2. Introduction
All helicopters described in this manual are
manufactured by MD Helicopters Inc. (MDHI),
Mesa, Arizona. The design features and
performance characteristics of all helicopters
are essentially the same. The main differences
between helicopters are the type and arrange
ment of interior furnishings and equipment,
the pilot's flight control position, engine power,
anti-torque system and a variety of optional
equipment.
3. 369D/E/FF 500/600N Helicopter
Description

NOTE: Throughout this manual, references to


the 369FF model helicopters also includes
the 369F model helicopters, unless other
wise stated.
(Ref. Figure 1) The Model 369D/E/FF 500/600N helicopters are turbine-powered,
rotary-wing aircraft constructed primarily of
aluminum alloy. The main rotor system for the
369D/E/FF - 500N helicopter is five-bladed
and fully-articulated. The main rotor system
for the 600N helicopter is six-bladed and
fully-articulated. The anti-torque system may
be two bladed, an optional four-bladed
installation or a NOTARR anti-torque system.
Engine output is delivered to the main and
anti-torque system by drive shafts and two
transmissions. A one-way overrunning clutch
between the engine and main transmission

permits the main rotor to freewheel for


autorotational descent.
The fuselage is a semi-monocoque construc
tion divided into three sections. The structure
consists of a central framework, a mast
support structure, two bulkheads and a center
beam. The forward section includes the crew
and cargo or passenger compartment. The
crew compartment is equipped with seats for
the pilot and either one or two passengers. The
crew compartment left seat is the pilot's seat
(LH command position) except in a RH
command configuration helicopter. The cargo
compartment is behind the crew compartment
and contains provisions for bench-type or
folding passenger seats. Passenger seats may
be folded out of the way or completely removed
to accommodate cargo. The aft section houses
the engine and includes structure for tailboom
attachment and in the case of the 500/600N,
the fan assembly and fan transmission for the
NOTARR anti-torque system. The lower
section is divided by a center beam and
provides two bays containing two fuel cells
that make up the fuel tank.
The 369D/E/FF tailboom is a monocoque
structure of aluminum alloy frames and skin.
The tailboom is the supporting structure for
the vertical and horizontal stabilizers, tail
rotor transmission and tail rotor. The tailboom
also houses the tail rotor transmission drive
shaft and tail rotor blade-angle control rod.
The 500/600N tailboom assembly is a fully
monocoque construction of carbon fiber
composites. The tailboom is the supporting
structure for the stator assembly, horizontal
stabilizer, two thruster assemblies and control
cable assembly.
The main rotor group consists of five or six
main rotor blades, a fully-articulated main
rotor hub with offset flapping hinges, a
scissors assembly, and a swashplate and
associated mixer control mechanisms. The
main rotor blades are secured to the rotor hub
with standard hardware and quick-release
pins.

handbooks and other published documents by


their titles and/or identifying numbers. These
documents are the primary servicing, mainte
nance and repair information file for vendorsupplied helicopter components.
5. ATA Numbering System and Format

MDHI maintenance manuals provide system


descriptions, servicing and maintenance
procedures, periodic and special inspections,
overhaul schedules, limited life component
replacement schedules, and weight and
balance calculations.

This MDHI Maintenance Manual and asso


ciated MDHI manuals are prepared in general
compliance with Air Transport Association
Specification for Manufacturers Technical
Data (ATA-100).

This manual is one of a group of publications


that form the information file for the helicop
ter. The maintenance and inspection proce
dures are to be used for the 369D/E/FF 500/600N helicopters only. Study the contents
to gain an understanding of the arrangement
and use of this and associated manuals before
working on the aircraft.
Table 201, Related Publications and Direc
tives, lists vendor/supplier manuals, catalogs,

The uniform numbering system established by


ATA-100 is used. This numbering system
provides a means for dividing material into
Chapter, Section, Subject and Page. The
number is composed of three elements, which
consist of two digits each (Ref. Figure 2). The
chapter and section elements (sub-assembly
10, 20, 30, etc.) are assigned by ATA-100.
Subject/Unit element numbers are assigned by
MDHI.

AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
2. Component Mandatory Replacement
The Airworthiness Limitation Replacement
Schedule specifies the mandatory replacement
time, structural inspection interval and related
structural inspection procedures approved per
the certificate basis of the Type Certificate
Data Sheet No. H3WE and CAR 6 (6.250,
6.251) and CFR 27.571 for models 500/600N
unique components only. At the listed finitelife, components or assemblies must be
removed from the helicopter and permanently
retired from service. At the listed inspection
interval, the components or assemblies must
be inspected in accordance with the Handbook
of Maintenance Instructions (HMI). The title
of the task and section of the HMI are referred
to which provide the inspection procedures and
criteria.

NOTE: Refer to CFR Part 43.10 for latest re


quirements for the removal, installation,
storage and disposition of life-limited parts.
(1). A ``life-limited'' part is a physical
component of the helicopter to which a
maximum number of allowable operat
ing hours or cycles are assigned.
Certain assemblies and components on
the helicopter have a limited life
established by MDHI and approved by
FAA Engineering. For example, a part
with an assigned limit of 1000 hours,
may accumulate 1000 hours of opera
tion in service. Upon completion of the
1000 hours of operation, useful life of
the part is ended. The finite-life
assigned to different parts varies
according to engineering fatigue tests,
part experience, etc. The parts listed in
this section must be removed from the
helicopter at the finite-life indicated
and identified as to it's expired life (Ref,
Table 1, Note (1)).
(2). All parts not having an assigned life or
stated to be of unlimited life, have a life
of not less than 20,000 hours.
(3). When a life-limited part or an assem
bly that incorporates a life-limited part
is installed on a new or used helicopter,
the nomenclature, part number, serial

FAA APPROVED

number, component time and current


helicopter hours are recorded in the Log
Book and component log for the
helicopter. Whether the life-limited
part is new or used, the remaining
number of useful life hours and pre
vious inspection time, if applicable, for
the part is added to the existing
helicopter time. The total helicopter
hours obtained then denotes the
subsequent time at which the part must
be removed from the helicopter or
inspected.
(4). If a life-limited part, is part of an
assembly, the assembly must be
removed from the helicopter when the
time expires. The assembly may be
overhauled and restored to maximum
number of hours of useful life by
installing new life-limited parts plus
all other parts specified in the overhaul
instructions (Refer to Component
Overhaul Manual).
(5). If interchanged between different model
helicopters (for instance, Model 369D to
369FF or vice versa), any component
having a limited life or overhaul
schedule must be restricted to the
lowest service life or TBO schedule
indicated for the helicopter models and
serial numbers affected.
(6). Refer to the appropriate Allison
Operation and Maintenance Manual for
engine component replacement require
ments.
3. Component Mandatory Inspections
Some components with mandatory inspection
intervals require inspections to be completed
in accordance with procedures detailed in
other sections of this maintenance manual.
The appropriate inspection procedures are
referenced in the Notes flagged to each
component to be inspected. All maintenance
manual procedures which are referenced in the
FAA Approved Airworthiness Limitations
Component Mandatory Replacement Schedule
are FAA approved procedures which cannot be
changed without FAA review and approval of
the proposed changes.

4. Retirement Index Number (RIN)


(1). A Retirement Index Number (RIN) is a
number that accounts for different
usage spectra in assigning the retire
ment time for a component.
The RIN is calculated as the sum of an
adjustment factor times flight hours
plus another adjustment factor times
Torque Events.
When a component reaches 1,000,000
RIN's, it has reached it's maximum life
and is to be scrapped.

For external lift operators, an external


load is recorded as two (2) TE's (pickup and drop-off).
Hover taxi with no external load will
typically result in no TEs.
6. External Lift and Torque Event (TE)
Requirements
The 369D/E/F/FF - 500/600N helicopters are
multi-use helicopters. If the helicopter is used
primarily for external lifts or training flights
(high TE flights), there may be a reduction in
inspection intervals of some components.
For safe operation of the heli
copter, TE's must be recorded in
the Rotorcraft Log Book. Each external lift
will be recorded as two (2) TE's.

CAUTION

5. Torque Event (TE)


A Torque Event (TE) is defined as:
The transition to a hover from forward
flight.
Any external lift operation.

NOTE: An external lift can either be on the car


go hook, external hoist or in external bas
kets.

(1). Determine the number of TE's and


external lifts the helicopter accumu
lates per hour of flight time.
(2). Record all TE's in Rotorcraft Log Book
and continue to record all TE's.
(3). Perform required TE inspections.

CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS
CONDITIONAL INSPECTIONS
1. General
This section contains the unscheduled or
conditional inspections. You must do the
necessary Maintenance Manual specific
inspections and procedures shown in Table 1 to
make sure there is continued airworthiness of
the helicopter.
Rotorcraft and components involved in
accidents or incidents must be inspected
and/or tested as required to make sure they
are in a condition of safe operation and
conform to type design. Accident or incident
parts are exposed to extreme forces, heat or
immersion that can have a serious effect on
structural integrity. In some cases, even
though inspection indicates the part is
acceptable, the part must be removed from
service and scrapped.
Aircraft and component records must be clear
and contain the necessary details to establish
a complete parts history. Without a complete
documented parts history, inspection of a part
per CSP-HMI-2 is not sufficient to determine
if the part is acceptable for installation. This is
especially critical for life-limited components,
flight safety critical aircraft parts (FSCAP)
and primary load structures.
Damage from accidents and incidents are
wide-ranging. The conditional inspection
requirements in CSP-HMI-2, Chapter 05
cannot fully relate to the accident or incident
that occurred. If you are not sure what
inspections and/or tests are required to make
sure the rotorcraft or parts are in a condition
of safe operation and conform to type design,
do the following. Record all information
regarding the accident or incident and contact
the MDHI Field Service Department for the
necessary inspection/tests and maintenance
procedures.
If there is an incident with your helicopter not
shown in this section, record all information
regarding the incident and speak to the Field
Service Department at MDHI, Mesa, Arizona.
Telephone 1-800-388-3378 or (480) 346-6387.
DATAFAX: (480) 346-6813 for inspections and
maintenance procedures you need to do.

It is possible you will need to do more than one


of the inspections or procedures shown in
Table 1 of this section. Do all inspections that
are applicable.

NOTE: Refer to the applicable Rolls-Royce En


gine Operation and Maintenance Manual
(Ref. Section 01-00-00, Table 201) for de
tailed requirements on inspection of the en
gine for specific or unique conditions compa
rable to those listed.

WARNING
D All components, assemblies, or parts
that are removed for overhaul or re
pair must be identified with the
cause for removal.
D All other components, assemblies, or
parts that need to be replaced, must
be discarded.
2. Hard Landing
A hard landing is an incident or accident in
which the helicopter hits the ground with
sufficient force to cause:
D main rotor blade to hit the tailboom or upper
fairings or cowlings.
D permanent deformation of the landing gear
more than permitted limits.
D the lower fuselage, lower tailboom surface,
tailrotor, or thruster to touch the ground.
Use the schedule of inspections in Table 1,
Conditional Inspections, After Hard Landing if
you think a hard landing has occurred.
3. Overspeed
Overspeed is an incident in which the rotor
speed (NR) is more than the limits shown in

Overtorque is an incident in which the main
transmission torque loads are more than the
permitted limits. Use the schedule of inspec
tions in Table 1, Conditional Inspections, After
Main Transmission Overtorque Beyond
Transient Limits when an overtorque has
occurred.
5. Sudden Stoppage
Sudden stoppage is a rapid deceleration of the
main rotor, rotor drive system, tail rotor, or
anti-torque fan.
Sudden stoppage of the main rotor and rotor
drive system is caused when the main rotor
blades hit the ground, water, snow, thick
vegetation, or other object of sufficient mass to
cause deceleration. Sudden stoppage of the
main rotor and rotor drive system can also
occur during a hard landing if the blades hit
the fuselage or the tailboom. Use the schedule
of inspections in Table 1, Conditional Inspec
tions, After Main Rotor Blade/Drive System
Sudden Stoppage when sudden stoppage of the
main rotor has occurred.
Sudden stoppage of the tail rotor is caused

DIMENSIONS AND AREAS


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Principal Dimensions
(Ref. Figure 201 for Model 369D,
Figure 202 for Model 369E,
Figure 203 369FF,
Figure 204 for 500N and
Figure 205 for 600N)
2. Airframe Stations Locations

cm) forward of the fuselage nose for


Models 369E/FF. WL 0.00 is tangential
to bottom of fuselage at STA 90.61.
Canted stations start at WL 0.00 unless
otherwise specified. The canted station
is not the same distance from STA 0.00
over its length, and should be referred
to in association with a waterline
reference.

(1). Reference is occasionally made to


Fuselage Station (STA or FS), Fuselage
Station Plug (P. STA or FSP) and
Waterline (WL) throughout the manual.
P. STA or FSP refers to the stretched
area or longer fuselage section of the
600N as compared to the 500 Series
Helicopter. Fuselage Station and
Waterline are the same as those
referred to in the other 500 Series
publications. To assist in locating
components being discussed, station
diagrams are provided (Ref. Figure 206
for Model 369D, Figure 207 for Models
369E/FF, Figure 208 for 500N and
Figure 209 for 600N). Station and
Waterline references are also necessary
for weight and balance procedures (Ref.
Sec. 08-10-00).

(3). For the 600 Series Helicopter, all


dimensions are from three reference
points designated as STA 0.00, P. STA
0.00 and WL 0.00 for the fuselage/engi
neering station references. STA 0.00 is
15.00 inches (38.1 cm) forward of the
fuselage nose. P. STA 0.00 is located at
the forward lower edge of the mid door
(also designated as canted STA 78.50).
All references outside of the designated
P. STA areas are labeled STA or FS.
Waterline 0.00 is tangential to bottom
of fuselage at fuselage station STA
90.61. Canted stations start at water
line 0.00 unless otherwise specified.
The canted station is not the same
distance from WL 0.00 over its length,
and should be referred to in association
with a waterline reference.

(2). For the 500 Series Helicopters, all


dimensions are from two reference
points designated as STA 0.00 and WL
0.00. STA 0.00 is 28.00 inches (71.12
cm) forward of the fuselage nose for
Model 369D, and 15.00 inches (38.10

(4). Measurements from a station repre


sented by a rib, frame, or bulkhead that
is not accessible may be taken by noting
flange bend direction and compensating
on the correct side of visible external
skin attachment rivet line.

LIFTING AND JACKING


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Component Weights for Hoisting
(Ref. Table 201 thru Table 204) The maximum
weights for large components that may require
hoisting are listed.
Use hoist with minimum 3500
pound (1589 kg) capacity when
hoisting complete helicopter. Use hoisting
equipment with minimum 20% overrate to
hoist heavier components of helicopter (Ref.
Table 201 thru Table 204 for approximate
weights).

WEIGHT AND BALANCE


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. General Weight and Balance Information
(1). Removal or addition of fuel or equip
ment results in changes to weight and
balance of a helicopter, and the permis
sible useful load is affected accordingly.
These changes must be investigated to
eliminate possible adverse effects on
the helicopter's flight characteristics.
(2). Basic weight and corresponding center
of gravity is determined by weighing
the helicopter without crew and
payload; however, basic weight does
include trapped and unusable fuel, full
operating fluids, lubricants, etc., and
installed equipment.
(3). 369D/E/FF - 500N - The longitudinal
reference datum is located 100 inches
(254 cm) forward of the main rotor
centerline. The lateral reference datum
is located along the longitudinal
centerline of the helicopter. The vertical
reference datum is located at a point
100 inches (254 cm) below the center of
the main rotor blades.
(4). 600N - The Weight and Balance
longitudinal reference datum is located
100 inches (254 cm) forward of the
main rotor centerline or 15 inches (38.1
cm) aft of the aircraft nose. The Weight
and Balance (longitudinal) Reference
Datum is different from the Fuselage/
Engineering Reference Datum (Ref.
Section 06-00-00). The lateral refer
ence datum is located along the longitu
dinal centerline of the helicopter. The
vertical reference datum is located at a
point 83 inches (210.8 cm) below the
center of the main rotor blades.
(5). Refer to the following for balance
diagrams
Figure 201 for Model 369D
Figure 202 for Model 369E
Figure 203 for Model 369FF
Figure 204 for Model 500N
Figure 205 for Model 600N.

tional equipment is found in the Initial In
stallation section for the optional equip
ment.

A. Approved Center of Gravity Limits


(Ref. PFM)
B. Terminology
Following are terms with definitions, used
when determining helicopter weight and
balance:
(1). Arm: The distance in inches from the
longitudinal (longitudinal arm) and
lateral (lateral arm) reference datum of
a part to the center of gravity (CG) of
the part.

NOTE: When viewing helicopter from rear,


items to left of lateral reference datum (cen
ter line of helicopter) will be expressed as
having negative (-) lateral arm, and those
items to right of reference datum, a positive
(+) lateral arm.
(2). Center of gravity (CG): A point on a
part where the part will be perfectly
balanced. Center of gravity is measured
in inches from a known reference. It
can be determined using the following
formula:

CG(in)

Moment (inlb)
Weight (lb)

CAUTION

(3). Moment: Product of weight of a part


and its arm, either longitudinal or
lateral, and is expressed in inchpounds (in-lb).
Longitudinal moment = weight x
longitudinal arm;
Lateral moment = weight x lateral arm.
(4). Reaction point: A fixed point on helicop
ter where weight of helicopter counter
acts on a weighing device. The main
reaction points are;
(a). ALL: Long. Sta. 96.9.
(b). 369D/E/FF - 500N: Lat. Sta. 25.6.

D The controls access panel (aft side of Sta.


78.5 bulkhead) and the fuel cell access
panels must be installed before jacking
helicopter.
D 369D/E/FF - 500N: There are two meth
ods approved for weighing the helicopter.
The preferred method is by using elec
tronic weighing equipment. If equipment
for electronic weighing is unavailable, the
second approved method, mechanical
scales, may be used.
D 600N: There is one method approved for
weighing the helicopter. The method is by
using electronic weighing equipment.
A. Helicopter Weighing Preparation
The following items are required and should be
readily available prior to preparing and
weighing the helicopter, using the electronic
weighing method.

D Weigh helicopter without fuel if possible.


D 369D/E/FF - 500N: If fuel is drained from
low point in cell, 1.4 pounds (0.64 kg) of
trapped fuel at 93.5 inch (237.5 cm) arm
will remain. If fuel is pumped out using
start pump, 3.7 pounds (1.68 kg) of
trapped (unusable) fuel at 93.5 inch
(237.5 cm) arm will remain.
D 600N: If fuel is drained from low point in
cell, 1.6 pounds (0.73 kg) of trapped (un
usable) fuel at 93.5 inch (237.5 cm) arm
will remain. If fuel is pumped out using
start pump, 9.5 pounds (4.31 kg) of

(5). Record reading on control unit for each


load cell under NO LOAD condition

(5). Place jack (ST203) on 300 lb. (135 kg)


capacity platform scale (67). Position

roll-away table so that jack and 300
pound capacity scale are directly below
AFT jacking point.
(6). Lower helicopter so its weight is
supported by scales.
(7). Place jack on each 1,000 lb. (450 kg)
capacity platform scale, inboard of main
skids and directly below main jacking
points at Sta. 96.9.
E. Weighing Procedures Mechanical
Scales Method (369D/E/FF 500N Only)
Once preparations have been completed (Ref.
Helicopter Weighing Preparation and Prepara
tion for Weighing - Mechanical Scales Meth
od), weigh helicopter as follows:
(1). Operate jacks (ST203 and/or ST204)
simultaneously until helicopter is
supported only by jacks at right and left
Sta. 96.9 and AFT reaction points.

NOTE: If conditions permit, helicopter may be


leveled using plumb bob instead of spirit
level (Ref. Sec. 08-00-00).
(2). With main skids clear of 1,000 lb. (450
kg) capacity platform scales, level
helicopter (Ref. Helicopter Weighting Electronic Method).
(3). Record weight shown on scale at each
reaction point (Ref. Figure 209, exam
ple 1(a)).
(4). Simultaneously bleed off hydraulic
jacks until helicopter skids contact
1,000 lb. (450 kg) platform scales, and
total weight of helicopter is supported
by scales and AFT jack point.
(5). Remove jacks from 1,000 lb. (450 kg)
capacity platform scales.
(6). Hoist helicopter until scales at right
and left sides and jack at aft reaction
point can be rolled clear of helicopter
(Ref. Sec. 07-00-00).

CSP-HMI-2

weight at each reaction point (Ref.


Figure 209, example 1(b)).
(9). Subtract total tare weight for the three
reaction points obtained in step h above
from weight recorded in step c above to
obtain total unadjusted net weight of
helicopter (Ref. Figure 209, example
1(c)).
F. Longitudinal CG Determination for
Unadjusted Net Weight (369D/E/FF 500N
Only)
(1). Multiply net weight obtained at each
jacking point by its longitudinal arm, to
obtain a moment (Ref. Figure 209,
example 1(d)).
(2). Add three moments determined in step
(1). to calculate total moment (Ref.
Figure 209, example 1(e)).
(3). Divide total moment obtained in step
(2). by total unadjusted net weight, to
determine longitudinal CG (Ref.
Figure 209, example 1(f)).
G. Lateral CG Determination for Unadjusted
Net Weight

NOTE: Lateral CG is not critical with normal


internal loading. Certain optional equip
ment, such as an external cargo hook, may
induce lateral CG outside lateral CG limits,
if weight and CG control is not provided.
However, the Initial Installation section for
each optional equipment installation pro
vides complete instructions on lateral CG
control, to ensure operation within ap
proved limits.
(1). Multiply net weight for each jacking
point by its lateral reaction point
(369D/E/FF - 500N: left main, -25.6;
right main, +25.6; and aft, zero)
(600N: left main, -26.0; right main,
+26.0; and aft, zero) to obtain moment
for each jacking point (Ref. Figure 209,
example 1(g)).

(7). Lower helicopter to floor.

(2). Add three moments determined in step


(1). above to calculate total moment
(Ref. Figure 209, example 1(h)).

(8). Weigh each jack on same scale jack


occupied during helicopter weighing to
get the tare weight. Record the tare

(3). Divide total moment by total unad


justed net weight to determine lateral
CG (Ref. Figure 209, example 1(i)).

H. Basic Weight and CG Determination


Using unadjusted net weight and longitudinal
moment, determine basic weight and CG of
helicopter (Ref. Figure 209, example 1).
(1). Add total weight and moment of
missing equipment to unadjusted net
weight and moment of helicopter.
(2). Subtract total weight and moment of
surplus equipment from weight and

Page 206
Revision 23

08-10-00

moment of helicopter determined in


step (1). above.
(3). Enter total basic weight, CG and
moment in Basic Weight and Balance
Record (Ref. Figure 208).

NOTE: Any changes that will affect basic


weight and CG of helicopter must be re
corded on Basic Weight and Balance Record
(Ref. Figure 208), and revised basic weight
and CG of helicopter must be calculated
(Ref. PFM for preflight weight and balance
requirements).

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Ground Handling Wheels

NOTE: At regular intervals, check wheel tire


pressure and repack wheel bearings (Ref.
Sec. 32-40-00/32-40-60).
A. Standard Ground Handling Wheels
(Ref. Figure 201) Standard ground handling
wheels, available as a special tool for helicop
ters not equipped with floats, are used for
moving helicopter by hand and for towing
helicopter. The wheels are manually lowered
with a detachable jack handle and are held in
the down position (helicopter raised on wheels)
by a mechanical lock. The wheels for the
369D/E/FF - 500N helicopters are equipped
with tow bar attach fitting.

Excessive lead-lag load applied


to the main rotor blades during
ground handling can result in damage to the
elastomeric damper buns and failure of the
damper assembly. Operators and mainte
nance personnel should use extra caution to
avoid lead-lag loads in excess of 35 lb. (16
kg) at the tip of the main rotor blades.

CAUTION

(1). Attach ground handling wheels (ST101


or ST104) as shown (Ref. Figure 201),
and hold tail up while lowering the
wheels (raising helicopter) with
detachable jack handle (ST102 or
ST103).
(2). Manually move helicopter on ground
handling wheels by balancing at
tailboom and pushing on rear fuselage
portion of airframe.
Except under extreme emergen
cy conditions, do not tow heli
copter at speeds over 5 mph (8 KmH). Do not
allow front ends of skid tubes to drag on
ground. Avoid sudden stops and starts, and
short turns which could cause helicopter to
turn over. Allow inside wheel to turn (not
pivot) while helicopter is being turned. Safe
minimum turning radius is approximately
20 ft. (6 M).

CAUTION
B. Special Ground Handling Wheels
(FloatEquipped Helicopters, 369D/E/FF
500N)
Special ground handling wheels are available
for towing helicopters equipped with utility or
emergency floats (Ref. Sec. 32-40-00).

NOTE: If tow bar is not equipped to keep front

STORAGE
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Preservation and Storage
A helicopter to be placed in storage or non-op
erational status must have adequate inspec
tion, maintenance and preservation to avoid
unnecessary deterioration of airframe and
components of equipment. Extent of preventive
maintenance that is to be performed depends
on anticipated time in storage. Following
paragraphs describe what should be performed
in helicopter: for flyable storage; for up to 45
days in storage; and for up to 6 months in
storage.
2. Flyable Storage (No Time Limit)
A. Inspection Before Storage
(1). Perform Daily Pre-Flight Check (Ref.
appropriate PFM or RFM).
(2). Ensure that fuel cells are full (topped
off), and that oil in engine oil tank and
main, fan and tail rotor transmissions
is at FULL level (Ref. Sec. 12-00-00).
B. Storage
To maintain a flyable storage condition,
perform the following:
(1). Perform Daily Pre-Flight Check (Ref.
appropriate PFM or RFM).
(2). Perform ground runup at least once
every five days (Ref. applicable PFM or
RFM, Table 201, Sec. 01-00-00).
(a). Start engine. After idle stabilizes,
accelerate engine to 100 percent N2,
collective full down. Operate until oil
temperature is in normal operating
range and ammeter indicates battery
is fully charged.
(b). Shut down engine.
(c). Drain fuel cell sump (Ref. Sec.
12-00-00). (Replenish fuel as neces
sary.)
(d). Ensure that fuel shutoff valve is
closed (Ref. Sec. 28-00-00).

(e). Open movable air vents in each door


of cargo compartment. Position
opening in each air vent downward.
Close all other vents.
(f). Install covers and equipment used to
park and moor helicopter.
(g). Install a static ground.
C. Return to Service
(1). Remove covers and equipment used to
park and moor helicopter.
(2). Perform Daily Pre-Flight Check (Ref.
appropriate PFM or RFM).
3. Storage Up to 45 Days
A. Inspection During Storage
(1). Where local average humidity exceeds
40 percent, carefully inspect helicopter
every 15 days for corrosion. Perform
corrosion control as necessary (Ref. Sec.
20-40-00). When inspecting for
corrosion, pay particular attention to
those areas where moisture deposits do
not evaporate rapidly.
(2). Where local average humidity is 40
percent or less, inspect for corrosion
every 30 days.
(3). If interior temperature of fuselage
exceeds 160F (71C), ventilate helicop
ter by opening all doors and vents. If
necessary, promote air circulation by
use of fans or other forced air equip
ment.
(4). Ensure that fuel cells are full (topped
off) and that rotor transmissions are at
FULL level.
(5). Drain fuel cell sump daily. (Replenish
fuel as necessary.)
(6). Check fuel and oil systems periodically
for leakage. Replenish as necessary.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Main Rotor Blades Storage Rack
Description

(1). Verify that front and rear support


assemblies are complete and tight in all
details.

(Ref. Figure 201)

(2). Visually inspect for missing nuts, bolts,


cushions, and shock cords.

(1). The main rotor blade storage rack


stows and secures the main rotor blades
on Model 369 helicopters during ground
handling operations. The storage rack
consists of fore and aft units which,
when installed, provide blade protection
for helicopters that cannot be placed in
hangers or evacuated during adverse
weather conditions.
(2). The aft blade storage rack supports
three blades and consists of a plywood
blade rack which incorporates shock
(bungee) cords and nylon-webbing
harness straps with buckles, pull tabs,
and a grommet. The aft storage rack is
installed on the tailboom at Sta. 197.78,
just above the jack fitting. A decal on
the aft side of the storage rack facili
tates proper fore and aft positioning on
the tailboom. The harness grommet
engages the jack fitting and holds the
storage rack in position when the
harness straps are tightened and
secured. Shock cords secure the blades.
(3). The forward blade storage rack sup
ports two blades and consists of a
plywood blade rack which incorporates
shock cords, blade clamp (top blade
only), rack support tubes, and landing
gear clamps. The storage rack is
installed forward of the fuselage so that
the blade clamp support is positioned
left of the helicopter centerline. The
rack support tubes are secured with
clamps to the landing gear just aft of
the skid tip lights. Shock cords secure
the blades.
2. Main Rotor Blades Storage Rack
Inspection

(3). Verify that no support tubing is bent.


(4). Verify that plywood of rear support is
not split, cushions not torn, or nylon
webbing harness not missing its buckle.
3. Main Rotor Blades Folding and Unfolding
The following paragraphs provide instruction
for operation of the main rotor blade storage
rack: For the unpinning of the main rotor
blades; for folding, unfolding, and repining of
the blades. Adjustment and testing of main
rotor flight controls, necessary after the blades
have been re-pinned, is also covered here.
(Ref. Sec. 20-40-00 for information about
adjustment and corrosion protection of main
rotor blade attaching pins.)
If main rotor blades are to re
main folded for a considerable
length of time, main rotor hub must be cov
ered with a suitable weather-resistant cov
er.

CAUTION

NOTE: A mechanic's assistant is needed for


blade folding and unfolding.
A. Helicopter Location for Blade Folding

PLACARDS AND MARKINGS


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. General
(Ref. Figure 201 thru Figure 203 for placards
and markings most common to Model 600N
helicopters). Nomenclature corresponds to that
used in the IPC. (Ref. Illustrated Parts Catalog
for each decal part number and the quantity
required.)
The following illustrations cover different
areas of decal placement on the helicopter:
(1). Exterior - Figure 201.
(2). Interior - Figure 202.
(3). Instrument panels - Figure 203.
2. Decal Application
(1). Where a decal overlaps or covers drain
holes, access doors, etc., the decal shall

be cut out to provide proper draining or


ease of opening or removing of doors,
plates, etc.
(2). Where a decal is applied over a skin lap
(one skin overlapping another), the
decal must be cut so that it lies flat and
makes a positive bond.
(3). Seal edges of all exterior decals, and
only those interior decals in the engine
compartment and cargo compartment
aft of the transmission, with epoxy
adhesive. Edge sealing to be a mini
mum of 1/32 inch (0.8mm) and a
maximum of 1/8 inch (3mm) around
perimeter of decal.

(b). Read scale to determine oil level and


servicing required. Full oil level is
indicated by oil level of 2 7/8 inches
(7.30 cm) on scale. Minimum allow
able quantity (13 cc) is 7/8 inch
(22.23 mm) on scale. Recheck reading
a minimum of three times.
If oil quantity is less than 7/8
inch (22.23 cm) on scale, the
clutch subassembly must be removed and
inspected for evidence of overheating (Ref.
CSP-DEF-5).

CAUTION
CAUTION
D Checking clutch oil level requires removal
of main rotor transmission drive shaft.
Use care not to stress drive shaft dia
phragms (early type) or flexible couplings
(current type) during removal and instal
lation. Deflection in these areas are lim
ited due to material hardness.
D The 369F5450 clutch is only to be serviced
with Mobil SHC 626 oil (CM125).
D The 369A5350 clutch is only to be ser
viced with MIL-L-23699 oil (CM126).
(1). Remove trim and blower access door.
(2). Remove main rotor transmission drive
shaft (Ref. Sec. 63-10-00). Carefully
slide shaft from drive couplings; do not
strike shaft against any object.
(3). Remove coupling bolt and O-ring from
end of clutch.
(4). Check that the three drain holes in
clutch housing are clean and free of
obstruction. Oil leakage may indicate
engine power output seal leakage if
clutch oil level is checked and within
limits.
(5). For a 369A5350 Clutch:
(a). Using a clean 6 inch (15 cm) machi
nists scale, 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) width,
slowly insert scale into center of
clutch output shaft until scale

(6). For a 369F5450 clutch, there is two


methods for checking the oil level:
(a). First Method: Full oil level is indi
cated by oil level of 3 1/8 inches (9.84
cm) on a 6 inch (15 cm) machinists
scale, 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) width,
inserted into clutch exactly 5 inches
(12.7 cm). Minimum allowable
quantity (60 cc) is 5/8 inch (15.88
mm) on scale. Recheck reading a
minimum of three times.
(b). Second Method: Full oil level is
indicated by oil level of 4 5/8 inches
(11.77 cm) on a 12 inch (30 cm)
machinists scale, 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
width, inserted to bottom of inner
race. Minimum allowable quantity
(60 cc) is 2 1/8 inch (5.40 cm) on
scale. Recheck reading a minimum of
three times.
If oil quantity is less than 5/8
inch (15.88 mm) on scale for the
first method or 2 1/8 inches (5.40 cm) for the
second method, the clutch subassembly
must be removed and inspected for evidence
of overheating.

CAUTION

(7). Service clutch with lubricating oil


(CM125 or CM126). If oil level readings
indicate less than full level. Do not
overfill. Recheck oil level as in previous
step.

(8). If coupling shimming was disturbed,


shim coupling so that there is
0.035-0.055 inch (0.889-1.397 mm)
O-ring gap. (Ref. Sec. 63-10-00 for
clutch installation and shimming
requirement details.)
When installing clutch coupling
bolt in next step, installation
torque on the bolt must not be less than 250
- 300 inch-pounds (28.25 - 33.90 Nm)
plus drag torque. Torquing to lower value
reduces clutch bearing clamp-up and may
result in bearing race spinning.

CAUTION

(9). Coat bolt threads with oil (CM112).


Install coupling bolt and O-ring (Drag
torque for bolt self-locking serviceabili
ty is 25 inch-pounds (2.82 Nm)
minimum, 200 inch-pounds (22.60
Nm) maximum). Torque bolt to 250 300 inch-pounds (28.25 - 33.90 Nm)
plus actual drag torque.
(10). Position main rotor transmission drive
shaft between drive couplings. Install
four bolts and washers each end of
drive shaft and torque bolts to 50 - 75
inch-pounds (5.65 - 8.47 Nm).
(11). Reinstall blower access door and trim.

C. Component Lubrication Chart


(Ref. Figure 304 for required lubrication
points, lubricants to be used, and lubrication
intervals.)
Use extreme care when apply
ing any type of lubrication
(grease, oil, dry-film, etc) in vicinity of te
flon bearings. Most lubricants allow a dirtretaining film to form or have other detri
mental effects that can cause rapid
deterioration of bearing surface.

12. Component Fluid Leak Analysis
A. Main Rotor Transmission or AntiTorque
Transmission Oil Leaks
Oil leakage, seepage, or capillary wetting at oil
seals or assembly joint lines of main or
anti-torque transmissions are permissible if
leakage rate does not exceed 2 cc per hour (one
drop per minute). An acceptable alternate rate
of leakage from either transmission is, if oil
loss is not more than from the full to the add
mark on the sight gauge within 25 flight hours
(Repair leaks according to instructions in
Component Overhaul Manual).

NOTE:
D On gearbox oil seals with less than 2
hours of operation, some seepage or wet
ting of adjacent surfaces is normal until
seal is wetted and worn-in (seated). If
seepage continues at rate of one drop per
minute or less, seal may be continued in
service. Check transmission oil level and
observe seepage rate after every 2 hours
of operation. Shorter inspection periods
may be required if seal leakage appears to
be increasing.
D If excessive gearbox oil seepage occurs,
check breather filler for proper installa
tion and operation (Ref. Component Over
haul Manual for cleaning procedures).
B. Engine Oil Leaks
(Ref. Applicable Allison Engine Operation and
Maintenance Manual (Ref. Table 201, Sec.

CSP-HMI-2

01-00-00) for definition of permissible engine


oil leakage.
C. Landing Gear Damper Hydraulic Fluid
Leak
Hydraulic fluid leakage from any of landing
gear dampers is not permissible. If leakage is
present, damper assembly should be over
hauled (Ref. Component Overhaul Manual) as
required and a serviceable unit installed. If
leaking landing gear damper is not replaced
when leakage is noticed, continuation of
damper in service can result in unequal and/or
unacceptable dampening and/or ground
resonance.

NOTE: It is normal for a thin hydraulic oil film


to remain on damper piston as a result of
wiping contact with piston seal. Newly in
stalled dampers may also have slight oil
seepage from oil trapped in end cap threads
during damper assembly. Neither of these
should be considered damper leakage or
cause for damper replacement.
D. OneWay Lock Hydraulic Fluid Leak
Hydraulic fluid leakage from any part of
one-way lock is not permissible. When leakage
is observed, assembly should be overhauled
(Ref. Component Overhaul Manual) as
required and a serviceable unit installed. If
leaking one-way lock is not replaced when
leakage occurs, continuation in service may
result in mechanical malfunction that could be
hazardous to flight safety.

MAIN ROTOR TRACK AND BALANCE


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Main Rotor Blade Tracking
Main rotor blade track is observed by means of
reflective tip caps temporarily installed on
each blade and a high-intensity strobe light.
Blade track is determined by observing the
apparent tip cap pattern created by strobe
light pulses synchronized with the rotating
blades. Strobe light electrical power is supplied
by the helicopter electrical system.
Immediately investigate the

WARNING cause of a sudden onset of


excessive or unusual main rotor vibra
tion prior to continued flight. Under no
circumstance should main rotor track
ing be attempted to correct the prob
lem until a thorough inspection of the
main rotor blades, hub assembly and
strap pack assembly has been per
formed.
When working near engine air
inlet, comply with all precau
tions to prevent entry of foreign material.
Carefully observe precautions in the Track
ing and Balancing Manual relating to the
placement and security of equipment (espe
cially cables) fastened to the exterior of the
helicopter.

CAUTION

NOTE: Refer to Table 201 to isolate ground or


in-flight blade tracking problems.
(1). Tracking must be accomplished in the
following sequence of six steps:
(a). Verification of proper blade phasing
(Ref. Main Rotor Blade Phasing
Check and/or Adjustment, Sec.
62-20-00).
(b). Ground tracking (Ref. Main Rotor
Ground Tracking).
(c). Verification of proper rotor balance
(Ref. Main Rotor System Balance
Procedure).
(d). Hover verification (Ref. Hover Track
Verification).

(e). Forward flight tracking (Ref. For


ward Flight Tracking).
(f). Autorotation rpm adjustment (Ref.
Main Rotor Autorotation RPM
Check).
(2). No attempt should be made to verify or
adjust blade track without first check
ing and adjusting blade phasing, a
function of main rotor damper adjust
ment (Ref. Sec. 62-20-00).
Understand the blade tracking
sequence and related adjust
ments before attempting blade track proce
dures.

CAUTION

If main rotor hub balance is suspect, balance ro


tor hub prior to performing blade track.

A. Main Rotor Hub Balancing


Main rotor hub balancing is accomplished by
adding or removing weight (flat washers) as
required at the lead-lag bolts (Ref. Main Rotor
Hub Balancing Procedure). Analysis of main
rotor hub balance is accomplished using
instrumentation that measures and localizes
vibrations due to main rotor hub imbalance.
Data provided by the instrumentation is
plotted on a chart designed to indicate how
much weight must be added or removed from
the lead-lag bolt. No other means of balancing
is to be used.
B. Main Rotor System Balancing
Main rotor system balancing is accomplished
by adjusting the turnbuckle on the elastomeric
damper. Analysis of main rotor system balance
is accomplished using instrumentation that
measures and localizes vibrations due to main
rotor imbalance (Ref. Main Rotor System
Balance Procedure). Data provided by the
instrumentation is plotted on a chart designed
to indicate how much rotor blade shall be
shifted in leading or lagging direction by
adjusting turnbuckle. No other means of
balancing is to be used. Never add weight to,
subtract weight from or redistribute weight on
the main rotor blades. Do not attempt the
blade balancing procedure without first
tracking the blades (Ref. Blade Tracking
Procedure).

REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
1. Main Rotor System Tracking Equipment
Installation

A. Interrupter Installation
(Ref. Figure 401)

(Ref. Figure 401 and Figure 402) Equipment


needed to track main rotor blades consists of
the main rotor tracking and tail rotor vibration
analyzer equipment, tracking and balancing
equipment and the tip cap assembly. Instruc
tions for equipment installation are contained
in Chadwick-Helmuth Operation and Service
Instruction Handbook.
When working near engine air
inlet, comply with precautions
to prevent entry of foreign material. During
main rotor balancing the helicopter will be
airborne. Carefully observe precautions in
the Tracking and Balancing Manual relat
ing to the placement and security of equip
ment (especially cables) fastened to the ex
terior of the helicopter.

CAUTION

NOTE: Main rotor tracking tip caps manufac


tured by the same firm that manufactures
the tracking and balance equipment, are
components of the tracking and balancing
equipment and may be used instead of tip
cap assembly. In procedures that follow, use
of tip cap assembly is presumed. If tip caps
from the balancing equipment are used, re
fer to the Tracking and Balancing Manual
for tip cap data.

Grease, aircraft and instrument

(1). The helicopter is equipped with five


main rotor blade tracking interrupters
located immediately inboard of each
pitch control link attach clevis on the
rotating swashplate.
(2). The interrupter installation incorpo
rates a double interrupter which may
be used for both tracking and balanc
ing.
(3). Each interrupter insert is attached to
the interrupter body at a different
position (left, center, or right). The
interrupters create five equally spaced
horizontal reflective images, as viewed
by the technician, when the main rotor
blade tips are illuminated with the test
strobe light.
(4). Interrupter blade spacing separates the
image of each main rotor blade tip cap
by approximately 0.25 inch (6.35 mm).
This staggered relationship allows the
technician to view the stopped image of
each blade in order of rotation.
(5). The number one blade is seen on the
extreme left, number two blade is seen
second from left, and so on through
number five which is seen on the
extreme right.
(6). On current configuration helicopters,
the pulse of the double interrupter is so
short that it appears as a single pulse
to the strobe light amplifier. The second
pulse created by the double interrupter
is used during main rotor balancing.
(7). If counterweights are installed, coat the
two interrupter bolts passing through
the swashplate counterweights with
grease (CM116) before installation.
Torque nuts to 30 - 60 inch-pounds
(3.39 - 6.78 Nm).

(8). Torque the three remaining interrupter


nuts to 15 - 20 inch-pounds (1.69 2.26 Nm).
B. Magnetic Pickup Installation

C. Tracking Tip Cap Installation

(Ref. Figure 401)


(1). The helicopter is originally equipped
with a magnetic pickup support bracket
installed with shim washers to prevent
distortion of the bracket when the nut
on the bolt that secures the link bearing
is torqued to 30 - 60 inch-pounds
(3.39 - 6.78 Nm).
(2). To preclude rocking movement of
magnetic pickup support bracket when
installed on stationary swashplate,
check clearance between swashplate
and lower flange of bracket. If gap
exists, tap bent tip of lower flange
(typical both sides of bracket) until bent
tip touches swashplate.
(3). Reinstall by forcing bracket until
elongated bracket holes align with hole
in stationary swashplate.
(4). Install the magnetic pickup and cable
as instructed in the Chadwick-Hel
muth Operation and Service Instruc
tion Handbook.
(5). After final adjustment, torque the
adjustment nut to 15 - 20 inchpounds (1.69 - 2.26 Nm) and ensure
the cable is routed and tied down in
such a manner as not to be dislodged or
interfere with control components at
their extremes of travel.

(6). Ensure the interrupter passing closest


over either early or current configura
tion magnetic pickup, clears pickup by
not less than 0.030 inch (0.762 mm).

(Ref. Figure 401)


(1). The helicopter is originally equipped
with five tip caps that must be removed
and replaced with five tracking tip caps
(ST901).
(2). When blade tracking has been accom
plished or verified, the tracking tip caps
must be removed and original tip caps
installed.
(3). Torque the screw that secures the tip
cap to 15 - 20 inch-pounds (1.69 2.26 Nm).

NOTE: When installing tip cap targets, posi


tion double interrupter over magnetic pick
up. The blade positioned forward is number
5. By rotating rotor head in operating direc
tion, the next blade pointing forward will be
4, then 3, 2 and 1.

1. Blade Tracking Procedure
TIP PATH
PLANE

Table 501 is a summary of the sequence of


required procedures for blade tracking.
(1). Install strobe light, blade tip cap
reflectors and related equipment.
(2). Use 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter
tracking tip cap reflector as a guide for
estimating track accuracy. For example:
(a). A tip cap reflector image displace
ment of 1/2 diameter up, or down,
indicates blade tip is approximately
1/4 inch (6.35 mm) out of track.
(b). One full reflector diameter indicates
1/2 inch (12.7 mm) out of track.

IMAGE A:
IN TRACK

(3). Accomplish blade phasing (Ref. Sec.


62-20-00) when installing new rotor
blades or if ground rock or stick shake
is noted. This must be accomplished
prior to starting tracking procedure.

NOTE: Final rotor system balance cannot be


accomplished until blades are in track.
(4). Ground tracking is basically track-ob
servation and adjustment of idle and
flight rpm. Improper track at idle rpm
is corrected by adjusting length of pitch
control links connecting rotating
swashplate and blade pitch housing.
Ground track at flat pitch and flight
rpm is corrected by blade tab adjust
ment.
(5). Hover track verification is essentially
an observation to check for track
variations between high rpm (flat pitch)
ground track check and hovering.

NOTE: Track adjustments are not made on ba


sis of track observations during hovering.
However, track variations should be noted
and recorded for use during check of track in
forward flight.

