
Most boots are made with an excess of material at inboard and outboard edges for final trim-
ming after installation and some recessed boots trim on upper and lower edges. Securely
attach hose to deicer connection using clamps or safety wire.
1 Holding backside of boot close to leading edge, fasten end of each non-kink hose to cor-
responding air connection stem. Tinnerman or other suitable non-kink hose clamps
should be used for this purpose. Tighten each clamp with a pair of slip joint pliers but do
not squeeze clamp so tight that hose is damaged.
– NOTE –
If non-kink hose clamps are not available, wrap each hose
connec- tion with several turns of friction tape. Over tape,
wrap two separate bindings of safety wire, about 1/2 inch
apart. Each of these bindings should consist of several turns of
wire. Twist together ends of each binding to tighten. Press
twisted ends down against hose. Finally, wrap wire with sever-
al additional turns of friction tape.
2 Push hose connections into leading edge grommets or seals as case may be. Obtain suffi-
cient personnel to hold boot steady during installation. (Limit handling cemented side of
boot with fingers.) Continue installation by reactivating cement along center line leading
edge surface and boot in span wise strips approximately six inches wide. Rubber roll
deicer firmly against wing leading edge, being careful not to trap any air under deicer.
Always roll parallel to inflatable tubes. Position deicer center line to coincide with lead-
ing edge center line. Hold boot in this position while reacti- vating about three inches
around connections and around corresponding holes in leading edge, using a clean, lint-
free cloth moistened with Toluol. Insert connections in leading edge holes when cement
has dried to a tacky state and rubber roll boot to leading edge in tackified area.
3 If deicer should attach “off course”, use MEK to remove and reposition properly. Avoid
twisting or sharp bending of the deicer.
