POSITION AND WARNING
LANDING GEAR LIMIT SWITCHES
– NOTE –
All adjustments of limit switches should be made with airplane
on jacks. Do not bend actuator springs mounted on limit
switches.
ADJUSTMENT OF NOSE GEAR UP LIMIT SWITCH
Gear up limit switch is mounted on a bracket above the point where right side of upper drag link attaches
to engine mount. (Refer to Figure 27.)
1. To facilitate adjustment of limit switch, disconnect gear doors or remove bottom cowl, as desired.
2. Retract landing gear hydraulically by turning master switch on, raising emergency gear extension lever
and moving gear selector handle to up position. Retain emergency extension lever in up position and
turn master switch off.
3. Block nose gear in up position and then slowly release emergency extension lever. This will relieve
hydraulic pressure and main gear will drop.
4. Push gear up tight and block.
5. Loosen lower attachment screw of switch bracket and rotate switch toward actuator tang until 0.06 to
0.08 measurement (noted in Figure 27) is obtained. Switch tang should be actuated a minimum of 0.12
inches in from lower end of tang.
6. Manually move gear up and down only as far as necessary to ascertain that switch actuates within 0.12
of full up position. Remove block from under gear and allow it to slowly extend.
7. Retract gear hydraulically and ascertain that red gear unsafe light will go out when gear has retracted
and pump has shut off.