Adjustments
(6). Forward flight track is corrected only
by making blade tab adjustments.
Forward flight tracking requires track
observation during following airspeeds
and maneuvers: Flight at 0-100 knots.
Forty-five degree banked turns at
80-100 knots. Flight at 100-155 knots.
(7). Check for proper balance of rotor
system prior to checking autorotation.
(8). Obtaining correct autorotation rpm
consists of checking main rotor rpm

CSP-HMI-2

during stabilized autorotation flight


and adjusting rpm to specified limits as
necessary. Autorotation rpm check
must be accomplished to ensure that
track adjustments do not alter rotor
performance necessary for safe poweroff landings.
A. Blade Track Adjustment
Although adjustment of pitch control links
affects blade track at all rotor speeds, they
should be adjusted only when necessary to
establish acceptable track at ground idle
speed; blade tabs are used for all other track
corrections.

NOTE: Blade tab and/or track can make the


collective heavy or light.
B. Pitch Control Link Adjustment
Repeat this adjustment procedure as necessary
to establish ground idle track:
(1). To lower a blade tip, shorten pitch
control link assembly. To raise a blade
tip, lengthen pitch control link assem
bly. One-sixth of a turn of link (one flat)
raises or lowers blade tip approximately
1/4 inch (6.35 mm).
Center each rod end or (fitting
CAUTION wear) results. Make sure there
is no binding in full up travel position.
(2). After adjusting pitch control link
length, center each rod end in its fitting
and hold while tightening jam nuts;
safety with lockwire.
C. Blade Tab Adjustment
(Ref. Figure 502) Once ground idle track is
obtained, all remaining tracking correction is
accomplished by very slight bending of various
blade tab zones with tab bending tool (ST902).
Different zones of tabs are used to adjust blade
track at different airspeeds. In general, tab
zone A is used for high rpm, flat pitch ground
tracking (369D/E - 103% N2, 369FF/500N 100% N2) and zones C, D, and sometimes E,
are used for tracking at higher airspeeds. Zone
B is used to supplement zone A track correc
tion when maximum tab (5 degrees) has been
applied to zone A; if necessary, zone B may
also be used for correction in 0-110 knot
airspeed range.

Special Tools
(Ref. Section 910000)
Nomenclature
Main rotor blade fixture and tab bending
tool

Minimize bending and restrict


adjustments to very small incre
ments so that bonded trailing edge joint be
tween upper and lower skins is not dam
aged. Tabs must never be displaced more
than five degrees above or below neutral po
sition (parallel to chordline).

CAUTION

(1). To lower blade tip that tends to climb


during ground tracking at high rpm or
during forward flight, bend appropriate
tab section slightly downward; to raise
tip of blade that tends to descend, bend
tab slightly upward. If only slight track
correction is necessary, limit tab
bending to width of bending tool. If
more correction is necessary, bend a
slightly wider section of tab. Use small
adjustments to avoid excessive rebend
ing of tabs.

NOTE: Tab zones on same blade can require


bending in opposite directions. For example,
after bending tab zone A downward to get
good tracking at 60-90 knots, it might be
come necessary to bend tab zone D or E up
ward to correct track at redline airspeed. In
any case, do not use larger tab corrections
than are actually necessary.
(2). Each time blade tabs are adjusted,
recheck ground idle track and readjust
if necessary.
(3). After completion of forward flight
tracking, balance and check autorota
tion rpm.

(Ref. Figure 502) For best results, tracking
should be performed under calm air conditions.
Wind velocity should not exceed six knots
during adjustments. Accurate adjustment of
initial ground track is very important. In most
instances, forward flight tracking problems
can be avoided or greatly reduced by setting
initial track as nearly perfect as possible.
Tolerances specified in following instructions

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
should be considered maximum permissible
deviation rather than desired goal.

NOTE: If main rotor hub or a pitch control rod


end bearing has been replaced, adjust pitch
control link(s) before proceeding with
ground tracking.
(1). Before tracking blades that are not new,
check that normally straight (not to be
used) tab areas are in neutral position
(centered on chordline) and straight.

NOTE: On new (untracked) blades, check that


all tab areas are straight and in neutral po
sition (centered on chordline 0 0.5).
(2). Load helicopter to a gross weight of
approximately 2350 pounds (1066 kg);
then ground idle (approximately
64-65% N1).

blade tab zone A until high rpm ground


track is within tolerance.
E. Hover Track Verification
(Ref. Figure 502)
(1). Hover track verification must be
performed after ground tracking and
before forward flight tracking. Verifica
tion is only a check of hover track. Do
not adjust pitch control links or blade
tabs because of track images observed
during hovering. Tab adjustments often
cause variation between ground track
and hovering track. A large track
variation may indicate that one or more
blades is beyond its chordwise balance
tolerance, but this can only be deter
mined during forward flight tracking.
Perform hover track verification as
follows.

NOTE: Collective pitch stick may be heavy af


(3). Observe tracking tip cap reflector image
by directing strobe light beam toward
blade tip path and sweeping beam
slowly back and forth until reflector
images are clearly seen. Tracking image
should appear directly in front of
helicopter or slightly off helicopter
centerline.
(4). If blades are in track, tip cap reflector
image pattern should resemble image A
(Ref. Figure 501), (no blade tip more
than 1/4 of one tracking reflector
diameter, 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) above or
below adjacent reflectors). If blades are
in track, proceed with (5). below. If
blades are out of track, adjust pitch
control links and repeat step (3). above.
(5). With collective pitch stick full down,
increase engine speed to 103% N2 369D/E, 100% N2 - 369FF/500N and
observe tip cap reflector image to see if
blade track is changed from ground idle
track. When all five blades are in track
within 1/4 of one reflector diameter, 1/8
inch (3.175 mm), ground track is
correct; proceed with hover verification.
When a blade is out of track, adjust

ter tracking reflectors are mounted on blade


tips. This condition is not unusual and may
be disregarded.
(2). Verify helicopter gross weight of
2000-2500 pounds (908-1135 kg).
(3). With collective pitch stick full down,
increase N2 to 103% - 369D/E, 100% 369FF/500N.
(4). Observe tracking reflector images to
verify that ground track is within
limits.
(5). With helicopter in a stable hover,
observe reflector images. If one or more
blades are out of track, record condi
tion(s) for reference during forward
flight tracking.
(6). Proceed with forward flight tracking.
Use of the tracking strobe

WARNING light in night flight is not

recommended. Such use can result in


pilot disorientation or loss of vision
with resultant damage to the helicop
ter and personal injury.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
F. Forward Flight Tracking
(Ref. Figure 502) Forward flight tracking
should be performed whenever vertical flight
vibrations indicate that blades may be out of
track.
(1). Verify helicopter gross weight of
2000-2500 pounds (907-1134 kg).
(2). Perform flight tracking from hover up
to 110 knots at 103% N2 - 369D/E,
100% N2 - 369FF/500N. If flight track
varies from hover track more than 1/2
inch (12.7 mm), bend tab zone A (five
degrees maximum) to limit variation to
tab zone B (five degrees maximum).
2. Main Rotor Blade Tab Adjustment
(1). Check autorotation rpm; rpm must not
be less than 480.
Do not attempt to adjust chord
CAUTION wise balance of a blade found to
be faulty when performing banked turns.
Chordwise balance corrections must be ac
complished by manufacturer (MDHI).
(2). Perform a series of 45 degree banked
turns at 100 knots and observe track
change from level flight. If any blade
climbs or dives more than one inch out
of track with others, chordwise balance
(center of gravity) of that blade is
beyond its tolerance and blade must be
replaced. (Hover track variations of this
type that do not repeat during bankedturn maneuver may be disregarded.)
(3). Perform flight tracking at 110-155
knots and 103% N2 - 369D/E, 100% N2
- 369FF/500N. If necessary, adjust tab
zone B (five degrees maximum) to limit
track variation to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) or
less and to minimize excessive vertical
(one-per revolution) vibration. If
variation is excessive, bend tab zone C
or D (five degrees maximum).

CSP-HMI-2

NOTE: When determining whether blade track


is acceptable, overall vibration level of heli
copter should be determining factor. Some
combinations of rotor blades might produce
higher five-per-revolution vibration as
blade tips are brought into close track; in
such cases, lowest vibration level is pre
ferred, even though observed blade track
may be beyond specified tolerances.
(4). After flight tracking is completed,
perform a Main Rotor System Balance
Procedure and Main Rotor Autorotation
RPM Check.
3. Main Rotor System Balance Procedure
Balance the main rotor system according to
instructions in the Tracking and Balancing
Manual. Since vibration reduction is accom
plished by slight adjustment in phasing, the
instruction outline in the Tracking and
Balancing Manual must be closely followed for
best results. Safety damper turnbuckle after
completing phasing balance adjustments.
4. Main Rotor Autorotation RPM Check
(Ref. Table 502 for 369D/E and Table 503
369FF and 500N). An autorotation rpm check
is required after each blade tracking operation
and whenever rpm is outside limits listed.
Check rotor rpm and make adjustments as
follows.

CAUTION
D All autorotation rpm adjustments shall
be made at the main rotor pitch control
links only. Do not re-adjust mixer control
rods after rigging is accomplished. Fail
ure to observe this precaution may result
in serious damage to rotor system and
controls. Do not adjust control rod end be
yond witness hole.
D Tracking targets reduce blade to tailboom
clearance, performing autorotations to
the ground could result in boom strikes.

NOTE: Change length of all five pitch control


links as necessary to adjust autorotation
rpm. Be sure to lengthen or shorten all five
links exactly same amount or blade track is
changed. One flat (1/6 turn) of control link
body causes approximately four rpm change
in autorotation rpm.

(1). Autorotation Rpm Check: Load 369D/E


helicopter to a gross weight of 2250
pounds (1021 kg): 2350 pounds (1066
kg) for 369FF and 500N. Perform a
practice autorotative descent (Ref.
PFM), taking care not to allow rpm to
exceed rotor speed limitations. During
autorotation take careful note of
stabilized autorotation rpm at one of
gross weight/density altitude combina
tions. After landing, compare observed
rpm with values (Ref. Tables 502 and
503). If observed rpm is within limits in
table, rpm setting is correct. If limits
were exceeded, make corrective adjust
ments according to (2). below, until rpm
is within limits.

NOTE: After autorotation rpm adjustments are


satisfactorily accomplished, remove track
ing equipment before returning helicopter
to service. Be sure to correctly tighten and
safety all bolts after they are reinstalled.
(2). Autorotation Rpm Adjustment: Change
length of all five pitch control links as
required to adjust autorotation rpm.
Make certain all five links are short
ened or lengthened exactly the same
amount or blade track will be altered.

CAUTION

D Do not readjust mixer control rods after


rigging has once been accomplished. Fail

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Main Rotor Blade Tracking
Immediately investigate the

WARNING cause of a sudden onset of


excessive or unusual main rotor vibra
tion prior to continued flight. Under no
circumstance should main rotor track
ing be attempted to correct the prob
lem until a thorough inspection of the
main rotor blades, hub assembly and
strap pack assembly has been per
formed.

NOTE: Ref. Table 201 to isolate ground or inflight blade tracking problems.
Main rotor blade track is observed by means of
reflective tip caps temporarily installed on
each blade and a high-intensity strobe light.
Blade track is determined by observing the
apparent tip cap pattern created by strobe
light pulses synchronized with the rotating
blades. Strobe light electrical power is supplied
by the helicopter electrical system.
a. Tracking must be accomplished in the follow
ing sequence of six steps:
1). Verification of proper blade phasing
(Ref. Main Rotor System Balance Procedure).
2). Ground tracking
(Ref. Main Rotor Ground Tracking).
3). Verification of proper rotor balance
(Ref. Main Rotor System Balance Procedure).
4). Hover verification
(Ref. Hover Track Verification).
5). Forward flight tracking
(Ref. Forward Flight Tracking).
6). Autorotation rpm adjustment
(Ref. Main Rotor Autorotation RPM Check).
b. No attempt should be made to verify or adjust
blade track without first checking and adjust
ing blade phasing, a function of main rotor
damper adjustment.

CAUTION
D Understand the blade tracking sequence
and related adjustments before attempt
ing blade track procedures.
D If main rotor hub balance is suspect, bal
ance rotor hub prior to performing blade
track.
2. Main Rotor System Balancing
Main rotor hub balancing is accomplished by
adding or removing weight (flat washers) as
required at the lead-lag bolts (Ref. Main Rotor
Hub Balancing Procedure). Analysis of main
rotor hub balance is accomplished using
instrumentation that measures and localizes
vibrations due to main rotor hub imbalance.
Data provided by the instrumentation is
plotted on a chart designed to indicate how
much weight must be added or removed from
the lead-lag bolt. No other means of balancing
is to be used.

MAIN ROTOR TRACK AND BALANCE (600N)


REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
1. Main Rotor System Tracking Equipment
Installation
(Ref. Figure 401 and Figure 402) Equipment
needed to track main rotor blades consists of
the tracking and balancing equipment (ST903)
and the tip cap assemblies (ST901). Instruc
tions for equipment installation are contained
in Chadwick-Helmuth Operation and Service
Instruction Handbook.

NOTE: Main rotor tracking tip caps manufac


tured by the same firm that manufactures
the tracking and balance equipment, are
components of the tracking and balancing
equipment and may be used instead of tip
cap assembly (ST901). In procedures that
follow, use of tip cap assembly is presumed.
If tip caps from the balancing equipment are
used, refer to the Tracking and Balancing
Manual for tip cap data.
A. Interrupter Installation
(1). The helicopter is equipped with a main
rotor blade tracking interrupter located
on the rotating swashplate.
(2). The interrupter creates six equally
spaced horizontal reflective images, as
viewed by the technician, when the
main rotor blade tips are illuminated
with the test strobe light.
(3). The balance analyzer separates the
image of each main rotor blade tip cap
by approximately 0.25 inch (6.35 mm).
This staggered relationship allows the
technician to view the stopped image of
each blade in order of rotation.

(4). The number one blade is seen on the


extreme left, number two blade is seen
second from left, and so on thru number
six which is seen on the extreme right.
(5). Additional interrupters can be added to
be compatible with the older balance/
analyzer instrument kits.
(6). Torque the interrupter as shown in
Figure 401.
B. Magnetic Pickup Installation
(1). The helicopter is originally equipped
with a magnetic pickup support bracket
installed with shim washers to prevent
distortion of the bracket when the nut
on the bolt that secures the link bearing
is torqued to 30 - 60 inch-pounds
(3.39 - 6.78 Nm).
(2). To preclude rocking movement of
magnetic pickup support bracket when
installed on stationary swashplate,
check clearance between swashplate
and lower flange of bracket. If gap
exists, tap bent tip of lower flange
(typical both sides of bracket) until bent
tip touches swashplate.
(3). Reinstall by forcing bracket until
elongated bracket holes align with hole
in stationary swashplate.
(4). Install the magnetic pickup and cable
as instructed in the Chadwick-Hel
muth Operation and Service Instruc
tion Handbook.
(5). After final adjustment, torque the
adjustment nut to 15 - 20 inchpounds (1.69 - 2.26 Nm) and ensure
the cable is routed and tied down in
such a manner as not to be dislodged or
interfere with control components at
their extremes of travel.
(6). Ensure the interrupter passing closest
over magnetic pickup, clears pickup by
not less than 0.030 inch (0.76 mm).

must be removed and original tip caps
installed.
(3). Torque the screws that secures the tip
cap to 15 - 20 inch-pounds (1.69 2.26 Nm).

NOTE: Position interrupter over magnetic


pickup. The blade positioned forward is
number 6. By rotating rotor head in operat
ing direction, the next blade pointing for
ward will be 5 then 4, 3, 2 and 1.

D. Main Rotor System Balancing Equipment


Installation
Refer to Chadwick-Helmuth Operation and
Service Instruction Handbook to install that
portion of the balancing equipment (ST903)
needed to balance the main rotor.
When working near engine air
inlet, comply with precautions
to prevent entry of foreign material. During
main rotor balancing the helicopter will be
airborne. Carefully observe precautions in
the Tracking and Balancing Manual relat
ing to the placement and security of equip
ment (especially cables) fastened to the ex
terior of the helicopter.

ADJUSTMENT/TEST
1. Blade Tracking Procedure
TIP PATH PLANE

Table 501 is a summary of the sequence of


required procedures for blade tracking.
(1). Install strobe light, blade tip cap
reflectors and related equipment.
(2). Use 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) diameter
tracking tip cap reflector as a guide for
estimating track accuracy. For example:

IMAGE A: ALL BLADES IN TRACK

IMAGE B: ONE BLADE APPROX. 1/2 IN. (12.7 MM) HIGH

(a). A tip cap reflector image displace


ment of 1/2 diameter up, or down,
indicates blade tip is approximately
1/4 inch (6.35 mm) out of track.
(b). One full reflector diameter indicates
1/2 inch (12.7 mm) out of track.

IMAGE C: ONE BLADE APPROX. 1/2 IN. (12.7 MM) HIGH


ONE BLADE APPROX. 1 IN. (25.4 MM) LOW
6G18-016A
CORRECTIVE ACTION

NOTE: Rocking or stick shake caused by a cor


rectly tracking rotor indicates improper
blade phasing.
(3). Accomplish blade phasing (Ref. Sec.
62-20-60) when installing new rotor
blades or if ground rock or stick shake
is noted. This must be accomplished
prior to starting tracking procedure.

NOTE: Final rotor system balance cannot be


accomplished until blades are in track.
(4). Ground tracking is basically track-ob
servation and adjustment of idle and
flight rpm. Improper track at idle rpm
is corrected by adjusting length of pitch
control links connecting rotating
swashplate and blade pitch housing.
Ground track at flat pitch and flight
rpm is corrected by blade tab adjust
ment.
(5). Hover track verification is essentially
an observation to check for track
variations between high rpm (flat pitch)
ground track check and hovering.

NOTE: Track adjustments are not made on ba


sis of track observations during hovering.
However, track variations should be noted
and recorded for use during check of track in
forward flight.

by making blade tab adjustments.
Forward flight tracking requires track
observation during following airspeeds
and maneuvers: Flight at 0-100 knots.
Forty-five degree banked turns at
80-100 knots. Flight at 100-155 knots.
(7). Check for proper balance of rotor
system prior to checking autorotation.
(8). Obtaining correct autorotation rpm
consists of checking main rotor rpm

and adjusting rpm to specified limits as
necessary. Autorotation rpm check
must be accomplished to ensure that
track adjustments do not alter rotor
performance necessary for safe poweroff landings.

sometimes E, are used for tracking at higher


airspeeds. Zone B is used to supplement zone
A track correction when maximum tab (5
degrees) has been applied to zone A; if
necessary, zone B may also be used for
correction in 0-110 knot airspeed range.

A. Blade Track Adjustment


Although adjustment of pitch control links
affects blade track at all rotor speeds, they
should be adjusted only when necessary to
establish acceptable track at ground idle
speed; blade tabs are used for all other track
corrections.

NOTE: Blade tab and/or track can make the


collective heavy or light.
B. Pitch Control Link Adjustment
Repeat this adjustment procedure as necessary
to establish ground idle track:
(1). To lower a blade tip, shorten pitch
control link assembly. To raise a blade
tip, lengthen pitch control link assem
bly. One-sixth of a turn of link (one flat)
raises or lowers blade tip approximately
1/4 inch (6.35 mm).
Center each rod end or pitch
case and/or swashplate wear
will result. Ensure there is no binding in full
up travel position.

CAUTION

(2). After adjusting pitch control link


length, center each rod end in its fitting
and hold while tightening jam nuts;
safety with lockwire.
C. Blade Tab Adjustment
(Ref. Figure 502) Once ground idle track is
obtained, all remaining tracking correction is
accomplished by very slight bending of various
blade tab zones with tab bending tool (ST902).
Different zones of tabs are used to adjust blade
track at different airspeeds. In general, tab
zone A is used for high-rpm, flat pitch ground
tracking (100% N2) and zones C, D, and

Minimize bending and restrict


adjustments to very small incre
ments so that bonded trailing edge joint be
tween upper and lower skins is not dam
aged. Tabs must never be displaced more
than five degrees above or below neutral po
sition (parallel to chordline).

CAUTION

(1). To lower blade tip that tends to climb


during ground tracking at high rpm or
during forward flight, bend appropriate
tab section slightly downward; to raise
tip of blade that tends to descend, bend
tab slightly upward. If only slight track
correction is necessary, limit tab
bending to width of bending tool. If
more correction is necessary, bend a
slightly wider section of tab. Use small
adjustments to avoid excessive rebend
ing of tabs.

NOTE: Tab zones on same blade can require


bending in opposite directions. For example,
after bending tab zone A downward to get
good tracking at 60-90 knots, it might be
come necessary to bend tab zone D or E (Ref.
Figure 502) upward to correct track at red
line airspeed. In any case, do not use larger
tab corrections than are actually necessary.
(2). Each time blade tabs are adjusted,
recheck ground idle track and readjust
if necessary.
(3). After completion of forward flight
tracking, balance and check autorota
tion rpm.

D. Main Rotor Ground Tracking
For best results, tracking should be performed
under calm air conditions. Wind velocity
should not exceed six knots during adjust
ments. Accurate adjustment of initial ground
track is very important. In most instances,
forward flight tracking problems can be
avoided or greatly reduced by setting initial
track as nearly perfect as possible. Tolerances
specified in following instructions should be
considered maximum permissible deviation
rather than desired goal.

NOTE: If main rotor hub or a pitch control rod


end bearing has been replaced, adjust pitch
control link(s) before proceeding with
ground tracking.
(1). Before tracking blades that are not new,
check that normally straight (not to be
used) tab areas are in neutral position
(centered on chordline) and straight.

NOTE: On new (untracked) blades, check that


all tab areas are straight and in neutral po
sition (centered on chordline 0.0 0.5).
(2). Load helicopter to a gross weight of
approximately 2350 pounds (1066.9 kg);
then ground idle (approximately
64-65% N1) with collective pitch stick
full down.
(3). Observe tracking tip cap reflector image
by directing strobe light beam toward
blade tip path and sweeping beam
slowly back and forth until reflector
images are clearly seen. Tracking image
should appear directly in front of
helicopter or slightly off helicopter
centerline.
(4). If blades are in track, tip cap reflector
image pattern should resemble image
A, (Ref. Figure 501) (no blade tip more
than 1/4 of one tracking reflector
diameter, 1/8 inch (3.175 mm), above or
below adjacent reflectors). If blades are
in track, proceed with step (5). below. If

blades are out of track, adjust pitch


control links and repeat step (3). above.
(5). With collective pitch stick full down,
increase engine speed to 100% N2 and
observe tip cap reflector image to see if
blade track is changed from ground idle
track. When all six blades are in track
within 1/4 of one reflector diameter,
ground track is correct; proceed with
hover verification. When a blade is out
of track, adjust blade tab zone A until
high rpm ground track is within
tolerance.
E. Hover Track Verification
(Ref. Figure 504)

NOTE: Collective pitch stick may be ``heavy af


ter tracking reflectors are mounted on blade
tips. This condition is not unusual and may
be disregarded.
(2). Verify helicopter gross weight of
2000-2500 pounds (908-1135 kg).
(3). With collective pitch stick full down,
increase N2 to 100%.
(4). Observe tracking reflector images to
verify that ground track is within
limits.
(5). With helicopter in a stable hover,
observe reflector images. If one or more
blades are out of track, record condi
tion(s) for reference during forward
flight tracking.
(6). Proceed with forward flight tracking.

Revision 23

recommended. Such use can result in


pilot disorientation or loss of vision
with resultant damage to the helicop
ter and personal injury.
F. Forward Flight Tracking
(Ref. Figure 502 and Figure 506 thru
Figure 508) Forward flight tracking should be
performed whenever vertical flight vibrations
indicate that blades may be out of track.
(1). Verify helicopter gross weight of
2000-2500 pounds (908-1135 kg).

NOTE: When bending trim tabs, do not bend


more than 1.5 between six inch sections.

(1). Hover track verification must be


performed after ground tracking and
before forward flight tracking. Verifica
tion is only a check of hover track. Do
not adjust pitch control links or blade
tabs because of track images observed
during hovering. Tab adjustments often
cause variation between ground track
and hovering track. A large track
variation may indicate that one or more
blades is beyond its chordwise balance
tolerance, but this can only be deter
mined during forward flight tracking.
Perform hover track verification as
follows.

Page 504

WARNING light in night flight is not

18-10-60

(2). Perform flight tracking from hover up


to 110 knots at 100% N2. If flight track
varies from hover track more than 1/2
inch (12.7 mm), bend tab zone A (five
degrees maximum) to limit variation to
tab zone B (five degrees maximum).
(3). Check autorotation percentage; per
centage must not be less than 480
(90%).
Do not attempt to adjust chord
wise balance of a blade found to
be faulty when performing banked turns.
Chordwise balance corrections must be ac
complished by manufacturer (MDHI).

CAUTION

(4). Perform a series of 45 degree banked


turns at 100 knots and observe track
change from level flight. If any blade
climbs or dives more than one inch
(2.54 cm) out of track with others,
chordwise balance (center of gravity) of
that blade is beyond its tolerance and
blade must be replaced or balanced by
an MDHI Field Representative. (Hover
track variations of this type that do not
repeat during banked-turn maneuver
may be disregarded.)
(5). Perform flight tracking at 100% N2. If
necessary, adjust tab zone B (five
degrees maximum) to limit track
variation to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) or less
and to minimize excessive vertical
(one-per revolution) vibration. If
variation is excessive, bend tab zone C
or D (five degrees maximum).

percentage. Be sure to lengthen or shorten
all six links exactly same amount or blade
track is changed. One flat (1/6-turn) of con
trol link body causes approximately one per
cent change in autorotation percent.

(6). After flight tracking is completed,


perform a Main Rotor System Balance
Procedure and Main Rotor Autorotation
RPM Check.
2. Main Rotor System Balance Procedure
Balance the main rotor system according to
instructions in the Chadwick-Helmuth
Operation and Service Instruction Handbook.
The maximum allowable bal
ance weight per lead-lag bolt on
the main rotor hub assembly is 143 grams.

CAUTION

3. Main Rotor Autorotation Percentage


Check
(Ref. Table 502) An autorotation percentage
check is required after each blade tracking
operation and whenever rpm is outside limits
listed. Check rotor rpm and make adjustments
as follows.

CAUTION
D All autorotation percentage adjustments
shall be made at the main rotor pitch con
trol links only. Do not re-adjust mixer
control rods after rigging is accomplished.
Failure to observe this precaution may re
sult in serious damage to rotor system
and controls. Do not adjust control rod
end beyond witness hole.
D Tracking targets reduce blade to tailboom
clearance, performing autorotations to
the ground could result in boom strikes.

(1). Autorotation Percentage Check (Ref.


Table 502) Load helicopter to a gross
weight of 2800 25 pounds (1270 11
kg). Perform a practice autorotative
descent (Ref. RFM), taking care not to
allow percentage to exceed rotor speed
limitations. During autorotation, take
careful note of stabilized autorotation
percentage at one of the gross weight/
density altitude combinations. After
landing, compare observed percentage
with values. If observed percentage is
within limits in table, percentage
setting is correct. If limits were exceed
ed, make corrective adjustments
according to Autorotation Percentage
Adjustment, until percentage is within
limits.
(2). Autorotation Percentage Adjustment:
Change length of all six pitch control
links as required to adjust autorotation
percentage. Make certain all six links
are shortened or lengthened exactly the
same amount or blade track will be
altered.

NOTE: After autorotation percentage adjust


ments are satisfactorily accomplished, re
move tracking equipment before returning
helicopter to service. Be sure to correctly
tighten and safety all bolts after they are re
installed.

TAIL ROTOR BALANCE


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Tail Rotor Balancing

Item

Special Tools
(Ref. Section 910000)
Nomenclature

ST903

Balancer/analyzer instrument kit

Balancing is accomplished by use of a balanc


ing kit (ST903). The carrying case of this kit
contains all instrumentation, balance charts
and miscellaneous items needed to balance the
tail rotor. Also included is a track and balance
handbook for use with the equipment to
correct balance when such can be obtained by
addition or subtraction of weight at pitch-arm
studs or at blade tips.
Since vibration reduction by weight adjust
ment is dependent on proper mechanical
condition of the tail rotor and tail rotor drive
system, troubleshooting information (Ref.
Chap. 64) should be used with balancing kit
instructions. Acceptance criteria for balance
and vibration are contained in the balancing
kit and on each balance chart. Main rotor and
tail rotor balancing spare kit contains spare
screws, washers and tip weights.

NOTE: If tail rotor balance is difficult to


achieve and horizontal stabilizer resonance
is noted refer to 421-087-505 Horizontal
Stabilizer Tab Weight Installation.
A. Balance at Blade Tip
When balancing procedures indicate that
weight should be added to a tip, it is prefer
able, if possible, to instead remove an equiva
lent amount from the opposite tip to keep
overall weight to a minimum. Installation of
tip weights is not mandatory. However, open
screw holes are not permitted; screws must be
installed. Shorter than normal screws may be
used for balance if minimal thread engage
ment of 5/16 inch (7.9375 mm) exists.
(1). Remove tip-weight screws and weights
(Ref. Figure 201). Select balancing
hardware indicated by balancing

procedure. Tail rotor balance spare kit


contains extra tip weights and screws.
(2). Install combination of weights required.
Maximum weight permitted is thirtyfour grams at each tip (Ref. Table 201).
Torque screws to 21 - 24 inch-pounds
(2.37 - 2.71 Nm).
B. Balance at Blade Pitch Arm
(Ref. Figure 201) Weight increase at light pitch
arm may be obtained by removal of equivalent
washer weight from opposite pitch arm.
Always remove washers from opposite pitch
arm, if installed, and subtract from weight to
be added before adding more weight. For
washer data, refer to Table 201. Main rotor
and tail rotor balancing spare kit contains
extra washers. Maximum washer weight
allowed at either pitch arm bolt is 26.91 grams
(23 washers).

NOTE:
D A tail rotor out-of-balance condition that
cannot be corrected by standard balanc
ing procedures may be an indication of ex
cessive play in tail rotor hub components.
D There is possibility of slight weight varia
tion between pitch control links.
(1). If tail rotor has maximum balance
washer weight allowed on one pitch
arm, compare the two links.
(2). If pitch link opposite the weight
requirement appears larger, exchange
one link for the other and repeat
vibration analysis.
(3). If, as a result of parts peculiarity,
maximum allowable weight at one pitch
arm does not correct assembly balance,
tail rotor hub may be shifted in fork
and hub-to-fork shimming adjusted, if
maximum allowable play in fork
bearings is not exceeded. This is done
by transferring fork-to-hub spacing
shims from balance weighted side to
opposite side of hub, according to hub
and fork assembly procedures (Ref.
COM).

(a). Chordwise weight shift resulting


from each 0.001 inch (0.0254 mm) of
spacing thickness transferred
reduces weight requirement at
weighted pitch arm by one
HS306-227L balance washer.
(b). Transferring one 369A1717-53
spacing shim, 0.010 inch (0.254 mm)
thickness, allows initial removal of
10 thin washers from pitch arm and
thereby allows more flexibility for
further balance correction during
vibration analysis.
(4). It should be noted that spanwise
balance is probably affected by any
chordwise shift of fork.
(5). If maximum allowable play in fork
bearings is exceeded, bearings must be
replaced (Ref. COM).
(6). Replacement or adjustment of parts
requires balancing of tail rotor follow
ing re-assembly.
C. Short Method Balance Check
(Ref. Figure 201 and Figure 202) Use tail rotor
vibration analyzer (ST903) throughout this
procedure.
(1). Mount accelerometer into tail rotor
gearbox breather plug as noted in
Chadwick-Helmuth Operation and
Service Handbook.
(2). Connect accelerometer and balancer DC
power cables as noted in the ChadwickHelmuth Operation and Service
Handbook.
(3). Apply a retro-reflective target material
on blade root fitting. For four-bladed
tail rotor, one blade of the outboard tail
rotor assembly.

(6). Initially balance the tail rotor until


vibration level is 0.1 IPS (0.85 MIL) or
less as follows:
(a). Add weights to blade tips only. For
four-bladed tail rotor, divide weights
as necessary between the two lower
blades to make the total weight
vector in the downward direction.

NOTE: If more than 15 grams of tip weight (in


cluding screw) is necessary on any one
blade, use the ``long method'' balance proce
dure.
(7). After initial balance, reset RPM TUNE
dial, according to Chadwick-Helmuth
Handbook for final balancing. Direct
strobe at tail rotor and adjust per
Chadwick-Helmuth instructions for
VERIFY TUNE. Apply the same
method used for initial balance to
balance until vibration level is 0.1 IPS
(0.85 MIL) or less.
D. Long Method Balance Check
(FourBladed Tail Rotor)
(Ref. Figure 203 and Figure 204) A long
method balance check must be accomplished
each time hubs and fork of four-bladed tail
rotor are reassembled. Use tail rotor vibration
analyzer (ST903) throughout the procedure.
First runup of tail rotor assem
bly should be accomplished in a
cautious manner, increasing tail rotor rpm
slowly so that vibrations from out-of-ba
lance tail rotor assembly will not cause dam
age.

CAUTION

NOTE: Prior to performing long method bal


ance check, ensure hub is centered on fork
and elastomeric bearings are preloaded cor
rectly.

(4). Connect cables and instruments and


adjust settings as noted in ChadwickHelmuth Handbook.

(1). With outboard blade removed, balance


inboard blade by adjusting tip weights
and washers at pitch arm bolt to
achieve 0.10 IPS (0.85 MIL) or less
vibration level at 2100 rpm (input shaft
of transmission). This corresponds to
tail rotor rpm of 2168.

(5). Direct strobe at tail rotor and adjust


per Chadwick-Helmuth instructions for
VERIFY TUNE.

(2). Install outboard blade and hub assem


bly; check balance of outboard blades by
adjusting weights to obtain 0.10 IPS

(0.85 MIL) vibration or less, using same
method as used for inboard blade
balancing, except as shown in
Figure 204.
2. Horizontal Stabilizer Tuning
Installation of tab weight is optional on the
421-087 -505 horizontal stabilizer if difficulty
in tail rotor balance and horizontal stabilizer
tab resonance vibration is encountered.
(1). With helicopter on flat smooth surface,
operate engine at 102%-105% N2 and
observe horizontal stabilizer tab.
(2). If tab resonance vibration occurs,
remove the horizontal stabilizer

CSP-HMI-2

assembly and balance the tail rotor


assembly.
(3). After balancing the tail rotor assembly,
reinstall the horizontal stabilizer.
(4). Run engine at 102%-105% N2 and
observe horizontal stabilizer tab.
(5). If tab resonance occurs and tail rotor
balance is no longer acceptable, install
tab weight to horizontal stabilizer right
tab (Ref. Sec. 53-50-10, Horizontal
Stabilizer Tab Weight Installation).
(6). If needed, a one ounce weight may also
be installed on left tab.
(7). A maximum of two ounces may be
installed on each tab.

NOTARR ANTITORQUE SYSTEM FAN BALANCE


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Fan Balancing
The NOTARr anti-torque system uses a
fan-driven air circulation system within the
tailboom to control the directional heading of
the helicopter. The rudder pedals in the cockpit
control the blade angle of the fan assembly.
The fan assembly operates at a constant speed
of 5388 RPM at 100% N2.
Balancing is accomplished by use of a balanc
ing kit. The carrying case of this kit contains
all instrumentation, balance charts and
miscellaneous items needed to balance the fan
assembly. Also included is a track and balance
handbook for use with the equipment to
correct balance when such can be obtained by
addition or subtraction of weight at studs on
the fan assembly.
Since vibration reduction by weight adjust
ment is dependent on proper mechanical
condition of fan drive system, troubleshooting
information (Ref. Chap. 64) should be used
with balancing kit instructions. Acceptance
criteria for balance and vibration are con
tained in the balancing kit and on each
balance chart.
2. Fan Balance Check
(Ref. Figure 201)

(4). Install velometer on bracket located at


the 6:00 o'clock position (Ref.
Figure 203).
(5). Install magnetic pick-up and velometer
wiring (Ref. Figure 203).
Wiring must be secured to pre
vent them from being ingested
into the fan assembly during run-up.

CAUTION

(6). Position the anti-torque pedals at


neutral during fan balancing.

NOTE: The neutral position is 62% from full


left or approximately one inch of right pedal
from pedals centered. This pedal position
produces minimum fan pitch and closes the
thruster.

WARNING
D Damage could occur if the antitorque pedals are not kept at neutral
while the helicopter is operating
with the fan/hub transmission fair
ing removed.
D Operators and authorized observers
should remain in the designated
areas during balancing operations.
D Wearing loose clothing or having ma
terials in shirt pockets during opera
tions can result in injury to person
nel and/or damage to aircraft.

TORQUE
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Torque Wrenches
Torque wrenches should be of good quality and
calibration should be verified at regular
intervals to verify accuracy. Torque wrench
accuracy at room temperature, 70F (22 C)
must be within following limits.
(1). From zero through 19 percent of torque
wrench range, error may not exceed 7
percent of load applied.
(2). From 20 thru 79 percent of torque
wrench range, error may not exceed 4
percent load applied.
(3). From 80 to 100 percent of torque
wrench range, error may not exceed 5
percent of load applied.
2. Application of Torque Wrench Loads
(Ref. Table 201 thru Table 203) Recommended
tightening torque values and minimum drag
torque values for fine and coarse thread nuts,
and minimum breakaway torque for used
self-locking bolts or screws are listed in
Table 201 and Table 202. Requirements
governing application of torque loads follow.
These requirements apply throughout this
manual except where otherwise specifically
indicated.
(1). Values apply to cadmium-plated bolts,
cadmium-plated nuts coated with
molybdenum disulfide (MoS2).
(2). Manufacturer applied lubricant must
not be removed nor additional lubricant
added.
(3). Bolts, nuts and surfaces they bear on
must be clean, dry and free of lubricant
except as stated in requirement above.
(4). Turning (drag) torque required to
install self-locking nut or bolt up to
point of final tightening must always be
added to final torque value specified or
the maintenance instruction, as
applicable.

(5). Torque values specified in this manual


are special torque values that apply
instead of those listed.
(6). If adapters are used such that adapter
and torque wrench are not at right
angles (90 degrees) to each other,
wrench or indicator reading must be
corrected.
(7). Any re-use of self-locking nuts over 3/8
inch is governed by values listed in
Table 203.
(8). Castellated nuts aretorqued to the
minimum side of the recommended
torque range. Continue to tighten the
nut until the hole of the cotter pin lines
up with the castellation without
exceeding the maximum specified
torque.
(9). Bolt must not be rotated during
application of torque to mating nut.
3. Bearings Installation, Staking or Swaging
Force
The following procedure explains how to
convert from a given `Force` which is required
to perform a task to a proper hydraulic
pressure reading.
(1). Determine the diameter of the ram
(staking or swaging contact surface) on
the hydraulic press to be used.

NOTE: The hydraulic press to be used must


have a pressure gauge.
(2). Divide the ram diameter by two to get
the radius.
(3). Multiply 3.14159 (pi) times the Radius
squared (R2). This will give the area of
the ram.
(4). Divide the force required for the task by
the area of the ram. This gives the
actual PSI reading for the hydraulic
press pressure gauge needed to perform
the task.

EXAMPLE:

5. Standard Hardware Torque Values

Ram Diameter = 2.65 in. (6.731 cm)


Ram Radius (R) = 1.325 in. (3.366 cm)

The following tables list torque values for


standard hardware by part number.

Radius squared (R2) = 1.756 in.2 (8.548 cm2)

NOTE: If unsure of hardware type, refer to

R2 X 3.1416 = 5.517 in. (26.854 cm) (Area of


ram)
Force required = 7500-8500 lbs. (3402-3856
kg) (variable)
7500-8500 lbs. (3402-3856 kg) / 5.517 in.
(26.854 cm) = 1359-1540 PSI (9370-10618
kPa)
PSI required =1359 PSI (9370 kPa) Min.
1540 PSI (10618 kPa) Max.
Force needed/(R2) X 3.1416 = Pressure Gauge
Reading
4. Control Tube Jam Nut Torquing
(1). Tighten jam nuts against control rods
by holding rodend with wrench.

NOTE: Do not tighten with rodend against fit


ting.
(2). Ensure rodends are not preloaded after
torquing jam nuts.

CSP-IPC-4.
(1). Table 201 lists self-locking tensiontype fastener torque values.
(2). Table 202 lists shear-type fastener
torque values.
(3). Table 203 lists maximum and minimum
self-locking fastener drag (run-on)
torque values.
Table 203 lists self-locking
(run-on) torque values, i.e.;
torque required to overcome the friction of
the self-locking feature of fastener threads
prior to clamp-up and final tightening. Any
self-locking fastener that can be run down
with the fingers after the locking feature en
gages must be replaced. Determine final
torque value by adding the run-on torque to
the specified final clamping torque. Final
clamping torque values are listed in
Table 201 and Table 202.

(Ref. Section 910000)
Nomenclature

CM234

Solvent, dry-cleaning

General cleaning of oil and dirt deposits from


the helicopter and its components must be
accomplished by using dry-cleaning solvent
(CM234), standard commercial grade kerosene
or a solution of detergent soap and water.
Exceptions that must be observed are specified
in the following cleaning paragraphs.

Some commercial cleaning


CAUTION agents, such as readily avail
able household cleaners, contain chemicals
that can cause corrosive action and/or leave
residue that can result in corrosion. Exam
ples of cleaning agents that are not to be
used are ``Fantastic and ``409 type clean
ers, or locally made strong soap cleaners.
2. Fuselage Interior Trim and Upholstery
Cleaning
(1). Clean dirt or dust accumulations from
floors and other metal surfaces with
vacuum cleaner or small hand brush.
(2). Sponge soiled upholstery and trim
panels with a mild soap and lukewarm
water solution. Avoid complete soaking
of upholstery and trim panels. Wipe
solution residue from upholstery with
cloth dampened by clean water.
(3). Remove imbedded grease or dirt from
upholstery and carpeting by sponging
or wiping with an upholstery cleaning
solvent recommended for the ``applica
ble fabric (nylon, vinyl, leather, etc).

NOTE: If necessary, seat upholstery may be


thoroughly dry-cleaned with solvent. When
complete dry-cleaning is performed, uphol
stery must be re-flameproofed.

3. Airframe Exterior and Rotor Blades


Cleaning

Item
CM234

Consumable Materials
(Ref. Section 910000)
Nomenclature
Solvent, dry-cleaning

Use care to prevent scratching


of aluminum skin when clean
ing main rotor blades. Never use volatile
solvents or abrasive materials. Never apply
bending loads to blades or blade tabs during
cleaning.

CAUTION

NOTE: Avoid directing soapy or clean water


concentrations toward engine air intake
area and instrument static source ports in
aft fairing.
(1). Wash helicopter exterior, including
fiberglass components and rotor blades,
when necessary, using solution of clean
water and mild soap.
(2). Clean surfaces stained with fuel or oil
by wiping with soft cloth dampened by
solvent (CM234), followed by washing
with clean water and mild soap.
(3). Rinse washed areas with water and dry
with soft cloth.
4. Transparent Plastic Cleaning
(1). Clean outside surfaces of plastic panels
by rinsing with clean water and
rubbing lightly with palm of hand.
(2). Use mild soap and water solution or
aircraft type plastic cleaner to remove
oil spots and similar residue.
Never attempt to dry plastic
panels with cloth. To do so
causes any abrasive particles lying on plas
tic to scratch or dull surface. Wiping with
dry cloth also builds up an electrostatic
charge that attracts dust particles from air.

CAUTION

(3). After dirt is removed from surface of


plastic, rinse with clean water and let
air-dry or dry with soft, damp chamois.

Paint remover

CM230

Paint remover

Use paint remover (CM229 or CM230) when it


becomes necessary to remove finish paint
coatings. Ordinarily, use of paint remover
should be limited to stripping of paint from
parts that require magnetic-particle or
fluorescent-penetrant inspection and to parts
that require removal of excessive paint
buildup. When possible, use high-pressure
water spray to rinse off paint remover and
paint particles and to neutralize paint
remover. Solvent type paint remover usually
does not remove primer coating; acid type
solvent removes primer.
If paint remover is used in vicin
ity of drive shaft couplings, be
sure couplings are completely masked and
covered. If paint remover contacts coupling
diaphragms, rust spots will develop and cou
pling replacement is required. If acid type
paint remover is used, comply with all spe
cial safety precautions listed on container.

CORROSION PREVENTION
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Corrosion Control
The airframe is fabricated primarily of
aluminum and some magnesium alloys, with
selective use of stainless steel and titanium,
and should be checked regularly for any signs
of corrosion, especially at points of dissimilar
and overlapping metal contact. Corrosion of
dissimilar metals is the result of several
conditions; lack of sufficient insulation in
areas of metal contact, tears or punctures in
metal itself, and areas where protective
finishes have been scuffed, scratched, chipped
or worn away. Perform corrosion control
according to MDHI Corrosion Control Manual
(CSP-A-3) and instructions in the following
paragraphs.
Do not apply potassium hydrox
ide to or near bolts, fasteners,
seams, or faying surfaces. Immediately af
ter completing the magnesium and alumi
num test (Ref. NOTE below), wash the
tested area with water to prevent burns and
continued action on the material.

CAUTION

(1). Coat contacting surfaces with layer of


sealing compound (CM425), in addition
to primer (CM318).

CAUTION

Do not use steel washers.

(2). Use 5056S aluminum alloy washers


under boltheads and nuts that would
otherwise contact magnesium. If 5056S
aluminum is not available, use 5052S
alloy washers.
(3). Apply primer on attaching hardware
before installation.
3. Sealing Compound Application
Use sealing compound (CM425) to replace
loose or missing sealant on exterior surfaces.
Sealant is used to fill seams and joints that
might trap water. Apply sealant as follows:

(Ref. Section 910000)
Nomenclature
Sealing compound

NOTE: To differentiate between aluminum and


magnesium alloy, apply one drop of ordinary
potassium hydroxide (dropped from a glass
rod) to the surface of the metal being tested.
If the alloy is aluminum, a foaming or boil
ing action of the liquid, accompanied by a
black discoloration of the metal, will imme
diately occur. If the alloy is magnesium, no
reaction will be evidenced.
2. Magnesium Alloys Insulation Against
Corrosion
To prevent galvanic corrosion between
magnesium and any dissimilar metals:

Sealing compound

(1). Check that seam or joint is clean and


free of foreign matter and moisture.
(2). Apply sealant with putty knife or
similar tool.
(3). Force sealant well down into seam to
eliminate any air pockets.
(4). Fillet sealant to give joint or seam a
smooth appearance.
4. Main Rotor Hub Corrosion Prevention
(TriFlow Wash Procedure)
The following procedure will help prevent
corrosion of main rotor hub components,
especially on helicopters operated in marine
environments. The procedure should be
accomplished following the last flight each day
for helicopters operated in marine or other
corrosive environments, and at each 25-hour
inspection (Ref. Chap. 05), or more often if
desired, for helicopters not operated in
corrosive environments.

Use care when working

WARNING around turning rotor blades.


Stay low. Remain on right side of heli
copter to avoid tail rotor blades.

NOTE: Perform the first step below prior to en


gine shutdown, following the last flight of
the day if possible. When the rotor stops
turning, the laminates of the strap-pack
spread apart slightly. Contaminates col
lected on the edges of the strap-pack assem
bly can enter the area between the lami
nates as they spread apart. If the rotor
continues turning until the contaminants
are washed away, centrifugal force will keep
the laminates compressed and not allow the
corrosive substances to enter the area be
tween the laminates.

The following procedure will help prevent


corrosion of main rotor blades. The procedure
should be accomplished following the last
flight each day on helicopters operated in
marine or other corrosive environments, and
weekly for helicopters not operated in corrosive
environments.

C. Coin Tap Inspection

Revision 40

CM234

Solvent, dry-cleaning

The coin tap method of inspection is used


evaluate composite structures. The coin tap is
limited to detecting shallow defects.
When inspecting cored structure, two sided
access is required. When multiple laminates
are installed over core, the core bond-line
cannot be evaluated.
The sound of an acceptable part can vary
considerably and the entire area must be
tapped in order to detect any variance.
Compare the sound of the suspected area with
the sound of a known acceptable area.
An acceptable area will have a slightly sharper
or crisper sounding response. A dead or flat
sound is unacceptable, and requires a more
thorough type of NDI.
Any suspect areas must be in
spected by person(s) qualified in
the appropriate NDI. Contact MDHI cogni
zant engineering for recommended NDI pro
cedures and applications.

CAUTION

(1). Thoroughly clean area to be inspected


with cleaning solvent (CM234).
(2). Perform a visual inspection for any
raised or blistered appearing areas.

NOTE: Tap the entire area to be inspected in


cluding any surrounding area of like
construction.

VENTILATION SYSTEMS
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Environmental Systems
The cabin ventilation system consists of a
ventilation valve, control cable and snapvents
installed in the door windows. The ventilation
valve contains a moveable vane operated by a
push-pull cable mounted in the right center of
the instrument panel. The control cable locks
the vane in any selected position, controlling
airflow. Fresh air forced through an opening in
the lower front canopy passes through the
valve and is directed into the cabin.
Adjustable snapvents are installed in each
door window. The snapvents can be opened
and rotated to face the airstream to supple
ment fresh air intake, or in the trail position,
provide a vent-air exhaust outlet.
Before high speed flight; ensure
that all snapvents are posi
tioned up, aft or down with outs in the trail
position. Door damage and vibrations could
occur if vent cutouts face the airstream.

CAUTION

NOTE:
D The following maintenance procedures
cover round or pointed nose helicopters.
Whenever reference is given to diffuser
type valve this is for round nose military

HEATING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Heating System Description and
Operation
(1). The heating system mixes cold air
supplied by the oil cooler blower and
hot air extracted from the engine
compressor scroll. Cabin air tempera
ture is mechanically controlled with a
handle in the crew compartment that
positions a cable operated mixing valve.
The system distributes temperature
controlled air via a muffler and ducts to
strategically located cabin outlets.
(2). The heat control valve is mounted on
the forward left side of the firewall
bulkhead. The valve consists of a
housing that contains air control ports
for mixing hot and cold air. A 90 inlet
elbow attaches the valve to the com
pressor bleed air tube through the
firewall bulkhead. The valve housing
inlet contains a stainless steel bleed air
flow control ball valve that is rotated by
an attached drive pulley. A nozzle on
the inlet body injects hot air down
stream of cold air. A fitting supports the
cold air control vane and drive pulley
that is rotated by a drive belt. Hot air is
mixed with cold air at a variable ratio.
Because engine bleed air temperature
is approximately 500F (260C), cold air
is never completely shut off while the
system is in use.
(3). The duct system and the direct air flow
muffler are forward of the firewall and

enclosed behind the heating system


access cover. Air is Ducted overhead
from the muffler into the cargo/pas
senger and crew compartments. Six
fan-shaped diffusers distribute air
throughout the cabin.
(4). The muffler consists of a laminated
fiberglass housing, perforated alumi
num core, and a one inch layer of
fiberglass wool around the core.
(5). Air outlets are also provided for the
cargo/passenger compartment through
an overhead duct diffuser valve
mounted in the passenger convenience
panel. Diffuser valve airflow can be
adjusted as required.
(a). The -519 heating system adds
ducting to provide two floor-heated
air outlets.
(b). The -521 heating system provides
ducting for one floor-heated air
outlet.
(6). The control handle, control cable and
conduit assembly are incorporated in
the left side of the duct attached to the
overhead canopy structure. Moving the
control handle forward opens the heat
control valve. Control handle travel is
approximately 2-3/4 inches (6.985 cm)
from open to closed. Cable routing is
along the left side of the main rotor
mast support structure and down to the
firewall mounted control valve.

EQUIPMENT/FURNISHINGS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Interior Furnishings Description
Standard furnishings on the 369D/E/FF 500/600N Helicopters include seats in the crew
and passenger compartments, seat belts,
interior trim, floor trim and covering, and
other miscellaneous furnishing items.
A. Upholstered Seat Furnishings
Configuration
The helicopters are equipped with the basic
interior furnishings configuration. This
includes upholstered seats with a bench type
in the passenger compartment and three
individual seats in the crew compartment. The
center crew seat is removed for the dual
controls option. Seat belts are provided at all
seat locations. Interior trim finish is provided
throughout interior cabin enclosure.
The 600N helicopter comes equipped with a
mid position bench seat. At this position in the
passenger compartment, the mid seat can be
positioned in either the forward or aft facing
configuration.
B. Mesh Seat Furnishings Configuration
The helicopters are equipped with a basic
interior furnishings configuration. This
includes two mesh seats and seat backs in the
crew compartment and two stowable mesh
seats in the passenger/cargo compartment.
Seat belts are provided at all seat locations.
Interior trim is provided for the passenger
convenience panel, transmission, passenger aft
bulkhead, inboard collective pitch stick, and
cyclic controls.
C. Crew Upholstered Seating
The crew compartment on all models with
single controls has a three-place seating
arrangement. A two-place seating arrange
ment is provided for optional dual controls.
Crew compartment seats consist of left and
right side seat cushions and, if applicable, a
center seat cushion. Each seat has a seat back
cushion. Crew compartment seat structure is
an integral part of the helicopter fuselage.

D. Crew Mesh Seating


The crew compartment is equipped with
two-part seats. Each two-part seat consists of
a seat back and a seat bottom constructed of
aluminum tubing frames with a nylon mesh
covering and rubber pads cemented to the
frame mounting plates. The seat backs are
mounted on the Station 78.50 canted frame.
Seat bottoms are secured on top of the pilot's
seat structure.
E. Passenger Upholstered Bench Seating
Passenger compartment seating is provided by
a bench type tubular steel structure furnished
with upholstered cushions. The bench seat is
adjustable fore and aft as well as up and down,
and may be folded or quickly removed when
cargo space is required. All seat cushions are
either upholstered and trimmed with vinyl, or
may be all vinyl. Velcro strip fasteners secure
seat cushions in place.
F. Mid Bench Seat (600N)
The mid bench seat provides additional three
abreast seating in the passenger area. This
seat can be positioned in either the forward or
aft facing configuration. The seat belt/harness
system is completely attached to the seat
structure for quick removal and installation of
the entire bench seat assembly.
G. Upholstered Passenger Individual Seat
Individual seat installations are also available
for the passenger compartment. The seat
frames are secured to the bulkhead attach
fittings with ball-lock pins. When each seat is
folded, the flat surface of the seat back serves
as a barrier for cargo. Ref. P/N 369D290037 in
the optional equipment list for a further
description of individual passenger seat
installations (Ref. Table 202, Sec. 01-00).
H. Passenger Mesh Seating
Two passenger seats are installed in the aft
compartment of the helicopter. The seats are of
welded tubular aluminum structure with
nylon mesh covers. The seats may be folded for
clear cargo space and, if desired, are easily
removed by means of quick disconnect
attachments.

I. Seat Belts and Shoulder Harnesses


(369D/E/FF 500N)
In the standard installation, Sam Browne type
seat belts with shoulder harness straps are
installed at each seat position. Seat belts and
shoulder straps are fabricated from nylon
webbing with sewn-in buckles and attach
fittings. Lengths of seat belts and shoulder
straps are not adjustable. Inertia reels are
provided to take up slack and allow free
movement of the seat occupant.
Comfort clips are available for helicopters
equipped with Sam Browne type seat belt
assemblies. The comfort clip is designed to
maintain proper strap tension and relieve
excessive pressure of the inertia reel shoulder
harness on the crew or passengers during
flight.
After each seat belt and shoulder harness
assembly is fastened and adjusted for individu
al comfort and safety, the comfort clip is moved
from its original position next to the buckle
and relocated by sliding up on the harness
strap as close as possible to the inertia reel.
The clip prevents any further retraction of the
strap into the inertia reel, thus keeping a
constant yet comfortable tension of the
harness strap against the user. After each
flight, the comfort clip is to be returned to its
original location.
J. Seat Belts and Shoulder Harness (600N)
The crew seats in the helicopter utilize a
four-point restraint harness that combines the
lap seat belts with double shoulder straps for
greater occupant security and comfort. Both
mid and aft passenger seats are equipped with
a three-point restraint system. The lap seat
belt and shoulder strap are joined at the end
into a single unit for ease of attachment and
convenience. In one motion, the lap and
shoulder belts together can be attached to the
seat buckle. All seat belt/harness systems are
equipped with an automatic locking inertia
reel mechanism.

K. Interior Trim
Interior trim used in the crew compartment
and the passenger compartment is of thermo
plastic material contoured to cover interior
structure. Trim panels and covers provide
interior finish, compartment insulation and
mounting surfaces for convenience items, and
certain optional equipment. Trim panels and
covers are attached with Velcro fasteners and
with upholstery screws with rivnuts or isolator
nut mounts on the fuselage structure.
L. Floor Trim and Covering
Interior floor trim and covering consists of
fire-resistant carpeting and two foot fairing
trim assemblies. The lower part of Sta. 78.50
bulkhead and access doors are also covered
with fire-resistant carpeting.
M. Miscellaneous Furnishings
Miscellaneous furnishings include a stowage
compartment, heat duct, VNE card holder, foot
rest assembly, helicopter checklist, operational
record holder, ashtrays, and LH/RH passenger
step assemblies. The stowage compartment is
under the right floor access door (Ref. Sec.
52-50). The compartment has a uniformly-dis
tributed load capacity of 50 pounds maximum
when optional avionics equipment is not
installed in the crew area underfloor compart
ment. The heat duct provides interior trim for
the canopy frame and mounting surface for the
magnetic compass (Ref. Sec. 95-20). The VNE
card holder is located on the left side of the
instrument panel. The helicopter checklist is
stored with the magnetic compass card in the
map case. The operational record holder is
attached to the outboard side of the right
instrument panel fairing. Ashtrays and
cigarette lighters are provided in the lower
portion of the instrument panel and on the
back side of the station 78.50 canted bulkhead.
The removable passenger steps are attached to
the helicopter side jacking points.

SEAT BELTS/INERTIA REEL


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Seat Belts/Inertia Reel Description and
Operation (369D/E/FF 500N)
Inertia reel-type seat belt/harness equipment
consists of a shoulder harness, an inertia reel,
and a two-piece adjustable seat belt for both
the pilot and copilot.
The shoulder harnesses and seat belts are of
nylon web material with sewn-in length
adjusters and end adapters for attachment of
the harnesses to the seat belts. Inertia reels,
furnished as part of the harnesses, are
mounted on the Sta. 78.50 canted frame. The
reels permit the pilot and copilot freedom for
slow, deliberate shoulder movement, but lock
with any sudden forward movement. Full
extension or retraction of the straps on the
spring-loaded reels is approximately 25 inches
(63.5 cm).
Some installations have a handle: with the
handle up, the inertia reel operates normally;
with the handle down, the inertia reel is locked
up to restrain movement.
2. Seat Belts/Inertia Reel Description and
Operation (600N)
The crew seats utilize a four-point restraint
harness. This harness combines the lap seat
belts with double shoulder straps attached to
an inertia reel mechanism. Both mid and aft
passenger seats are equipped with a threepoint restraint system. The lap seat belt and

shoulder strap are joined at the end into a


single unit for ease of attachment and conve
nience. In one motion, the lap and shoulder
belts together can be attached to the seat
buckle.
3. Crew Seat Belt/Harness Cleaning
The harness and seat belt may be cleaned
using a soft-bristle brush and a mild solution
of warm water and laundry detergent.
4. Seat Belt/Inertia Reel Replacement
(369D/E/FF 500N)
(Ref. Figure 201, Figure 202 and Figure 203)
(1). For access to seat belt attach fittings,
remove crew compartment seats.
(2). Remove inertia reel, with harness, from
canted bulkhead lateral beam by
removing four bolts.
(3). Install replacement harness by securing
inertia reel, with harness, to canted
bulkhead lateral beam.
(4). Install replacement seat belts and
shoulder straps as shown. Place snap
end fittings up or down to eliminate any
twist in seat belt.
(5). Tongue portion of center passenger lap
belt must be installed on right side and
buckle portion on left side as shown.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Interior Trim
Trim panels, covers, and applicable attaching
devices are found in the following locations:
(1). Models 369D/E/FF - 500N crew
compartment (Ref. Figure 201).
(2). Models 369D/E/FF - 500N passenger
compartment (Ref. Figure 202).

compartments - R/H command helicop
ters with center console (Ref.
Figure 203).
(4). Floor trim covering and applicable
methods of attachment (Ref.
Figure 204).
A. Cyclic Stick Control Cover
(Ref. Figure 201) A cyclic stick control cover
protects the cyclic control linkage from objects
that might jam or foul control linkage. The
cover extends between the pilot's and copilot's
cyclic sticks at the seat bulkhead and covers
the cyclic control linkage. Cyclic stick openings
in the cover are protected by boot assemblies
(dust covers) secured to the cover with Velcro
hook and pile fasteners. The cyclic sticks pass
through elastic ringed openings in the dust
covers.
B. Copilots Inboard Collective Pitch Stick
Cover
The inboard collective pitch stick cover on L/H
command helicopters provides access to the
underseat flight controls linkage and forms a
protective guard for the collective friction
mechanism on the inboard collective pitch
stick. A sliding protective cover at the collec
tive pitch stick slotted opening guards against
foreign object entry.

Cargo Hook

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CSP-HMI-2

CARGO HOOK
FAULT ISOLATION
1. Cargo Hook Description
The cargo hook provides a means of transport
ing external cargo. The cargo hook installation
consists of a cargo hook assembly, electrical
hook release equipment and backup emergen
cy manual release equipment. The cargo hook
assembly is externally attached to the center
beam of the helicopter at Station 99.325. The
cargo hook operational rating (external load
limit) is 2000 pounds.
The cargo hook and swivel assembly are
mounted on the helicopter center beam by four
bolts at Station 99.325. The swivel assembly
allows the cargo hook to swing in any direction
through a 30-degree arc.
2. Cargo Hook Operation
The cargo hook is normally operated electrical
ly by pressing the CARGO HOOK switch on
the pilot's cyclic stick grip (Ref. Figure 403).
Actuation of the CARGO HOOK switch
energizes a solenoid in the cargo hook. The
maximum electrical current required to
operate the cargo hook solenoid is 14 amperes
at 28 Vdc. however, the solenoid is designed to
operate with voltage as low as 23 Vdc. Actua
tion of the cargo hook solenoid releases the
hook (load beam).
In the event of an electrical malfunction, the
hook can be released (opened) by pulling a
manual release cable lever attached to the
pilot's cyclic stick (Ref. Figure 401). The
manual release cable releases (opens) the
cargo hook in the same manner as the electri
cally operated solenoid. The hook can be
released for testing or by cargo personnel by
turning (clockwise) a cargo hook release knob

located on the left side of the hook body.


Regardless of the method used to release the
hook, the hook will return to the closed
(retracted) position.
3. Cargo Hook Fault Isolation
(Ref. Table 101) Cargo hook system malfunc
tions might be caused by any one of several
general conditions which are easily corrected.
Before starting specific troubleshooting
procedures, make the following checks and
take indicated action for troubleshooting
procedures.
(1). Refer to applicable wiring diagram and
check for loose or damaged wires and/or
terminals and connectors; reconnect or
replace as required.
(2). Check for damaged interconnect wires
and/or equipment (Ref. Chap. 96).
(3). Check for loose or defective terminal
board connections; repair or replace as
required.
(4). Check for loose ground wires.
(5). Make certain circuit breaker is pushed
to full in (closed) position.
(6). Check system power source.
4. Wiring Diagrams
(Ref. Figure 101) Wiring diagrams of the
various cargo hook electrical system circuits
have been illustrated. Wire charts are provided
in Table 102 and Table 103. For helicopter
electrical system interface information refer to
DC Electrical Load Distribution (Ref. Chap.
96).

Hoist
Passenger/Cargo

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CSP-HMI-2

HOIST PASSENGER/CARGO
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Hoist Passenger/Cargo
(Ref. Figure 201)
(1). The hoist configuration is installed on
the right side of L/H command helicop
ters. The configuration for R/H com
mand is identical except that the hoist
is installed on the opposite (left) side of
the helicopter. The passenger/cargo
hoist assembly consists of an electrical
ly-operated winch mounted on a
support tube, a hoist operator's safety
harness, a passenger door (hold open)
retainer assembly, a passenger door sill
antichafing bar assembly, a control
pendant, and associated electrical
equipment. The hoist provides a means
for lifting and lowering personnel or
objects weighing up to 300 pounds (136
kg). The hoist system employs light
weight, readily-attachable and -de
tachable exterior-mounted equipment
without using passenger or cargo space
in the helicopter. For safety purposes, a
guillotine-type cable cutting device is
incorporated in the hoist winch assem
bly. The hoist function is identical when
operated from either side of the helicop
ter.

NOTE: When the hoist is installed on L/H com


mand helicopters equipped with emergency
floats, the floats must be in a stowed condi
tion during hoisting operations. Emergency
floats must be removed from R/H command
before conducting hoisting operations.
(2). (Ref. Figure 202) The weatherproof
winch consists of a 28 Vdc motor that
drives a cable drum to which a 110 foot
(33.5 M) stainless steel cable with a
swivel hook is attached. The winch is
equipped with an automatic brake
system; up (full-in) and down (full out)
limit stop switches; and an explosive,
electrically-activated guillotine-type
cable cutter for cutting the cable in an
emergency. The hoist assembly is

mounted on a support tube attached


with quick-release pins to three fittings
located on the exterior of the fuselage
on either side and above the passenger/
cargo door. The support tube positions
the winch to allow raising and lowering
the cable between the side of the
fuselage and landing gear skid. Two
modified mounting brackets are used to
accommodate installation of the winch
on the support tube. The winch incorpo
rates a disc-type brake, housed on the
end of the hoist drum, which consists of
spring-loaded friction plates and an
actuating solenoid. The solenoid is
energized to release the brake at the
same time the motor is energized. Once
the control pendant switch is released
to the off position, the brake solenoid is
deenergized and the brake sets,
preventing any possibility of uncon
trolled cable payout. Cable up (full-in)
and down (full out) limit switches are
incorporated in the winch brake
system. When either limit switch is in
the closed position, the brake solenoid
is energized, releasing the brake discs
and allowing the winch drum to rotate.
Conversely, when either limit switch is
in the open position the brake solenoid
is deenergized and the winch brake
automatically sets and stops the winch.
(3). (Ref. Figure 203) The passenger/cargo
door retainer assembly consists of a
tubular housing attached with four
clamps securing the housing horizontal
ly across the canted bulkhead in the
passenger/cargo compartment. With the
passenger/cargo door in full open
position, a smaller tube stowed inside
the tubular housing extends in a
telescoping effect and engages a bracket
located on the outboard frame of the
door, thus retaining the door in an open
position. The telescoping tube can be
used in either end of the tubular
housing to hold the left or right passen
ger/cargo door open as required.

(4). (Ref. Figure 201) An antichafing bar,
installed just below the passenger/cargo
door sill, prevents the hoist cable from
cutting the door frame during hoisting
operations. A hoist operator's safety
harness. provided with the hoist, is
connected to the seat belt anchor fitting
on the side of the passenger/cargo
compartment opposite the side where
the hoist is installed.
(5). The hoist system electrical equipment
consists of a hand held electrical
pendant control for use in the passen
ger/cargo or crew compartments to
operate the winch, an emergency cable
cutter switch on the pilot's cyclic stick,
circuit breaker equipment, and asso
ciated electrical wiring. The pendant
control contains a three position switch,
spring loaded to the off position, for
raising and lowering the swivel hook,
and a guarded switch for cutting the
cable at the winch in an emergency. The
pilot's cyclic stick cable cutter switch
allows the pilot to cut the hoist cable
independent of the pendant control. The
circuit breakers are mounted on the
lower switch and circuit breaker panel
in L/H command, and on the circuit
breaker panel located aft of the pilot's
collective stick on R/H command. The
cable cutter circuits are independently
protected by a separate lower-amper
age circuit breaker located adjacent to
the hoist power circuit breaker. Electri
cal wiring, plugs, receptacles, and
terminals interconnect the various
electrical components.
(6). Differences in hoist installations and
electrical circuitry for L/H and R/H
command is described in subsequent
text and illustrations. Refer to man
ufacturer's publications (Ref. Table 201,
Sec. 01-00-00, BL-16600 Series 300 Lb
Capacity Hoist Operating lnstructions Hoist Winch Assembly, Breeze Corpora
tion, Inc)) for additional hoist, hook,
cable, and parts information.

CSP-HMI-2

2. Preparation for Hoisting Operations


To avoid inadvertent firing of
cable cutter, ensure cable cutter
electrical circuits are not energized.

CAUTION

(1). Connect external electrical power to


helicopter.
(2). Place BATTERY switch in EXT posi
tion.
(3). Open passenger/cargo door; extend and
secure door (hold-open) retainer tube.
(4). Using hoist system control pendant,
exercise winch by paying out 3 or 4 feet
of cable under approximately 15 pounds
(6.8 kg) tension, pulling cable straight
down to avoid rubbing cable on cable
bellmouth. Reverse control and reel
cable in. Check that cable winds on
winch drum evenly and that winch
operation is smooth and consistent.
Make certain winch stops automatically
when top of swivel hook pushes against
winch bumper pad.
(5). If installed, remove cable cutter jumper
wire (Ref. Figure 202).
Cable cutter jumper wire

WARNING must be removed to allow

cable cutter electrical circuit to be


completed by switch control, providing
instantaneous in-flight cable cutting
capability should such emergency ac
tion be required.
(6). If winch has not been used for an
extended period of time, or if cable has
been replaced, perform an operational
check (Ref. Hoist System Operational
Check).
(7). Check that winch support tube attach
safety pins are secure and fully seated.
(8). Check that winch electrical connector
plug is secure on receptacle on side of
fuselage.
(9). Connect hoist system operator's safety
harness to seat belt fitting on opposite
side of passenger/cargo compartment
from where winch is installed.

The following procedure is used to verify the


capability of the hoist system to function
correctly. The procedure should be performed
any time a malfunction is suspected, and prior
to normal use after repair.
Remove protective electri
jumper wire (Ref.
Figure 202) from cable cutter whenev
er winch is installed on helicopter.
Jumper wire will prevent operation of
cable cutter in an in-flight emergency.

WARNING cal

(1). Open applicable passenger/cargo door;


extend door retainer tube to hold door
in full open position.
Avoid inadvertent operation of
cable cutter. Make certain cable
cutter switches are not actuated when hoist
system circuits are energized.

CAUTION

(2). Energize helicopter electrical system;


check that both HOIST PWR (power)
and CBL CTR (cable cutter) circuit
breakers are in closed position (Ref.
Figure 201).
(3). Using hoist system control pendant,
exercise hoist winch by paying out 3 to
4 feet (1.2 M) of cable under approxi
mately 15 pounds (6.8 kg) tension; pull
cable straight down to avoid cable
rubbing on cable bellmouth. Reverse
control and reel cable in. Check that
cable winds on winch drum evenly and
that winch operation is smooth and
consistent. Check that winch stops
automatically when top of swivel hook

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
rubber bumper pushes against winch
bumper pad.
(4). Test hoist lifting capability with 300
pound weight. Check that hoist oper
ates smoothly throughout hoisting and
lowering operations.

NOTE: Cable retraction rate should be approxi


mately 55-60 feet (16.8-18.3 M) per minute.
The full usable cable length should unwind
in approximately 95 seconds and rewind in
approximately 103 seconds.
(a). With helicopter hovering approxi
mately 100 feet (45.4 M) above test
weight, lower hoist hook between
fuselage and landing gear skid.
Continue lowering hook until hook
can be connected to test weight.
(b). Gradually maneuver helicopter to
remove cable slack and to center
hoist over test weight.
(c). Slowly elevate helicopter to raise test
weight approximately 20 feet (6.1 M)
from ground.
(d). Using pendant control, payout full
usable length of cable. Check that
hoist down limit switch stops winch
with three turns of cable on winch
drum. If required, adjust position at
which down limit switch activates.

CSP-HMI-2

(6). Stow door retainer tube; close passen


ger/cargo door.
8. Hoist Equipment Inspection
General inspection procedure for the hoist
system is as follows:
(1). Inspect components for security of
attachment, damage, deformation,
cracks, and excessive wear.

WARNING
D Human life might depend on cable
condition. Inspect full length of cable
carefully and thoroughly.
D Use heavy leather gloves to protect
hands from injury due to broken
cable strands.
Keep cable clean. Provide a
clean area to coil cable during
inspection. Dirt and oil grime will create an
abrasive wear on cable and winch compo
nents.

CAUTION

(2). Inspect cable for fraying, corrosion,


broken strands, and security of attach
ment to winch drum and cable ball
swivel hook attachment. General
criteria for cable replacement are as
follows:

(e). Reverse pendant control. Lift test


weight to within approximately 10
feet (3.0 M) of helicopter skid.

(a). Any single broken strand (cluster of 7


individual wires) requires cable
replacement.

(f). Lower helicopter and remove hoist


hook from test weight; raise hoist
hook and check that hoist winch
automatically stops when top of
swivel hook rubber bumper pushes
up against hoist bumper pad.

(b). Both ends of individual broken wires


should be tucked into cable to
prevent fouling when cable travels
through cable guides and nonfouling
mechanisms. Breaks of individual
wires are allowable, unless the
number is excessive as defined in
next criterion.

NOTE: Up limit switch should actuate before


excessive cable pressure is applied to verti
cally compress bumper pad (Ref.
Figure 202).
(g). Land helicopter; deenergize electrical
system.
(5). Stow pendant control.

(c). Generally, one individual broken wire


(two ends) for each foot of cable is
permissible, up to a total of 20
individual wire breaks for each 100
foot (30.5 M) length of cable. A
greater number of breaks requires
cable replacement.

FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Fire Detector System Description and
Operation
The fire detection system is located in the aft
section of the fuselage encircling the engine
bay area. The fire detector cable is looped
around the inboard structure of the engine
compartment. The fire detection system is held
in place by stainless steel positive locking
cable clips and clamps attached to the air
frame.
The detector consists of a pressure switch
connected to a small diameter tube. Inside the
tube is helium gas and a core material that
contains trapped hydrogen. The detector can
provide an output signal when heat is applied
to it in two ways. If the detector tube average
temperature exceeds a preset amount, the
helium gas pressure increase will trigger the
output signal. If there is a local hot spot on the
detector tube, the core will outgas hydrogen.
The release of hydrogen gas will cause a
pressure increase inside the tube, triggering
the output signal. Both of these processes are
reversible. When the tube cools, the output
signal ceases, the hydrogen is readsorbed into
the core, and the system is reset. The detector
core has a spiral groove cut into its outside
diameter, so that crushing, flattening, or
kinking of the detector tube will not prevent
gas pressure from reaching the pressure
switch. Loss of tube integrity through cracking
or breakage will make the detector inopera
tive, but the detector incorporates a built in
test for tube integrity.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Fire Extinguisher Description

(2). Remove fire extinguisher from mount


ing bracket.

(Ref. Figure 201) The early model helicopters


use the pressurized, dry chemical type of fire
extinguisher. The current models use a
liquified gas which discharges as a vapor at
high nozzle velocity (Halon 1211). The L/H and
R/H command fire extinguishers mount on the
forward door frame between the crew door and
the canopy. The fire extinguisher quickly
detaches from the mounting bracket by
unfastening the quick-release clasps. Note the
current fire extinguishers are equipped with
two straps for extra high vibration applica
tions.

(3). Remove safety pin from handle. Point


nozzle toward base of flame and
squeeze the handle.

2. Fire Extinguisher Operation


(1). Grasp fire extinguisher handle with one
hand. Use the thumb and forefinger of
the other hand to unfasten the quickrelease clasp.

3. Fire Extinguisher Servicing/Inspection


The fire extinguishers are equipped with a
pressure gage that indicates normal, charge,
and overcharge pressures.
(1). Dry chemical type - white area indi
cates normal operating range of 150 psi
(1034 kPa). Red area indicates
CHARGE or OVERCHARGE.
(2). Halon type - green area indicates
normal operating range of 125 psi (862
kPa). Red area indicates CHARGE or
OVERCHARGE.
Service the fire extinguishers in accordance
with manufacturer's instructions.

FUEL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Engine Fuel System
(1). Engine fuel system operational infor
mation is provided in the applicable
Allison Engine Operation and Mainte
nance Manuals (Ref. Sec. 01-00-00).
2. Fuel Cells
(1). The MDHS helicopter standard fuel
tank consists of two interconnected
non-self-sealing bladder cells having a
total capacity of 64 U.S. gallons (242.3
L), with 62 gallons (234.7 L) usable.
Alternate self-sealing cells may be
installed having a capacity of 62 U.S.
gallons (234.7 L), with 60.7 gallons
(229.7 L) usable. Bladder and self
sealing fuel cells are supplied by
Engineered Fabrics Corporation and
Uniroyal, Inc. (Ref. Sec. 01-00-00).
(2). Cells are located in separate fiberglass
lined bays below the passenger com
partment floor. Both cells are supported
by a system of airframe brackets,
hangers, grommets and nylon suspen
sion cords.
(3). Each fuel cell is equipped with an
access cover fitting, cover, forward and
aft vent crossover fittings, fuel intercon
nect fittings, internal baffles and baffle
support rods.
(4). The right fuel cell contains the male
portion of the cell interconnect fitting,
filler neck, cap and attached filler
shield.
(5). The left fuel cell contains the female
half of the cell interconnect fitting,
sump plate, sump/tank drain valve,
engine start fuel pump (C20 series
engine installation) or fuel inlet fitting
(C30 engine installation). The left cell
cover supports the fuel quantity
transmitter, manually actuated fuel
shutoff valve, fuel supply tubes, hoses
and attaching hardware.

(6). Fuel tank servicing is through the tank


filler neck on the right side of the
fuselage.
3. Fuel Quantity System
(1). The fuel quantity system is powered by
24 - 28 Vdc current and consists of a
float operated quantity transmitter
mounted on the left fuel cell cover and a
quantity indicator gauge and FUEL
LEVEL LOW caution light on the
instrument console. Early series
helicopters incorporate the gauge as
part of a three-pack instrument cluster.
Current helicopters feature an individ
ual quantity gauge. The system is
protected by the INSTR CLUSTER 5
ampere circuit breaker. Power is
supplied to the system from the DC bus
through the INSTR CLUSTER circuit
breaker, CB101. With power on and
approximately 35 or 70 pounds of fuel
remaining, depending on customer
requirements, the fuel quantity trans
mitter float arm contacts a spring wire
that completes a circuit to ground
through a transistor located on a circuit
board inside the transmitter assembly.
The transistor switches on the FUEL
LEVEL LOW caution light. Refueling
raises the float, breaks the transistor
circuit and switches off the FUEL
LEVEL LOW caution lamp. The float
operates a rheostat that controls
electrical current through the quantity
indicator circuit. Fuel level changes
alter transmitter resistance values that
effect the fuel quantity indicator needle
position.
4. Vent System
(1). Tank cells are vented to atmosphere
through bottom and side fuselage ports
by a system of interconnected hoses and
tubes attached to the forward and aft
ends of each fuel cell. A fuel vent
emergency shutoff valve automatically
closes to prevent fuel loss through the
vent system when a 45 helicopter pitch
or roll angle limit is exceeded.

5. Fuel Shutoff Valve Control


(1). A red fuel shutoff control knob labeled
FUEL, PULL TO CLOSE is located on
the instrument panel face. The flexible
cable and housing is routed aft under
the floor to the shutoff valve lever on
the left fuel cell access cover.
6. Fuel Shutoff Valve
(1). The cable actuated, mechanically
detented fuel shutoff valve is located on
the left fuel cell access cover. Valve
lever arm travel from full open to closed
is 90.
7. Start Pump

NOTE: Helicopters with C30 engines are not


equipped with a start pump. Fuel is drawn
from the tank by the engine-driven fuel
pump.
(1). Helicopters with C20 series engines are
equipped with a submerged, single
stage centrifugal, 24 - 28 Vdc, 4.5
ampere, negative ground, electric start
pump bolted to the sump plate in the
left fuel cell. Pump delivery volume at
sea level is 300 lbs/hr (136 kg/hr),
nominal at 10 psi (68.95 kPa), mini
mum. Delivery at 20,000 feet (6100 M)
is 120 lbs/hr (54.48 kg/hr), nominal at
11 psi (75.84 kPa), minimum. The start
pump is controlled by a 7.5 ampere
circuit breaker/switch on the instru
ment panel.
(2). 369F - Maintenance Fuel Pump
Helicopters with C30 engines are not
equipped with a start pump. An
optional maintenance fuel pump with
the same specifications as the C20
series engine submerged start pump
can be installed. The maintenance fuel
pump is used to bleed or purge fuel
lines after maintenance and is not used
during engine operation. The mainte
nance fuel pump is controlled by a 7.5
ampere circuit breaker/switch on the
instrument panel.
8. Fuel Filter Caution Light Pressure Switch
(1). A differential pressure switch is
installed across the engine fuel pump

(before filter) ports just upstream of the
engine fuel pump. The switch is
sensitive to a preset differential
pressure. An increase in BF pressure
with a concurrent decrease in AF
pressure due to partial or complete
filter blockage may intermittently or
completely close the switch depending
on the nature of the filtered material.
Switch contacts complete an electrical
circuit through a case ground that
switches on the FUEL FILTER
caution lamp, a part of the instrument
console caution and warning light
array.
9. Drain System and Drain Valves
(1). One spring loaded plunger drain valve
is installed in the fuel tank sump plate.
Air in the fuel system will

WARNING cause a power reduction or


flameout. Do a fuel system vacuum leak
check and system air bleed after open
ing fuel system to atmosphere and
prior to releasing helicopter for flight.

NOTE: The tank sump drain valve is installed


in the tank sump mount plate on the bottom
of the left fuel cell. The valve is accessed
from under the helicopter.
(2). An additional drain valve and asso
ciated tubing is installed on helicopters
equipped with an optional anti-ice
(airframe) fuel filter.
10. Fuel Supply Lines
(1). The engine fuel supply lines consist of:
(a). A hose between the start pump (C20
engines) or fuel pickup fitting (C30
engines) to the fuel shutoff valve.
(b). A tube between the fuel shutoff valve

FUEL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Fuel Cell Cleaning General
(1). Fuel cells are susceptible to fungus
growth after contact with contaminated
fuel. Fungus trapped in the fuel filters
indicates fuel tank contamination.
Remove, inspect, clean or replace filter
elements per applicable Allison Engine
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Where installed, service anti-ice
(airframe) filter (Ref. Sec. 28-25-00).
(2). Periodic incorporation of an FAA
approved anti-fungal fuel additive will
kill and prevent new fungus growth.
2. Uniroyal Fuel Cell Cleaning
Steam cleaning may cause ir
reparable cell damage. Do not
use MEK, soap or commercial cleaning de
tergents to clean rubberized fabric fuel cells.
Some cleaning agents leave a residue that
will react with fuel to form materials that
can block fuel filters.

CAUTION

(1). Clean Uniroyal fuel cell interior/exter


ior surfaces with lint free cloth moist
ened with water, alcohol or kerosene.
No other cleaning materials should be
used.
3. Engineered Fabrics Corp. Fuel Cell
Cleaning
Do not steam clean Engineered
Fabrics Corp. fuel cells. Steam
cleaning may cause irreparable damage.

CAUTION

(1). Clean cell exterior and interior surfaces


with warm soapy water and clean lint
free cloth. Rinse away all soap residue
and wipe dry.

4. Fuel Cell Handling, Storage and Shipping


Do not use cell fittings as hand
holds. Do not store fuel cells un
crated or exposed to direct sunlight, ozone,
dirt, moisture, solvents, chemicals, or ex
tremes of heat and humidity.

CAUTION

(1). Store and ship cells in a suitable


protective container.
(a). Apply protective tape over all cell
machined fittings.
(b). Use packing material to keep the cell
from shifting in transit.
(c). Suspended self-sealing cells to
maintain cell shape.
5. Fuel Cell Preservation and Storage
(Uniroyal Cells)

CAUTION
D Uniroyal cells removed from service must
not be left dry for more than 10 days with
out the application of oil as a plasticizing
agent. The cell liner will loose pliability if
left dry for extended periods and subse
quent flexing may cause the material to
crack.
D Do not work on cell in ambient tempera
tures below 50F (10C).
(1). Before removing cell from airframe:
(a). Spray or wipe exposed internal and
external cell surfaces with SAE 10
petroleum based oil.
(b). Allow oil to soak into cell for 24 hours
to soften cell material prior to
handling or folding.
(c). Mop up puddled oil.
6. Fuel Cell Preservation and Storage
(Engineered Fabrics Corp. Cells)

NOTE: Engineered Fabrics Corp. VITHANE/R


fuel cells do not require oiling for preserva
tion.

Fuel cells are fragile. Do not at
CAUTION tempt to fold/unfold or handle
cells in temperatures below 50F (10C).
Cell material is easily cut, torn or punc
tured. Never use sharp edged or pointed
tools to probe damage or to puncture blis
ters. Puncturing the 0.002 inch (0.051 mm)
thick nylon fuel barrier of a non-self-seal
ing cell will cause the cell to leak. Punctur
ing the nylon barrier of a self-sealing cell
will allow fuel to activate the rubber sealing
agent that will swell over time and possibly
rupture the cell. In any case, cells with acti
vated seal compound are not repairable.
Barrier membrane can be invisibly torn by
rough handling or impact. Handle cells with
care and no more than necessary. Protect
metal fittings from damage.

NOTE: Accomplish fuel cell repair work in tem


peratures ranging from 60 - 80F (16 27C) and in less than 50% humidity.

(1). Fabric exposed by a scuff mark may be


buffed, cleaned, coated with cement and
allowed to air-dry for 8 hours.

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(3). Both sides of a cell must be patched to
repair any one hole or tear.
(4). Thoroughly clean cell internal and
external repair areas with cheese cloth
(CM820) dampened with solvent
(CM211) or MEK (CM219).
(5). Collapse cell and expose external
damage area on a clean, flat working
surface.
(6). Use a greaseless silver pencil to outline
patch installation area two inches
beyond damage in all directions.
(7). Hand-buff an area 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
larger than space occupied by patch
with fine emery cloth (CM804) to
provide a roughened substrate for
cement application. Do not cut through
cell fabric.
(8). Select a patch (CM604) of #5218
material for non-self-sealing cell
exterior, or Uniroyal #5241/5241
sandwich material for self-sealing cells.
Trim patch to extend two inches (5.08
cm) beyond edges and ends of damage
in all directions. Tilt scissors to bevel
patch edges away from cell surface.
Radius all patch corners.
(9). Hand-buff patch gummed surface with
fine emery cloth. Ensure entire patch
joint surface has been abraded.
(10). Repeat buffing procedures on cell
interior surface. Buff internal patch
(CM603) trimmed from Uniroyal
#5200/5187/5194 sandwich material.
Fuel cell and patch contact sur
faces must be perfectly clean
and dry prior to adhesive and patch applica
tion. Rubber and fabric particles, moisture,
and fuel or oil from fingers will prevent
proper patch/cell adhesive cure and may
subsequently provide a leak path. Wear
clean, lint free gloves to handle patch and
cell after preparing surfaces for cement and
patch application.

CAUTION

(11). Install exterior patch first. Wipe cell


exterior and patch faying surfaces with
clean cheesecloth dampened with
Uniroyal #3339 solvent or MEK.

CSP-HMI-2

(12). Continue to wipe cell and patch,


changing cheesecloth and applying
clean solvent as required, until no stain
or particles appear on cheesecloth pad
after the last wipe.
Use cement sparingly. Two,
thin, even coats provide better
adhesion than one thick coat.

CAUTION

(13). Position a sheet of polyethylene plastic


beneath cell damage to keep cement off
opposite cell wall.

NOTE: Determine cement adhesive tack with a


test specimen. Apply cement to a piece of
buffed, scrap patch material each time ce
ment is spread on cell and repair patch.
(14). Coat patch, test specimen, and fuel cell,
including edges of damage, with EC678
cement (CM607) or Uniroyal #3230
cement (CM608). Allow cement to dry
15 minutes before application of a
second coat. Allow second coat to dry 15
minutes.
(15). Press a bare knuckle into cement on
test specimen. Cement that tears away
from skin leaving a rough, finely
peaked imprint without transferring to
knuckle, is ready for patch installation.
(16). Wipe cement with cheesecloth moist
ened with solvent to reactivate adhesive
when required.

NOTE: A brayer or similar tool is required to


systematically roll patch into contact with
cell. Apply patch as follows:
(17). Center patch on repair area. Stick one
edge down and double check patch
alignment. If required, release adhesive
by flooding joint with solvent. Check
adhesive tack again before proceeding
with patch installation.

NOTE: The object of the next step is to get the


patch down without trapping any air under
it.
(18). Hold free edge of patch off cell. Follow
one line and roll tool back and forth
over patch. Advance toward loose end,
1/4 inch (6.35 mm) per pass until patch
is down and free of trapped air.

twice the size of the patch. Locate
plastic sheet and patch over cell repair
area; then, slip sheet from under patch
as patch is rolled down, 1/4 inch (6.35
mm) at a time.
(20). Fabricate two smooth, flat, rigid, metal
plates with no sharp edges or corners.
Plates must be larger than cemented
repair area.
Excessive clamp pressure may
deform cell and, or squeeze ce
ment out of joint.

CAUTION

(21). Cover both sides of repair with sheet


polyethylene plastic or oiled paper large
enough to cover entire cemented area.

NOTE: Do not include opposite cell wall in


clamp up. Work through cell access opening
and arrange cell as necessary to clamp only
the wall with the patch installation.
(22). Sandwich repair area and barrier
material between pressure plates.
Install at least two C-clamps over
pressure plates. Equalize clamp
pressure.
(23). Do not disturb cell. Maintain pressure
for six hours, minimum, after which cell
is ready for internal patch installation.

E. Loose Edge and Lap Seam Repairs

CAUTION

Loose lap seams should be re


paired as soon as possible after

discovery.

NOTE: Loose lap seam edges not more than two


inches long on cell interior or exterior sur
faces may be repaired. Contact Uniroyal,
Inc. for repair data addressing lap seam sep
arations exceeding two inch (5.08 cm) length
limit. Seam separation repairs require buff
ing, cementing and a patch installation.
(1). Lift seam separation and buff flap and
cell faying surfaces with emery cloth
(CM804).
(2). Buff an area on exterior surface
extending 2 inch (5.08 cm) in all
directions from seam separation.

CAUTION
D Fuel cell and patch contact surfaces must
be perfectly clean and dry prior to adhe
sive and patch application. Rubber and
fabric particles, moisture, and fuel or oil
from fingers will prevent proper patch/
cell adhesive seal and may subsequently
provide a leak path. Wear clean, lint free
gloves to handle patch and cell after pre
paring surfaces for cement and patch
application.
D Careless application of compressed air be
tween lap joints may separate seam fur
ther.
(3). Either air-vacuum or blow buffing dust
out of separation with dry, low pressure
compressed air.
(4). Wipe inside and outside of repair area
clean with cheesecloth (CM820)
moistened with solvent (CM211) or
MEK (CM219). Continue wiping with
fresh solvent dampened cheesecloth as
required until no stain or particle
appears on the swab after the last wipe.
Allow area to dry.
Use cement sparingly. Two,
thin, even coats provide better
adhesion than one thick coat.

CAUTION

NOTE: Determine cement adhesive tack with a


test specimen. Apply cement to a piece of
buffed, scrap patch material each time ce
ment is spread on cell and repair patch.

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(5). Apply two coats of EC678 cement
(CM607) or Uniroyal #3230 (CM608)
allowing 15 minutes between applica
tions. Allow second coat to dry 15
minutes.
(6). Roll separation together starting from
the bottom of the pocket toward the
open end, 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) per pass.
Ensure no air is trapped underneath.
(7). Cover repair with a sheet of polyethyl
ene plastic or oiled paper large enough
to cover entire cemented area.
(8). Fabricate two smooth, flat, rigid, metal
plates with no sharp edges or corners.
Plates must be larger than cemented
repair area.
Excessive clamp pressure may
deform cell and, or squeeze ce
ment out of joint.

CAUTION

(9). Cover both sides of repair with polyeth


ylene plastic or oiled paper sheets large
enough to cover entire cemented area.

NOTE: Do not include opposite cell wall in


clamp up. Work through cell access opening
and arrange cell as necessary to clamp only
the wall containing the seam repair.
(10). Sandwich cell wall repair area and
barrier material between pressure
plates. Install at least two C-clamps
over pressure plates. Equalize clamp
pressure.
(11). Do not disturb cell. Maintain pressure
for six hours, minimum, after which cell
is ready for patch installation.
(12). Remove clamps and plates.
(13). Use Uniroyal #5200/5187/5194 sand
wich patch material (CM603) on
non-self-sealing and self-sealing cell
interiors.

(15). Prepare cell wall and patch for installa


tion (Ref. Patch Installation). Install
patch.
F. Blister Repair
(1). Blisters can occur on cell interior and
exterior surfaces. blisters are caused by
a separation of the cell laminates and
may contain air or a combination of air
and fuel.

NOTE: Exterior blisters that contain fuel indi


cate that the barrier has been penetrated.
Contact Uniroyal for repair information be
fore proceeding. Blisters inside cell measur
ing under one inch (2.54 cm) diameter are
acceptable and need not be disturbed.
(2). Buff surface of blister and area extend
ing two inch (5.08 cm) in all directions
from its edge.
Avoid damaging nylon barrier
membrane. Do not probe, cut, or
puncture blisters with tool perpendicular to
cell wall.

CAUTION

(3). Slit blister open with an X cut to expose


all of the delaminated surface. Lift flaps
and mop interior with clean cheesecloth
(CM820) and solvent (CM211) or MEK
(CM219). Buff underlying cell surface
and blister flaps with emery cloth
(CM804). Air-vacuum or blow away all
traces of buffing dust.
(4). Wipe inside and outside of repair area
clean with cheesecloth moistened with
solvent or MEK. Continue wiping with

FUEL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Engine Fuel System
(1). Engine fuel system operational infor
mation is provided in the applicable
Allison Engine Operation and Mainte
nance Manuals (Ref. Sec. 01-00-00).
2. Fuel Cells
(1). The MDHS helicopter standard fuel cell
consists of two interconnected crash-re
sistant non-self-sealing bladder type
cells having a total capacity of 116.2
U.S. gallons (439.9 Liter), with 114.6
U.S. gallons (433.8 Liter) usable.
(2). Bladder crash-resistant non-self
sealing fuel cells are supplied by
Engineered Fabrics Corporation (Ref.
Sec. 01-00-00).
(3). Cells are located in separate fiberglass
lined bays below the passenger com
partment floor. Both cells are supported
by a system of airframe brackets,
hangers, grommets and nylon suspen
sion cords.
(4). Each fuel cell is equipped with two
access covers, forward fuel vent aft fuel
vent forward vent crossover fittings and
fuel interconnect fittings.
(5). Each fuel cell contains two sump plates
and two fuel drain valves
(6). Each fuel cell is divided by an internal
lateral baffle which reduces fuel
sloshing during changes in flight
attitudes. The baffles have openings
across their face to allow fuel to pass
through them. This reduces the load on
the baffles and provides even fuel
distribution within the cell.
(7). Fuel tank servicing is through the cell
filler neck on the right side of the
fuselage. The right side fuel cell
contains the gravity filler port, filler
check valve, neck, cap and attachment
hardware.

(8). A check valve attaches to the filler neck


fitting. The check valve located within
the fuel cell. opens when the fuel cap is
removed by pulling a lanyard for
refueling and defueling operations. The
valve closes when the fuel cap is
secured to the filler neck fitting pre
venting fuel leakage.
(9). The left-rear cell cover supports the
manually actuated fuel shutoff valve,
fuel supply hose, motive flow hose, fuel
quantity probe wire harness and
attaching hardware.
3. Fuel Distribution
(1). The fuel distribution system supplies
fuel to the engine. The engine driven
fuel pump sucks fuel from the fuel cell.
(2). Fuel is supplied from the fuel cell
through supply lines located under the
passenger/cargo compartment floor and
within the fuel cell.
(3). The ejector pump is driven by pressur
ized fuel (motive flow) returning from
the engine driven fuel pump.
(4). The ejector pump scavenges fuel from
the forward portion of fuel cell and
transfer fuel to the aft portion of the
cell, thus motive flow.
4. Fuel Vent System
(1). Fuel cells are vented to the atmosphere
through the bottom and side fuselage
ports by a system of interconnected
hoses and tubes attached to the forward
inboard and aft inboard ends of each
fuel cell.
(2). The fuel vent float/rollover valves are
located internally at each inboard
upper corner of the fuel cell. The vent
float/rollover valve allows the fuel cell
to vent to the atmosphere during
aircraft fueling/defueling.
(3). Each vent float/rollover valve is
designed so that when not submerged
in fuel and with airflow through the

28-00-60

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CSP-HMI-2

valve between zero and the rated flow,


the valve remain open within 25
conical angle from vertical.
(4). The valve automatically closes when
the fuel level is at or above the float
actuation level to prevent fuel loss
through the vent system. The valve will
also close with changes in aircraft
ground attitudes from 25 to 180 with
fuel present.
(5). Flame arrestors located in the outlet
vent tube or standpipe prevents any
potential flames from reaching the vent
float/rollover valves and fuel cell.
5. Fuel Quantity System
(1). The fuel quantity system is powered by
24 - 28 Vdc current and consists of an
electromechanical fuel quantity
indicator, a signal conditioner, two
capacitance type fuel quantity probes
mounted in the left fuel cell, a float
switch located on the aft fuel quantity
probes, a FUEL LEVEL LOW caution
light on the instrument console and
interconnecting wire harness.
(2). The system is protected by a 5 ampere
circuit breaker. Power is supplied to the
system from the DC bus, through a
circuit breaker.
(3). The float switch provides a electrical
signal to the FUEL LEVEL LOW
caution light panel located on the
instrument panel. Refueling breaks the
float switch circuit and switches off the
FUEL LEVEL LOW caution lamp. The
switch is fixed to the aft fuel quantity
probe and is not adjustable.

the instrument panel face. The flexible


cable and housing is routed aft under
the floor to the shutoff valve lever on
the left fuel cell access cover.
7. Fuel Shutoff Valve
(1). The cable actuated, mechanically
detented fuel shutoff valve is located on
the left fuel cell access cover. Valve
lever arm travel from full open to closed
is 90.
8. Fuel Filter Caution Light Pressure Switch
(1). A differential pressure switch is
installed across the engine fuel pump
filter pressure AF (after filter) and BF
(before filter) ports just upstream of the
engine fuel pump. The switch is
sensitive to a preset differential
pressure. An increase in BF pressure
with a concurrent decrease in AF
pressure due to partial or complete
filter blockage may intermittently or
completely close the switch depending
on the nature of the filtered material.
Switch contacts complete an electrical
circuit through a case ground that
switches on the FUEL FILTER
caution lamp, a part of the instrument
console caution and warning light
array.
9. Drain System and Drain Valves
(1). Two spring loaded plunger tank sump
drain valve are installed in each cell
sump mount plate on the bottom of the
left and right fuel cell. The valve is
accessed from under the helicopter.
10. Fuel Supply Lines
(1). The engine fuel supply lines consist of:

(4). Calibrating of the fuel system is


accomplished on the fuel quantity
indicator calibration switch. By holding
the switch in the empty or full calibra
tion positions a resistance is stored in
the gauge memory circuit.
6. Fuel Shutoff Valve Control
(1). A red fuel shutoff control knob labeled
FUEL, PULL TO CLOSE is located on

FUEL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Fuel Cell Cleaning General
(1). Fuel cells are susceptible to fungus
growth after contact with contaminated
fuel. Fungus trapped in the fuel filters
indicates fuel tank contamination.
Remove, inspect, clean or replace filter
elements per applicable Allison Engine
Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Where installed, service anti-ice
(airframe) filter (Ref. Sec. 28-25-00).
(2). Periodic incorporation of an FAA
approved anti-fungal fuel additive will
kill and prevent new fungus growth.
2. Engineered Fabrics Corp. Fuel Cell
Cleaning
Do not steam clean Engineered
CAUTION Fabrics Corp. fuel cells. Steam
cleaning may cause irreparable damage.
(1). Clean cell exterior and interior surfaces
with warm soapy water and clean lint
free cloth. Rinse away all soap residue
and wipe dry.
3. Fuel Cell Handling, Storage and Shipping
Do not use cell fittings as hand
CAUTION holds. Do not store fuel cells un
crated or exposed to direct sunlight, ozone,
dirt, moisture, solvents, chemicals, or ex
tremes of heat and humidity.
(1). Store and ship cells in a suitable
protective container.
(a). Apply protective tape over all cell
machined fittings.
(b). Use packing material to keep the cell
from shifting in transit.
(c). Suspended self-sealing cells to
maintain cell shape.
4. Fuel Cell Preservation and Storage
(Engineered Fabrics Corp. Cells)
(1). Thoroughly clean cell with warm soapy
water. Wipe completely dry.

(2). If a fuel cell that has previously


contained fuel is to be stored for longer

NOTE: MDHS cannot guarantee the currency,


completeness or technical accuracy of fuel
cell repair procedures provided herein.
Since cell repair materials, techniques, and
procedures may be changed or deleted by
the cell manufacturers without notice to
MDHS light helicopter publications; we
strongly recommend that:
(1). Only specially trained personnel are
allowed to inspect and repair the fuel
cells installed in 369/500/600 series
helicopters.
(2). Customers planning to do their own
fuel cell repairs must order any re
quired manuals from the applicable cell
manufacturer before beginning repair
tasks (Ref. Sec. 01-00-00).
(a). Cell inspections, maintenance and
repair must be per the cell manufac
turers advice and instructions.
(3). Bladder or self sealing fuel cells are
supplied to MDHS by Engineered
Fabrics Corporation.
Use only approved inspection
requirements, repair methods,
materials and supplies designed for Engine
ered Fabrics Corp.

CAUTION

(4). Fuel cells produced by Engineered


Fabrics Corp. are constructed of Nitrile
polyurethane plastic impregnated
fabric.
3. Scuff Mark Repair
Fabric exposed by a scuff mark may be buffed,
cleaned, coated with cement and allowed to
air-dry for 8 hours. No patch is required
unless fabric is torn. Install patches where
required (Ref. Patch Installation).

5. Loose Patch Repair


Replace loose patches with new patch installa
tions (Ref. Patch Installation). Where two
opposing patches have been installed over cell
wall damage, unless otherwise indicated by
inspection, replace only the loose patch.
6. Patch Installation
(1). Drain, remove and thoroughly dry cell
as soon as possible after determining
cell repair is required. Drying time may
be accelerated by keeping cell at 80F
(27C) and ventilating interior with dry,
low pressure air.
(2). Inspect fuel cell.
Do not repair tears or holes over
CAUTION two inches (5.08 cm) long using
cold patch repair. Do not attempt to repair
bonded fittings or corners. Contact Engine
ered Fabrics Corporation when corner or fit
ting damage is discovered or when cell wall
damage exceeds two inch length limit.
(3). Accomplish fuel cell repair work in
temperatures ranging from 60 - 80F
(16 - 27C) and in less than 50%
humidity.

NOTE: Damp air, especially in combination


with low temperatures, will cause water to
condense on cement applications. Water in
hibits patch adhesion.
Never expose a dry cell to high
temperatures and, or direct sun
light for long periods of time. If repairs will
not be started within ten days, prepare cell
for storage.

CAUTION

(4). Both sides of a cell must be patched to


repair any one hole or tear.
(5). Thoroughly clean cell internal and
external repair areas with cheese cloth
(CM820) dampened with solvent MEK
(CM219).
(a). Collapse cell and expose external
damage area on a clean, flat working
surface.
Page 802
Revision 19

28-00-60

(b). Use a greaseless silver pencil to


outline patch installation area two
inches beyond damage in all direc
tions.
(6). Hand-buff an area 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
larger than space occupied by patch
with fine emery cloth (CM804) to
provide a roughened substrate for
cement application. Do not cut through
cell fabric.
(7). Select a patch of #5218 material
(CM604) for cell exterior. Trim patch to
extend two inches beyond edges and
ends of damage in all directions. Tilt
scissors to bevel patch edges away from
cell surface. Radius all patch corners.
(8). Hand-buff patch gummed surface with
fine emery cloth. Ensure entire patch
joint surface has been abraded.
(9). Repeat buffing procedures on cell
interior surface. Buff internal patch
(CM603) trimmed from
#5200/5187/5194 sandwich material.
Fuel cell and patch contact sur
faces must be perfectly clean
and dry prior to adhesive and patch applica
tion. Rubber and fabric particles, moisture,
and fuel or oil from fingers will prevent
proper patch/cell adhesive cure and may
subsequently provide a leak path. Wear
clean, lint free gloves to handle patch and
cell after preparing surfaces for cement and
patch application.

CAUTION

(10). Install exterior patch first. Wipe cell


exterior and patch faying surfaces with
clean cheesecloth (CM820) dampened
with MEK (CM219).
(a). Continue to wipe cell and patch,
changing cheesecloth and applying
clean solvent as required, until no
stain or particles appear on cheese
cloth pad after the last wipe.
Use cement sparingly. Two,
thin, even coats provide better
adhesion than one thick coat.

CAUTION

(11). Position a sheet of polyethylene plastic


beneath cell damage to keep cement off
opposite cell wall.

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Determine cement adhesive tack with a


test specimen. Apply cement to a piece of
buffed, scrap patch material each time ce
ment is spread on cell and repair patch.
(12). Coat patch, test specimen, and fuel cell,
including edges of damage, with EC678
cement (CM607). Allow cement to dry
15 minutes before application of a
second coat. Allow second coat to dry 15
minutes.
(13). Press a bare knuckle into cement on
test specimen. Cement that tears away
from skin leaving a rough, finely
peaked imprint without transferring to
knuckle, is ready for patch installation.

NOTE: Wipe cement with cheesecloth moist


ened with solvent to reactivate adhesive
when required.
(14). A brayer or similar tool is required to
systematically roll patch into contact
with cell. Apply patch as follows:
(a). Center patch on repair area. Stick
one edge down and double check
patch alignment. If required, release
adhesive by flooding joint with
solvent. Check adhesive tack again
before proceeding with patch installa
tion.

NOTE: The object of the next step is to get the


patch down without trapping any air under
it.
(b). Hold free edge of patch off cell.
Follow one line and roll tool backand-forth over patch. Advance
toward loose end, 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
per pass until patch is down and free
of trapped air.
(c). An alternate technique is to lay
prepared patch on a perfectly clean
sheet of polyethylene plastic about
twice the size of the patch. Locate
plastic sheet and patch over cell
repair area; then, slip sheet from
under patch as patch is rolled down,
1/4 inch (6.35 mm) at a time.
(15). Fabricate two smooth, flat, rigid, metal
plates with no sharp edges or corners.

CSP-HMI-2

Plates must be larger than cemented


repair area.
Excessive clamp pressure may
deform cell and, or squeeze ce
ment out of joint.

CAUTION

(a). Cover both sides of repair with sheet


polyethylene plastic or oiled paper
large enough to cover entire cem
ented area.

NOTE: Do not include opposite cell wall in


clamp up. Work through cell access opening
and arrange cell as necessary to clamp only
the wall with the patch installation.
(b). Sandwich repair area and barrier
material between pressure plates.
Install at least two C-clamps over
pressure plates. Equalize clamp
pressure.
(16). Do not disturb cell. Maintain pressure
for six hours, minimum, after which cell
is ready for internal patch installation.
(17). Remove clamps and plates.
(18). Clean patch and cell internal repair
area with MEK saturated cheesecloth
swabs.
(a). Apply two coats of cement, allowing
15 minutes drying time between
coats. Allow 15 minutes for second
coat to set.
(b). Install and roll out patch.
(19). Position a barrier sheet under each
pressure plate. Clamp and cure instal
lation for a minimum of 24 hours at 60
- 80F (16 - 27C) before leak testing
and returning cell to service.
7. Loose Edge and Lap Seam Repairs

CAUTION

Loose lap seams should be re


paired as soon as possible after

discovery.

NOTE: Loose lap seam edges not more than two


inches long on cell interior or exterior sur
faces may be repaired. Seam separation re
pairs require buffing, cementing and a
patch installation.

(a). Buff an area on exterior surface
extending 2 inches (5.08 cm) in all
directions from seam separation.

CAUTION
D Fuel cell and patch contact surfaces must
be perfectly clean and dry prior to adhe
sive and patch application. Rubber and
fabric particles, moisture, and fuel or oil
from fingers will prevent proper patch/
cell adhesive seal and may subsequently
provide a leak path. Wear clean, lint free
gloves to handle patch and cell after pre
paring surfaces for cement and patch
application.
D Careless application of compressed air be
tween lap joints may separate seam fur
ther.
(b). Either air-vacuum or blow buffing
dust out of separation with dry, low
pressure, compressed air.
(c). Wipe inside and outside of repair
area clean with cheesecloth (CM820)
moistened with MEK (CM219).
Continue wiping with fresh solvent
dampened cheesecloth as required
until no stain or particle appears on
the swab after the last wipe. Allow
area to dry.
Use cement sparingly. Two thin,
CAUTION even coats provide better adhe
sion than one thick coat.

NOTE: Determine cement adhesive tack with a


test specimen. Apply cement to a piece of
buffed, scrap patch material each time ce
ment is spread on cell and repair patch.
(d). Apply two coats of EC678 cement
(CM607) allowing 15 minutes be
tween applications. Allow second coat

membrane. Do not probe, cut, or
puncture blisters with tool perpendicular to
cell wall.

CAUTION

(b). Slit blister open with an X cut to


expose all of the delaminated surface.
Lift flaps and mop interior with clean
cheesecloth (CM820) and MEK
(CM219). Buff underlying cell surface
and blister flaps with emery cloth
(CM804). Air-vacuum or blow away
all traces of buffing dust.
(c). Wipe inside and outside of repair
area clean with cheesecloth moist
ened with solvent or MEK. Continue
wiping with fresh solvent dampened
cheesecloth as required until no stain
or particle appears on the swab after
the last wipe. Allow area to dry.
Use cement sparingly. Two,
thin, even coats provide better
adhesion than one thick coat.

CAUTION

NOTE: Determine cement adhesive tack with a


test specimen. Apply cement to a piece of
buffed, scrap patch material each time ce
ment is spread on cell and repair patch.
(d). Apply two coats of EC678 cement
allowing 15 minutes between applica
tions. Allow second coat to dry 15
minutes.
(e). Roll blister together starting from the
bottom of each flap pocket toward the
open end, 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) per
pass. Ensure no air is trapped
underneath.

CSP-HMI-2

(2). Fabricate two smooth, flat, rigid, metal


plates with no sharp edges or corners.
Plates must be larger than cemented
repair area.
Excessive clamp pressure may
deform cell and, or squeeze ce
ment out of joint.

CAUTION

(a). Cover both sides of repair with


polyethylene plastic or oiled paper
sheets large enough to cover entire
cemented area.

NOTE: Do not include opposite cell wall in


clamp up. Work through cell access opening
and arrange cell as necessary to clamp only
the wall containing the blister repair.
(3). Sandwich cell wall repair area and
barrier material between pressure
plates. Install at least two C-clamps
over pressure plates. Equalize clamp
pressure.
(4). Do not disturb cell. Maintain pressure
for six hours, minimum, after which cell
is ready for patch installation; remove
clamps and plates.
(5). Use #5200/5187/5194 sandwich patch
material on cell interiors.
(6). Use #5218 patch material on non-selfsealing cell exterior surfaces.
(7). Prepare cell wall and patch for installa
tion per instructions for Patch Installa
tion. Install patch.
(8). Heat soak transmitter assembly in an
oven set at 100F (38C), maximum for
one hour to vaporize trapped volatiles.
A heat gun may be used as an alternate
drying method. Pot transmitter electri
cal connections with sealing compound
MIL-S-8802 (CM425).

NOTE: Antiice / airframe fuel filter is not certified for installation on C30 engine installation.

NOTE: On the 600N helicopter, the airframe


fuel filter is not certified as an anti-ice fuel
filter. Throughout this section, the airframe
fuel filter will be refered to as an anti-ice
fuel filter.
1. Description
(1). The airframe mounted anti-ice fuel
filter is installed on the aft face of the
firewall upstream of the engine fuel
pump filter. The 10 micron, 500 square
inch disposable filter element strips ice
and other solids from the fuel before it
enters the engine fuel system.
2. Operation
(1). A flow pressure sensing switch in the
filter body furnished with all installa
tions closes when flow differential
pressure across the filter drops to a
preset level.
(2). On the 369H90022-BSC installation,
pressure switch contact closure directs
28Vdc current across the S2 contacts of
the FUEL FILTER relay K254 to
activate the RT170-277 time delay
relay (TDR). The TDR energizes relay
K254 after a two to five second delay,
closing switches S1, S2, and S3;
energizing the FUEL FILTER caution
light, start pump and START PUMP
ON light.
(3). On 369H90022-503, -505 and
600N98110-501 fuel filter installations,
pressure switch closure only advises the

pilot of an impending or total fuel filter


blockage by lighting the AIRFRAME
FILTER caution lamp in the caution/
warning panel. The pilot must manual
ly set the START PUMP switch ON to
pressurize the fuel system.
(4). On all installations, total filter blockage
forces a filter bypass valve in the filter
body open to second supply unfiltered
fuel to the engine.
(5). Pressing the FUEL FILTER caution
light/switch supplied with
369H90022-BSC installations resets
relay K254 and the time delay relay,
shuts down the start pump and START
PUMP ON light and switches off the
FUEL FILTER caution light.
(6). The caution light dimmer switch on the
lower left control panel of -BSC
installations controls only FUEL
FILTER caution light intensity with
DIM or BRT positions. FUEL FILTER
caution lamp test is executed with the
PRESS TO TST WARN LT switch on
the caution/warning light panel.
(7). On -503, -505 and -501 installations,
caution light intensities, including the
AIRFRAME FILTER light are
controlled through the WARN LT DIM
potentiometer on the pedestal switch
panel.
(8). Circuit protection is provided by the 7.5
ampere anti-ice FUEL FILTER circuit
breaker on the anti-ice fuel filter panel.

engine driven fuel pump when the start
pump is switched off. Water, ice, dirt,
fungus, trapped air or a few pinhole
leaks in the supply system between the
fuel tank sump pickup and engine
combustion chamber nozzles may cause
power surges, deceleration and, or
flameout. A vacuum leak inspection will
determine whether or not air can be
drawn into the fuel system by the
engine driven fuel pump.
(2). An automotive vacuum test pump and
hardware that will provide 8 Hg
vacuum or better is required to do the
vacuum leak check.

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(3). Assemble vacuum pump, hoses, filter
port adapter, shutoff valve and vacuum
gage as follows:
(a). Insert a vacuum gage in the vacuum
hose between the engine fuel filter
port adapter and vacuum shutoff
valve. Attach the vacuum pump to
the vacuum hose above the shutoff
valve.
(b). Plug vacuum hose and pull 5 - 10 Hg
vacuum. Apparatus should hold the
selected pressure indefinitely. Repair
leaky equipment before proceeding
with fuel system test.

CSP-HMI-2

(b). Fuel system shall hold vacuum


between 8 and 7.5 Hg for two min
utes.
(c). If test is satisfactory, remove test
apparatus. Inspect and replace filter
plug O-ring as required. Install filter
plug.
(6). Vacuum loss exceeding 0.5 Hg in two
minutes indicates a leak somewhere in
the system between the fuel shutoff
valve and engine.
(a). Torque fuel line connections (Ref.
Table 601). Repeat vacuum test.

(c). Open engine access doors.


(d). Remove left fuel cell floor access
panel.

filter bowl.
(4). Disconnect the fuel bleed return line at
Sta. 124.00 (if equipped) and cap off.
(5). Attach vacuum test apparatus to
engine fuel filter upper drain port.
(a). Apply 8 Hg vacuum. Close vacuum
line shutoff valve.

(b). If system continues to leak, discon


nect and install airtight caps or plugs
in tubes, hoses and fitting ports in a
progressive sequence from fuel
shutoff valve toward engine. The fuel
shutoff and drain valve installations
should be especially suspect. Apply
vacuum at each stage until leak has
been isolated. Replace parts as
required.
(c). Apply a torque stripe to all effected
fuel line fittings and nuts.
(d). If the airframe system vacuum held
at 7.5 Hg or better, system seal is
satisfactory and malfunction is
probably due to an engine system
leak. Refer to the applicable Allison
and Bendix manuals for additional
information.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Landing Gear
The landing gear consists of two strutmounted, shock-dampened skids aligned
longitudinally along the helicopter fuselage.
Both right and left skids pivot as the damper
assemblies extend and retract. Replaceable
abrasion strips are installed on each skid to
retard wear on hard surfaces.
A. Skid
Landing gear skids provide helicopter rest
mounts. Skid tubes are constructed from
seamless, extruded aluminum alloy tubing.
Abrasion strips attached to undersides of skid
tubes retard wear and damage. Ground
handling fittings riveted to skid tubes are the
ground handling attach points. Forward end of
skid contains provisions for night lighting
equipment. An adapter sleeve at the aft end of
skid tube provides a nonrigid mount for the aft
foot bearing and skid extension.
B. Strut
The landing gear struts attach to the fuselage
center beam. Landing gear braces between the
landing gear strut and fuselage center beam
prevent shearing of the strut and keep the
strut in alignment with the landing gear. At
the lower ends of the struts, foot-shaped
components attach the landing gear skids to
the struts. Feet for the aft strut are bearingmounted to provide a nonrigid and pivotal
mount.
C. Damper
Landing gear assemblies are equipped with
front and rear damper assemblies. Dampers
absorb vertical shock to landing gear struts
during helicopter landings. Front damper
assemblies are attached to oleo attachment
fittings on the outboard side of the pilot's

compartment seat structure. Aft damper


assemblies are attached to oleo support fittings
in the engine compartment.
The damper assemblies are approximately
12.21 inches (31.01 cm) long when extended
and 8.96 inches (22.76 cm) long when com
pressed. The dampers are poppet-type and
consist of a barrel, upper and lower mounting
cap, main poppet, rebound poppet and a
piston. Damper exterior surfaces are painted
white for surface protection and as an aid to
identification.
A damper must be replaced if damaged, or if
loss of pneumatic pressure (nitrogen gas) or
hydraulic oil occurs.
D. Entry Step
Entry steps mounted on the landing gear
struts allow for easy access into cabin. The
landing gear step is covered with non-skid
tape and attached to the landing gear strut
with lockbolts.
E. Fairing
Fiberglass/aluminum fairings on each strut
reduce aerodynamic drag during flight. The
fairings extend from the fuselage to the skids
to form streamlined enclosures for the landing
gear struts. Each fairing assembly is con
structed of three main parts: a fillet, an upper,
and lower two-piece fairing. The fillet is
spring-loaded to remain in firm contact with a
fiberglass rubbing plate that is bonded and
riveted to the fuselage. The fairing is secured
to the landing gear and telescopes up inside
the fillet to allow movement of the strut as the
landing gear dampers compress or extend. A
seal on the bottom edge of the fairing forms a
fillet between the fairing and the skid tube.
Fairings also have openings for cabin entry
steps.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


SERVICING
1. Landing Gear Damper Nitrogen Servicing
(Ref. Figure 301) Service landing gear damp
ers equipped with schrader valve according to
the following steps.
Do not recharge a damper if
there is evidence of fluid leak
age. Recharging of damper will cause fur
ther leakage of both gas and damper fluid,
posing a danger to the helicopter.

CAUTION

(1). Place helicopter on jacks or hoist.

NOTE: A minimum of two dampers shall be re


charged; either the two forward dampers,
two aft dampers, or both forward and aft
dampers.
(2). For forward damper servicing, remove
footwell panel located in passenger
compartment (Ref. Sec. 25-30-00). For
aft damper servicing, open engine
access doors.
(3). Remove cap from schrader valve and
connect servicing hose, but do not
tighten.
(4). Ensure low side of nitrogen pressure
regulator is backed off to the unpres
surized position. Slowly open the high
pressure nitrogen bottle valve.
(5). Slowly turn regulator control until
nitrogen begins to flow at the loose

servicing hose-schrader valve connec


tion.
(6). Tighten servicing hose while nitrogen is
flowing. Allow nitrogen pressure to
build to the valve according to dash
number and part number of damper
(Ref. Table 301 or Table 302).
To prevent damage to damper or
loss of damper fluid do not open
schrader valve without pressurizing the
servicing line. If fluid loss occurs, damper
will require overhaul.

CAUTION

(7). Once pressure level is reached open


schrader valve by turning outside nut
counter clockwise, allowing system and
damper pressure to equalize for a
minimum of 2 minutes. If slightly over
pressurized, bleed off excess very
slowly.
(8). Close schrader valve by turning the
outside nut clockwise. Torque nut to 60
inch pounds (6.78 Nm) and safety
wire.
(9). Reduce charge pressure to zero, and
remove servicing hose. Install cap on
schrader valve.
(10). Inspect damper for leakage approxi
mately two hours after servicing. Check
damper extension according to
Table 601 of this section.

and strut.
(7). Inspect strut bolt hole where drag brace
attaches as follows:
(a). If bushing is installed in drag brace
attach hole in strut, proceed as
follows:

a). Diameter of top hole (DIM. A)


should be 0.5313 inch (13.495
mm) maximum in any direction.
b). Diameter of bottom hole (DIM.
B) should be 0.50 inch (12.70
mm) maximum in any direction.
4). If no cracks are found around drag

(b). If no bushing is installed in drag
brace attach hole in strut, proceed as
follows:
1). Using 10X glass and bright light,
inspect strut around drag brace
attach holes (top and bottom
surfaces) for cracks. If any cracks
longer than 0.030 inch (0.762 mm)
in length are noted, strut must be
scrapped and serviceable strut
installed.
2). Check drag brace attach holes in
strut for elongation.
3). If any cracks, 0.030 inch (0.762
mm) in length or less, are noted or

button from underside of fairing
assembly. Using a bright light and 10X
magnifying glass, inspect rivet hole in
underside of strut for cracks. If crack is
found, strut must be scrapped and
serviceable strut installed.
4. Landing Gear Damper Inspection
(Ref. Table 601, Table 602 and Figure 401)

NOTE: It is normal for a thin hydraulic oil film


to remain on damper as a result of wiping
contact with piston seal. Newly-installed
dampers may also have slight oil seepage
from oil trapped in end cap threads during
damper assembly. Neither of these should
be considered damper leakage or cause for
damper replacement.
(1). Inspect for hydraulic oil leakage. If
leakage is visible, wipe oil from damper
after last flight of the day. Re-inspect
the following day for oil leakage. If
leakage persists, perform bench check
(Ref. COM).
(2). With helicopter on jacks, inspect
damper assemblies for evidence of
bearing looseness in upper and lower
caps, worn bearings (excessive radial
play), loose or cracked caps and oil
leakage. Any misalignment of torque
stripes on caps, piston and barrel
indicates loosening of caps. Replace
immediately and repair removed
damper.
(3). Inspect damper attaching hardware for
security.

NOTE: Dampers which have been modified


(winterized) for cold weather operation are
to be checked at not more than 30F above
the coldest temperature at which the heli
copter is operated.
(4). Inspect landing gear dampers for
condition by observing stance of
helicopter (normal stance is slightly
nose up). If stance indicates excessive
Page 604

nose up/nose down attitude, perform


damper extension check.

NOTE:
D The landing gear damper assemblies are
to be checked at a helicopter gross weight
of 1925 - 2075 pounds (874 - 942 kg) at a
longitudinal CG of approximately 103, ex
clusive of skid mounted flotation gear.
The empty weight of the 369D with full
fuel, but no passengers or cargo, is 1775 1925 pounds (806 - 874 kg). Therefore
achieve the test configuration by adding
75 pounds (34 kg) of ballast to both sides
of the cabin floor, just aft of the tail rotor
pedals, 150 pounds (68 kg) total. Place the
helicopter on a smooth concrete or equiva
lent surface (not asphalt).
D Dampers which have been modified (win
terized) for cold weather operation are to
be checked out no more than 30F (-1C)
above the coldest temperature at which
the helicopter is operated.
(a). Raise and lower tailboom above and
below the normal at-rest position
three times. On the last cycle, allow
the tailboom to slowly settle to the
at-rest position.
(b). Measure and record dimension from
upper end cap to upper end of barrel
on all four damper assemblies.
(c). Repeat steps (a). and (b). two more
times.
(d). Lower and raise tailboom below and
above the normal at-rest position
three times. On the last cycle, allow
the tailboom to slowly rise to the
at-rest position.
(e). Measure and record dimension from
upper end cap to upper end of barrel
on all four damper assemblies.
(f). Repeat steps (d). and (e). two more
times.
(g). Determine average extension from all
six readings for each damper assem
bly. Remove and overhaul any
damper assembly not meeting
dimensions (Ref. Table 601).

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: If two damper assemblies fail to meet


the minimum extension (Ref. Table 601), re
place the damper having the greater
amount of deflection with a known service
able damper and repeat steps (a). thru (g). If
the original damper again fails to meet
minimum extension requirements, replace
it with the known serviceable damper, rein
stall the first damper and repeat steps (a).
thru (g). This will determine whether one or
both dampers require overhaul. For owners
and operators having suitable equipment,
any damper not meeting minimum exten
sion requirements can be bench-checked by
applying a single load and measuring the
deflection when compressed. (Ref. Table 602
for load and compression requirements.)
Dampers meeting specifications in
Table 602 may be returned to service if oth
er defects are not noted.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Landing Gear System
The landing gear consists of two strutmounted, shock-dampened skids aligned
longitudinally along the helicopter fuselage.
Both right and left skids pivot as the damper
assemblies extend and retract. Replaceable
abrasion strips are installed on each skid to
retard wear on hard surfaces.
A. Skid
Landing gear skids provide helicopter rest
mounts. Skid tubes are constructed from
seamless, extruded aluminum alloy tubing.
Abrasion strips attached to undersides of skid
tubes retard wear and damage. Ground
handling bolts, bolted through the skid tubes,
are the ground handling attach points. An
adapter sleeve at the aft end of skid tube
provides a nonrigid mount for the aft foot
bearing and skid extension.
B. Strut
The landing gear struts attach to the fuselage
center beam. Landing gear braces between the
landing gear strut and fuselage center beam
prevent shearing of the strut and keep the
strut in alignment with the landing gear. At
the lower ends of the struts, foot-shaped
components attach the landing gear skids to
the struts. Feet for the aft strut are bearingmounted to provide a nonrigid and pivotal
mount.
C. Damper
Landing gear assemblies are equipped with
front and rear damper assemblies. Dampers
absorb vertical shock to landing gear struts
during helicopter landings and help prevent
ground resonance. Front damper assemblies
are attached to oleo attachment fittings on the
outboard side of the pilot's compartment seat

structure. Aft damper assemblies are attached


to oleo support fittings in the engine compart
ment.
The damper assemblies are approximately
12.19 (31 cm) inches long when extended and
8.94 (22.7 cm) inches long when compressed.
The dampers are nozzle-type and consist of a
barrel, upper and lower mounting cap and a
piston.
Damper exterior surfaces are painted white for
the standard gear and black for the extended
gear as an aid to identification and for surface
protection.
A damper must be replaced if damaged, or if
loss of hydraulic oil occurs.
D. Entry Step
Entry steps mounted on the forward landing
gear struts allow for easy access into the cabin.
The landing gear step is covered with non-skid
tape and attached to the landing gear strut
with rivets.
E. Fairing
Aluminum fairings on each strut reduce
aerodynamic drag during flight. The fairings
extend from the fuselage to the skids to form
streamlined enclosures for the landing gear
struts. Each fairing assembly is constructed of
three main parts: a fillet, an mid and lower
fairing. The fillet is spring-loaded to remain in
firm contact with a plastic rubbing plate that
is bonded and riveted to the fuselage. The
fairing is secured to the landing gear and
telescopes up inside the fillet to allow move
ment of the strut as the landing gear dampers
compress or extend. A seal on the bottom edge
of the fairing forms a fillet between the fairing
and the skid tube. Forward fairings also have
openings for cabin entry steps.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


SERVICING
1. Landing Gear Damper Nitrogen Servicing
(Ref. Figure 301) Service landing gear damp
ers equipped with schrader valve according to
the following steps.
Do not recharge a damper if
there is evidence of fluid leak
age. Recharging of damper will cause fur
ther leakage of both gas and damper fluid,
posing a danger to the helicopter.

CAUTION

(1). Place helicopter on jacks or hoist and


elevate until dampers are fully ex
tended..
(2). For forward damper servicing, remove
foot support fairings located in passen
ger compartment. For aft damper
servicing, open engine access doors.
(3). Remove cap from schrader valve and
connect servicing hose, but do not
tighten.
(4). Ensure low side of nitrogen pressure
regulator is backed off to the unpres
surized position. Slowly open the high
pressure nitrogen bottle valve.
(5). Slowly turn regulator control until
nitrogen begins to flow at the loose

servicing hose-schrader valve connec


tion.
(6). While the nitrogen is still flowing,
tighten servicing hose. Allow nitrogen
pressure to build to the value according
to part and dash number of damper
(Ref. Table 401).
To prevent damage to damper or
loss of damper fluid do not open
schrader valve without pressurizing the
servicing line. If fluid loss occurs, damper
will require overhaul.

CAUTION

(7). Once pressure level is reached, open


schrader valve by turning outside nut
counter clockwise. Allow system and
damper pressure to equalize for a
minimum of 2 minutes. If slightly over
pressurized, bleed off excess very
slowly.
(8). Close schrader valve by turning the
outside nut clockwise. Torque nut to 50
- 60 inch pounds (5.65 - 6.78 Nm).
Remove servicing hose and install valve
cap finger-tight.
(9). Remove aircraft from jacks or hoist.
(10). Inspect damper for leakage approxi
mately two hours after servicing.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM


INSPECTION/CHECK
1. Landing Gear Inspection
(Ref. Figure 401)

NOTE: If landing gear is installed, perform in


spection with helicopter skids clear of
ground.
(1). Inspect skids, skid abrasion strips,
struts, feet, braces and fairings for
dents, cracks, loose components or
rivets, loose nuts and for missing
hardware.
(2). Inspect skid-to-foot and foot-to-strut
attachments for loose bolts. Check aft
foot-to-bearing rivet installation for
security.
(3). Using 10X glass and bright light,
visually inspect area at, around and
between foot-to-strut attach bolts not
covered by sealant for cracks and
corrosion.

NOTE: If cracks or corrosion other than light


surface corrosion is found, replace affected
part.
(4). Inspect keel beam areas where the
strut assemblies attach for loose
bearings, condition of hardware and
strut adapters.
(5). Check condition of beaded seal around
edges of all rigid-mounted skid tube
components.
2. Landing Gear Skid Inspection
(Ref. Figure 401)

NOTE: If landing gear assembly has not been


removed from helicopter, perform following
steps (1). and (2). before proceeding with in
spection.
(1). Jack helicopter until landing gear
dampers are fully extended.

(2). Remove lower fairing from two-piece


fairing assembly.
(3). Inspect skid for dents. If dents exceed a
depth of 0.20 inch (5.08 mm), they will
require repair.
(4). Inspect for punctures and cracks.
(5). Perform fluorescent-penetrant inspec
tion of all crack areas, and of those
areas adjacent to all punctures. These
areas will require repair.
(6). Inspect from aft end of tube to a point
10 inches (25.4 cm) forward of aft strut
for scratches and nicks.
(7). Inspect from forward end of tube to 10
inches (25.4 cm) forward of aft strut for
scratches and nicks. If scratches and
nicks exceed a length of 0.25 inch (6.35
mm) and a depth of 0.020 inch (0.508
mm), they will require repair.
(8). Inspect abrasion strips for minimum
thickness of 0.040 inch (1 mm), damage
and for loose bolts and screws.
(9). Check skid extension rivet attachment
for security.
(10). Check condition of plug installed in
skid extension.
(11). Check aft foot bearing and extension for
wear, damage and corrosion.
3. Landing Gear Strut Inspection
(Ref. Table 801)
(1). Repair elongated, enlarged or worn
holes in strut, either inboard or out
board (Ref. SRM).
(2). Replace strut if cracked; if dents in
strut exceed 0.060 inch (1.524 mm)
depth; or, if scratches and repair area
depth would exceed 0.010 inch (0.254
mm) when measured to surrounding
unrepaired surface.

CSP-HMI-2

4. Landing Gear Damper Inspection


(Ref. Table 601 and Figure 401)

NOTE: It is normal for a thin hydraulic oil film


to remain on damper as a result of wiping
contact with piston seal. Newly-installed
dampers may also have slight oil seepage
from oil trapped in end cap threads during
damper assembly. Neither of these should
be considered damper leakage or cause for
damper replacement.
(1). Inspect for hydraulic oil leakage. If
leakage is visible, wipe oil from damper
after last flight of the day. Re-inspect
the following day for oil leakage. If
leakage persists, replace damper.
(2). With helicopter on jacks, inspect
damper assemblies for evidence of
bearing looseness in upper and lower
caps, worn bearings (excessive radial
play), loose or cracked caps and oil
leakage. Any misalignment of torque
stripes on caps, piston and barrel
indicates loosening of caps. Replace
immediately and repair removed
damper.
(3). Inspect damper attaching hardware for
security.

NOTE: The landing gear damper assemblies


are to be checked at a helicopter gross
weight of 2130 - 2230 pounds (967 - 1012
kg) at a longitudinal CG of 94 1, exclusive
of skid mounted flotation gear. Place the he
licopter on a smooth concrete or equivalent
surface (not asphalt).
(a). Raise and lower tailboom above and
below the normal at-rest position
three times. On the last cycle, allow
the tailboom to slowly settle to the
at-rest position.
(b). Measure and record dimension from
bottom of upper end cap to top of
barrel on all four damper assemblies.
(c). Repeat steps (a). and (b). two more
times.
Page 602
Revision 19

32-10-60

(d). Lower and raise tailboom below and


above the normal at-rest position
three times. On the last cycle, allow
the tailboom to slowly rise to the
at-rest position.
(e). Measure and record dimension from
bottom of upper end cap to top of
barrel on all four damper assemblies.
(f). Repeat steps (d). and (e). two more
times.
(g). Determine average extension from all
six readings for each damper assem
bly. Remove and overhaul any
damper assembly not meeting
dimensions (Ref. Table 601).

NOTE: If two damper assemblies fail to meet


the minimum extension (Ref. Table 601), re
place the damper having the greater
amount of deflection with a known service
able damper and repeat steps (a). thru (g). If
the original damper again fails to meet
minimum extension requirements, replace
it with the known serviceable damper, rein
stall the first damper and repeat steps (a).
thru (g). This will determine whether one or
both dampers require overhaul. For owners
and operators having suitable equipment,
any damper not meeting minimum exten
sion requirements can be bench-checked.
Dampers meeting specifications may be re
turned to service if other defects are not
noted.
5. Forward Cabin Entry Step Inspection
(1). Remove landing gear fairing assembly.
(2). Inspect step-to-strut attachment for
loose attaching hardware by checking
for relative motion between mating
parts.
(3). Inspect welded joint of step for cracks.
(4). Inspect safety walk tape for condition
and security. Replace unserviceable
tape.
(5). Install landing gear fairing assembly.
6. Landing Gear Fairing Inspection
(Ref. Figure 402)
(1). Inspect fairing support brackets for
security of attachment to strut, cracks
and deformation.

GROUND HANDLING WHEELS


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Ground Handling Wheel Assembly
The standard ground handling wheel assem
blies provide a means of moving the helicopter
by hand or by towing.
The special ground handling wheel assemblies
for use with helicopters equipped with
emergency or utility floats provide a means of
moving the helicopter by hand only.
A. Ground Handling Wheel Description and
Operation
(1). Standard ground handling wheel
assembly consists of one detachable
jack handle and two two-wheeled
jacking assemblies that can be
straddle-mounted to the left and right
landing gear skids by use of existing
ground handling wheel fittings. The
wheels are manually lowered with a
detachable jack handle and are held in
the down position (helicopter raised on
wheels) by a mechanical lock. The
jacking assemblies are equipped with
two tow bar attach fittings for towing.
(2). Special ground handling wheels are
needed in place of standard ground
handling wheel assemblies for moving a
helicopter equipped with emergency or
utility floats. These wheel assemblies
are specially designed for use with
emergency floats and raise the landing
skids higher off the ground than
standard ground handling wheels. A
channel provides support for the
underside of the landing gear skid. A
rubber pad on the channel furnishes
sufficient skid retaining friction
without need for attachment of wheel
assembly to skid. Guards above the
wheel on each side of the channel
prevent wheel chafing of floats.
2. Standard Ground Handling Wheel
Installation and Use
(1). Position ground handling wheel
assembly over the skid tube at the
location of the skid fittings.

(2). With ground handling wheels in the


retracted position, align and engage the
skid fittings.

NOTE: Slide wheel assembly for and aft to en


sure locking mechanism is securely locked
into place.
(3). Install jack handle over the wheel
assembly socket, install lock pin and
rotate handle downward to lower the
wheels and raise the helicopter.
Hold downward pressure on

WARNING jack handle until the extend

lock snaps into locked position. If the


lock is not properly engaged and the
handle is released, the upward swing of
the handle could cause serious person
al injury.
(4). Check that the extend lock is engaged;
then release downward pressure and
remove jack handle.
(5). Install second ground handling wheel
assembly on the other skid in the same
manner.
3. Special Ground Handling Wheel
Installation and Use
(Ref. Figure 201)
Damage may result from push
ing up and/or pulling down on
the tail boom to facilitate installation of spe
cial ground handling wheels.

CAUTION

NOTE: When the helicopter is jacked from one


side only, a cushion saddle-type support
should be placed under the tail boom at the
jacking pad location for extra stability.
(1). Install and use special ground handling
wheel assemblies as follows.
(a). Jack up one side of the helicopter for
clearance to place ground handling
wheel assembly under the landing
gear skid.

GROUND HANDLING WHEELS


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Ground Handling Wheel Assembly
The standard ground handling wheel assem
blies provide a means of moving the helicopter
by hand or by towing.
A. Ground Handling Wheel Assembly
Description and Operation
The ground handling wheel set consists of two
dual wheel assemblies, which are designed to
support a fully equipped helicopter. The wheel
assembly consists of two pneumatic tires, rims,
spindles, hydraulic jack and attach cradle.
(1). Tires:
The tires are 10 ply with a maximum
rating of 1120 lb at 65 psi (508 kg at
448 kPa).
(2). Rims:
The rim rotates on a spindle by means
of inner and outer tapered roller
bearings with an external grease fitting
on the hub for periodic servicing.
(3). Hydraulic Jacks:
A six ton jack is held in place on the
main frame by a support plate.

The jack retains a vertical position


during raising and lowering of the
wheels.
The ram of the jack is in constant
contact with the upper cross frame of
the main body, providing vertical
pumping leverage forcing the wheels
down.
(4). Attach Cradle and Main Frame Body:
The attach cradle is attached to the
main frame body by means of two pins
with cotter pins. The contoured cradle
is slotted to lock onto the skids.
2. Ground Handling Wheel Assembly
Maintenance
(1). Ensure tire pressure is within manufac
turer's specifications.
(2). Inspect tires for wear and cuts, none
allowed.
(3). Inspect wheels for cracks and defects,
none allowed.
(4). At regular intervals, repack wheel
bearings and grease spindle assembly
guides.
(5). At regular intervals, inspect hydraulic
jacks for proper fluid levels.

UTILITY FLOAT SYSTEM


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Utility Float Description and Operation
Utility floats consists of neoprene airtight
chambers separated by internal walls that
provide six individual watertight compart
ments. Skid attachment strips (girts), bonded
to underside of floats, are bolted to landing
gear skids and extensions. Floats are inflated
to a normal operating pressure of 2.0 psig (14
kPa). Relief valves release air pressure if
compartment pressure becomes excessive. A
stabilizer assembly is attached at the aft end
of the skid tube extension.

NOTE: If a helicopter with utility floats is tilted


back on the tail skid to install ground handl
ing wheels, approximately 1 pint (0.437 li
ter) of oil is trapped in the tail rotor trans
mission. This condition gives a false sight
plug oil level indication immediately after
return to a level attitude. After ground ru
nup, oil level indication is normal.
A. Utility Float Operational Check
With helicopter on the ground and utility
floats inflated to normal operating pressure,
perform the following operational checks:
(1). Check all float compartments for 2.0
psig (14 kPa).

NOTE: Changes in atmospheric pressure, and


temperature of float compartments affects
pressure gage readings. A temperature
change of 1 degree equals 0.032 psig (0.2206
kPa).
(2). Check for pressure drop with pressure
gage that indicates 0 - 15 psi (0 - 103
kPa), graduated in 0.5 psi (3.447 kPa)
increments. Maximum allowable
pressure drop in 24 hours is limited to

0.5 psig (3.447 kPa) for each compart


ment.
(3). Place BATTERY-OFF-EXT PWR
switch at BATTERY. Actuate POS LT
switch to the ON position. Observe that
left and right position lights illuminate.
Place all switches at OFF position.
2. Utility Float Inspection
(1). Inspect float chambers for correct air
pressure.
(2). Inspect float bags for abrasion and
chafing.
(3). Inspect pressure relief and fill valves
for condition and closure.
A. Skid Tube and Extension Assembly
Inspection
Inspection of skid tube and extension assembly
is identical to that described in Sec. 32-10-00.
B. Utility Float Repair
Repair materials and information are avail
able from the float manufacturer. Make
repairs to utility floats using materials
according to manufacturer's instructions.
3. Utility Float Troubleshooting
Refer to Table 201 for troubleshooting informa
tion. Troubles presented are listed in order of
possible occurrence during performance of
operational check. This information is pro
vided to aid in isolating faults found during
operational check or normal operation of the
system. The fault is then removed by repair or
replacement to return the system to troublefree operation. Troubleshooting and repair of
internal components of the float is beyond the
scope of this section.

EMERGENCY FLOAT SYSTEM


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Emergency Float System Description and
Operation
A collapsed emergency float with an emergen
cy inflation system (stowed condition) is
attached to each landing gear skid. The floats
may be fully inflated during flight in approxi
mately five seconds. The electrically controlled
inflation system includes a self-test capability
to provide the pilot with a visual indication of
the electrical circuit reliability. Landing on
water or land is permitted when emergency
floats are inflated.
Emergency flotation equipment in the stowed
condition does not restrict normal land
operation of the helicopter. When inflated, the
floats will support the helicopter on water at
maximum gross weight. After emergency
inflation, the inflation system may be serviced
with fully charged dry air or nitrogen pressure
vessels, and the floats repackaged to a
streamlined stowed condition.
A. Emergency Float Description
(1). Electrical System The emergency float
electrical installation assumes prior
incorporation of the 369H90129-31,
369H90129-505 or 369H90129-511
pilot's cyclic stick grip kit. The emer
gency float electrical system includes a
circuit breaker, visual indicator switch
for testing circuit operation reliability,
and a relay. The pilot's cyclic stick grip
is equipped with an EMERG/FLOAT
push-button switch. When the pilot's
grip switch is actuated, the electrical
system energizes and provides electrical
power for simultaneous operation of the
left and right emergency float inflation
system. The float inflation system
consists of an electrically operated
solenoid valve, or squib valve, attached
to a compressed dry air or dry nitrogen
pressure vessel. When the solenoid is
energized or the squib is actuated, the
pressure vessel valve opens and
releases compressed dry air or dry
nitrogen into compartments of each
float.

(2). Flotation Equipment Emergency


flotation equipment consist of two
inflatable emergency floats, electroni
cally controlled inflation equipment,
four landing gear fairings and landing
gear skid tube extensions. Nutplates on
each skid tube and extension provide
for float attachment. A cabin entry step
may be used with the landing gear
without interference with the floats.
(3). Inflatable Emergency Floats Each of
the two inflatable neoprene emergency
floats consists of sealed airtight
chambers separated by internal walls
that provide five individual watertight
compartments. Skid attachment strips
(girts), bonded to the underside of the
floats, are bolted to the landing gear
skids. In addition, fore and aft web
support straps secure the floats to the
skids. The floats are inflated to a
nominal operating pressure of 4.0 psig
(28 kPa) by the emergency inflation
system upon pilot activation of the
inflation system electrical control
equipment. Relief valves provide for air
pressure release at a compartment
pressure of 4.5 psi (31 kPa) or above.
A snap-on containment cover with
lacing restrains the float in the stowed
configuration until the emergency
inflation system inflates the float. The
containment cover inboard side auto
matically unsnaps and is pushed
outboard as the float inflates. After
emergency float use, deflation, pressure
vessel recharging and folding, the cover
is again snapped in place over the float
and replaced for subsequent reuse.
A mooring ring atop each end of the
float is furnished for towing and
mooring. An extended landing gear skid
tube extension supports the float aft
section on the landing gear. Forward
and aft restraining straps are provided
at landing gear strut and fairing
locations. Gap covers close off the
inboard cutouts for the strut fairings.

(4). Emergency Inflation System The


emergency inflation system consists of
a charged compressed pressure vessel,
air hoses, valves and associated
components for inflation of the emer
gence floats. A complete emergency
inflation system is installed on and is
part of each float.
When actuated by inflation system
electrical control equipment, a solenoid
valve or squib valve attached to the
pressure vessel releases compressed dry
air or dry nitrogen for distribution
through the air hoses and inlet check
valves for the five float compartments.
A relief valve on each float compart
ment opens if compartment pressure
exceeds 5 0.5 psi (34.5 3.5 kPa).
The pressure vessel operating pressure
is 3000 - 3575 psig (20684 - 24649 kPa)
at 65 - 85F (18 - 30C); 3500 75 psig
(24132 517 kPa) at 65 - 85F (18 30C) is preferred. The manifold is
attached to the pressure vessel along
with an indicating pressure gage, filler
valve and a pressure relief valve. The
pressure vessel relief valve operates at
and above 4250 250 psig (29303 1724
kPa). Detachable rubber boots cover the
filler and pressure relief valves for
protection against chafing. The pres
sure vessel may be detached from the
float for servicing.
2. Certification and Shelf/Service Life
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
has granted Squib PN 5003527-1 of the
squib-actuated emergency float valve a
provisional five-year life limit. This life limit
is established by date of manufacture, which is
ink-stamped on the body of the squib (Ref.
Sec. 04-00-00).
3. Emergency Float Inspection (Stowed
Configuration)

NOTE: The following inspections must be per


formed daily and before each flight.
(1). Observe vessel pressure through
inspection window.
Page 202
Revision 19

(2). Check girt to skid attaching hardware


for condition and corrosion.
(3). Check float cover fasteners and lacing
for security.
(4). Examine float stowage cover for
abrasive damage that may have
disturbed package float.
(5). Perform an operational check of float
inflation system electrical control
equipment.
4. Emergency Float Inspection

NOTE: To be performed every six months or as


necessary.
(1). Check for proper air pressure indication
on pressure gage.
(2). If float is stowed, unsnap containment
cover and loosen restraining lacing for
access to emergency inflation system
components.
(3). Remove pressure vessel, inspect for
damage and scratched, nicked or
otherwise damaged paint coating.

NOTE: Superficial paint coating damage


should be repaired by paint touchup.
(4). Inspect valves, air hoses and other air
distribution components for damage,
deformity, strain, chafing or corrosion.

NOTE: Corrosion of the electrically operated


solenoid/squib valve may occur as a result of
improper charging of the pressure vessel.
Ensure that only dry air or dry nitrogen is
used to charge the pressure vessel.
(5). Perform an inflation system electrical
control equipment operational check to
ensure electrical continuity and
connection of solenoid/squib valve.
Ensure that pressure vessel
gage is visible through inspec
tion window.

2. Emergency Float Pressure Vessel
Servicing and Replacement
(Ref. Figure 401) Maximum allowable temper
ature during charging is 165F (75C).
Detaching the pressure vessel from the float
during charging is the preferred procedure.
Maximum pressure vessel pressure is 3500
psig (24132 kPa) at room temperature, 70F
(21C). As outside air temperature will affect
the day-to-day gage reading, temperature
versus pressure readings are important during
servicing or inspection of the pressure vessel
air pressure. The indicated pressure on the
gage will increase or decrease 6.6 psig (45.5
kPa) per 1F (0.4C) increase or decrease,
respectively, in vessel air temperature. Slow
variations in ambient air temperature will be
reflected in the vessel air temperature;
however, it must be considered that direct or
reflected solar radiation will result in higher
pressure than would be anticipated for the
existing ambient air temperature.

4. Emergency Float Folding
(Ref. Figure 404) Folding instructions con
tained in this procedure are provided as a
general guide for float packing. Float folding
will require the aid of an assistant and
considerable care in preparing the smallest
float package possible during the initial folding
steps. A minimum amount of wrinkles and
complete air evacuation is essential to final
closure of cover snap fasteners.
(1). Position deflated float (five fill valves
OPEN).

NOTE: The float assembly must be removed


from the stowage envelope for installation.
Do not attempt to position the float for pack
aging with the float chambers fully col
lapsed.
(2). Fold the float as outlined in the figure.
On completion, the folded float must be
contained within the float stowage

Page 406
Revision 19

cover, all snaps must be closed and the


pressure vessel pressure gage must be
visible in the inspection window.
Special attention should be paid to the
following information which is pres
ented as an aid in establishing a final
float folding technique.
(a). Accomplish float folding in two
stages, first performing float arrange
ment (pre-folding) to the extent
necessary to position the float and
float components in approximate
required positions and then proceed
ing with the final folding.

NOTE: Partial inflation of float compartments


is required to enable float arrangement dur
ing initial pre-folding.
(b). During pre-folding and before air
evacuation of the forward compart
ments (cells) as outlined in step 4, do
the following. Gather and compress
the float fabric tightly against the
vessel and pull the cover over the
inboard-facing pressure gage to
estimate final cover window-to-gage
relationship. This fabric bunching/
cover pulling action may be required
several times before an approxima
tion (best guess) of final window
position is established. When cover
position appears good, evacuate all
air from the forward cells and
recheck the window-to-gage rela
tionship.
(c). As soon as a float chamber is ar
ranged in the desired position, hold
the components in place, flatten as
many wrinkles as possible and
evacuate air from the float chamber.
While the vacuum is still being
applied, close the fill valves.

CREW, PASSENGER, CARGO DOORS AND WINDOWS


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Crew and Passenger/Cargo Door
Description and Operation
The pilot and passenger/cargo doors are
bonded aluminum alloy frames containing
large smoke-grey-tinted cast acrylic windows.
Plastic snapvents are installed in each door
window. An acrylic stop, bonded to the doubler,
prevents normal airflow from pulling the
snapvent from the window during flight. These
units may be rotated for intake or exhaust of
ventilating air and may be pulled inward for
complete closure. Damaged snapvents should
be replaced, (Ref. Snapvent Replacement);
repair is not practical.
Pilot and passenger/cargo doors are equipped
with an automatic latching mechanism. Two
door hinges on each door are provided with
quick-removal type ball-lock hinge pins.
Pilot and passenger/cargo doors are equipped
with automatic latching mechanisms. The
latching mechanisms permit the door to be
closed and safelocked from inside or outside.
Each installation contains a key-operated cam
lock, actuated from outside. Opening door from
inside overrides key-operated cam lock. Pilot
and cargo door latching mechanisms are
essentially the same except for length of
interconnecting rods.
A. Early DoorLatching System
Early mechanisms, installed within the door
panel, consist of four latch blocks that house
spring-loaded latch bolts and safelock triggers
together with latch sliders.

The latch sliders are interconnected to rods


and clevis devices and are moved by turning
inside or outside door handle.
Movement of either handle into safelock
position is prevented until door is closed and
safelock position is prevented until door is
closed and safelock triggers are actuated by
the strikes. This actuation causes the safelock
triggers to clear notches on latch sliders,
allowing the latch sliders and linkage to move
into safelock position.
B. Current Door Latching System
(HookLatch)
Current door latching mechanisms used on
pilot and passenger/cargo compartment doors
consist of four hook type latches mounted on
the door frame. The four latches are actuated
by latch sliders which are synchronized and
connected by steel connector rods to the door
handle.
With the door handle at the rest position, the
door may be firmly shut and the hooks will
ride up over and engage their striker pins.
Safelocking is accomplished by moving the
door handle to the lock position, which causes
the latch slider that operates each hook latch
to engage a pin within the latch block,
preventing further movement until the handle
is moved to the open position. When the
handle is moved to the open position, the latch
sliders fully extend the latch hooks from their
latch blocks, disengaging them from their
striker pins and allowing the door to open.

2. HookLatch Automatic Door Latching


System Troubleshooting
Table 201. HookLatch Automatic Door Latching System Troubleshooting
Problem

Probable Cause

Hooks fail to engage striker


pin, or more than 0.050 inch
(1.27 mm) gap between latch
hook and striker pin (Latch
hooks extend normally).

Latches fail to extend from


latch block when handle
moved to open position.

Door does not safelock when


door handle is moved to lock
position.

Repair

Door seal swollen or bonding


to door frame failed.

Repair seal (Ref. Door Seal Repair).

Striker assembly mounted too


far inboard or outboard on
door frame.

Loosen striker assembly mounting screws and


adjust striker assembly position.

Latch block assembly too far


from striker pin.

Add or remove 0.063 inch (1.60 mm) and


0.032 inch (0.81 mm) washers as shims under
latch block mounting screws, as required (1).
Remove or add shims under striker assembly,
as required.

Striker assembly hitting or


rubbing on door waffle.

Route out waffle enough to clear.

Striker assembly hitting latch


cover (2).

Check latch covers for dents or chipped paint


that indicates contact between latch cover and
striker assembly. Remove material from latch
cover to allow striker assembly clearance.

Latch hooks or latch sliders


sticking in latch block.

Lubricate latch block moving parts.

Connector rod(s) improperly


adjusted.

Adjust connector rod(s) by removing clevis


from sliding cam and raising or lowering
threaded connector as required on threaded
portion of rod. Threads of rod and connector
must be engaged through solid portion of
connector. Rod end may be flush with or
extend beyond bottom, of solid part of
connector.

Connector rod bent or


damaged.

Check connector rods and clevis. Replace


damaged part.

Connector rod(s) improperly


adjusted.

Check witness hole in latch blocks.


Semicircle cutout in each latch slider must be
fully seated around pin when safe locking is
engaged. Adjust connector rods until correct
pin engagement is achieved for each latch
slider.

NOTES:
(1) If latch block protrudes beyond middle line or door after shimming, slot mounting holes in latch block
cover 0.20 inch (5.08 mm) downward from center of existing hole to allow cover to shift up above middle
line of door waffle.
(2) Door should be closed from inside helicopter to determine if striker pin assembly is hitting or rubbing latch
cover. Enough force can be applied when closing door from outside to prevent detection of contact
between striker pin assembly and latch cover.

6. Door Seal Compression Check
(Ref. Figure 208) Inspect rubber weatherstrip
compression seal for tight compression
between the door and frame as follows:
(1). Open door.
(2). Hold a strip of heavy paper against
door seal so that strip extends approxi
mately 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) beyond seal
toward outside of doorway.
(3). While holding paper strip in place, close
door.
(4). Attempt to pull paper strip from
between door frame and seal. Strip
should not pull out unless a moderately
heavy pull is exerted.

NOTE: Correct fit is indicated by an approxi


mate 0.060 inch (1.524 mm) interference fit
between door seal and bumper. Where strip
can be withdrawn with a light pull, fit of
door against frame is not sufficiently tight
to provide an adequate seal. This condition
may be due to deterioration of weatherstrip
compression seal, deformation of door
frame, worn hinges or improper latching.
(5). Repeat this procedure at approximately
1 foot (30 cm) increments along length
of door seal.

B. Engagement Depth of Latch Bolts with


Striker Adjustment
Adjust engagement depth of latch bolts with
strikes by removing latch covers and moving
latch assemblies as necessary in their slotted
mounting holes or by adding shims under
strikes.

NOTE: Complete safelocking exists when latch


bolt extension is at maximum and roller on
safelock trigger is engaged in safelock slot in
latch slider. At this condition, safelock trig
ger retracts when latch slider is moved
slightly in unlatch direction.
C. Connector Rod Adjustment
(1). Open door or remove from helicopter.
(2). Remove latch cover.
(3). Press all safelock triggers and rotate
handle to safelock position. Remove
clevis pin from connector rod or latch
being adjusted.
(4). Move latch slider manually to complete
safelock position. Adjust connector rod
length so that clevis pin can be in
stalled easily.

NOTE: Position of fourth and first latches can


be individually adjusted without disturbing
adjustment of other latches. If position of
second or third latches is adjusted, then all
should be checked. When adjusting all four,
start with third latch, and proceed to sec
ond, first and then fourth.
D. Latch Compression Adjustment (Early
System)
Latch compression spring adjustment may be
necessary and should be checked if part
replacement, particularly in stack-up between
upper clevis on third latch and first mounting
bracket or change in position of clevis has been
made.

13. Latching Mechanism Operational Check
(Early System)
(1). Check inside and outside door handle at
all positions for function.
(2). Close door from inside. Entire beveled
face of each bolt must make contact
with strike and must hold door firmly
against door seals. Bolts must be
positioned on strike such that there is
sufficient space for bolt to extend an
additional minimum 0.125 inch (3.175
mm) into strike for safelocking latches
(Ref. Figure 203).
(3). Check that each latch bolt makes
contact with mating strike. Unequal
striking and latching indicates latch
assembly or strike require adjustment
or shimming.
(4). Safelock door and observe that door is
forced inward for seal compression at
each latch position. Unequal safelock
ing may indicate that connector rods
are not properly adjusted for complete
extension of latch bolts.
14. HookLatch Door Latching System
Operational Check
(Ref. Figure 203)
Perform following operational check of
hook-latch door-latching system. If malfunc
tion is noted, refer to Table 201 for trouble
shooting and repair information.
(1). Check inside and outside door handle at
all positions for function. From open
and lock positions door handle should
spring back to rest position when
released.
(2). Move handle to open position. Ensure
all four latch hooks are fully extended
from their latch blocks.

FUSELAGE
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Fuselage General
(Ref. Figure 201) The helicopter fuselage
consists of three major structural sections; the
forward, lower and aft fuselage sections. For
classification and definition of types of
negligible damage, and for guidelines defining
extent of damage requiring repair or replace
ment, (Ref. Stressed Sheet Metal Panels,
Non-Stressed Sheet Metal Panels and
Table 201).
(Ref. Figure 202) The fuselage of the 600N
helicopter is a stretched version of the 500N
Series helicopter with numerous upgrades and
improvements. (shaded areas indicate new
sections to fuselage) The longer cabin area of
the 600N greatly increases passenger and/or
cargo carrying capacity. Upper deck area
fairings and covers were added or modified to
accommodate control surfaces or air inlet
passages.
The tailboom on the 600N helicopter is
essentially the same as the 500N Series, only
longer. The vertical stabilizers or endplates are
longer than on the 500N model, providing an
increased control surface area.
An extended passenger step alongside the
passenger/cargo compartment allows for easy
entrance and exit through either mid or aft
cabin doors.
2. Stressed Sheet Metal Panels
Stressed sheet metal panels consist primarily
of helicopter fuselage skins and bulkhead

webs. The most-highly-stressed skin sections


are those that form the cylindrically-tapered
tailboom assembly (Ref. Sec. 53-40).

NOTE: No damage can be considered negligi


ble. All damage shall be repaired upon de
tection.
3. Stressed Sheet Metal Panel Inspection
Cracks, tears or punctures in stressed sheet
metal panels that do not exceed 0.20 inch (5.08
mm) diameter and can be removed by drilling
out with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) or smaller
diameter drill do not require structural
doublers. If cracks, tears or punctures exceed
0.20 inch (5.08 mm) diameter, they are to be
repaired or the panel must be replaced per
instructions in FAA AC 43.13-1B and FAA AC
43.13-2B Inspection and Repair for Standard
Sheet Metal Repair and Alterations and
Structural Repair Manual.
4. NonStressed Sheet Metal Panels
Non-stressed sheet metal members consist
primarily of hinged covers and doors, except
fuel cell access and controls access doors,
which are stressed (Ref. Stressed Sheet Metal
Panels).
5. Negligible Damage Inspection
(Ref. Table 201) Panels damaged in excess of
negligible damage limits (Ref. Table 201)
should be repaired, or damaged panel should
be replaced per instructions in FAA AC
43.13-1A & 2A and CSP-SRM-6 (Structural
Repair Manual).

WINDSHIELDS AND AFT SECTION WINDOWS


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Windshields
Center and lower windshield panels are
clearest acrylic (Ref. Figure 201 and
Figure 202). Upper windshield panels are
smoke-grey-tinted cast acrylic. The center
windshield panels are approximately 0.100
inch (2.540 mm) thick.
2. Aft Section Windows
For repair of plastics, Ref. FAA AC 43.13-1B.
Replace aft section window if it is damaged
beyond practical repair, according to applicable
instructions in Structural Repair Manual.
(Ref. Figure 204) On the 600N helicopter the
Aft Section Windows refer to the upper mid
section windows located above the mid
passenger/cargo doors. On the 500 Series
helicopters this area was referred to as the
Aft Section.
3. Aft Section Windows Replacement

1. Engine/AntiTorque Air Inlet Fan Fairings
When working near or around
engine air and cooling inlets,
use care to prevent entry of foreign objects.

CAUTION

(Ref. Figure 201) On the 500N, the engine air


inlet fairing on top of the fuselage structure
directs ambient outside air to the engine air
inlet and the oil cooler blower. The fairing
installation consists of a forward fairing
section and an aft fairing section. Right and
left halves of forward fairing are removable.
(Ref. Figure 202) On the 600N, the engine air
inlet fairing on top of the fuselage structure
directs ambient outside air to the engine air
inlet bypass door and the oil cooler blower. The
fairing installation consists of a forward inlet
fairing sections and an aft fairing section. The
controls cover and right and left halves of
forward fairing are removable.
On the 600N, the engine inlet or particle
separator is mounted aft of the inlet fairings
and wraps around the engine plenum for
increased air flow due to the larger engine
installation.
The aft section consists of an air inlet screen
on top of the fuselage structure which directs
ambient air to the anti-torque fan assembly.
The engine plenum access cover bolted to the
fuselage and is removable to provide access to
the engine plenum, particle separator and mist
eliminator (optional equipment) if installed.
The engine plenum access cover on the 600N
helicopter mounts to the aft end of the particle
separator/bypass door frame. The plenum
cover directs air downward for the engine air
intake and when removed provides access to

the engine plenum chamber area. With the


installation of a particle separator, ejector
outlets are positioned on each side of the
plenum cover.
On the 500N, the R/H side of the aft fairing is
the inlet bypass door which remains on the
fuselage when the aft fairing is removed.
On the 600N, the inlet bypass door is just aft
of the mast assembly and just forward of the
engine plenum access cover.
A removable fan hub and transmission gear
box fairing is also located in the fan plenum
chamber.
For general maintenance practices for the
upper aft section (Ref. Sec. 53-30-00).
2. Engine Air and Fan Inlet (Plenum
Chamber Area) Inspection
(Ref. Figure 201 and Figure 202)
Avoid FOD, Cover compressor
inlet prior to working in plenum
chamber area. Vacuum all FOD debris out of
the plenum chamber before removing the
protective cover from the inlet bell. Severe
damage to the engine may result from entry
of foreign objects.

CAUTION

(1). Open the plenum chamber bypass door


by pulling the handle located in the
cockpit. Open the engine access doors to
inspect the rear side of the plenum
panels.
(2). For access, remove the fan air inlet
screen and engine plenum fairing
assemblies.
(3). Inspect all panels for evidence of
corrosion, punctures and security of
rivets and fasteners.
(4). Inspect the engine air inlet bypass door
attaching hardware and installation
(Ref. Sec. 71-10-10, Engine Air Intake
System).
(5). Inspect engine air shield mounting for
secure attachment.

Tailboom (500/600N)

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CSP-HMI-2

TAILBOOM (500/600N)
MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Tailboom Description
(Ref. Figure 201) The tailboom assembly is a
fully monocoque construction of graphite
composites, it provides directional control for
the helicopter.
The tailboom for the Model 600N helicopter is
a similar version to that on the Model 500N
helicopter. One of the obvious differences is the
length, approximately 28 inches (71.12 cm)
longer on the 600N. Also, two of the four
mounting bolts that hold the boom to the
fuselage are a larger diameter. These two
points have been reinforced both on the boom
and on the fuselage for added strength.
(1). The tailboom converts energy from the
main rotor downwash to an anti-torque
force. In order to accomplish this, a
variable pitch fan pushes low pressure
air through two longitudinal slots on
the right side of the tailboom and two
thrusters ports at the end of the
tailboom. These slots located at 130
and 76 degrees, direct low pressure air
downward over the tailboom surface.
(2). Slot air flow mixes with main rotor
downwash air, delaying its separation
at the bottom of the tailboom and
effectively creating a lifting force.
(3). Air from the main rotor passing over
the boom provides directional control to
neutralize the main rotor torque.
(4). Approximately 60% of the anti-torque
force required in a hover, is provided by
the tailboom lift, the remaining 40% is
by metered air flowing out the end of
the tailboom rotating thruster cone.
(5). A stationary thruster cone port directs
air flow to the left or to the right.
(6). The rotating thruster cone (a canshaped structure) meters exit air for
left or right directional control.
(7). Pedal movement opens and closes the
thruster cone ports and changes fan
blade pitch angle for engine power
changes.

(8). A Strake, a composite strip bonded to


the left side of the tailboom, breaks up
airflow on the left side of the boom for
hovering stability.
(9). A Stator located directly behind the fan
and mounted inside the tailboom
straightens low pressure air flowing
through the boom. The stator has
eleven composite removable blades, and
is accessible by removing the tailboom.
(10). A tail skid mounted bottom aft on the
tailboom is constructed of aluminum
tubing.
(11). A jack pad is located on the tailboom
underside. The jackpad can be accessed
by removing the tail skid.
(12). The tailboom provides for the mounting
of the horizontal stabilizer and a control
cable conduit for the flight controls.
2. Tailboom Replacement
(Ref. Figure 201)

NOTE: When removing tailboom as an assem


bly with the horizontal and vertical stabiliz
ers installed, precaution should be taken to
adequately support and balance the tail
boom assembly equally due to the mass of
the stabilizers.
A. Tailboom Removal
(1). Remove tailboom fairing.
(2). Disconnect the forward end of the
anti-torque control cable by turning
outside collar sleeve counter-clockwise
and back to expose the inner cable.
Apply sufficient right pedal to expose
engagement pin and pull collar sleeve
outward.
(3). Disconnect electrical connector.
(4). Have assistants support tailboom.
(5). Remove four mounting bolts and
washers and remove tailboom. Inspect
bolts for corrosion.

nage) stabilize the helicopter and maintain it
in a relatively level attitude during high speed
forward flight. The tail surfaces consist of a
vertical and horizontal stabilizer attached to
the aft end of the tailboom.
The horizontal stabilizer mounts atop of the
vertical stabilizer in a T-shaped arrangement.
Tip plates are attached to ends of the horizon
tal stabilizer with a steel tip weight between
each tip plate and the stabilizer. The horizon
tal stabilizer is constructed of aluminum alloy
skins riveted to formed ribs and spars.
The vertical stabilizer is constructed of
aluminum alloy skins bonded to formed spars.
The vertical stabilizer includes fittings,
honeycomb core, and non-structural leading
and trailing edges. The tip plates are con
structed of aluminum alloy skins bonded over
a honeycomb core. The vertical stabilizer is
mounted aft right of the tail boom and is
bolted to the gearbox and stabilizer mount
frame and a upper and lower mount fitting.
The vertical stabilizer fitting supports the
horizontal stabilizer. The lower end of the
vertical stabilizer incorporates a tail skid
assembly.
Lighting provisions are provided on both
vertical and horizontal stabilizers. (Ref. Sec.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Stabilizers Description
The tail surfaces consist of two verticals and a
horizontal stabilizer. The tail surfaces (empen
nage) stabilize the helicopter and maintain it
in a relatively contain level attitude and
heading during autorotation and forward
flight.
A. Horizontal Stabilizer Description
The horizontal stabilizer is constructed of
laminated fiber glass composite ribs and skin,
bonded to a formed graphite composite spar.
The horizontal stabilizer includes a non-struc
tural leading and trailing edges. hollow core
spar, sparbox fittings, access panels, torque
tubes, bellcranks and control rods.
On the 500N and optional on the 600N, a
stability augmentation system (S.A.S.) is
attached to the right-hand vertical stabilizer,
the early 600N does not have a S.A.S system.
The horizontal stabilizer mounts atop the
tailboom. Four eye bolts from the horizontal
attach to clevis attachment points on the
tailboom. Access plates are attached to the
ends caps of the horizontal stabilizer and at
center line for access to the control rods, S.A.S.
and bellcranks. Two control rods, S.A.S. and
bellcranks are routed in the center aft of the
sparbox. The angle of incidence of the horizon
tal stabilizer is preset at -2. An anti-collision
light is mounted in the top center of the
stabilizer. Position lighting provisions are
provided on both ends of the stabilizers.
On the 600N without S.A.S., gurney flaps were
added to the trailing edge of the horizontal for
the purpose of increasing lift without increas
ing the stabilizer area or weight.
Refer to Section 96-40-00 for information on
exterior lights and Section 67-20-30 for
rigging requirements.
B. Vertical Stabilizers Description
The vertical stabilizers (upper and lower) are
constructed of laminated fiber glass composite
ribs and skin, bonded to a formed fiberglass
composite spar. The vertical stabilizers include

a hollow core spar, retainer fittings and


nonstructural leading and trailing edges.
The differences on the 600N are that the
vertical stabilizers are slightly longer, the skin
is thicker and on standard 600N helicopters,
are both controlled by the directional control
pedals. The lower vertical stabilizer angle of
attack is eight degrees clockwise relative to the
upper vertical stabilizer. Refer to Section
67-20-30 for flight controls linkage details.
The left vertical stabilizer is mounted to the
horizontal on a torque tube fitting assembly
and has approximately 6.5 inches (16.51 cm) of
travel.
On the 500N and S.A.S. equipped 600N, the
right vertical stabilizer, also mounted on a
torque tube, is controlled by the stability
augmentation system. From the fully extended
to the fully retracted position on the S.A.S.
actuator, the tip of the right vertical stabilizer
trailing edge will travel a minimum of 2.70
inches (6.86 cm). The amount of travel is
determine by the S.A.S. computer and gyro.

NOTE: The anti-torque control system must be


re-rigged immediately after removal or re
placement of control rods, linkages, and
components or if helicopter operation re
veals a rigging deficiency.

MAIN ROTOR
FAULT ISOLATION
1. Main Rotor System General Information

NOTE: Auto-Rotation RPM charts are found in


Chapter 18.
The main rotor located over the helicopter
center-of-gravity provides lift, lateral and
longitudinal control. The fundamental
components of the rotor are five or six remov
able blades, pitch housings and a hub. Each
articulated blade is controlled through a pitch
housing and link arrangement which transfers
flight control inputs into the rotor blades.
Rotor blades, pitch housings and links are
secured to the hub by five sets of laminated
steel straps. The collective, stick working
through linkages, increases or decreases rotor
blade angle affecting helicopter ascent and
descent (collective pitch). Helicopter pitch and
roll angles are controlled by the cyclic stick.
Mixed collective and cyclic control inputs are
simultaneously transferred into the main rotor
for coordinated flight control. The four main
equipment groups of the main rotor and
control system are the rotor blades, hub, upper
exterior controls, and cyclic and collective
controls in the pilot's compartment.

NOTE: Unless specifically indicated in the text


and illustrations, information applies to all
model helicopters. Where information is
limited to a specific model helicopter or con
figuration, the text or effectivity block will
indicate.
2. Main Rotor System Troubleshooting
Sudden onset of excessive

WARNING and/or unusual main rotor


vibration should be investigated imme
diately as to the cause, prior to contin
ued flight. Under no circumstance
should main rotor tracking be at
tempted to correct the problem until a
thorough inspection of the main rotor
blades, hub assembly and strap pack
assembly has been performed.
(1). First determine which major installa
tion is defective.
(2). Isolate each linkage installation from
others until area of malfunction is
located.

(1). Main rotor blades


(Ref. Sec. 62-10-00).

(3). Investigate and determine exact


location of malfunction.

(2). Main rotor hub


(Ref. Sec. 62-20-00 and 62-20-60).

(4). Repair or replace defective components.

(3). Main rotor swashplate and mixer


(Ref. Sec. 62-30-00 and 62-30-60).
(4). Main rotor flight controls
(Ref. Chap. 67).

NOTE: First indications of trouble are usually


felt through cyclic or collective controls. Iso
lation procedures (Ref. Table 101, Sec.
67-10) indicate symptoms detected through
these controls.

MAIN ROTOR BLADE


REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
1. Main Rotor Blade General
Each of the main rotor blades are a balanced
airfoil consisting primarily of a wraparound,
aluminum alloy skin bonded to an extruded
aluminum alloy spar, an upper root fitting and
a lower root fitting (Ref. Figure 401). Two
pre-set balance weights are installed in the tip
end of each blade. A removable forward tip
cap, at the outboard end of each blade, is
replaced with a tracking cap when tracking.
Blade trailing edge tab may be bent up or
down to compensate for differences in diving or
climbing characteristics between individual
blades during forward flight.
A. Main Rotor Blade Leading Edge Erosion
Protection General
Rotor blades produced since 1980 have an 18
inch or 36 inch leading edge abrasion strip to
reduce wear. Earlier model blades without the
abrasion strip that are used in a highly
abrasive environment should have outer 24
inches of each blade (PN 369D21100-503 or
-507, Ref. Figure 804) or outer 18 inches of
each blade (PN 369D21100-505 or -509, Ref.
Figure 805) leading edge covered equally by
protective tape so blade life is not reduced by
excessive erosion.
2. Main Rotor Blade Replacement
A. Main Rotor Blade Removal
(Ref. Figure 401)
(1). Relieve load on blade attachment points
by supporting main rotor blade from
below.
(2). Identify blade attaching hardware and
pins for location (grease pencil, tape,
etc). Detach damper clevis from blade.
Remove two blade fitting attaching
pins.
(3). If rotor system is not already color
coded, use masking tape and/or grease
pencil, to mark each blade and its
respective pitch housing links so that

blades can be reinstalled in same


relative positions.
(4). Slide blade from lead-lag links.
B. Main Rotor Blade Installation
(Ref. Figure 401)
(1). Position main rotor blade in its
(marked) pitch housing links. Install
blade attaching pins.
If new blade is to be installed, or
if blades are not reinstalled in
same positions from which removed or are
installed on new rotor hub, blade attach
pins must be adjusted. It is also necessary to
track blades.

CAUTION

(2). Align damper clevis on fitting of main


rotor blade; install damper attach bolt
to attach clevis to blade.
(3). Remove blade-to-pitch housing link
match-markings.
3. Main Rotor Blade and Damper Attach Pin
Installation and Adjustment
Whenever new attach pin is in
stalled, main rotor blade is re
placed, or rotor hub assembly is replaced,
adjustment is required to ensure that pins
properly fit in mating holes.

CAUTION

(1). Check main rotor blade and damper


arm attach pins for cracks, wear and
corrosion.
(2). Support blade tip to establish align
ment of holes in blade root fittings and
pitch housing lead-lag links; install
pin.

NOTE: After final adjustment of main rotor


blade and damper attach pins, thread pro
trusion from adjuster nut of 1/2 to 1 thread
is acceptable if adjuster nut run-on torque
is a minimum of 4 inch-pounds (0.45
Nm) and attach pin safety latch is securely
latched over adjuster nut.
(3). Adjust pin for correct fit by rotating
small hex nut at end of pin until 25 -

35 pounds force (111.2 - 155.68 N) is


required to snap safety latch into place
over nut.
NOTE: After adjustment, measure installed
length of pins from face of thrust washer to
outer edge of last bushing, dimension
should be 0.99-1.04 inch (2.515-2.642 cm)
for damper pins and 2.84-2.89 inches
(7.214-7.341 cm) for main rotor blade pins.

and aft balance weights (Ref.


Figure 401) for security. Weights are
normally recessed 0.050 inch (1.270
mm) inside end surface of tip. Security
of weights may be checked by using
torque wrench with screwdriver socket
in slot of weight to detect if weight can
be rotated by less than 20 inchpounds (2.26 Nm). If torque wrench is
not available, check weight security by
fitting small coin in weight slots and
applying maximum force that can be
exerted by only index finger and thumb.
If weights are found to be loose,
retighten (Ref. Loose Balance Weight
Repair).

(7). Inspect all bonded areas for evidence of


separation. If there appears to be
separation of trailing edge bond, lightly
probe joint with a 0.001-0.002 inch
(0.025-0.051 mm) plastic inspection
tool. If plastic inspection tool can be
inserted to a depth of 1/2 inch (12.70
mm) or more, either above or below V
insert, separation is excessive.

NOTE: Trailing edge structural bond line to V


insert starts 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) in (chord
wise) from trailing edge joint: therefore
above tolerance allows 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
separation. Be sure measurement is taken
from trailing edge joint, not tab trailing
edge. Maximum trailing edge joint gap al
lowed during fabrication is 0.080 inch (2.032
mm).
(8). Inspect doubler shown in AREA G
(Ref. Figure 602) for bonding voids
between doubler and blade skin top and
bottom. Use a heavy coin and lightly
tap doubler surface. A void is detected
by a distinct change in sound. Note that
tapping sounds differ slightly due to
blade structure in leading and trailing
edge, internal channel and doubler
areas. Allowable voids or debonds on
main rotor blade ribs are as follows:
(a). 50% void or debond.
(b). Maximum four (4) ribs, no more than
two (2) adjacent for the 369D21100
and 369D21102 blades.
(9). Ensure that vent holes are open (Ref.
Figure 401).
(10). Inspect fasteners that secure upper and
lower root fittings, and six rivets that
secure skin to spar near tip, for securi
ty. Inspect forward tip cap screw insert
for security and thread damage. Inspect
trailing edge upper and lower weights
for debonding and loose rivets.

(5). Inspect lead-lag link blade attach pin


hole bushings for any indication of
movement of the bushings in the links.
If any of the bushings have movement,
replace the links.
If required, apply a light but
thorough coat of sealer (CM420)
or primer (CM318) around bushings. Note
that excessive amounts of sealant or primer
around the bushings are not desirable and
can unbalance the main rotor system.

CAUTION

(6). If sealing compound is not already


installed or becomes loose, clean and
then seal all junctions between all the
steel bushings and the main rotor blade
root fitting attach lugs with a film of
sealing compound or zinc-chromate
primer without removing the bushings.
(7). For the main rotor blade root fitting
attach lugs, carefully remove sufficient
amount of sealant and paint from only
the bushing in the area where the
slippage mark is to be applied (if not
already done). Using isopropyl alcohol
(CM217), clean the area where the
slippage mark is going to be applied to
allow adequate adherence of epoxy
paint.

NOTE:
D Locate slippage mark in a position that
can be viewed at subsequent inspections
with main rotor blade installed in the
hub. Slippage marks should not be ap
plied to cross-hatched areas to preclude
masking possible cracks.
D Insure that slippage mark is applied to
bushing at upper and lower root fitting in
side surfaces.
D Do not use torque seal.

blade, lift blade off the droop stop.
(2). Inspect the bottom-side of the blade as
follows:
(a). Using a bright light and 10x magni
fying glass, inspect for chordwise
cracks protruding from under root
fitting and doubler (View C and Note
7).
(b). Inspect the area around the root
fitting, doubler and skin for cracks.

(b). Voids exceeding 1.5 square inch


(9.677 square cm) are unacceptable.

(c). Inspect the attach lugs at the bush


ings for cracks.

(c). Voids cannot be closer than one inch


(2.54 cm) to any other void.

(d). Inspect the entire length of the blade


for cracks.

(2). Number of acceptable voids depends


upon length of abrasion strip.
(a). There cannot be more than three
voids on either the top or bottom of
the 36 inch (91.44 cm) long abrasion
strip surface.
(b). There cannot be more than two voids
on either the top or bottom of the 18
inch (45.72 cm) long abrasion strip
surface.
(3). Record all voids in regards to size and
location in the helicopter log book and
check each void prior to each flight for
growth and acceptable criteria.

12. Main Rotor Blade Protective Tape
Installation
In an effort to reduce the amount of erosion in
the area inboard of the abrasion strip, MDHS
has approved the installation of stainless steel
or Mylar tape to the blade leading edge.
Installation of the tape is optional.
The approved 3M Mylar tape, P/N 8671-1, is
one inch (2.54 cm) wide and the 304 stainless
steel tape, P/N 87-369D21104, is 0.027 inch
(0.6858 mm) thick and two inch (5.08 cm)
wide.
The length of the tape can vary, up to 8.0
inches (20.32 cm) in length, but must be equal
on all blades.
It is recommended to start with 2.5 inch (6.35
cm) length and increase the length as erosion
occurs by replacing the tape.

NOTE:
D This installation is only approved on
main rotor blades equipped with the 36
inch (91.44 cm) abrasion strips.
D For installation of the Mylar tape, refer to
manufacturer's instructions. Use of aero
sol primer Promoter 86 may be used to
speed cure time of the tapes adhesive.
Mylar tape comes in rolls one inch (2.54
cm) wide by 36 yards (329184 m) in length
and the promoter comes in 36 ounce
(1.065 L) cans. Mylar tape can be pur
chased from RS Hughes Company
(1-800-453-8116).

MAIN ROTOR HUB


REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
1. Main Rotor Hub General
The main rotor hub consists of a central hub,
five identical pitch housings spaced 72 degrees
apart horizontally around the hub with
associated mechanisms and linkages.
Lead-lag links, a lead-lag damper, a droop
stop striker strip and spacer, and a pitch
control bearing with each pitch housing
produce the pivoting axis, blade flapping stop
contact surfaces and lead-lag hinge function
for the rotor blades.

(3). Remove lockwire and disconnect


flexible boot from lower end of hub
liner.
(4). Disconnect each pitch control rod from
pitch housing.
(5). Disconnect scissors crank from main
rotor hub or scissors link.

NOTE: To facilitate assembly, color code each


pitch control rod to match pitch housing to
which it is attached.

Five laminated retention strap assemblies that


are flexible both vertically and torsionally
extend through the pitch housings and connect
to the lead-lag links.

(6). Remove two screws securing retainer to


main rotor hub nut.

A lower shoe, attached to the central hub,


contains a droop stop ring and droop restrain
ers that support the blades at rest and
distribute droop loads at low blade rpm.

(8). Using main rotor mast nut wrench


(ST701), remove nut from mast.

The following instructions provide field


maintenance and repair procedures for the
main rotor hub.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Main rotor hub is a highly


stressed component. Use ex
treme care to prevent it from striking any
object. Any impact damage may require re
placement of hub.

CAUTION

NOTE:
D Removal of recessed spacer, upper bear
ing cone, upper seal and seal retainer is
not mandatory for installation of the
main rotor hub. If these items are in
stalled, perform steps (1). thru (4). and
(11). thru (22). Caution should be used
when installing hub to prevent damage to
these parts.
D If recessed spacer, upper bearing cone,
upper seal and seal retainer have been re
moved, these parts should not be as
sembled in hub before installation of hub
on helicopter. These items are reas
sembled in hub after seating hub on mast.
Prior to installing main rotor hub, insure
that all bearings are adequately serviced
with grease (CM111).
D Replacement main rotor hubs do not come
balanced from MDHS. If installing a re
placement hub, perform a main rotor hub
balance (Ref. Sec. 18-10-00, Main Rotor
Hub Balance Procedure).
(1). Attach hoisting adapter (ST201) to
eyebolts in main rotor hub and connect
suitable hoist.
If hub assembly (with sleeve
bushing, spacer, upper bearing
and seal retainer installed) does not seat
properly onto mast, do not attempt to force it
into position. Remove hub assembly from
mast and determine cause of hub not seat
ing, correct the problem and follow the pro
cedures for reinstallation.

CAUTION

(2). Check that rotor mast is clean. Hoist


main rotor hub and position over mast;
then lower hub onto mast.

NOTE: To inhibit mast corrosion when operat


ing in salt water environment, lightly coat
bearing journals of mast with grease
(CM115).
(3). Remove adapter, hoist and eyebolts.
(4). Check that hub is fully seated on mast.

(5). Hand-pack hub cavity, between sleeve


bushing and hub, with grease (CM111).
(6). Place recessed spacer, recess down, on
top of sleeve bushing.
(7). Hand-pack upper bearing cup and cone
with grease; then install cone on mast
and use hub drive tool (ST703), to fully
seat cone.
(8). Fill remaining cavity to upper seal with
grease.
(9). Position upper seal in seal retainer
with lip up; then press seal and retain
er in hub counterbore.
(10). Using a soft drift, carefully tap seal
outer ring to seat in counterbore. Wipe
away any excess grease.
(11). Apply grease (CM111) to exposed
threads on mast.
Be sure that seal is properly po
sitioned against seal retainer
and that seal retainer does not pinch seal.
Check by inserting a loop of approximately
0.050 inch (1.27 mm) diameter lockwire,
round feeler gage or other suitable tool with
out sharp edges between seal lip and retain
er.

CAUTION

NOTE: To insure that hub is seated onto mast


properly before torquing, 2 - 4 threads
should be showing above the mast nut with
nut installed finger tight.
(12). Install mast nut, using wrench (ST701);
torque nut to 200 foot-pounds (271
Nm). Apply coat of corrosion preventive
compound (CM204) to screw holes in
mast nut.
(13). Place retainer on nut and check
retainer-to-nut screw hole alignment.
(14). Increase nut torque to not more than
250 foot-pounds (339 Nm) to align
holes in retainer and nut.

NOTE: If holes cannot be aligned in 200 - 250


foot-pound (271 - 339 Nm) torque range,
remove and invert nut and repeat proce
dures in (12). thru (14). to align holes.
(15). Secure retainer to nut with two screws;

Ensure that no washers are


used under screwheads and that
screwheads are free of burrs.

CAUTION

(16). Verify that screwheads do not project


more than 0.020 inch (0.508 mm) above
hub upper surface, for adequate
clearance between screwheads and
driveshaft flange.

Excessive lead-lag load applied


to the main rotor blades during
ground handling can result in damage to the
elastomeric damper buns and failure of the
damper assembly. Operators and mainte
nance personnel should use extra caution to
avoid lead-lag loads in excess of 35 pounds
(155.68 N) at the tip of the main rotor
blades.

CAUTION

NOTE:
(17). Connect scissors crank to main rotor
hub lower shoe and/or to scissors link.

NOTE: Ensure pitch control rods are installed


at same locations from which removed.
(18). Install five pitch control rods to pitch
housings (Ref. Sec. 62-30-00, Pitch
Control Rod Replacement).
(19). Connect flexible boot to lower end of
rotor hub liner and secure with lock
wire (CM702).
(20). Install main rotor drive shaft (Ref. Sec.
63-10-00).
(21). Install five main rotor blades.
(22). Perform main rotor blade droop angle
check if hub is new or replacement.
(23). Perform main rotor hub balance (Ref.
Sec. 18-10-00, Main Rotor Hub
Balance Procedure) if a new or rebuilt
hub is installed.
3. Main Rotor Damper
(Ref. Figure 603) A main rotor damper is
attached to each pitch housing of the rotor
hub. The damper is connected to the inboard
trailing edge of the associated main rotor blade
by an adjustable clevis to prevent lateral
vibrations from occurring in main rotor blades.
Neither damper travel nor stiffness is adjust
able on the helicopter. Phasing of rotor blades
is affected by turnbuckle adjustment. Any
phasing problem caused by a defective damper
should be corrected by replacing damper.

MAIN ROTOR HUB


INSPECTION/CHECK
1. Main Rotor Hub Balancing General
(Ref. Sec. 18-20) Main rotor hub balancing is
accomplished by adding or removing weight
(flat washers) as required at the lead-lag
bolts. Analysis of main rotor hub balance is
accomplished using instrumentation that
measures and localizes vibrations due to main
rotor hub imbalance. Data provided by the
instrumentation is plotted on a chart designed
to indicate how much weight must be added or
removed from the lead-lag bolt. No other
means of balancing is to be used.
2. Main Rotor Blade Phasing Check and/or
Adjustment
Main rotor blade phasing (alignment) is
necessary at damper installation or replace
ment, and may be necessary if there is ground
rocking, or if one-to-one lateral (main rotor)
vibration occurs during flight (Ref. Main Rotor
Damper Nominal Adjustment).

Rust inhibitor spray

(1). Inspect pitch housing for scratches,


nicks and cracks. No cracks are permis
sible. Scratches and nicks must be
cleaned up before measuring depth of
damage to determine housing service
ability.
(2). Inspect sleeve bushing for snug fit in
pitch housing arm clevis lug (Ref.
Figure 805); lug must not show evi
dence of wear caused by bushing
movement. Maximum allowable
diameter for hole in bushed lug is
0.5004 inch (12.71016 mm); for un
bushed lug, not more than 0.3135 inch
(7.9629 mm). Inspect inner surfaces of
all pitch housing arm clevis lugs for
chafing caused by misaligned pitch
control rod end bearings. Chafing is in

form of crescent-shaped grooves. If


chafing wear exists, repair or replace.
Chafed area must be cleaned up before
measuring depth of damage to deter
mine housing serviceability.
(3). Inspect droop stop ring for corrosion,
dents and scratches. If defects are
found, repair or replace.

NOTE: To inhibit corrosion, spray droop stop


ring, rollers and pitch bearings with rust in
hibitor (CM232).
(4). Inspect droop stop roller for flat spots,
pit marks and looseness on roller shaft.
(5). Inspect striker plate for dents and pit
marks that exceed 0.030 inch (0.762
mm) depth. Damage exceeding this
limit requires replacement of striker
plate.
(6). Press each pitch housing downward
several times and check for evidence of
binding pitch bearing or droop restrain
er follower. Inspect visible portion of
droop restrainer for cracks and follower
spring for breaks.

NOTE: Do not remove tetrafluoroethylene


(TFE) debris which works out of pitch bear
ing edge. Debris is normal and helps lubri
cate bearing. Removal of debris increases
bearing wear rate.
(7). Use bright light and 5-power magnify
ing glass to inspect all main rotor hub
lead-lag links (Ref. Figure 802) for
discoloration, pitting, intergranular
cracks or stress corrosion cracks. Any
discoloration or pitting is evidence of
more than superficial corrosion and
main rotor hub must be removed for
replacement of lead-lag links.

NOTE: Normal or premature overhaul requires


visual inspection plus dye-penetrant in
spection of links for same conditions.
(8). Inspection lead-lag link stop for broken
spring, cracks, breaks or visible bond
line cracks.

should be tagged or color-coded to ensure
correct reinstallation.
5. Main Rotor Strap Pack Lamination
Inspection

CAUTION
D Figure 601 and Figure 602 depict the
main rotor hub and strap pack assembly
disassembled for clarity of location and
area to be inspected for cracks. Under no
circumstances should the strap pack or
main rotor hub assembly ever be disas
sembled in the field. MDHI and MDHI
Approved Licensees are the only ap
proved repair stations for main rotor hub
assembly overhaul.
D If a hub assembly or strap pack assembly
(other than new parts in storage) are sub
jected to extended periods of non-use,
whether installed on the helicopter or not,
the strap assembly should be inspected
critically for corrosion and pitting before
return to service. If corrosion is found on
the strap pack assemblies, contact MDHI
for disposition.
D It is acceptable to operate a helicopter
with a hub assembly having a strap pack
with up to two failed laminates in any one
leg of the strap assembly. When a lami
nate in the strap assembly fails, the re
maining laminates pick up and carry the

62-20-00

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CSP-HMI-2

load. This increased load causes slightly


more elongation in the remaining lami
nates of that leg thus shifting the mass of
the rotor system. Any time a vibration de
velops or there is an increase in vibration
level over a short period of time, the main
rotor strap pack assembly should be in
spected for cracked or failed laminates.

NOTE: Conduct inspection indoors, if possible,


or in a shaded area to eliminate glare of sun
or bright outdoor light. To facilitate inspec
tion, field fabricate and use plastic inspec
tion tool and wooden probe (Ref Figure 602).
(1). Remove main rotor blades.
(2). If required, trim teflon from edges of
laminates using a aluminum chisel.
Fabricate from stock 0.250 x 6.00 x
0.100 inch (6.35 x 152.4 x 2.54 mm).
Carefully scrape excess interlaminate
teflon sheets from both sides of strap
pack between top and bottom shoes at
outboard attachment bolt of all five
strap packs.

NOTE:

areas of the outboard shoes and pitch


housing assemblies.
(5). Using a 10X magnifying glass, visually
inspect the edge of strap pack lami
nates on both sides at outboard end of
blade pitch housing (area between
outboard shoes).
(6). Use the following as acceptance/rejec
tion criteria for laminate inspection:
(a). A laminate has failed if cracked in
tongue area or in lead and lag legs of
the same laminate.
(b). Reject strap pack and return hub
for overhaul when:
1). Three or more laminates in a
single strap pack have failed.
2). Three or more laminates in a
single strap pack are cracked in
the same lead or lag leg.
3). One laminate is cracked at the
outboard end in the area between
outboard shoes (Ref. Figure 602).

D Do not pry at strap pack assemblies with


sharp or hard edged tools. If edges become
nicked or laminates get scratched, addi
tional cracking can occur thus causing
hub replacement.

4). There are two or more gaps in the


same strap pack. A single gap in
any one strap pack assembly is
allowed.

D Where accessible, ends of acceptable


cracked or broken laminates should be
taped to prevent scratching and damag
ing of adjacent laminates.

(7). Visually inspect strap pack assemblies


for evidence of corrosion. If corrosion is
found on strap pack laminates contact
MDHI service department for disposi
tion.

(3). (Ref. Figure 602) Field fabricate plastic


tool. Run plastic inspection tool in both
directions along each laminate, feeling
for a catch from a crack on a single
laminate. Use the wooden or phenolic
probe and probe at upper and lower end
of pack. Failed laminate in lead or lag
will move away from the other lami
nates.

(8). Using a blunt-nosed wooden or pheno


lic pin, pencil size with 1/16 inch
(1.5875 mm) radius point, probe at the
upper and lower strap laminations at
the outboard ends of the blade pitch
housings for evidence of laminate
failure. A failed laminate, either at the
lead or lag end of the strap pack, will
move away from the other laminates. If
the adjacent upper and lower laminates
remain in tension under the probing
operation, no laminate failures have
occurred. Refer to Step (5). Caution for
gap limitations.

(4). Using a light and mirror, visually


inspect each of the main rotor strap
pack assemblies for evidence of cracks
or breaks in strap pack laminates in the

NOTES:
(1) Conduct visual inspections indoors or in shaded area to eliminate glare of sun or bright outdoor light.
(2) Removal of teflon covering is required for visual inspection of laminate edges. Use aluminum chisel,
fabricated from stock 0.025 x 6.00 x 0.100 inch (0.635 x 152.4 x 25.4 mm) to carefully scrape excess
interlaminate teflon sheets from both sides of strap pack between top and bottom shoes at outboard
attachment bolt of all five strap packs. Remove excess teflon from a point 1/2 inch (12.70 mm) outboard of
bolt centerline to 11/2 inches (38.1 mm) inboard of bolt centerline. Field fabricate and use plastic tool
(Ref. Figure 602). Run plastic tool in both directions along each laminate feeling for cracked laminate. Use
of plastic tool will ensure that shreds of teflon still hanging free does not obscure small cracks.
(3) Laminate has failed if crack is found in tongue area or if crack is found in both legs (lead and lag).
(4) Pay particular attention to shim installed at upper side of lead leg of each strap pack assembly. Maximum
of two shims may have been installed on top side of lead leg of strap pack to accommodate tolerance
buildup during strap pack assembly. If more than one shim is installed, pay particular attention to lower
shim when checking for cracks or breaks.

nates for cracks and breaks (Ref.
Figure 601).

NOTE: Cracks, breaks or other noticeable dam


age to the laminate/shims require main ro
tor hub overhaul/replacement.
(10). Install main rotor blades.
(11). Perform tracking of main rotor blades
(Ref. Sec. 18-20-00).
The maximum allowable bal
ance weight per pitch case hous
ing on the main rotor hub assembly is 150
grams.

CAUTION

laminates in helicopter Log Book
including strap serial number, blade
color, leg, lead or lag, and laminate
position, if possible numbering from the
top down.
6. Main Rotor Hub Droop Angle Check
(Ref. Figure 805) Whenever new or replacement
main rotor hub is installed or whenever excessive
droop angle is suspected, measure static droop
angle of all five rotor blades. Droop angle must be
5.5 0.5 degrees.

(ST506 or ST507), cyclic longitudinal
rigging fixture (ST504 or ST505), and
collective rigging fixture (ST501 or
ST502).
(2). Rotate main rotor to position one blade
over tailboom.
(3). Raise and support other four blades
until four corresponding droop stop
rollers no longer contact their striker
plates.
(4). Place accurate propeller protractor on
top of main rotor drive shaft. Adjust
protractor to zero setting.
(5). Place protractor on machined surface of
outboard end of blade pitch housing,
alongside lead-lag bolthead. Measure
and record static droop angle.
(6). Repeat (2). thru (5). above for remain
ing blades.
(7). Maximum allowable static droop angle
is six degrees. If measured droop angle
exceeds six degrees, inspect striker
plate and roller for excessive wear and
adjust droop angle (Ref. Main Rotor
Hub Droop Angle Adjustment).
7. Main Rotor Damper and Attachments
Inspection
Excessive lead-lag load applied
to the main rotor blades during
ground handling can result in damage to the
elastomeric damper buns and failure of the
damper assembly. Operators and mainte
nance personnel should use extra caution to
avoid lead-lag loads in excess of 35 pounds
(155.68 N) at the tip of the main rotor
blades.

CAUTION

(1). Inspect bearing in rotor blade and


bearing in the pitch housing for
looseness around outer race. No degree
of radial or axial play is permitted.
(2). Inspect pitch housing and blade
bearings for binding, galling, or scoring
in bore and for wear. No radial play is
permitted. Maximum allowable axial
play is 0.015 inch (0.381 mm).
(3). Inspect clevis bushings for wear and
looseness.

MD Helicopters, Inc.

(4). Inspect damper flange bushing for wear
and play.
(5). Inspect lower bolt hole in damper
flange for wear.
(6). Inspect damper housing (including
flanges) for damage.
(7). Inspect damper turnbuckle, jamnuts
and safetywire for security. No end play
is permitted when manually tested.

NOTE: When performing lead-lag of main ro


tor blades, apply rotor brake (if installed) or
have assistant hold main rotor hub from
moving. A second assistant is recommended
to measure approximate damper extension
and compression.
(8). Lead-lag each main rotor blade in turn
to provide approximately 0.10 inch
(2.54 mm) extension and compression of
the damper elastomer.
(9). Visually check each damper in turn for
cracks in elastomer or in elastomer-tometal bond at end face of damper: If
bonding or elastomer cracks are noted,
measure depths of cracks, using depth
gage fabricated of shim stock or
equivalent having a 0.20 inch (5.08
mm) indication. If depth of crack
exceeds 0.20 inch (5.08 mm), remove
and check damper.

MAIN ROTOR HUB


REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
1. Main Rotor Hub General
(Ref. Figure 402) The main rotor hub consists
of a central hub, six identical pitch housings
spaced 60 degrees apart horizontally around
the hub with associated mechanisms and
linkages. Lead-lag links, a lead-lag damper, a
droop stop striker strip and spacer, and a pitch
control bearing with each pitch housing
produce the pivoting axis, blade flapping stop
contact surfaces and lead-lag hinge function
for the rotor blades. Six laminated retention
strap assemblies that are flexible both
vertically and torsionally extend through the
pitch housings and connect to the lead-lag
links. A lower shoe, attached to the central
hub, contains a droop stop ring and droop
restrainers that support the blades at rest and
distribute droop loads at low blade rpm. The
following instructions provide field mainte
nance and repair procedures for the main rotor
hub.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Main rotor hub is a highly


stressed component. Use ex
treme care to prevent it from striking any
object. Any impact damage may require re
placement of hub.

CAUTION

NOTE:
D Removal of recessed spacer, upper bear
ing cone, upper seal and seal retainer is
not mandatory for installation of the
main rotor hub. If these items are in
stalled, perform steps (1). thru (4). and
(11). thru (22). Caution should be used
when installing hub to prevent damage to
these parts.
D If recessed spacer, upper bearing cone,
upper seal and seal retainer have been re
moved, these parts should not be as
sembled in hub before installation of hub
on helicopter. These items are reas
sembled in hub after seating hub on mast.
Prior to installing main rotor hub, insure
that all bearings are adequately serviced
with grease (CM111).
D Replacement main rotor hubs do not come
balanced from MDHS. If installing a re
placement hub, perform a main rotor sys
tem balance (Ref. Sec. 18-10-60, Main
Rotor System Balance Procedure).
(1). Attach hoisting adapter (ST201) to
eyebolts in main rotor hub and connect
suitable hoist.
If hub assembly (with sleeve
bushing, spacer, upper bearing
and seal retainer installed) does not seat
properly onto mast, do not attempt to force it
into position. Remove hub assembly from
mast and determine cause of hub not seat
ing, correct the problem and follow the pro
cedures for reinstallation.

CAUTION

(2). Check that rotor mast is clean. Hoist


main rotor hub and position over mast;
then lower hub onto mast.

NOTE: To inhibit mast corrosion when operat


ing in salt water environment, lightly coat
bearing journals of mast with grease
(CM115).
(3). Remove adapter, hoist and eyebolts.
(4). Check that hub is fully seated on mast.
Page 402
Revision 20

62-20-60

(5). Hand-pack hub cavity, between sleeve


bushing and hub, with grease (CM111).
(6). Place recessed spacer, recess down, on
top of sleeve bushing.
(7). Hand-pack upper bearing cup and cone
with grease; then install cone on mast
and use hub driver (ST703), to fully
seat cone.
(8). Fill remaining cavity to upper seal with
grease.
(9). Position upper seal in seal retainer
with lip up; then press seal and retain
er in hub counterbore.
(10). Using a soft drift, carefully tap seal
outer ring to seat in counterbore. Wipe
away any excess grease.
(11). Apply grease (CM111) to exposed
threads on mast.
Ensure that seal is properly po
sitioned against seal retainer
and that seal retainer does not pinch seal.
Check by inserting a loop of approximately
0.050 inch (1.27 mm) diameter lockwire,
round feeler gage or other suitable tool with
out sharp edges between seal lip and retain
er.

CAUTION

NOTE: To insure that hub is seated onto mast


properly before torquing, two to four threads
should be showing above the mast nut with
nut installed finger tight.
(12). Install mast nut, using wrench (ST701);
torque nut to 200 foot-pounds (271
Nm). Apply coat of corrosion preventive
compound (CM204) to screw holes in
mast nut.
(13). Place retainer on nut and check
retainer-to-nut screw hole alignment.
(14). Increase nut torque to not more than
250 foot-pounds (339 Nm) to align
holes in retainer and nut.

NOTE: If holes cannot be aligned in 200 - 250


foot-pound (271 - 339 Nm) torque range,
remove and invert nut and repeat proce
dures in (12). thru (14). to align holes.

MAIN ROTOR HUB


INSPECTION/CHECK
1. Main Rotor System Balancing General
Main rotor system balancing is accomplished
by adding or removing weight (flat washers) as
required at the lead-lag bolts. Analysis of
main rotor system balance is accomplished
using instrumentation that measures and
localizes vibrations due to main rotor system
imbalance. Data provided by the instrumenta
tion is plotted on a chart designed to indicate
how much weight must be added or removed
from the lead-lag bolt. No other means of
balancing is to be used. If there is ground
rocking, or if one-per-rev lateral (main rotor)
vibration occurs during flight refer to Sec.
18-10-60, Main Rotor System Balance
Procedure.
2. Main Rotor Hub Inspection

Item

Consumable Materials
(Ref. Section 910000)
Nomenclature

CM104

Lubricant, spray

(1). Inspect pitch housing for scratches,


nicks and cracks. No cracks are permis
sible. Scratches and nicks must be
cleaned up before measuring depth of
damage to determine housing service
ability.
(2). Inspect sleeve bushing (Ref. Figure 805)
for snug fit in pitch housing arm clevis
lug; if bushings are loose, remove and
inspect. Inspect lug for evidence of wear
caused by bushing movement. Maxi
mum allowable diameter for hole in
each lug is 0.4380 inch (11.13 mm).
Inspect inner surfaces of all pitch
housing arm clevis lugs for chafing
caused by misaligned pitch control rod
end bearings. Chafing is in form of
crescent-shaped grooves. If chafing
wear exists, repair or replace. Chafed
area must be cleaned up before measur
ing depth of damage to determine
housing serviceability.

(3). Inspect droop stop ring for corrosion,


dents and scratches. If defects are
found, repair or replace.

NOTE: To inhibit corrosion, spray droop stop


ring, rollers and pitch bearings with spray
lubricant (CM104).
(4). Inspect droop stop roller for flat spots,
pit marks and looseness on roller shaft.
(5). Inspect striker plate for dents and pit
marks that exceed 0.030 inch (0.762
mm) depth. Damage exceeding this
limit requires replacement of striker
plate.
(6). Press each pitch housing downward
several times and check for evidence of
binding pitch bearing or droop restrain
er follower. Inspect visible portion of
droop restrainer for cracks and follower
spring for breaks.

NOTE: Do not remove tetrafluoroethylene


(TFE) debris which works out of pitch bear
ing edge. Debris is normal and helps lubri
cate bearing. Removal of debris increases
bearing wear rate.
(7). Use bright light and 5-power magnify
ing glass to inspect all main rotor hub
lead-lag links (Ref. Figure 805) for
discoloration, pitting, intergranular
cracks or stress corrosion cracks. Any
discoloration or pitting is evidence of
more than superficial corrosion and
main rotor hub must be removed for
replacement of lead-lag links.

NOTE: Normal or premature overhaul requires


visual inspection plus dye-penetrant in
spection of links for same conditions.
(8). Inspect lead-lag link stop for broken
spring, cracks, breaks or visible bond
line cracks.
(9). Inspect interiors of lead-lag bolts using
bright light and 5X glass for cracks or
corrosion per Lead-Lag Bolt Inspection.
(10). Inspect each striker strip for cracks,
deformation and badly worn contact
surfaces.

4. Main Rotor Strap Pack Lamination
Inspection

CAUTION
D Figure 601 and Figure 602 depict the
main rotor hub and strap pack assembly
disassembled for clarity of location and
area to be inspected for cracks. Under no
circumstances should the strap pack or
main rotor hub assembly ever be disas
sembled in the field. MDHI and MDHI
Approved Licensees are the only ap
proved repair stations for main rotor hub
assembly overhaul.
D If a hub assembly or strap pack assembly
(other than new parts in storage) are sub
jected to extended periods of non-use,
whether installed on the helicopter or not,
the strap assembly should be inspected
critically for corrosion and pitting before
return to service. If corrosion is found on
the strap pack assemblies, contact MDHI
for disposition.
D It is acceptable to operate a helicopter
with a hub assembly having a strap pack
with one failed laminate in any one leg of
the strap assembly. When a laminate in
the strap assembly fails, the remaining
laminates pick up and carry the load. This
increased load causes slightly more elon
gation in the remaining laminates of that
leg thus shifting the mass of the rotor sys
tem. Any time a vibration develops or
there is an increase in vibration level over
a short period of time, the main rotor
strap pack assembly should be inspected
for cracked or failed laminates.

NOTE: Conduct inspection indoors, if possible,


or in a shaded area to eliminate glare of sun
or bright outdoor light. To facilitate inspec
tion, field fabricate and use plastic inspec
tion tool and wooden probe (Ref Figure 602).
(1). Remove main rotor blades.

nicked or laminates get scratched, addi
tional cracking can occur thus causing
hub replacement.
D Where accessible, ends of acceptable
cracked or broken laminates should be
taped to prevent scratching and damag
ing of adjacent laminates.
(3). (Ref. Figure 602 for field fabricate
plastic tool) Run plastic inspection tool
in both directions along each laminate,
feeling for a ``catch'' from a crack on a
single laminate. Use the wooden or
phenolic probe and probe at upper and
lower end of pack. Failed laminate in
lead or lag will move away from the
other laminates. If the adjacent upper
and lower laminates remain in tension
under the probing operation, no
laminate failures have occurred.
(4). Using a light and mirror, visually
inspect each of the main rotor strap
pack assemblies for evidence of cracks
or breaks in strap pack laminates in the
areas of the outboard shoes and pitch
housing assemblies.
(5). Using a 10X magnifying glass, visually
inspect the edge of strap pack lami
nates on both sides at outboard end of
blade pitch housing (area between
outboard shoes).

CSP-HMI-2

(6). Use the following as acceptance/rejec


tion criteria for laminate inspection:
(a). A laminate has failed if cracked in
tongue area or in lead and lag legs of
the same laminate.
(b). Reject strap pack and return hub
for overhaul when:
1). Two or more laminates in a single
strap pack have failed.
2). Two or more laminates in a single
strap pack are cracked in the same
lead or lag leg.
3). One laminate is cracked at the
outboard end in the area between
outboard shoes (Ref. Figure 602).
4). There are two or more gaps in the
same strap pack. A single gap in
any one strap pack assembly is
allowed.
(7). Visually inspect strap pack assemblies
for evidence of corrosion. If corrosion is
found on strap pack laminates contact
MDHI service department for disposi
tion.
(8). Inspect upper, lower and center cush
ioning laminates for cracks and breaks
(Ref. Figure 601).

NOTE: Cracks, breaks or other noticeable dam


age to the cushioning laminates require
main rotor hub overhaul/replacement.
(9). Record location of all cracked/broken
laminates in Helicopter Log Book
including strap serial number, blade
color, leg (lead or lag) and laminate
position, if possible, numbering from
the top down.

6. Main Rotor Damper and Attachments
Inspection
Excessive lead-lag load applied
to the main rotor blades during
ground handling can result in damage to the
elastomeric damper buns and failure of the
damper assembly. Operators and mainte
nance personnel should use extra caution to
avoid lead-lag loads in excess of 35 pounds
(155.68 N) at the tip of the main rotor
blades.

CAUTION

(1). Inspect bearing in rotor blade and


bearing in the pitch housing for
looseness around outer race. No degree
of radial or axial play is permitted.
(2). Inspect pitch housing and blade
bearings for binding, galling, or scoring
in bore and for wear. No radial play is
permitted. Maximum allowable axial
play is 0.015 inch (0.381 mm).
(3). Inspect clevis bushings for wear and
looseness.
(4). Inspect damper flange bushing for wear
and play.
(5). Inspect lower bolt hole in damper
flange for wear.
(6). Inspect damper housing (including
flanges) for damage.
(7). Inspect damper turnbuckle, jamnuts
and safetywire for security. No end play
is permitted when manually tested.

NOTE: When performing lead-lag of main ro


tor blades, apply rotor brake (if installed) or
have assistant hold main rotor hub from
moving. A second assistant is recommended
to measure approximate damper extension
and compression.
(8). Lead-lag each main rotor blade in turn
to provide approximately 0.10 inch
(2.54 mm) extension and compression of
the damper elastomer.

scissors to 369D21002-21 configuration to


preclude shimming problems experienced with
the early crank configuration. Field rework
consists primarily of relocating existing
bushings in the crank outboard attach lugs to
the inboard lugs, and installing new flange
type bushings in the outboard lugs. The wall
thickness of the crank outboard attach lugs
must be reduced to accommodate installation
of the flange bushings.
Instructions are also provided for replacement
of existing hardware for the crank assembly.

When removing or installing the
main rotor drive shaft externalwrenching bolts or eyebolts, always hold
bolts stationary while installing or remov
ing nuts. Never turn external-wrenching
bolts or eyebolts while inserting or removing
from drive shaft holes.

CAUTION

A. Main Rotor Drive Shaft Removal


Main rotor drive shaft is a high
ly stressed part. Do not allow
tools to strike shaft, or shaft to strike any
object. Any impact damage may require re
placement of drive shaft.

CAUTION

(1). Remove main rotor fairing.


(2). Remove seven external-wrenching
bolts; and associated hardware. Lift off
main rotor fairing support and remove
seven spacers.
Any time drive shaft is removed,

(2). Position drive shaft alongside transmis
sion input and clutch couplings. If
compression is required to fit shaft
between couplings, continue with step
(3). below. If there is a gap between
drive shaft flanges and coupling
flanges, continue with step (6). below.

NOTE: Removal or addition of shims should be


accomplished at transmission input cou
pling only. Shims at overrunning clutch cou
pling are of predetermined thickness to pre
vent O-ring damage and oil leakage.
(3). Remove coupling bolt that secures
transmission input coupling; remove
coupling and shims.

CAUTION
D The 0.010 inch (0.254 mm) minimum
measurement between the bolt seating
surface and the input shaft must be ob
tained to ensure proper clamp up. Warped

INSPECTION/CHECK
1. Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Inspection
Inspect shaft as described below. Replace bent
shaft. Other damage (scratches, nicks, etc)
that exceeds repairable limits also requires
shaft replacement.
(1). Inspect for scratches in shaft section
that passes through plenum chamber
fairing tube. Such scratches indicate
possible contact with tube edges at
bulkhead openings.
(2). Inspect for evidence of torsional
buckling or shaft bending as result of
blade strike or hard ground contact by
lower stabilizer.
(3). Inspect for corrosion.
(4). Inspect for evidence of shaft damper
sleeve bond failure (sleeve shifting)
from excessive heat or loads.
(5). If there is abnormal shaft vibrations,
check damper friction and shaft

straightness. When rotated between


centers, or with ends plugged and rolled
over roller, runout of large diameter
must not exceed 0.060 inch (1.524 mm)
(allowable dents excluded).
2. Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Twist Inspection
(Ref. Figure 601 and Figure 602) Following
inspection determines if drive shaft has been
torsionally strained to extent that permanent
twist exists.
(1). Hand-turn main rotor until two white
stripes (A, Figure 601) are aligned.
(2). Look inboard from tail rotor side of
helicopter and locate two white stripes
(B, Figure 601). Stripe on input shaft
bearing retainer flange of tail rotor
transmission is located at approximate
ly 2 o'clock, looking aft. Stripe on
coupling should be at approximately 10
o'clock, looking forward. Both stripes
should be aligned.

clearance of 0.020 inch (0.508 mm) at
four equidistant points are to be
replaced.

Page 604
Revision 37

NOTE: Tail rotor drive shaft must be removed

63-15-10

(2). Inspect damper for correct drag friction


adjustment.
(3). Inspect inside diameter of damper for
excessive wear. If diameter is more
than 3.035 inches (7.7089 cm), damper
must be replaced.
(4). Adjust friction damper as necessary to
achieve the required drag as follows:
(a). Fabricate friction-checking tool.
(b). Using 0-10 pound spring scale,
measure force required to move
damper radially on bulkhead. Fric
tion must be adjusted so that pull of
2 0.25 pounds (0.91 0.11 kg) is
required to slide damper between
plate and support bracket.

NOTE: Minimum of one washer must always


remain between each spring and plate.
(c). To increase friction, add thin washers
between springs and plate. To
decrease friction, remove washers.
(Add or remove same number of
washers at each spring.)

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Main Transmission

(7). Drain oil from transmission.

The main transmission is secured to the


underside of the main rotor mast support
structure pan by four structure bolts, washers,
and nuts. The transmission is a two-stage
speed reduction unit. The first reduction stage
is for the tail rotor drive system and accessory
drive trains. The second stage is for further
reducing rpm for the main rotor. The transmis
sion housing is magnesium alloy. The accesso
ry gear train drives a rotor tachometer
generator and the transmission oil pump that
are mounted on drive pads at the aft end of the
transmission. The transmission is cooled by air
drawn through a cooling blower and routed
through the transmission oil cooler. Access to
the main transmission is attained by entrance
into the passenger compartment.

(8). Disconnect tail rotor output shaft seal


drain line, input shaft seal drain line
and two hoses that attach to lubrication
pump.

2. Main Transmission Buildup and

2). All other defects require replace
ment of impeller.
(9). Examine shaft for damage or excessive
wear. Discard seal (Ref. Figure 801).
4. Cooling Blower Belt Tension Check and
Adjustment
(1). Check that laminated shims are in
position between mounting bracket and
transmission fan mount assembly.
Tighten the four mounting bolts. Rotate
pulley by hand a few turns to even out
belt tension.
(2). Measure belt deflection three times at
approximate center of one of the spans.
The force required to deflect the belt
0.170-0.200 inch (4.32-5.08 mm) must
be 1.75-2.00 pounds (0.7938-0.9072

CSP-HMI-2

Kg). This load is to be applied at a right


angle to the outside face of the belt.
Measure belt deflection without turning
driven pulley, then turn driven pulley
1/2 turn and repeat belt deflection
measurement. Turn driven pulley an
additional 1/4 turn and measure belt
deflection again.
(a). If the tension is too high, greater
than 2.00 pounds (0.9072 Kg),
tension can be reduced by peeling off
a layer of the laminated shim, one at
a time equally from both shims, until
tension falls into proper range.
(b). If the tension is too low: Add layers
from a spare shim in the same
manner as removed in step (2).(a).
above, until tension falls into proper
range.
(3). Make a final check of bolt torque:
For 369D25100 transmission installa
tion, 65 - 75 inch-pounds (7.34 - 8.47
Nm), and then lockwire drilled heads.
For 369F5100 transmission installa
tion, 70 - 90 inch-pounds (7.91 10.17 Nm).

When working with hydrau

WARNING lic systems, special care


must be taken to prevent entrance of
dust, moisture or other foreign materi
al. System contamination can cause
malfunctions which could cause injury
to personnel or equipment damage.
1. Rotor Brake
The rotor brake enables the pilot to manually
brake the rotor system to a stop by operating a
single brake handle. The handle is installed on
the upper left (or upper right, depending on
helicopter seating configuration) side of the
canted bulkhead 78.50 control tunnel in the
pilot's compartment. Operation of the brake
handle actuates a master cylinder, causing
dual pucks to grip a brake disc installed on the
tail rotor drive shaft. Braking force is trans
mitted through the main transmission to the
main rotor. A friction clip secures the handle in
an out-of-the-way position when the brake is
not in use.
The rotor brake installation includes:

pressure is produced; this pressure is trans


mitted through the tubing to the caliper
assembly where it acts on the pistons. This
causes the pucks to apply clamping pressure
(braking force) to the brake disc. System
pressure is held within safe limits, regardless
of the force applied to the brake handle, by
operation of the pressure-relief valve. When
hydraulic pressure exceeds 500 psig (3447
kPa), the pressure-relief valve opens, venting
excess pressure back to the master cylinder.
When application of force is discontinued,
caliper pistons (and the pucks) are retracted
by return springs in the caliper assembly.
Puck-to-disc clearance is maintained by
action of a self-adjusting mechanism in the
caliper assembly. The original equipment
tachometer generator is replaced by a new unit
that is included in the rotor brake installation
to provide clearance between the tachometer
generator and the brake disc. The original
equipment electrical connector (P202),
installed on the aft fuselage wiring harness
near the main transmission, is replaced with a
new plug which mates with the receptacle on
the new tachometer generator.

NOTE: Hose material should be resistant to de


terioration from exposure to hydraulic fluid.
A glass container should be used to catch
bleed screw outflow so that bubbles of escap
ing air are clearly visible. The following fill
ing and bleeding procedure is best per
formed by two persons, one to operate the
brake handle, and one to open and close the
bleed screws.
(3). Connect a length of 1/4 inch (6.35 mm)
ID hose on reducer and insert free end
of hose in a container to catch any
hydraulic fluid that may be bypassed by
the relief valve. Connect a second
length of 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) ID hose on
one bleed screw on caliper assembly
and submerge free end of hose in clean
hydraulic fluid (CM123) in a glass
container.
(4). Remove attaching screws and master
cylinder cap. Fill reservoir with clean
hydraulic fluid (CM123) within 1/8 1/4 inch (3.175-6.35 mm) of top of

attaching screws.

NOTE: Verify that master cylinder reservoir is


kept full of fluid throughout the bleeding
process.
(5). Open one bleed screw and operate
brake handle slowly through a full
down stroke to force hydraulic fluid out
of master cylinder reservoir and into all
other parts of the system. Close bleed
screw and return handle to up
position. Remove cap, refill master
cylinder reservoir, and replace cap.
(6). Repeat step (5). several times to ensure
that entire hydraulic system is filled
with fluid, and that no air remains in
system.

NOTE: The presence of bubbles in the bleed


screw outlet flow indicates air is being
forced out of the system and absence of
bubbles indicates all air has been bled from
the system.

(Ref. Figure 403)
A. Caliper Assembly, Brake Disc, and Drive
Coupling Removal (369D25100
Transmission)
The caliper assembly is bolted to a mounting
bracket which is installed on the main
transmission tail rotor cover. The brake disc is
bolted on the drive coupling which is installed
on the transmission output shaft. For clarity,
the brake disc and drive coupling are consid
ered as a single item (disc/coupling unit).
Although the caliper assembly and the
disc/coupling unit are not mechanically
connected, they are installed on the transmis
sion with the outer portion of the disc posi
tioned between the two halves of the caliper
assembly (Ref. Figure 404). This arrangement
makes it necessary to remove both units
(partially, at least) at the same time. Removal
operations require that the main transmission
be removed from the aircraft with the rotor
brake components installed. Proceed as
follows:
(1). Remove main transmission and
attached rotor brake components from
aircraft (Ref. Sec. 63-20-00/25).
(2). Disconnect tube assembly from caliper
mounted tees. Remove tube assembly
and interconnect tee as a unit.

NOTE:
D It is not necessary to disconnect tube as
semblies from tee except for replacement
of defective and damaged parts.
D New bleed screws are included with the
new caliper assembly.
(3). If caliper assembly is to be replaced by
a new unit, remove two bleed screws
from adapters, remove adapters from
tees, and remove tees from caliper
assembly.

CSP-HMI-2

NOTE: If old caliper assembly is to be rein


stalled, it is not necessary to remove hy
draulic fittings except for replacement of de
fective or damaged parts.
(4). Remove coupling bolt that is used to
secure drive coupling on transmission
output shaft so that disc/coupling unit
is free to slide on shaft splines.
(5). Note and record, for re-assembly
reference, placement of 18 washers
used as spacers between caliper
assembly and mounting bracket, or
under heads of attaching bolts.
The caliper assembly consists of
two identical halves held togeth
er by the attaching bolts. Care should be
used to avoid dropping parts when bolts are
removed.

CAUTION

(6). Hold caliper assembly and unscrew


attaching bolts out of mounting brack
et. Slide disc/coupling unit away from
transmission and remove caliper
assembly and attaching hardware.
(7). If caliper assembly is to be reused and
some time will elapse before re-assemb
ly, remove disc/coupling unit, position
caliper assembly (and assembled parts)
on mounting bracket and screw bolts
into bracket to hold parts until time for
re-assembly.
(8). If disc/coupling unit is to be reinstalled,
and some time will elapse before
re-assembly, slide unit back on trans
mission shaft and install coupling bolt
finger tight to hold parts until time for
re-assembly.
Axial position of the drive

WARNING coupling is critical as it con

trols the mechanical interface between


the coupling and the tail rotor drive

Solvents used to dilute this material, as
well as metal-cleaning or alkali cleans
ers, should only be used with adequate
ventilation. Follow handling precau
tions on the solvent's container label.

NOTE: Couplings should be treated with moly


kote metal protector (CM202) after each
washing with any solvent or detergent.

of transmission output shaft with
grease (CM117) and threads of coupling
bolt with anti-seize compound
(CM112), or equivalent. Start disc/coup
ling unit on shaft.
To ensure optimum brake opera
tion and minimize equipment
damage, caliper-to-disc clearances on both
sides of disc should be equal, or as nearly
equal as possible. Clearance adjustment is
accomplished by varying number of shim
washers, 0.032 inch (0.8128 mm) thick,
placed between the caliper assembly and its
mounting bracket. Nine washers are pro
vided for each attaching bolt; those not used
as shims should be placed under bolt heads.
Washer distribution should be the same for
both bolts.

A. Hydraulic Relief Valve Removal


The hydraulic relief valve is attached by
means of a clamp to the canted bulkhead 78.50
vertical member, and is connected hydraulical
ly between the master cylinder assembly and
the caliper assembly. Remove the relief valve
as follows:
(1). Remove crew compartment hardware
and fittings for access to hydraulic
relief valve assembly.

To ensure optimum brake opera


tion and minimize equipment
damage, caliper-to-disc clearances on both
sides of disc should be equal, or as nearly
equal as possible. Clearance adjustment is
accomplished by varying number of 0.032
inch (0.8128 mm) thick shim washers placed
between the caliper assembly and transmis
sion.

(2). Disconnect tube assembly from reducer


installed in relief valve. Disconnect
tube assembly from relief valve, taking
special care to catch any hydraulic fluid
that drains or drips from tube assem
blies, reducer, or relief valve when the
system is opened. Remove reducer and
O-ring packing from relief valve.
Discard O-ring packing.

(3). Measure brake caliper housing-to-disc


clearances on both sides of disc with a
feeler gage. If clearances are equal
within 0.032 inch (0.8128 mm), torque

1. Rotor Brake Assembly Inspection

Item

Consumable Materials
(Ref. Section 910000)
Nomenclature

CM123

Hydraulic fluid

(1). Visually inspect rotor brake compo


nents for general condition, security of
installation, and evidence of hydraulic
fluid leakage.

NOTE: Excessively low fluid level indicates a


system fault that must be isolated and cor
rected.
(2). Disconnect tube assembly (Ref.
Figure 902) from nipple installed in
master cylinder cap. Move end of tube
assembly carefully aside, remove
attaching screws and cap with gasket,
and check that hydraulic fluid level is
1/8 - 1/4 inch (3.175-6.35 mm) from top
of reservoir. If level is low, add hydrau
lic fluid (CM123). Take special care to
avoid getting contaminants into the
hydraulic system.
(3). Visually inspect gasket for tears, cuts,
or other damage; replace gasket, if
defective. Visually inspect sealing
surfaces of cap and master cylinder
body for nicks, cracks, scratches, or
other defects; repair minor damage or
replace defective parts.
(4). Replace cap and gasket on master
cylinder and secure with attaching
screws. Connect tube assembly to
nipple and tighten tube nut securely.

(5). Verify that clip (Ref. Figure 901) on


handle retainer assembly holds brake
handle securely in the stowed (raised)
position.
(6). Actuate brake handle to check that
components of master cylinder linkage
assembly (Ref. Figure 402) operate
freely without binding or excessive play
at pivot points. Verify that spring force
holds lever in BRAKE OFF position.
(7). Visually inspect friction surfaces of
brake disc (Ref. Figure 403) for exces
sive wear, galling, scoring, cracking,
distortion, or other evidence of damage.
(8). Rotate the drive system and check that
caliper brake pucks are not dragging on
the disc.
(9). Apply sufficient force on brake handle
to actuate master cylinder assembly to
pressurize hydraulic system.

NOTE: System pressurization (brake actua


tion) is indicated by the feel of firm resis
tance to handle movement. A cushioned
(spongy) feel indicates that the system con
tains air which must be removed (bled off)
before proceeding with the inspection.
(10). Maintain force on brake handle and
verify that pistons in caliper assembly
operate to force brake pucks against
friction surfaces of brake disc. Visually
inspect brake pucks for extent of wear
and evidence of damage.
Do not apply a side load to brake
handle as damage to support
bracketry may result.

CAUTION

NOTE: Pucks must be extended to the BRAKE


ON position to permit adequate inspection.
If parting line between piston face and puck
is visible, puck is worn excessively and must
be replaced.
(11). Monitor feel of resistance and increase
force applied to brake handle until
hydraulic relief valve opens.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: When working properly, the hydraulic


relief valve opens and routes pressurized
hydraulic fluid back to the master cylinder
reservoir when system pressure reaches 500
psig (3447 kPa). Valve opening can be de
tected by a momentary decrease of resis
tance to handle movement. If movement is
solidly resisted, regardless of force applied,
the relief valve is defective and must be re
placed.
(12). Maintain steady force (just short of that
required to initiate relief valve opening)
on brake handle and observe handle
movement. Check that actuating lever
spacer and master cylinder stop do not
contact.
Check for installation of master
cylinder stop to prevent over
travel of piston in master cylinder. If stop is
not installed, damage to master cylinder
components may occur.

CAUTION

NOTE: Continued handle movement indicates


the presence of an internal leak condition
which must be located and corrected.
(13). Release force on brake handle and
verify that caliper pistons (and attached
brake pucks) are retracted.

NOTE: Failure of pistons to retract indicates


that caliper assembly is defective and must
be overhauled or replaced.
(14). Reinstall components that were
removed for access to the rotor brake
system.

(15). Raise brake handle to stowed position


and engage it in clip on handle retainer
assembly.
2. Rotor Brake Operational Check
After rotor brake hydraulic system has been
filled with fluid, an operational checkout of the
rotor brake installation must be performed.
(1). Start engine, run up rotor to operating
speed, and then make a normal shut
down (refer to applicable Pilot's Flight
Manual).
Incorrect application of the ro
tor brake can result in sudden
stopping and kick-back of the main rotor, an
action which can cause damage to the rotor
blades and strap packs in the rotor hub. Col
lective pitch must never be applied to slow
rotor rotation as this can cause damage to
the rotor blades and strap packs. Applica
tion of a side load to brake handle may dam
age support bracketry.

CAUTION

(2). When rotor slows to approximately 205


or less rpm, disengage brake handle
from retaining clip and pull handle
down to apply braking force. Make
certain that collective pitch stick is in
full down position, and that cyclic
control stick is in neutral position.
(3). Release brake pressure during last
revolution of rotor.
(4). Raise brake handle to stowed position
and engage it in handle retaining clip.

J. Caliper Assembly, Brake Disc and Drive
Coupling Installation
(Ref. Figure 902) The caliper assembly is
bolted to a mounting bracket which is installed
on the main transmission tail rotor cover. The
brake disc is bolted on the drive coupling
which is installed on the transmission output
shaft. For clarity, the brake disc and drive
coupling are considered as a single item,
herein referred to as the disc/coupling unit.
Although the caliper assembly and the
disc/coupling unit are not mechanically
connected, they are installed on the transmis
sion with the outer portion of the disc posi
tioned between the two halves of the caliper
assembly. This arrangement makes it neces
sary to install both units at the same time.

measure hole diameter. Hole diameter


to be 0.312-0.313 inch (7.9248-7.9502
mm) (Ref. CSP-COM-5 for bolt hole
repair).
(3). Check input shaft for:
(a). Axial play by moving shaft in and
out; transmission must be cold. Axial
play is limited to 0.004 inch (0.102
mm) maximum.
(b). Measure runout; mark high and low
extremes on outer end of shaft with
grease pencil. Total indicated runout
should be less than 0.002 inch (0.051
mm).
(4). Check output shaft for:
(a). Axial play; no axial movement is
permitted.
(b). Measure runout; mark high and low
extremes on outer end of shaft with
grease pencil. Total indicated runout
should be less than 0.0025 inch
(0.0635 mm).
(5). While gently pulling out on input shaft,
check gearset backlash:
(a). Two-bladed gearset backlash should
be 0.004-0.008 inch (0.102-0.203
mm).
(b). Four-bladed gearset backlash should
be 0.0025-0.0050 inch (0.0635-0.127
mm).

NOTE: Although not required, placing marks


on end of output shaft provides guides for
subsequent installation of tail rotor assem
bly in a manner that reduces chances of
high frequency vibrations and lessens possi
bility of requirement for tail rotor balancing.
(6). Inspect all scoring or scratching of
output shaft to determine if marks
penetrate through cadmium plating
and into steel shaft. Penetration of steel
shaft is allowable to maximum depth of
0.010 inch (0.254 mm).

ANTITORQUE ASSEMBLY
FAULT ISOLATION
1. Tail Rotor Assembly

quick-release pins on top of pedal arms and


repositioning pedals.

The tail rotor, mounted on the tail rotor


transmission at the end of the tailboom,
counteracts main rotor torque and controls
heading of the helicopter. The tail rotor control
system changes the pitch of the tail rotor
blades. The antitorque pedals move a system
of bellcranks and control rods routed through
the fuselage and tailboom to a pitch control
assembly which moves links that attach to
blade-pitch arms on the blades.
The pitch control assembly slides axially on
the tail rotor transmission output shaft.
Pushing forward on the left pedal changes
heading to the left; forward right pedal
movement changes heading to the right.
For two-bladed tail rotor system, blade pitch
movement is -13 degrees to -15 degrees thrust
to the left and +27 degrees to +29 degrees to
the right.
For four-bladed tail rotor system, blade pitch
movement is -13 degrees to -15 degrees thrust
to the left, +31 degrees to +32 degrees thrust
to the right and +6.5 degrees to +8.5 degrees
thrust to the right at neutral.
During flight, pedal position and pressure
required to maintain a desired heading varies
with main rotor torque variations, altitude and
airspeed conditions. Control linkage includes a
bungee spring that relieves left pedal forces in
flight.
When the helicopter is on the ground, pedalto-seat distance is adjusted by removing

The two-bladed tail rotor assembly consists


mainly of two tail rotor blades, a hub, drive
fork, two pitch control links, and a pitch
control assembly.
The four-bladed tail rotor assembly consists
of four tail rotor blades, two hubs, drive fork,
four pitch control links and a pitch control
assembly. The blades are held together on the
hub by a laminated tension-torsion strap pack
that permits the blades to rotate axially on the
hub. The hub pivots in the drive fork. Control
of blade pitch is from the pitch control assem
bly through pitch control links that connect to
pitch arms on the blade root fittings.
2. AntiTorque Fan Assembly
The anti-torque fan is an axial fan with
thirteen variable pitch blades. The fan
provides anti-torque by furnishing variable
flow of low pressure high volume air through
the tailboom and thrusters.
During flight, pedal position and pressure
required to maintain a desired heading varies
with main rotor torque variations, altitude and
airspeed conditions. Control linkage includes a
bungee spring that relieves left pedal forces in
flight.
When the helicopter is on the ground, pedalto-seat distance is adjusted by removing
quick-release pins on top of pedal arms and
repositioning pedals.

TAIL ROTOR BLADES


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Tail Rotor Blades
Blades are cambered for high thrust to provide
directional control at high altitude. Each
consists of an aluminum honeycomb spar,
aluminum skin, riveted aluminum blade
fittings and an aluminum tip cap; all structur
ally bonded together.
At manufacture, static balancing moments of
all blades are within plus or minus 40 gram
inches of each other by use of a special
balancing fixture and prebalancing with tip
weights. Although erosion or allowable repairs
may cause minor balance moment changes,
such changes are considered negligible enough
to allow direct replacement of any used blade
with a new one and interchangeable use of
blades with remaining service life. In any case
of blade selection or use, inspection, repair and
serviceability requirements must be complied
with. Retirement schedule and remaining
service life of a used blade should always be
considered when making decision to replace a
single blade (Ref. Sec. 04-00-00).

Scratches that do not exceed 0.020 inch


(0.508 mm) depth are permissible if
repaired.
(4). Loose or missing tip weights and
attachment hardware.
(5). Clogged drain openings.
(6). Adhesive separation at exposed edges.
(7). Debonding of tip cap from tail rotor
blade (Ref. Tail Rotor Blade Tip Cap
Repair).
(8). Tip cap rivets for installation and
condition (Ref. Tail Rotor Blade Tip Cap
Repair).
(9). Tail rotor blade pitch bearings for a
maximum 0.250 inch (6.350 mm) play
measured at tip of blade.
3. Abrasion Strip Dye Penetrant and Tap
Test Inspection
(Ref. Figure 202)

2. Tail Rotor Blade Inspection


(Ref. Figure 201) Perform balance check at
intervals specified (Ref. Sec. 05-20-00). If any
of following conditions exist, perform appropri
ate detailed inspections and allowable repairs
(Ref. COM).
(1). Surface cracks, scratches, nicks,
gouges, dents, pits or corrosion.
(2). Leading edge erosion or dents. Visually
check abrasion strip for paint cracking
or chipping along abrasion strip/airfoil
bond line. Use 10X glass to check
abrasion strip/airfoil bond line for
debonding between epoxy adhesive and
abrasion strip. If debonding has
occurred, remove blade from service.

NOTE: If abrasion strip debonding is sus


pected, but cannot be confirmed by visual
inspection, (Ref. Abrasion Strip Dye Pene
trant and Tap Test Inspection).
(3). Root fitting cracks, scratches, nicks and
gouges. No cracks are allowable.

(1). Using a 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) drill bit


and a pencil, fabricate a tapping
hammer by taping drill bit to pencil.
Drill bit should be a minimum of six
inches (15.24 cm) from end of pencil
that is to be held while tapping.

NOTE: Voids are indicated by a dull, dead tone.


Slight tone changes will occur near the tip
cap and along the length of the strip. These
should not be mistaken for voids.
(2). Using the fabricated tapping hammer,
tap test the entire abrasion strip. Hold
end of pencil opposite drill bit and tap
with shank (rounded) end of drill bit. If
void indications are noted, remove
blade from service.
(3). Mask area of blade around abrasion
strip with masking tape (CM729).

Do not use chemical paint re


mover to remove paint from
abrasion strip. Chemicals can attack the
abrasion strip to blade bonding agent.

CAUTION

(4). Using 220 grit abrasive paper (CM801),


sand dry, removing all paint from the
abrasion strip. Ensure abrasion to
airfoil bondline is exposed. Clean paint
dust from blade.

NOTE: Do not remove masking tape from blade


until completion of dye penetrant inspec
tion.
(5). Visually check abrasion strip to blade
bonding using a 10X magnifying glass.
If bond failure is obvious, remove blade
from service.
(6). Dye penetrant inspect, according to
manufacturer's instructions.
(a). Inspect entire abrasion strip to blade
bond line, including abrasion strip
bond in blade tip cap area.
(b). Apply penetrant using a small brush
or swab to prevent damage to blade
paint, and to minimize clean-up.
(c). Allow penetrant to remain on surface
of abrasion strip bondline for five
minutes minimum.
(d). Use dry lint free cloth or paper towel
to remove excess penetrant.
(e). Apply remover to cloth or lint free
towel to remove remaining surface
penetrant.

NOTE: Never spray or flush area of inspection

ure. Bond failure is indicated by penetrant


bleedout from under the abrasion strip, and
will appear as a line along the edge of the
strip. The 5X magnifying glass will aid dis
tinguishing between porosity voids and
bleedout from under the abrasion strip. It
may be necessary to wipe off, then reapply
the developer to distinguish between poros
ity voids and bond separations. The most
positive indication of bond failure will nor
mally appear during the first one to seven
minutes following developer application.
(8). Using a 5X magnifying glass, examine
bond line to determine if penetrant dye
is indicating a bond separation. If bond
separation is noted, remove blade from
service.
(9). Remove masking tape from blade.
(10). Inspect blade for cleanliness and paint
damage. Clean and repair paint
damage as necessary (Ref. Sec. 20-30).

NOTE: Do not repaint abrasion strip or abra


sion strip to blade bond line.
(11). Check tail rotor balance (Ref. Sec.
18-20-00).
(12). If blade is removed from service
because of separation or voids, notify an
Approved MDHS Service Center or
Distributor for disposition. Those
blades in which voids are found shall be
sent to an approved repair station for
abrasion strip replacement.
4. Tail Rotor Blade Tip Cap Repair
(Ref. Figure 203)

with cleaner.
(f). Ensure thorough penetrant removal
from surface before applying develop
er.
(7). Apply a light film of developer on the
area of examination.

NOTE: The epoxy adhesive used to bond abra


sion strip to blade may have porosity voids.
The penetrant will form a circular pattern
around voids resulting from porosity. These
circular patterns do not indicate bond fail

NOTE: Always record number and location of


existing balance washers when replacing
blade. This record aids in dynamic balance
troubleshooting.
(1). Remove cotter pin, nut, washer and
pitch arm bolt from outboard end of
pitch control link.
Bolt, nut, washers and bushings
may be reinstalled if service
able. If bushing and crush washers are to be
reused, they must be installed in the exact
location from which they were removed. If
either the blade or strap pack assembly from
which they were removed is replaced, re
place crush washers and bushing. Bushings
must be free of nicks and burrs.

CAUTION

NOTE: If same blade is to be reinstalled, retain


intact for reuse. Note and record number
and type of balance washers and attach
ment hardware used on bolt at blade pitch
arm.
(2). Remove bolt that secures blade to
outboard strap pack shoes.
(3). Withdraw blade from hub trunnion.
Do not disassemble strap shoes
from end of strap pack protrud
ing from trunnion. Strap pack parts are not
individually replaceable and must remain
assembled. Avoid damaging strap pack.
Scratches or nicks on strap pack laminates
may make strap pack unserviceable.

CAUTION

NOTE: No axial play is allowed in the strap as


sembly shoes. Rotational movement is per
missible.

(11). Reinstall tail rotor blade on helicopter


(Ref. Tail Rotor Blade Replacement
Procedure).

(4). If strap pack is to remain exposed for


any length of time, wrap exposed end of
strap pack with wax paper or other
similar non-abrasive material to
protect from damage.

any balance washers or weight from
blade.

NOTE: Remove old primer from mating sur


faces and attaching hardware prior to reas
sembly.
(6). To install blade, remove any protective
covering from strap pack extending
from hub trunnion.
(7). Install O-ring and slide blade on hub
with blade leading edge facing in
counterclockwise direction. Use care to
keep blade correctly aligned so that hub
trunnion slides into blade pitch bear
ings. Do not use force.
(8). Align bolt holes in root fitting with hole
through bushing in outboard shoes of
strap pack.
(9). Coat contacting surfaces of bushings,
washers, nuts and bolts with unthinned
primer (CM318) and immediately
perform following steps.
(10). Assemble and install bolt, bushings and
washers in sequence (Ref. Figure 201).
Make certain that direction of bolt is
opposite to that of opposing blade. Do
not force bolt; it must have an easy but
snug fit through blade, shoes and
bushings.

NOTE: It is recommended that the MS 21250


bolt be replaced with any of the alternate
bolts with the higher torque at the operators
earliest convenience.
(11). If an MS 21250 bolt is installed, install
nut and torque to 600 - 650 inchpounds (67.79 - 73.44 Nm) while
primer is wet. If an HS5482-6,
HS4441-6, or an LWB22-6 bolt is
installed, torque nut to 750 - 775
inch-pounds (84.74 - 87.56 Nm).
After blade is secured to strap
pack assembly, do not allow
blade pitch travel from neutral to exceed 30
degrees in either direction. Rotating blade
to excessive pitch angles may result in unde
tected damage to strap assembly.

CAUTION

(12). Check that bolthead is flat against


bushing. No gap is permitted. If gap is
found, replace bolt and bushing.

nance of the hub, strap pack and fork as an
assembled unit. For all other maintenance
instructions pertaining to hub and fork
assembly, and the hub assembly, strap pack
and fork assemblies as separately-maintain
able components, Ref. COM.

On four-bladed tail rotor

WARNING system, there is strong

spring pressure in installed tail rotor


linkage. Disconnect the in-line bungee
before beginning disassembly. Failure
to disconnect the bungee can result in
personal injury and/or parts damage.
(1). On four-bladed tail rotor, disconnect
in-line bungee (Ref. Sec. 67-20-10) if
tail rotor is installed on helicopter.

CAUTION
D Whenever blades and hub are removed as
an assembly, or whenever pitch control
links are disconnected, do not allow blade
pitch to exceed 30 degrees from neutral
pitch position. This is equal to blade pitch
control arm movement of approximately

one inch in either direction. Unrestricted


rotation of blades on hub can excessively
bend or stretch strap pack and cause un
detected damage to strap pack and an
out-of-balance tail rotor when reas
sembled.
D To prevent balance problems at reassemb
ly of parts and hardware, mark exact
number, locations and positions of all
items before removal for correct reinstal
lation.
D On two-bladed tail rotor system do not
remove hub-to-drive fork hinge bolt to
remove tail rotor assembly. On fourbladed tail rotor system hub-to-drive
fork hinge bolt removal is required. This
bolt should only be removed according to
instructions Ref. COM. Damage to strap
pack may occur if any other procedure is
used.
(2). Disconnect pitch control links from
blade pitch control arms.
(3). Pull rotating boot out of groove in fork.
(4). On four-bladed tail rotor system
remove inboard and outboard blades
and hubs to access fork tang washer
and nut.

NOTE: Helicopters Serial Nos. D0003 thru


D1024 had a two-piece retaining nut and
stop support. Helicopters subsequent to
D1024 have a one-piece retaining nut and
stop support.
(5). Straighten tang of tang washer.
(6). Using torque wrench adapter (ST607),
loosen retaining nut and slide tail rotor
outward on output shaft of tail rotor
transmission to remove blade stop and

It is possible for pitch control


swashplate to be misaligned by
one-half spline in relation to drive fork.
Make sure drive fork, pitch links and swash
plate are in exact alignment with transmis
sion shaft centerline. If incorrectly as
sembled, swashplate will be misaligned
approximately 10 degrees from drive fork.
To correct this condition, remove tail rotor
assembly (leaving pitch control assembly in
stalled), rotate tail rotor assembly 180 de
grees and reinstall it.

CAUTION

(3). Slide tail rotor assembly onto shaft


with drive fork-to-hub pivot bolt
aligned with swashplate lugs. Position
tail rotor assembly on shaft so that
approximately two threads at shaft end
are exposed outboard of drive fork.
(4). Coat tapered ring with primer (CM318)
and install it on shaft, making certain
that tapered edge parallels chamfer in
fork. Perform the following steps while
primer is wet.

NOTE: Pre-assembly of tang washer, nut, stop


support and stop as a unit aids in their in
stallation when performing steps (5). thru
(7). below. Marking outer tang that is next to
inner key on tang washer, before assembly
of parts, simplifies alignment with keyway
on shaft. Teeter blades to start tang washer
on shaft.
(5). Slip new tang washer over exposed
threads of shaft; key tang must face
inboard toward gearbox. Install nut
approximately two full turns on shaft
threads to verify threads engaged.
(6). Slide tail rotor assembly outboard
against nut. Install stop support by
inserting it in drive shaft end.
In next step do not force stop
into position with screwdriver;
this can crack the stop.

CAUTION

(10). Torque retaining nut, using torque


wrench adapter (ST607), to:
(a). Torque two-bladed retaining nut to
450 - 500 inch-pounds (50.84 56.49 Nm).
(b). Torque four-bladed retaining nut to
550 - 600 inch-pounds (62.14 67.79 Nm) and ensure wire-spring
split ring halves are firmly imbedded
in fork recess.

NOTE: Tang washer movement of more than


one tang width is an indication that tang
washer inner key tang is sheared. This con
dition requires replacement of tang washer
and reassembly of parts according to initial
installation procedure.
(11). Check that tang has not moved more
than one tang width in relation to
reference point noted in step (9).
(12). Measure clearance between tang
washer and fork.
(13). If clearance is less than 0.005 inch
(0.127 mm), replace tapered ring and/or
fork assembly.
(14). Bend two tangs on tang washer to lock
retaining nut. When bending tangs, do
not force-form tang to match nut
contour; maintain natural bend radius
that develops at tang root.
(15). Apply torque stripe paint across nut,
tang washer and fork assembly in
location that can be checked visually.
(16). Insert edge of rotating boot into groove
of drive fork.
(17). Install pitch control links (Ref. Sec.

3. Tail Rotor Hub and Fork Inspection


(Ref. Figure 201) Hub inspection is accom
plished with tail rotor blades removed.
(1). Inspect areas on hub trunnions that
mate with blade pitch bearings for
excessive wear and for damage.
(2). Check hub and fork for axial play or
bearing roughness when hub is pivoted
from one extreme to the other.
(3). Check torque of fork hinge bolt. Apply
125 inch-pounds (14.12 Nm) torque
to nut or bolt. If bolt or nut does not
rotate, preload is correct. If bolt or nut
rotates, retorque. (For repair limit,
torquing requirements and replacement
criteria, Ref. COM.)
(4). Check visible areas of strap pack for
nicks or scratches on strap laminates,
cracked or kinked laminates and sharp
bends or permanent twists in lami
nates. Any one of these defects, except
minor outer surface defects that can be
removed by abrasive polishing, requires
replacement of strap pack. (For infor
mation on allowable repairs, service
ability requirements and replacement,
Ref. COM.)
4. Conical Bearing Inspection
Visually inspect conical bearings installed in
fork assembly, at intervals specified (Ref. Sec.
05-20-00).
(1). Play is not permitted in conical drive
fork bearings.
5. Elastomeric Fork Bearing Inspection
Visually inspect elastomeric bearings installed
in fork assembly, at intervals specified (Ref.
Sec. 05-20-00) for damage and debonding
from fork as follows.
Elastomeric materials can be
damaged by solvents, grease or
oil. If cleaning is necessary, refer to Elasto
meric Bearing - Care and Cleaning.

CAUTION

(1). Apply teetering force by hand to rotor


blades (stop-to-stop). Check for
fork-to-bearing bond failure. Failure is
indicated by any motion between outer

pounds (6.672-22.24 N). If load is not


within specified limit, replace bearing.
(8). Reinstall rubber blade stop.

(2). Teeter blades stop-to-stop. Observe


four radial molded ridges on each
bearing as teetering takes place. If
ridges assume continuous curved
shape, bearings are intact. Discontinu
ity in molded ridges indicates bearing
failure and bearing must be replaced.
(3). Check bearing for general condition.
Replace bearing if damaged. Evidence
of light swelling, pock marks and
crumbs are surface conditions and are
not indications of bearing failure.
(4). Elastomeric bearings are suspected of
being unserviceable if visual inspection
reveals rubber deterioration or separa
tion, or a vibration is reported. Perform
following steps to check blade flapping
resistance measurement to determine if
suspected elastomeric bearing has
failed.
(5). To perform measurement, remove
rubber blade stop between tail rotor
hub and fork on inboard hub. The
outboard tail rotor assembly can be
checked without any disassembly.
Do not remove hub-to-drive
CAUTION fork hinge bolt to remove
2-bladed tail rotor assembly. This bolt
should only be removed according to in
structions in the COM. Damage to strap
pack may occur if any other procedure is
used.
(6). The rubber blade stop must be re
moved. Reassemble tail rotor with
rubber blade stop removed.
(7). Measure flapping resistance of blades
using spring scale attached within 1.00
inch (2.54 cm) for 369D/E or 2.00 inch
(5.08 cm) for 369FF inboard of blade tip
(Ref. Figure 204). Block or hold tail
rotor pedal in neutral position. While
pulling 90 degrees from plane of
rotation, record spring scale value when
blade tip is 3.00 inches (7.62 cm)
inboard and outboard from no-load
position. Scale must indicate 1.5-5.0

6. Elastomeric Bearing Care and Cleaning
Elastomeric bearings are not inherently
resistant to grease, oils or solvents if im
mersed. They are, however, somewhat resis
tant to occasional splash or spoilage of these
materials if exposed on an occasional basis. If
elastomeric materials do come in contact with
these fluids, the elastomer surface should be
immediately cleaned. If cleaning is accom
plished properly, the effect of greases, oils or
solvents on the performance of the elastomeric
material will be minimal. If replacement of
elastomeric bearing is required, refer to COM.
(1). If greases, oils or solvents come in
contact with the elastomeric material,
wipe immediately with clean, dry rag.
(2). If wiping is not sufficient (oil or grease
is too thick), clean the affected area of
the elastomer with a soft bristle brush
and a solution of pure soap and water.
(3). Rinse with tap water.

Removal
(1). Remove tailboom (Ref Sec. 53-40-30).
(2). Disconnect safety wire and remove nut,
lockwasher, 3 bolts, washers and pitch
bearing retainer plate.
(3). Remove pitch bearing and inner pitch
bearing retainer; remove pitch slider
from pitch bearing housing (Ref. Sec.
67-20-30).
(4). Remove fan assembly (Ref. Anti-Torque
Fan Replacement).
(5). Remove sealant around liner edges
with plastic scraper.
(6). Remove four screws that secure the
liner to the aircraft structure.

NOTE: Mark liner to aircraft structure to en


sure proper clocking upon installation. If
liner is not installed in same position, felt
metal seal machining will be necessary for
correct fan clearance.
(7). Carefully slide liner aft through
support structure and fan support
struts.

NOTE: On installation of liner assembly, peel


shim laminates equally among the four
shims to provide a tight fit without deform
ing the liner at screw holes and aircraft
structure.
(2). Install four screws. Torque screws per
standard aircraft practices.
Do not install sealant in butt
splices of liner until after felt
metal is turned/cut to correct clearance. Do
ing so will damage cutting tool and cause in
correct cutting radius to liner seal.

CAUTION

(3). Install sealant (CM425) in mating bores


(cutouts) and around liner edges.
(4). After installing the fan liner and before
installing the fan, trim liner felt metal
seal (Ref. Anti-Torque Fan Liner (Felt

TAIL ROTOR PITCH CONTROL ASSEMBLY


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Tail Rotor Pitch Control Assembly

On four-bladed tail rotor

(Ref. Figure 203 and Figure 204) The pitch


control assembly consists of a swashplate that
rotates in a matched set of two bearings
swaged inside a housing. A self-aligning
bearing staked in place at the underside of the
housing provides a pivot for transferring
motion of Sta. 284 bellcrank to the housing.
Clevis ears on end of the swashplate provide
for connection of pitch control links. Movement
of Sta. 284 bellcrank shifts the housing axially
on the output shaft of the tail rotor transmis
sion and moves pitch control links inward and
outward to change pitch of tail rotor blades.
The swashplate is retained in the pitch control
housing by a washer and locknut.
2. Tail Rotor Pitch Control Assembly
Replacement
A. Tail Rotor Pitch Control Assembly
Removal
(Ref. Figure 203 and Figure 204)

WARNING system, there is strong

spring pressure in installed tail rotor


linkage. Disconnect the in-line bungee
before beginning disassembly. Failure
to disconnect the bungee can result in
personal injury and/or parts damage.
(1). Remove tail rotor hub and fork assem
bly (Ref. Sec. 64-20-00).

NOTE: The manner in which the pitch control


assembly is installed determines rotorblade orientation to transmission splined
shaft. Installing rotor blades at 90 degrees
to high and low extremes of shaft runout,
using reference marks placed on shaft at
time of shaft inspection (Ref. Sec. 63-25-10)
reduces chance of high-frequency vibration
and lessens likelihood of having to reba
lance tail rotor.

(1). If tail rotor control system drag or


friction is suspected, use spring scale
(Ref. Figure 201) to measure drag
(sliding friction) of pitch control
assembly on shaft of tail rotor transmis
sion. Note that pitch control links, Sta.
284 bellcrank and rubber boots must be
detached from the assembly during

CSP-HMI-2

drag check. If drag exceeds three


pounds (13.4 N), remove pitch control
assembly and clean swashplate and
transmission shaft splines. Use solvent
(CM234) and grade 400 abrasive paper
(CM801) or crocus cloth (CM803). Clean
again with solvent (CM234) and coat
output shaft splines with light film of
grease (CM115).
(2). Inspect fork and hub for scratches,
nicks, dents, cracks, corrosion and
similar surface defects. Check for wear
caused by rubbing of aluminum
support. Scratches and nicks that do
not exceed 0.005 inch (0.127 mm)
depth, 0.120 inch (3.048 mm) depth at
inside corner of fork, may be repaired
(Ref. COM). Worn areas resulting from
rubbing of aluminum support up to
0.060 inch (1.524 mm) depth may be
repaired (Ref. COM).
(3). Check wire-spring split ring halves for
damage.
(4). If brinelling wear of inner surfaces of
swashplate clevis ears is detected, 0.003
inch (0.076 mm) depth is allowable
without rework or repair. For wear of
greater depth, Ref. COM, for limits and
allowable repairs.
(5). If there is evidence of swashplate
contact with housing, check that
minimum clearance of 0.015 inch (0.381
mm) exists through 360 degrees of
rotation with axial loading applied. If
contact is apparent or if axial play can
be measured, replace swashplate or
bearings (Ref. COM).

NOTE: Wobble may be accurately measured by


attaching dial indicator support to tail rotor
drive fork, with indicator probe contacting
swashplate clevis ear. Use care not to allow
pitch control assembly to slide on output
shaft while measuring wobble.
(6). If pitch control assembly wobbles on
transmission output shaft, up to 0.020
inch (0.508 mm) is allowable. If greater
amount of wobble is present, replace
swashplate, pitch control housing,
bearings (Ref, COM) or the complete
assembly.

Sec. 05-20-00) and when bearing
condition is questionable.
(a). Remove cotter pin, nut, washers and
bolt securing Sta. 284 bellcrank to
transmission. Separate pivot pin on
bellcrank from pitch control assem
bly.
(b). Rotate pitch control housing by hand;
check for rough, binding or hard
turning. Inspect for grease leakage. If
any of these conditions exist, remove
pitch control assembly and inspect
for further evidence of damage.
(c). Check that self-aligning bearing on
underside of pitch control housing is
adequately lubricated (packed
approximately 40 percent full) with
grease (CM115), is movable and is
serviceable.
(d). Ensure that pivot pin on Sta. 284
bellcrank is lubricated with grease
(CM115). Position bellcrank to
engage pivot pin with pitch control
assembly. Secure bellcrank to trans
mission with bolt, washers, nut and
cotter pin.

6. Tail Rotor Blade Stop Inspection

NOTE: Change of blade pitch angle when tail


rotor is not rotating can produce audible
snapping noise. Noise results as lamina
tions of blade strap pack are twisted and
bent without a centrifugal load. Such noise
is normal and does not indicate a defect.
(1). Teeter blades back and forth and check
for evidence of abnormal binding. Some
stiffness is normal, especially when
blade stop is newer.
(2). Inspect blade stop for deterioration. Be
sure to check for cracking or splitting in
stem area of stop. Allowable wear for
rubber stop is to surface of aluminum
support. Stop (and support) may be
rotated 90 degrees if stop is excessively
worn at contact point. Replace rubber
stop if damaged, or if worn area cannot
be rotated away from contact point.

NOTE: If replacement of stop support is re


quired, replace with one-piece stop support
and retaining nut.
(3). Check aluminum support for condition
and wear. Replace aluminum support if
damaged, or if excessive wear reduces
clearance between tail rotor blade and
tail boom to less than 0.50 inch (12.70
mm) minimum. Measure allowable
clearance between tip of tail rotor blade
and tail boom while holding hub
against support, and with assistant
applying full right tail rotor pedal.

NOTE: For any questionable items, refer to


complete and detailed inspection, damage,
wear and repair limits, and requirements
for tail rotor assembly in COM.
7. Tail Rotor Pitch Control Link Inspection

NOTE: For more detailed information, refer to


inspection, damage, wear and repair limits,
and requirements for pitch control assembly
(Ref. COM).
(11). Inspect for evidence of rotational
binding by hand-turning tail rotor
assembly a few turns while listening for
unusual sounds. If condition is ques
tionable, perform applicable inspection.

NOTE: Since bearing wear usually occurs only


at blade pitch control arm from displace
ment during operation, links can be re
versed and continued in service until either
or both bearings exceed wear tolerance.
(2). Replace pitch control link if worn
beyond 0.070 inch (1.778 mm) limit. If
wear area(s) are within limits, touchup with primer (CM318) and paint (Ref.
Sec. 20-30-00) at inspection.
8. Tail Rotor Conical Bearing Inspection
(1). Play is not permitted in conical drive
fork bearings (Ref. COM).
9. Tail Rotor Pitch Bearing Inspection

NOTE: In the following step, physical check for


pitch bearing wear that causes root fitting
play on hub can be made by holding one
blade firmly and measuring flapping play at
tip of opposite blade. Measured play indi
cates combined wear of pitch bearings.
(1). Maximum allowable pitch bearings play
is 0.250 inch (6.350 mm).

FLIGHT CONTROLS
FAULT ISOLATION
1. Main Rotor Flight Control System
Troubleshooting
Ensure that rotor controls are
not struck by any object. Many
of the components are highly stressed and
must not be returned to service if surface
damage occurs. When maintenance work is
performed near engine air inlet, comply
with precautions (Ref. Chap. 71) to prevent
entry of foreign objects.

CAUTION

Troubleshooting information is divided into: (1)


investigation of main rotor vibrations (Ref.
Chap. 62); (2) investigation of symptoms (Ref.
Table 101); and (3) isolation of troubles (Ref.
Table 102).
First determine which major installation is
defective. Isolate each linkage installation
from others until area of malfunction is
located. Then investigate and determine exact
location of malfunction and repair or replace
defective component(s). Since first indication of
trouble usually is felt at cyclic or collective
pitch stick, isolation procedures in Table 101
and Table 102 begin with symptoms detected
during operation of these controls.
Sudden onset of excessive

WARNING and/or unusual main rotor


vibrations should be investigated as to
cause, prior to continued flight. Under
no circumstance should main rotor
tracking be attempted to correct the
problem until a thorough inspection of
the main rotor blades, hub assembly
and strap pack assembly has been per
formed.
2. AntiTorque Flight Controls
Anti-Torque flight controls consist of anti-tor
que pedals, torque tube, floor-routed control

tube, tunnel-routed control tube, Sta. 120


control tube and tail boom control rod trans
mitting input through a series of bellcranks
and idlers.
3. AntiTorque and Control System
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting information is divided into (1)
investigation of operational vibration problems
originating with the tail rotor or symptoms
that can be recognized (Ref. Chap. 64) and (2)
isolation and localization of an unusual
controls malfunction (Ref. Table 103 or
Table 104).
4. Stability Augmentation System
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting the Yaw Stability Augmenta
tion System (YSAS) shall be performed using
the wiring diagram (Ref. Figure 101) in
conjunction with the fault isolation tree (Ref.
Figure 102) and the ground test box (Ref.
Figure 103).
Troubleshooting the YSAS by field mainte
nance personnel shall be limited to isolating
the trouble to a malfunctioning or defective
system unit/component.
For removal or replacement of YSAS compo
nents refer to applicable section.
Death or injury can occur if

WARNING proper safety precautions


are not taken while performing electri
cal system checks with electrical pow
er on.
Maintenance personnel other
than approved manufacturer's
representative shall not attempt to repair
any part of the YSAS system.

MAIN ROTOR FLIGHT CONTROLS


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Main Rotor Flight Controls
Main rotor flight controls consist of scissors,
rotating swashplate, stationary swashplate,
mixer controls (lateral bellcrank, longitudinal
idler, collective pitch mixer bellcrank, longitu
dinal bellcrank, longitudinal control-mixer
link, longitudinal link, and two mixer links)
and five pitch control rods.
Movement of collective pitch cyclic control
sticks is transferred to mixer controls through
control rods routed up through the controls
tunnel at the center of Sta. 78.50 bulkhead.
Mixer controls transfer required combination
of collective, longitudinal and lateral travel
through swashplates to main rotor blades. The
helicopter may be equipped with either
right-hand or left-hand control configurations
consisting of cyclic, collective and anti-torque
controls. The main rotor hub and blades,
swashplate and control linkage to the crew
compartment controls are identical on either
basic configuration.

NOTE: This section contains information for


both L/H command and R/H command heli
copters. Unless otherwise denoted, the in
formation in this section pertains to both
type helicopters.
A. Collective Mixer, Lateral and Longitudinal
Mixer (TunnelRouted) Control Rods
Tunnel-routed control rods mechanically
transfer displacement of flight controls to
associated bellcranks and the idler at the front
of main rotor mast base. All tunnel-routed
control rods are removed, inspected, repaired
and installed in same manner.
B. Controls Support Bracket and Bellcranks
The controls support bracket is below the
pilot's seat cover, between right and left
inboard sides of the seat structure. The
bracket provides the hingeline for longitudinal
and lateral idler bellcrank, tail rotor bellcrank,
and the engine droop control bellcrank. It also

provides inboard support for the collective


torque tube.
C. Collective Controls
Pilot's compartment collective controls consist
of collective pitch stick, collective bungee, and
the interconnecting shaft and linkage. All
components, except the stick and tunnelrouted collective mixer control rod, are located
within the pilot's seat structure. Dual control
provisions are incorporated into the pilot's
compartment collective controls installation.
D. Pilots Collective Pitch Stick
The pilot's collective pitch stick consists
primarily of a switch housing, throttle grip and
friction mechanism, collective stick tube and
friction mechanism and gas producer control
shaft with right angle (pinion and bevel gear)
drive. Collective pitch stick controls include:
the N1 throttle and idle stop release ring, N2
governor trim switch, landing light switch,
stick friction adjustment grip throttle friction
nut and a starter-ignition switch.
E. Copilots Collective Pitch Stick
The copilot's collective stick consists primarily
of a switch housing, N1 throttle grip, stick
tube, and internal gas producer control shafts
having right angle (pinion and bevel) gear
drive. The gear drive linkage is essentially the
same as in pilot's collective stick housing.
Copilot's collective controls include an N2
governor trim switch.
F. Collective Pitch Stick Friction
Pilot's collective pitch stick friction allows the
pilot to vary amount of effort required to raise
and lower the collective pitch stick as well as
increasing stick resistance to position change
resulting from sudden changes in main rotor
collective forces. The grip is marked with
arrows indicating direction of rotation for
increasing or decreasing friction. Friction can
be applied or released with one hand by
rotating the friction adjustment grip.

Revision 21

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL

CSP-HMI-2

Collective stick friction mecha


nism is designed so that stick
cannot be locked in maximum friction point.
Safety of flight considerations require that
pilot be able to instantly change any estab
lished collective pitch stick position, without
changing friction adjustment in event of a
power failure. There is no suitable check
that pilot can make, with helicopter on the
ground, to determine if maintenance adjust
ment of collective friction is correct. This is
due to large force application necessary to
override collective bungee and blades rest
ing on droop stops. If stick friction is inade
quate during flight, a maintenance check
should be performed. Once friction adjust
ment is determined to be correct at low fric
tion point, any further mechanical adjust
ment to alter (increase) friction at low point
can cause stripping of mechanism when grip
is fully rotated for maximum friction.

CAUTION

G. Collective Control Interconnecting


Torque Tube
The collective interconnecting torque tube
consists of the tube, bungee bracket, bungee
fitting and a tube support bearing. The torque
tube interconnects the pilot's collective pitch
stick and the inboard collective stick socket
assembly. The torque tube is supported at the
left end by a bearing installed in seat struc
ture, and at the right end by the controls
support bracket.
H. Collective Bungee
The collective bungee installation consists of a
male bearing assembly, female bearing
assembly, spring and retainer. This unit
attaches between the bungee over-center
fitting and bungee bracket of collective
interconnecting torque tube. The collective
bungee helps maintain selected collective pitch
stick position in flight by counteracting forces
that are fed back in collective pitch stick(s)
(blade pitching moments, rotor head strap
pack torsion when collective pitch stick is
raised or lowered from mid-position, and
combined imbalance of forces in the controls
system). Flight characteristics of the helicopter
are such that collective forces are relatively
low during most stick travel from low to high
blade pitch. At a point near full pitch, stick
forces reverse and become heavy. The purpose
of the adjustable bungee and the overcenter
Page 2
Revision 21

67-10-00

bracket attachment is to counteract these


forces so that collective stick loads are
relatively constant throughout full range of
travel. There are two adjustments provided to
establish or correct collective flight loads. The
collective bungee spring corrects variation in
collective load from low pitch (level flight) to
high pitch (climb). Setting of overcenter bolt to
raise or lower bungee fitting reduces or
increases overall collective forces in both low
pitch (level flight) and high pitch (climb).
I. Inboard Collective Stick Socket Assembly
Inboard collective stick socket assembly is a
cast magnesium housing that contains gas
producer linkage and provisions for attach
ment of dual collective controls. Internal gas
producer drive gear linkage is essentially the
same as that in the pilot's collective stick
housing with the addition of a splined N1
pinion gear for simplified installation or
removal of a copilot's collective stick. The lower
end of the collective mixer (tunnel-routed)
control rod is attached to the socket housing
and the exterior bellcrank, idler and link
transfer movement of the pilot's collective stick
throttle to the gas producer controls routed
through the fuselage to the engine.
J. Cyclic Controls
The cyclic pitch control system is a fully
mechanical control system. Any combination of
lateral and longitudinal cyclic pitch stick
movement is mixed by cyclic lateral and
longitudinal control mixers and transferred to
the main rotor swashplate, which applies the
combined motion through pitch control rods to
the main rotor blades. Forward and rearward
movement of the cyclic pitch stick causes
helicopter motion in a longitudinal direction,
while side-to-side movement provides motion
in a lateral direction. This action varies lift
developed by main rotor blades and serves as
primary control by horizontal flight. Pilot's
compartment cyclic controls include the control
stick, a lateral interconnecting rod, lateral
cyclic bellcrank, longitudinal cyclic control
interconnecting torque tube and lateral and
longitudinal friction mechanism.
K. Pilots Cyclic Control Stick
The pilot's cyclic control stick consists of a grip
and a tube riveted in a socket. The cyclic grip
contains a toggle switch for cyclic trim control

MD Helicopters, Inc.
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
and a trigger switch for radio/interphone
communication. A blank switch socket is
provided at the left of the trim switch for
optional equipment. Coiled, insulated and
open-ended wiring is provided in the grip for
connection to an optional switch.
L. Copilots Cyclic Control Stick
The copilot's cyclic control stick is similar to
the pilot's except electrical wiring exits above
the stick socket. The copilot's cyclic stick is
detachable and may be removed or installed by
use of two quick-release pins.
M. Pilots Compartment Lateral and
Longitudinal Cyclic Control Linkage
Pilot's compartment lateral and longitudinal
cyclic control linkage consists of two control
rods and a bellcrank that interconnect lateral
control movement, and the cyclic torque tube
and one-way lock control system that inter
connect longitudinal control movement of
pilot's cyclic stick to tunnel-routed mixer
control rods. R/H command configuration is
identical to L/H command except for an
additional lateral control rod that attaches
lower end of copilot's cyclic control stick to
lateral cyclic bellcrank.
N. OneWay Lock Control System
The one-way lock of the cyclic control system
is located in longitudinal control linkage
within the pilot's seat structure. The one-way
lock control system is essentially a self-con
tained, closed-loop hydraulic unit - consisting
of a check valve, relief valve and pushrod
mechanism. The check valve is seated when
longitudinal control force (feed-back) origi
nated by main rotor tends to move the
one-way lock (and cyclic stick) in an aft
direction. Seating the check valve prevents
unwanted aft movement of cyclic stick and
shunts feed-back force to helicopter structure.
Normally, only very slight aft movement of the
cyclic stick is required to unseat the check
valve. Should the check valve (or pushrod
shaft that unseats the valve) gall and freeze in
the valve-closed position, a force of approxi
mately 30 pounds is necessary to open the
relief valve and bypass the check valve. This
force is then required for each subsequent aft
movement of the cyclic stick. Conversely,

CSP-HMI-2

should the check valve spring fail, the oneway lock does not function to shunt longitudi
nal feedback forces to structure. The unit is
mounted in two pivoting supports attached to
seat structure, and has a transparent, vented
reservoir with a capacity of approximately 0.67
fluid ounce (20 cc). The one-way lock control
system is serviced through the filler with
hydraulic oil (6, Table 203).
O. Cyclic Trim Actuators
Each of the two cyclic trim actuators consists
of an actuator, housing support, trim tube and
spring assembly. The actuator is essentially a
motor-driven, variable length shaft that
compresses a spring assembly, counteracting
feedback forces from the main rotor and
compensating for imbalance conditions such as
those imposed by crosswinds or unevenly
distributed cargo. Cyclic trim is controlled by
the cyclic trim switch on top of cyclic stick grip.
The cyclic trim switch has five positions:
normally OFF at the center, and momentary
FORWARD, AFT, LEFT, and RIGHT. When
the trim switch is moved off center to any of
the four trim positions, one of the trim motors
operates to provide trim spring force in the
desired direction. By momentarily activation of
the switch, very small trim increments are
obtained. Trim forces cannot be applied in two
directions simultaneously; when both lateral
and longitudinal trim corrections are required,
it is necessary to apply first one, then the
other. Travel of the cyclic pitch control stick is
not limited by the cyclic trim mechanism; trim
spring tension can be overridden at any time.
P. RoofMounted Control Rods (600N)
The roof-mounted control rods transmit cyclic
and collective flight control input from the
tunnel-routed control rods, via the forward
roof-mounted bellcranks, to the link assem
blies, via the aft roof-mounted bellcranks, at
the mixer assembly.
Q. RoofMounted Bellcranks (600N)
The forward roof-mounted bellcrank transfer
controls input from the tunnel-routed control
rods to the roof-mounted control rods. The aft
roof-mounted control rods transfer controls
input from the roof-routed control rods to the
link assemblies.

place in actuator housing. Place one
washer around each side of pivot
bearing in center beam support lug and
align actuator housing with bearing.
Install bolt, two washers and nut (and
cotter pin if old style).
(4). Align actuator with idler bellcrank.
Check that slotted bushing is in
bellcrank lug; install actuator pivot
bushing if actuator is a replacement.
Pivot bushing must rotate freely in
actuator. Install bolt, two washers, nut

MAIN ROTOR FLIGHT CONTROLS


ADJUSTMENT/TEST
1. Cyclic and Collective Control System
Rigging
Rigging of the main rotor control system must
be accomplished immediately after replace
ment of linkage that cannot be accurately
measured (by trameling, etc.) before it is
installed in the main rotor control system, or if
helicopter operation reveals rigging deficiency.

NOTE:
D Cyclic and collective controls must be
rigged in sequence, starting with collec
tive controls. Control rod end bearing ad
justments are to be made to nearest half
turn that produces correct rigging. When
tightening jam nut at adjustable end of
control rods, always hold rod end with
wrench to prevent jamming of bearing.
D On the 600N helicopter, make all rigging
adjustments using the roof-mounted con
trol rods.
D On the 600N helicopter, tunnel-routed
control rods should only be adjusted if a
flight control component, forward of the
roof-mounted bellcranks, has been re
placed.

mast support fitting.

NOTE: When installing the mixer rigging plate


on the 500N helicopter, removal of the split
ter bungee and bracket is required. (Ref. Sec
67-20-30).
(5). Measure and record distance from
horizontal centerline of mast support
bracket hingeline bolt (attaching
longitudinal idler bellcrank and
collective pitch mixer bellcrank to mast
support bracket) to surface of mixer
plate (view A). This dimension shall be
used as the basic dimension in rigging
the mixer controls.
(6). Measure distance from horizontal
centerline of bolt that attaches collec
tive pitch mixer bellcrank to longitudi

Adjustment
(Ref. Figure 507)
For collective friction mecha
nism to be correctly adjusted for
maximum friction, three actions must occur
at same time: Drive gear must contact stick
fitting fixed stop; spring retainer housing
washer must contact retainer internal stop;
and gear assembly pin must be at approxi
mate peak of cam. Do not overtighten re
tainer nut so that retainer washer contacts
retainer stop before friction drive gear
reaches stick fitting stop. Adjustment that
does not produce approximately simulta
neous contact will allow excessive addition

al rotation of drive gear grip and cause ny


lon gears to be stripped.
(1). Remove friction mechanism guard.
(2). Rotate friction drive gear counterclock
wise to maximum friction position.
(3). Remove cotter pin, nut, retainer
assembly, teflon washer and one
phenolic washer.
(4). Slide gear assembly out far enough to
disengage it from idler gear. Use care to
keep other washers and spacer from
dropping.
(5). Remesh gear assembly with idler gear
to position pin on peak of cam. Check
that drive gear is still at maximum
friction stop position.
(6). If gear assembly does not correctly
position pin, reposition idler gear on
drive gear.

NOTE: Ratio of idler gear to gear assembly is


3:1, which permits fine adjustment. When
repositioning idler gear, be sure to reinstall
same number of washers that were removed
from between cotter pin and idler. These
washers limit gear end play to maximum of
0.010 inch (0.254 mm). When reassembled,
gear train must rotate freely.
(7). Reinstall phenolic washer, teflon
washer, retainer assembly and nut.
(8). With drive gear still at maximum
friction position, tighten retainer nut
until it just bottoms on retainer stop.
(9). Rotate friction drive gear clockwise to
minimum friction stop position, release
grip and perform checks in steps (10).
and (11). below.
(10). If pin has overridden low point of cam
(desired minimum friction position),
and grip-to-stick friction prevents
springback of pin to cam low point, turn
grip and move pin to low point.

NOTE: A drive gear that does not rotate freely


on collective stick tube should be replaced.

D Use all necessary precautions to pre
vent possible entry of any foreign ob
jects into controls linkage exposed
by removal of pilot's seat cover to
make adjustment of bungee system.
Do not attempt bungee adjustment in
flight, control jamming could result.
(1). Collective load forces are affected by
any adjustment made in main rotor
system. Comply with the following.
(a). Bungee adjustment should be made
only when main rotor blades are in
track and autorotation rpm is
established.
(b). Ensure that collective stick friction is
correctly adjusted.
(c). Perform flight evaluation of collective
forces with helicopter takeoff weight
at 2350 pounds (1066 kg), N2 at 103
percent and zero collective stick

method, temporarily mark top of
friction grip and adjacent exposed
area of collective stick. Friction
half-way index mark should be
visible to pilot.
(3). While helicopter is on ground, adjust
bungee to extent necessary to avoid any
upload in flat pitch at normal rpm. This
adjustment must also provide absence
of an excessive download or upload
while in hover and at 120 knots level
cruise. Helicopter must be landed after
each flight check, before making
corrective adjustment.

CAUTION
D After each bungee adjustment is made,
collective stick must be slowly moved
through its full travel range to assure
that there is no binding or restriction of
stick motion, and that spring does not bot
tom at overcenter position.
D Do not turn female bearing assembly
spring retainer while bungee installation
tool is spring loaded.
D When making adjustments to the bungee
over-center fitting, ensure nut turns
when bolt adjustment is made. Cotter pin
can be sheared if nut does not turn with
bolt.
(a). If an upload exists on ground at flat
pitch and normal rpm but a down
load prevails during hover and at 120
knot level cruise, turn bungee
adjustment retainer nut clockwise to
increase preload in bungee system.

(b). To correct a download on ground


during flat pitch at normal rpm and
an upload condition during hover and
120 knot level cruise, turn bungee
adjustment retainer nut counter
clockwise to decrease preload in
bungee system.
(c). When a relatively constant upload
condition prevails during flat pitch at
normal rpm on the ground, at hover,
and at 120 knot level cruise, decrease
upload by turning bungee over-cent
er adjustment bolt clockwise.
(d). When a relatively constant download
condition prevails during flat pitch at
normal rpm on the ground, at hover,
and at 120 knot level cruise, decrease
download by turning bungee overcenter adjustment bolt counterclock
wise.

NOTE: Rotation of adjustment bolt head is the


only mechanical operation required to ad
just over-center position of bungee fitting.
(e). After minimum and balanced collec
tive forces are obtained, not more
than one-half of available collective
stick friction (friction grip at halfway index) must cancel collective
forces during flight test at 140 knots
level flight.
(f). If friction applied in step (e). above is
insufficient to cancel collective forces,
repeat adjustment procedure.
15. Cyclic Trim Actuator Bench Testing
(369D/E/FF 500N)

During following tests, do not


retract spring assembly (ram) so
that actuator length is less than 13.50 in
ches (34.29 cm) between attach bolt centers.

CAUTION

(4). With actuator spring assembly (ram)


approximately halfway between travel
limits (actuator length at 14.46 inches
(36.7284 cm) between attach bolt
centers), set up test dial indicator and
measure ram end play. End play must
be within 0.010-0.050 inch (0.254-1.27
mm). While adjusting screw, check that
there is thread-locking friction from
self-locking threaded insert. If end play
is excessive, replace actuator.

NOTE:
D When power is applied to the 8222M6
(369A7014) actuator, it will move in the
commanded direction until it reaches the
end of the stroke. If, during mid-travel,
an opposite power is applied simulta
neously, it will stop and remain stopped
until one or the other input is removed.
D When power is applied to the 8222M7
(369D27001) actuator, it will move, as
commanded, and like the M6, if power is
applied simultaneously in the opposite di
rection, it will stop. Unlike the M6, when
one of the inputs is removed, the M7 ac
tuator may or may not start. If it does not
restart, it has been latched into the off
state by the current surge generated upon
applying the second input. The M7 has a
built-in current limit circuit that latches
it off if the actuator current exceeds 2.7
amp. All power must be removed in order
to unlatch it.

(Ref. Figure 508)


(1). Connect cyclic trim actuator to test
harness and equipment.
(2). Mount actuator in suitable fixture that
allows vertical extension and retrac
tion.
(3). Turn on direct-current power and
adjust output to 25.75 - 26.25 volts.

idler gear, and driven gear are not
stripped or otherwise damaged.
(3). Rotate friction drive gear grip counter
clockwise to maximum friction stop;
gear train must rotate freely. Check
position of shaft assembly pin. Pin
should be at highest point of cam.
(4). If pin is not at approximate peak of cam
or has overridden peak, friction mecha
nism must be readjusted. If pin is in
correct position, continue with step (5).

NOTAR ANTITORQUE SYSTEM FLIGHT CONTROLS


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. NOTAR AntiTorque System Control
Linkages Configuration and Description
(1). The helicopter may be equipped with
either of two basic configurations,
single left-hand command or righthand command, (dual control are
optional).

NOTE:
D The 600N helicopter does not have a
spring on the splitter assembly like the
500N helicopter.
D Some 600N helicopters are not equipped
with a YSAS system.
D The 600N helicopter has a Sta. 95 bell
crank instead of a Sta. 97.50 Bellcrank.
(2). The control linkages for the foot pedals
installation are identical to the basic
helicopter, with the exception of a pedal
friction mechanism with a preset
friction tension. The pedal friction
mechanism (500N only) offers the pilot
an artificial feel or workload of a
conventional tail rotor system.
(3). A splitter bungee spring (500N only)
which is incorporated in the flight
control system at the mast base
between the 97.50 bellcrank support
bracket and splitter pinion gear
dampens control feedback.
(4). Fuselage controls linkages consist of
Sta. 97.50 bellcrank and a support at
the front of the main rotor mast base,
fwd control tube, splitter bungee spring,
splitter assembly, intermediate control
tube, Sta. 137.50 support bracket and a
bellcrank at the fan transmission
support assembly, aft control tube and a
two piece cable assembly to the thrust
er.
(5). Empennage controls consist of a
thruster installation, four piece cable
and drum assembly, a control rod,
vertical stabilizer control tubes and
bellcranks and, in the case of the 500N,

a stability augmentation system


(S.A.S.).
2. Stability Augmentation System
Description and Operation

NOTE: Aircraft equipped with YSAS cannot be


flown with any component of the system re
moved.
(1). The Yaw Stability Augmentation
System provides increased directional
stability and allows for a lower pilot
workload in the directional axis.
(2). The YSAS adds an actuator that is
located inside the right side of the
horizontal stabilizer and is mechanical
ly bolted to the horizontal stabilizer on
the outboard side.
(3). Two access panels on the horizontal
stabilizer allows access to the actuator,
bellcranks, control rod and electrical
connectors.
(4). A yaw rate gyro is located under the
pilot's seat structure on the foreword
bulkhead. Access to the gyro is through
the rear access panel (footwell) Sta.
78.50 canted bulked.
The yaw rate gyro provides short term
rate signals to the computer, propor
tional to the rate of angular displace
ment about the axis perpendicular to
the gyro's mounting surface damping in
the directional axis signal electronical
ly.
(5). A YSAS electronic control box (comput
er) is installed below the rate gyro. It is
equipped with an internally-mounted
lateral accelerometer.
The lateral accelerometer enhances
direction stability by feeding back to
the YSAS computer signals measured
during flight. The computer processes
the signals received and sends them to
the actuator.
(6). The 600N helicopters come equipped
with an indicator mounted in the

67-20-30

console to alert the pilot in case of a


YSAS failure.
3. 500NM7301 YSAS Fin Position Indicator
(U.K. Only)
(Ref. Table 1) The 500N helicopters sold in the
United Kingdom come equipped with an
indicating system to alert the pilot in case of a
YSAS failure. Because this is a very limited
option, the parts are not listed in CSP-IPC-4.

(a). Cut guide from 0.130 inch (3.30 mm)
2024-T3 aluminum sheet 7.00 inch
(17.78 cm) x 4.50 inch (11.43 cm).
(b). Measuring 1.73 inch (4.39 cm) from
bottom, make V-cut in guide 1.030
inch (2.62 cm) wide and 3.79 inch
(9.63 cm) deep.
(c). File 0.070 inch (1.78 mm) wide x
0.260 inch (6.60 mm) deep slot in aft
end of V-cut.
(d). File smooth all surfaces of guide.

NOTE: Note the difference in the degree mark


ings between the top and bottom of the
guide.
(e). Etch degree marks in guide as
indicated in Figure 507.
(2). Manufacture angle tool as follows:
(a). Cut two plates from 0.130 inch (3.30
mm) 2024-T3 aluminum sheet 9.00
inch (22.86 cm) x 2.00 inch (5.08 cm).
(b). Cut a spacer from 0.040 inch (1.016

(c). File smooth all surfaces of spacer and


plates.
(d). Chamfer one 9.00 inch (22.86 cm)
edge of each plate, 0.060 x 0.100 inch
(1.524 x 2.54 mm) (this will be the
front of the tool) as indicated in
Figure 507.
(e). Stack plates, chamfered edges facing
each other with spacer between
plates and flush with aft side of
plates (un-chamfered edge).
(f). Drill and rivet angle tool together,
size and type of rivets optional.
B. Trim Tab Adjustment
(Ref. Figure 506) Adjust vertical stabilizer trim
tabs to improve directional handling character
istics and to minimize pedal forces in forward
flight.
For best results, aircraft should be weighted
down to normal operating weight during test
flights while doing tab adjustments.

NOTE:
D Ensure vertical stabilizers are rigged cor
rectly (Ref. Vertical Stabilizer Assembly
Rigging (600N)).
D Ensure there is no play between the
500N7213-5 bellcrank assembly and the
500N7212-3 shaft.
D Ensure there is minimal play between the
upper and lower vertical stabilizers.
D When installing new upper vertical stabi
lizers, if previous tab settings were not re
corded, left trim tab should be set to zero
degrees and right trim tab should be set
to 10 right (viewed looking forward from
the rear).
D The right vertical stabilizer tends to af
fect pedal pressure more than the left.
The left vertical stabilizer tends to affect
flight characteristics more than the right.

D Always adjust right vertical stabilizer
trim tab first. If tab is bent to a maximum
of 20 before correct pedal pressure can be
achieved, go to left tab and continue ad
justments.
D Limit tab adjustments to 5 increments
between flights.
D Exceeding 20 tab adjustments may cause
a tail wag condition.

er over trim tab.
(3). Position angle tool on trim tab.

Do not bend tabs beyond 20 in


either positive or negative direc
tion. Tabs and/or vertical stabilizer skin can
be damaged.

CAUTION

NOTE:
D Bending tabs to the right will decrease
left pedal pressure.
D Tab angles are acceptable when left pedal
forces are between 2 and 5 lbs. (0.91 and
2.27 Kg) in stabilized flight and the flight
characteristics are acceptable.
(4). Bend tab in direction needed to relieve
pedal pressure and improve flight
characteristics.
(5). Remove tab tools and fly aircraft, see
chart below, to determine if pedal
pressure was relieved.

(3). The engine is secured in the helicopter
by three mount assemblies and ac
cessed through two hinged, air-sealed
doors.
(4). A belt-driven blower provides external
cooling air through strategically
positioned ducts that direct air onto
engine exterior surfaces and through
the engine and transmission oil cooler
heat exchangers. Spent blower air is
exhausted aft through an annular
opening between the engine exhaust
pipes and fuselage.
(5). Engine intake air may be filtered
through a standard screen or optional
air particle separator/mist eliminator
assembly. Intake air is drawn through a
plenum chamber and into the engine
intake bell-mouth by the compressor.
Engine compartment air is separated
from compressor intake air by a seal
ring.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Power Plant Description

sor, N1 tachometer-generator and


accessory gear train, and a two-stage
power turbine driving the spare
accessory pad, governor, N2 tachome
ter-generator and helicopter rotor
system. An overrunning clutch, drive
shaft, starter generator, fuel, oil, drain
and bleed air lines, exhaust ducting,
mounting and hoist fittings and control
levers adapt the engine to the helicop
ter.

(1). MDHI 369FF helicopter is powered by a


250-C30 turboshaft engine manufac
tured by the Allison Engine Company
Inc.
(2). The engine is secured in the helicopter
by three mount assemblies and ac
cessed through two hinged, air-sealed
doors.
(3). A belt-driven blower forces external
cooling air through strategically
positioned ducts that direct the air onto
engine exterior surfaces and through
the engine and transmission oil cooler
heat exchangers. Spent cooling air is
exhausted aft through an annular
opening between the engine exhaust
duct and fuselage.
(4). Engine intake air may be filtered
through a standard screen or optional
air particle separator/mist eliminator
assembly. Intake air is drawn through a
plenum chamber and into the engine
intake bell-mouth by the compressor.
Engine compartment air is separated
from compressor intake air by a seal
ring.
2. Power Plant Operation
(1). The Allison 250-C30 turboshaft engine
consists of a single stage centrifugal
flow compressor, a can-annular
combustion chamber, a two-stage gas
producer turbine driving the compres

(2). Allison Engine Operation and Mainte


nance Manuals are the primary
information source for engine fault
isolation and maintenance data (Ref.
Sec. 01-00-00). Refer to these manuals
for specific engine maintenance proce
dures.
(3). Starter operational limitations are in
the applicable Pilot's Flight Manual.
3. Model 250C30 Power Plant Fault
Isolation
(Ref. Table 1)
(1). Check engine support systems, i.e.; chip
detectors, instruments, fuel supply,
electrical systems, etc., to ensure that
helicopter equipment is functioning
correctly before disassembling engine
systems for an indicated fault.
(2). Inspect and isolate engine problems per
the applicable Allison Engine Operation
and Maintenance Manual.

POWER PLANT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Power Plant Description

centrifugal flow compressor section, a


can-annular combustion section, a
two-stage gas producer turbine section
and power and accessory gearbox. The
gas producer geartrain drives the
compressor, hydromechanical control
unit, fuel pump and internal pressure
and scavenge oil pumps. An overrun
ning clutch, drive shaft, starter genera
tor, fuel, oil, drain and bleed air lines,
exhaust ducting, mounting and hoist
fittings and control levers adapt the
engine to the helicopter.

(1). MDHI 600N helicopter is powered by a


250-C47M turboshaft engine manufac
tured by the Allison Engine Company
Inc.
(2). The engine is secured in the helicopter
by three mount assemblies and ac
cessed through two hinged air-sealed
doors.
(3). A belt-driven blower forces external
cooling air through strategically
positioned ducts that direct the air onto
engine exterior surfaces and through
the engine and transmission oil cooler
heat exchangers. Spent cooling air is
exhausted aft through an annular
opening between the engine exhaust
duct and fuselage.
(4). Engine intake air may be filtered
through a standard screen or optional
air particle separator assembly. Intake
air is drawn through a plenum chamber
and into the engine intake bell-mouth
by the compressor. Engine compart
ment air is separated from compressor
intake air by a seal ring.
(5). The engine is equipped with a full
authority digital engine control (FA
DEC) system. A hydromechanical
control manual system is provided for
backup if the electronic system fails.
2. Power Plant Operation
(1). The Allison 250-C47M turboshaft
engine consists of a single stage

(2). Allison Engine Operation and Mainte


nance Manuals are the primary
information source for engine fault
isolation and maintenance data (Ref.
Sec. 01-00-00). Refer to these manuals
for specific engine maintenance proce
dures.
(3). Starter operational limitations are in
the applicable Pilot's Flight Manual.
3. Model 250C47 Power Plant Fault
Isolation
(Ref. Table 1)
(1). Check engine support systems, i.e.; chip
detectors, instruments, fuel supply,
electrical systems, etc., to ensure that
helicopter equipment is functioning
correctly before disassembling engine
systems for an indicated fault.
(2). Inspect and isolate engine problems per
the applicable Allison Engine Operation
and Maintenance Manual.

Table 1. Power Plant Fault Isolation


Symptom
High frequency vibration (1)

Probable trouble
Loose engine mount bolts

Corrective action
Retorque engine mount bolts to 100
140 inchpounds (11.30 15.82
Nm).

NOTES:
(1) High frequency vibrations may be caused by other drive and rotor system components.

ENGINE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Description and Operation
(1). The engine air intake system consists of
an air inlet screen, plenum chamber,
engine inlet bell, engine inlet firewall
seal, and engine firewall seal ring.
(2). Air enters the inlet fairing, passes
through the inlet screen, plenum
chamber and air inlet bell into the
engine compressor.

intake air from accumulating in the


plenum chamber cavity.
2. Air Inlet Screen Replacement
A. Air Inlet Screen Removal (369D/E/FF
500N)
(Ref. Figure 201)

NOTE: The following procedures are to be used


for all MDHI model helicopters. The differ
ent steps are noted for the 500N installa
tion.

(3). The engine inlet screen assembly is


made of a lightweight 1/4 inch (6.35
mm) mesh metal screen material
secured to a metal frame along its outer
edge. The engine air particle separator
option, when installed, replaces the
inlet screen.

(1). Remove engine air inlet forward


fairings (Ref. Sec. 53-30-00/30).

(4). The inlet screen edge is 1-1/2 inches


(3.81 cm) from the top of air inlet
fairing to provide an intake air-bypass
area in the event that debris clogs the
screen. The firewall seal separates
plenum chamber intake air from engine
compartment air.

(4). On 500N installation, remove the


engine plenum fairing attachment
hardware, open bypass door and
remove fairing assembly.

(5). A differential pressure switch is


mounted with a reference to both sides
of the engine inlet screen. Blockage of
the inlet screen will cause a pressure
decrease on the engine plenum side and
the switch will activate a warning light
in the cockpit.
(6). A cable from the cockpit is manually
operated to open a bypass door which
allows unfiltered air into the engine
inlet plenum if the engine inlet screen
is blocked.
(7). The molded nylon air inlet bell is
retained on its mounting flange with
three flat springs and is required to
smooth air flow into the compressor.
(8). A plenum chamber drain system
prevents water condensed out of engine

(2). Open plenum chamber bypass door.


(3). Install a suitable cover over engine air
inlet bell though bypass door opening.

Avoid FOD. Cover compressor


inlet prior to working in plenum
chamber. Vacuum all FOD debris out of ple
num chamber before removing protective
cover from engine inlet bell. Severe damage
to engine may result from entry of foreign
objects.

CAUTION

(5). Remove clamps or tie-down straps


securing tail rotor control rod boot to
inlet screen fairing.
(6). Disconnect Sta. 120.00 tail rotor control
rod forward end. (Ref. Chap. 67).
(7). On 500N disconnect the intermediate
anti torque tube forward end. (Ref. Sec.
67-20-30).
(8). Remove blower air inlet screen (Ref.
Figure 201).
(9). Remove attaching hardware and engine
air inlet screen.

ENGINE AIR PARTICLE SEPARATOR


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Description and Operation
(Ref. Figure 1)
(1). MDHI 369/500 helicopters may be
equipped with an optional engine inlet
air particle separator filter installation
in place of the standard engine air inlet
screen.
(2). Later model helicopters are equipped
with a Aircraft Porous Media (APM)
filter. Earlier 500D helicopters were
fitted with a Donaldson particle
separator. The APM unit is equipped
with provisions for an optional mist
eliminator installation.
(3). Both the APM and Donaldson particle
separators are installed inside the front
of the aft intake fairing above the
plenum chamber and utilize the same
operating principle. The particle
separator installation consists of vortex
tubes, a collection chamber, a nozzle
manifold, ejectors, flapper valve, seals
and attaching hardware. A scavenge air
system is used to remove trapped
particles from the collection chamber
with engine bleed air. The scavenge air
system consists of a solenoid air valve,
tubes, an air pressure switch, SCAV
AIR circuit breaker switch, AIR
FILTER CLOGGED caution light,
wiring, and attaching hardware. An air
bypass door system is included to allow
the particle separator to be bypassed in
the event the unit becomes clogged. The
air bypass door system includes a
hinged plenum chamber door, door
latches, door actuating forward and aft
cables, cable return spring, two retain
ers, three cable pulleys, adjustable
cable stop, handle and attaching
hardware.
(4). An optional mist eliminator may be
fitted to the back of APM separators to
filter liquid sprays out of engine inlet
air. Nine self retaining bolts secure
early mist eliminator installations to
the aft face of the particle separator.

Later installations feature a system of


clips that retain the mist eliminator in
sealed contact with the particle separa
tor. The mist eliminator consists of a
welded stainless steel frame and wire
mesh screens on the fore and aft faces.
(5). Air drawn through the particle separa
tor by the engine passes through the
parallel vortex tubes. Each tube is
fitted with vanes and an opening to the
particle collection chamber. The vanes
spin the incoming air so that centrifu
gal force separates heavier solid bits
from the air flow. A smaller diameter
tube directs particle free center vortex
tube air through the collection chamber
rear plate into the plenum chamber.
When the scavenge air system is
switched ON, trapped particles are
drawn out of the collection chamber by
scavenge air vacuum and discharged
overboard through an opening in the
right side of the aft inlet fairing of APM
equipped helicopters and the left side
on Donaldson equipped machines. The
nozzle manifold is fitted with an engine
bleed air inlet port and air jets to
discharge contaminants. The ejector
assembly consists of a mounting flange
with tubes, duct assembly and flapper
valve.
(6). The scavenge air system is supplied
compressor bleed air controlled by the
solenoid air valve. Bleed air is delivered
to a duct-mounted nozzle-manifold
that ejects contaminants from the
particle separator. The electrically
actuated solenoid air valve is mounted
on the left forward side of the Station
124.00 bulkhead. The valve is con
trolled by the SCAV AIR circuit breaker
switch on the instrument panel.
(7). An increase in plenum chamber
vacuum (reduced plenum chamber
pressure) caused by reduced airflow
through a clogged filter/mist eliminator
is sensed by a differential pressure
switch ported to the plenum chamber
and particle separator inlet. Sufficient

pressure differential causes the switch


to close. Switch closure lights an AIR
FILTER CLOGGED caution indicator
on the instrument panel. A cable
actuated filter bypass door on the
plenum chamber wall may be opened by
the pilot to allow the engine to operate
on unfiltered air.
(8). Pulling the FILTER BYPASS CON
TROL handle in the crew compartment
disengages two door latches inside the
engine air inlet aft fairing and opens
the door inward. A spring and two

retainers on the aft end of the forward


cable returns the handle to the stowed
position. An adjustable stop provides
for cable travel adjustment and air
bypass door rigging.
On 500N installation, the FILTER
BYPASS CONTROL handle in the crew
compartment disengages one door latch
inside the air inlet aft fairing and opens
the door inward. Adjustment of this
cable installation is limited by reposi
tioning the cable assembly.

ENGINE AIR PARTICLE SEPARATOR


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Description and Operation
(1). The optional engine air particle separa
tor is mounted above the engine air
inlet plenum. Intake air is cleaned by
the particle separator to prevent dirt or
foreign objects from entering the
engine.
(2). Dirt is separated from the intake air by
centrifugal force created by the particle
separator vortex tubes. Clean air passes
through the tubes to the engine inlet
plenum.
(3). The separated dirt is removed from the
inside of the particle separator with
pressurized engine compressor bleed
air. A solenoid shutoff valve is activated

from a switch in the cockpit and bleed


air comes from the cabin heat system.
Pressure from the bleed air draws the
dirt out of the particle separator and
exhausts it through the ejectors.
(4). A differential pressure switch is
mounted with a reference to inside and
outside of the particle separator.
Blockage of the particle separator will
cause a pressure decrease on the engine
plenum side and the switch will
activate a warning light in the cockpit.
(5). A cable from the cockpit is manually
operated to open an engine bypass door
which allows unfiltered air into the
engine inlet plenum if the particle
separator is blocked.

ENGINE IGNITION CONTROL SYSTEM


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Engine Ignition System Description and
Operation
(1). The engine ignition system consists of
switches, wiring, ignition exciter and an
igniter plug.
(2). Engine ignition power may be provided
by the helicopter battery or external
auxiliary power as selected by battery
switch position. Later helicopters are
equipped with a standard start circuit
breaker that may be installed on earlier
machines.

CAUTION

Refer to the Pilot's Flight Manu


al for specific engine start proce

dures.

Secondary ignition circuit

WARNING voltage is lethal. Set battery

switch OFF, disconnect battery and ex


ternal power before working on sys
tem. Insulate all bare wires and cable
as required.
2. Automatic Reignition System
Description and Operation
(Ref. Figure 401) Engine automatic re-ignition
equipment is installed on all Model 369D
helicopters subsequent to S/N 1149 and all
369E/FF and 500N helicopters. The equipment
consists of a two-switch, four-lamp, indicating
latching cluster (XDS9), and a toggle switch
(S11) for operational testing of the re-ignition
system, mounted on the lower left side of the
instrument panel face. Relays K104 and K304,
and a diode isolator assembly (CR1 and CR2)
is located in the engine bay on the aft oleo
support fitting.

NOTE:
(3). Placing the battery switch in either
EXT PWR or BAT with the key switch
on, arms the start system. Pressing the
START switch on the collective stick
applies 24 Vdc to the starter/generator
and ignition exciter. The starter/genera
tor motors the engine gas producer to
start speed while the exciter simulta
neously provides a high voltage spark
across the igniter plug gap. At about
15% rpm, fuel is added to the sequence
by moving the throttle out of cutoff to
idle. START button release de-ener
gizes the ignition exciter and starter/
generator.
(4). See the Allison Engine Operation and
Maintenance manual for specific
ignition system maintenance informa
tion.
(5). Refer to Auto Re-ignition for wiring
data on the standard and automatic
ignition system option.

D For information relative to optional auto


matic re-ignition equipment installed on
369D helicopters prior to S/N 1150, refer
to Auto Re-ignition Initial Installation.
D For Instructions on modification to re-ig
nition equipment for full time operation
(Applicable to 369D helicopters, S/N 003 949 only), refer to Auto Re-ignition Modi
fication.
D On 369E helicopters 384 and subs, and
369FF helicopters 076 and subs auto reignition system has new design and op
erational differences.
D On 369E helicopter S/N 384 - 508, 369FF
helicopter S/N 076 - 091, and 500N heli
copters S/N 001 - 044 addition of air/
ground switch S522 and terminal boards
TB1001 and TB1003 are used. Relay
K304 and diodes CR1 and CR2 (located in
the engine bay on the oleo panel) isolators
are not used.

(1). The Automatic re-ignition is initiated


when the Engine Power Out Warning
(EPO) Unit senses an N1 speed of less
than 55 percent or an NR speed of less
than 98 percent (369D/E model helicop
ters) or 95 percent (369FF and 500N
model helicopter).
(2). When the EPO unit senses one or both,
re-ignition relay (K104) closes, which
completes a 28 volt circuit to the
ignition exciter (SQ300), generating
high voltage across the igniter. In
addition, audible and visual warning
circuits are energized.
(3). The auto re-ignition relay is de-ener
gized when the EPO unit senses the
appropriate N1 and NR speeds.
(4). Pressing a reset button resets the
warning light circuit (relay K304
opens).
(5). Automatic re-ignition is prevented
during normal start-up and shutdown
by an NR disable switch which senses
throttle position.

Revision 22

(6). Rotor/oil pressure switch S203 auto


matically arms the audio circuitry with
pressure.
(7). As the throttle is increased to the flight
idle position, the NR sensing function is
enabled after a time delay of 3.5
seconds. The NR sensing function
remains enabled until the throttle is
decreased through the ground idle
position.
(8). A re-ignition test switch, S11, provides
a ground test of the auto re-ignition
circuit. RE-IGN TEST switch S11
provides ground test of the auto
re-ignition circuit by bypassing the
main transmission pressure switch,
closing relay K104 to energize the
igniter.
(9). ENG OUT audio alarm only is disabled
when the generator switch is OFF (On
369E helicopter S/N 384 - 508, 369FF
helicopter S/N 076 - 091, and 500N
helicopters S/N 001 - 044 audio
warning is disabled by air/ground
switch S522).

(1). The RE-IGN TEST switch (S11)
provides for an OFF and two test
positions; GND (up) and FLT (center).
(2). Both horn and audible warnings are
disabled by ground/air switch (S522)
when the helicopter is on the ground,
except when RE-IGN TEST switch is
placed in the GND position.

NOTE: Conducting test with engine motoring


will require pushing the RE-IGN P RST in
dicator to reset the system (Refer to appro
priate PFM for in-flight test of system).
A. Normal Start
Verify system operation of normal starting
circuit by performing a normal start as
described in appropriate Pilot's Flight Manual.

(1). Set BATTERY/OFF/EXT PWR (master)
switch to OFF.

(3). The FLT position provides a complete


in-flight systems test by simulating a
fault of the N1 input to the EPO.

(2). Connect external 28 Vdc power.

(4). Both on-ground and in-flight tests can


be accomplished by selecting GND
position.

(4). Close ENG OUT circuit breaker.

(5). On-ground test requires RE-IGN


TEST switch in the GND position.

(3). Set master switch to EXT PWR.

NOTE: Closing ENG OUT circuit breaker pro


vides power at re-ignition relay K104.
(5). Set RE-IGN TEST switch to ON.

(a). With power applied, the ENG OUT


indicator should be flashing.

(6). Verify audible spark across engine


igniter gap.

(b). Press the press-to-test button and


all warning lights should illuminate
momentarily.

(7). Verify Re-ignition indicator lights.

(c). Set RE-IGN TEST switch to GND.

(9). Press Re-ignition indicator. Verify


indicator lamps go out.

(d). Verify horn, audio warning, RE-IGN


P RST indicator is illuminated and
engine igniter firing.
(e). Return switch to OFF, the system
should reset.

(8). Set RE-IGN TEST switch to OFF.

(10). Open ENG OUT circuit breaker.


(11). Set master switch to OFF.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Engine Cooling System Description and
Operation
(Ref. Figure 201 and Figure 202) Helicopter
engine and transmission oil cooler blower air is
used to cool engine exterior surfaces. After
passing through the oil coolers, the relatively
temperate air is redirected by a system of
supports, clamps, and ducts onto the ignition
exciter, engine gearcase, and compressor and
turbine section external surfaces. Exhaust air
is discharged overboard through a gap
between the engine exhaust pipe and engine
access doors.

ENGINE ANTIICING SYSTEM


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Engine AntiIcing System Description and
Operation
(1). Compressor inlet guide vanes and the
front bearing hub are the only compo
nents supplied anti-icing air on the
helicopter engines.
(2). Model 250-C20B Engines: The anti-ice
system consist of a manually operated
push-pull control cable, mechanical
anti-icing valve, air distribution tubing
and, attaching hardware. The poppettype anti-icing valve is mounted on the
engine compressor scroll and controls
compressor bleed air used for engine
anti-icing. The control cable is as
sembled of rigid and flexible sections
clamped along the right side of the
overhead cabin heat duct. Moving the
control handle forward opens the
anti-icing valve. Control handle travel
is approximately 1.44 inches (3.66 cm)
from OFF to ON. A detent holds the

handle in both ON and OFF positions.


There is no intermediate heat position.
(3). Model 250-C20/R2, 250-C30 and
250-C47 Engines: The engine installa
tions use an electrically controlled
anti-ice system. Compressor bleed air,
supplied to the inlet guide vanes and
the number one bearing housing, is
controlled by the ANTI-ICE circuit
breaker/switch, CB143 on the 369FF 500/600N, and CB122 on 369D/E
helicopters fitted with a 250-C20/R2
engine. Moving the console mounted
switch to ANTI-ICE de-energizes a
solenoid fastened to the engine heat
shield that controls the anti-icing
system.
(4). Refer to the applicable Allison engine
manual for additional engine anti-ice
information.

ENGINE POWER CONTROLS


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Engine Power Controls Description and
Operation
(1). The engine control system consists of
gas producer (N1) throttle controls and
power turbine (N2) governor controls.
The throttle twist grip mechanically
actuates a lever on the gas producer
fuel control that establishes a base line
from which the unit schedules metered
fuel to the gas producer portion of the
engine. An electrically operated trim
actuator and mechanical rpm droop
compensator in the main rotor collec
tive pitch control mechanism changes
power turbine governor lever position
when collective is increased or reduced
and when N2 speed increase or decrease
is commanded with the beep switch on
the collective stick. Either, or both
actions regulate power output by
biassing the gas producer fuel control to
increase or decrease fuel flow to
compensate for rotor system torque
requirements.
(2). Refer to the applicable Allison Engine
Operation and Maintenance Manual for
additional engine fuel system theory,
operation and maintenance data.
A. Power Turbine Governor Controls
(1). Power turbine governor (N2) controls
include the N2 trim actuator controlled
by the beep switch on the pilot's
collective stick. Governor trim droop
control override components and
linkages are installed within the pilot's
seat structure. A fuselage routed
control rod assembly, engine compart
ment linkages, bellcranks and supports
transfer motion to the power turbine
governor. A droop control override
spring compensates for over-travel in
maximum collective pitch/speed
conditions.
B. Power Turbine Governor Trim Actuator
(1). The actuator consists of a reversible
continuous duty 26Vdc motor and gear

train driving a ram equipped with an


adjustable rod-end. The actuator,
operated by an N2 trim (beep) switch on
the collective pitch stick, moves gover
nor linkage that varies engine N2 speed
from 94 to 105% rpm. Operating stroke
of the actuator ram is approximately
1.00 inch (2.54 cm); speed is 0.15 inch
(3.81 mm) per second; travel time from
full retraction to full extension is
approximately 7 seconds. The actuator
is lubricated when manufactured and
requires no further lubrication service.
C. Gas Producer Controls
(1). The gas producer portion of the engine
is controlled by the pilot's throttle twist
grip which effects gas producer fuel
control lever position through a system
of torque tubes, gears, push-rods,
bellcranks, bellcrank support fittings,
levers and attaching hardware (Ref.
Figure 1).
(2). Refer to Allison Engine Operation and
Maintenance Manual for engine fuel
system theory, operation and mainte
nance data.
D. Rigging
(1). Rig engine control system prior to the
next flight when engine operation
reveals a rigging problem, or after
replacing any system component.

NOTE: Perform a deceleration time check per


pilot's flight manual after rigging and test
ing power turbine controls. Refer to Allison
Operation and Maintenance Manual for ad
justment procedures if deceleration time is
less than allowable minimum.
(2). Rig gas producer controls per (Ref. Sec.
76-20-00).
(3). Rig power turbine governor controls per
(Ref. Sec. 76-10-00).

POWER TURBINE GOVERNOR CONTROLS


MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Engine Governor Control Rigging
(Ref. Figure 201)

NOTE: The rigging procedures for the C20B,


C20R/2 and C30 engine controls are similar,
differing mostly in adjustments.

CAUTION
D Do not make any adjustments to governor
stops, adjustment screws or nut positions.
D Replace worn linkage components prior to
rigging engine controls or adjusting en
gine fuel controls. Several worn rod-end,
fitting and bellcrank bearings in the gov
ernor control system compound otherwise
minimal lost motion. Loose control sys
tems will not hold rigging adjustments,
and if continued in service may result in
engine power creep, hunting or flame out.

NOTE: Gas producer throttle control tube, in


terconnect torque tube, collective pitch
stick, interconnecting collective pitch torque
tube and linkage maintenance practices are
covered under `Main Rotor Flight Controls'
(Ref. Sec. 67-10-00) and `Gas Producer Con
trols' (Ref. Sec. 76-20-00).
(1). Disconnect control rod between idler
bellcrank and governor lever at idler
bellcrank. Secure rod to avoid damage.

CAUTION
D 250-C20R/2 engines equipped with a
2524667-13 engine governor require re
moval of the 369A7717-5 droop compen
sation adjustment fork and installation of
the longer 369A7717-3 fork to achieve
the necessary 1/2% to 1% droop com
pensation (approximately 2% for 500N).

D 250-C30 engine installations may re


quire replacement of the 369A7717-3
droop compensation adjustment fork to
the longer 369A7717-7 fork to achieve
the necessary 1/2% to 1% droop compen
sation. Upon installation of the longer
369A7717-7 fork assembly, ensure that
no interference occurs between the collec
tive torque tube and the 369A7712 link
assembly. Also check between the pro
truding end of the droop fork and N2 ac
tuator.
D To identify forks with obscured part num
bers, measure distance between threaded
shank end-flat to clevis bolt hole center:
369A7717-3 fork:
3.00 inches (76.20 mm)
369A7717-5 fork:
2.63 inches (66.802 mm)
369A7717-7 fork:
3.87 inches (98.298 mm).
(2). Set the initial reference dimension
between center of Sta. 68.00 bellcrank
pivot bolt and droop compensation fork
clevis bolt-center.

collective stick lengthwise centerline. If
gear is not properly positioned, remove
gearbox side plate and reposition the
gear.

NOTE: When a ring adjustment is made, check


engagement of ring gear and pinion. Cutout
in ring gear should face aft with throttle in
CLOSED position. When dual controls are
in installed, check for override or interfer
ence between collective stick assemblies
with with the throttle grip in the CLOSED
and FULL OPEN position. Return throttle
grip to MID travel position.
(6). Find and remove all lost motion in the

ances between the gas producer intercon
nects and torque tube assemblies are correct
and all backlash removed to assure accurate
rigging of the fuel control system.
(7). Check idler for interference with its
support.
(8). Adjust Sta. 73.00 control rod length so
that lower arm of Sta. 70.00 bellcrank
is parallel to seat structure (Detail B).
(9). Adjust fuselage-routed control rod
length so that bolt center in lower arm
of Sta. 129.00 bellcrank is 4.97-5.03
inches (12.624-12.776 cm) from Sta.
124.00 firewall bulkhead.
(10). Move throttle to CUT-OFF.
(11). Adjust the fuselage routed control rod
to provide a gap of 0.010-0.050 inch
(0.254-1.270 mm) between Sta. 129.00
bellcrank upper arm and support
fitting. Push the rod and bellcrank
toward the firewall bulkhead to remove
all friction errors before checking gap.

NOTE:
D Bendix Fuel Control: Pointer position
may range from 0 to 10 when contacting
the CUT-OFF stop, depending on calibra
tion settings peculiar to the fuel control.
D Bendix fuel control lever and shaft serra
tions are at 15 intervals.
(12). Set fuel control lever against CUT-OFF
stop. Pointer position should range
between the 0 and 10 quadrant
marks. Set the fuel control throttle

Governor and fuel control levers


can be erroneously installed on
the wrong fuel system component shaft.
Governor lever is relatively short with an
offset angle of about 65. Fuel control lever
offset angle is a more moderate 38.

CAUTION

(14). Move throttle twist grip from wide open


to CUT-OFF to ensure that the throttle
lever is contacting open and closed fuel
control mechanical stops. Adjust gas
producer lever control rod as required
to cause lever contact. Do not adjust
stops.
(15). Turn pilot's throttle to maximum rpm,
then to idle.
(16). Bendix Fuel Control: With pilot's
throttle held at idle, adjust gas produc
er lever control rod until gas producer
pointer is at 30 (View C).
(17). CECO Fuel Control: With pilot's
throttle held at idle, adjust gas produc
er lever rod until gas producer pointer
is at 30 to 32.

CAUTION
D Do not alter gas producer lever position or
control linkage to adjust idle speed. Idle
speed is to be checked during engine op
erational test and adjusted with fuel con
trol idle screw, not with the linkage.
D Check linkage at extreme travel posi
tions. Ensure gas producer lever hits fuel
control mechanical stops before throttle
twist grip stops are contacted.
D Interference or binding anywhere in link
age is not allowed.
D Be sure that linkage movement is clear of
wires, tubes and hoses.
(18). Rotate pilot's throttle counterclockwise
to maximum rpm.
(19). Make sure gas producer lever strikes
maximum speed stop.
(20). Raise collective stick to up stop.
(21). Gas producer lever must remain in
contact with maximum speed stop; if
lever comes off stop, check gas producer
controls for binding.
(22). Release idle detent and roll pilot's
throttle to CUT-OFF. Make sure that

gas producer lever strikes CUT-OFF
stop.
(23). Lower collective stick. Ensure gas
producer lever does not move off
CUT-OFF stop.
(24). When dual controls are installed, move
copilot's throttle twist grip to its idle
stop. Fuel control pointer shall not be
more than 5/64 inch (1.9844 mm) below
the idle degree mark specified for a
Bendix fuel control (30) or a CECO
fuel control (30 to 32) as applicable.
(25). Have an assistant cycle the throttle
from CUT-OFF to wide open. Ensure
control rods do not roll over or jam
when linkage is at extreme travel
positions.

NOTE: Refer to your Allison Operation and


Maintenance Manual for complete gas pro
ducer fuel control rigging procedures to

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1. Description and Operation
Engine exhaust is ducted through a tailpipe
bolted to the engine exhaust duct flange and
supported by a flexible link mounting attached
to the aft fuselage. Figure 201 shows the
exhaust system and mounting details.
2. Exhaust System Replacement
(Ref. Figure 201)
A. Exhaust System Removal
(1). Detach tailpipe from engine exhaust
duct by removing:
(a). Six nuts, bolts, and 12 washers from
exhaust pipe side flanges.
(b). Two nutplate strips, 14 bolts and
washers from exhaust pipe fore and
aft flanges.
(2). Loosen the tensioning bolt passing
through the hanger torsion spring
mandrel.
(3). Disengage the adjuster from the spring
pin.
Whenever tailpipes are re
moved, cover engine exhaust
ducts with clean covers to prevent entry of
foreign materials into turbine section of en
gine.

CAUTION

(4). Remove tailpipe and gasket.


(5). Visually inspect bottom of upper aft
section firewall for contact marks with
discoloration, holes or tears. Pay
particular attention to firewall blanket
retainer clips at Sta. 155.75 fuselage
ring.
B. Exhaust System Installation
(1). Remove protective cover from engine
exhaust duct.
(2). Install gasket onto engine exhaust
flange.

Support aft ends of tailpipe dur


ing installation. Displacement
from proper mounting position may damage
forward mounting flanges.

CAUTION

(3). Place tailpipe over engine exhaust duct


and secure with nuts, nutplate strips,
bolts and washers; torque bolts to 36 46 inch-pounds (4.07 - 5.20 Nm)
plus drag torque.
(4). Install duct with duct clamp link
standing vertical.
(5). When viewed from left side of helicop
ter. turn torsion spring adjuster 150
15 degrees clockwise and engage
spring pin in nearest hole in adjuster.
(6). Tighten tensioning bolt to adjust
spring.
(7). Inspect for no contact between top of
exhaust and firewall retainer clips at
Sta. 155.75 fuselage ring.

NOTE: If installing a new exhaust gasket, the


exhaust bolts should be retorqued after first
flight. If bolts are found to be loose, retorque
after every flight until bolts retain torque.
3. Exhaust System Inspection
(Ref. Figure 201)
(1). Inspect for cracks and broken weld
seams.
(2). Inspect for dents and bends.

ENGINE OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM


DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Engine Oil Supply System Description
and Operation
A. Oil Supply System Description
(1). MDHI helicopters feature a dry sump,
air cooled, recirculating engine oil
system consisting of an oil tank, oil
temperature sender, oil cooler/heat
exchanger and air duct, thermostat,
drain valve, check valve, hoses, tubes,
fittings and attaching hardware.
B. Oil Supply System Operation
(1). Hot oil scavenged from the engine is
pumped through a one way check valve
into the oil cooler. Oil cooler blower air
at ambient temperature is ducted
through the cooler/heat exchanger. The
oil cooler reduces oil temperature to
approximately 185F (86C). Cooled oil
is returned to the oil tank. Oil drawn
from the tank by the suction side of the
engine driven pump is then distributed
through the engine under pressure to
cool and lubricate moving parts. The
heated oil drains into various engine
sumps, and the cycle is repeated.
(2). An all welded, spherical aluminum
alloy oil tank is fitted with a filler neck,
optional filler neck strainer, locking
cap, vent tube, oil inlet and outlet
fittings, temperature sender, sight plug
and mounting support bosses. A
replaceable sight plug provides oil
quantity information at a glance.

(3). The oil cooler is an all aluminum,


radiator-type heat exchanger. A
thermostat in the oil cooler set at 140 180F (60 - 82C) returns cold oil
directly to the tank, bypassing the
cooler until the oil has reached operat
ing temperature. The oil cooler also
features a pressure-relief bypass valve
that opens at 25-30 psi (172-207 kPa)
and a one way ball type check valve
mounted on the oil cooler inlet fitting
that prevents oil from flowing back into
the engine after shut down.
(4). A fiberglass duct guides cooling air
from the oil cooler blower to the oil
cooler.
(5). The oil supply system drain valve is
mounted on a bracket below the oil
cooler. Tubes from the oil tank, oil
cooler and overboard drain are con
nected to the drain valve which is
spring-loaded closed.

NOTE: DN-72.1 discloses installation proce


dures modifying early 369D helicopter oil
tank and cooler drains for easier access.
(6). All oil supply system hoses and tubes
are lightweight assemblies incorporat
ing permanent fittings. Hoses installed
near the engine are equipped with fire
shields.
(7). Refer to the applicable Allison Engine
Operation and Maintenance Manual for
specific engine oil system information
(Ref. Sec. 01-00-00).
