AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS
The Airworthiness Limitations Section is FAA approved and specifies inspections and other
maintenance required under §§ 43.16 and 91.403 of the Federal Aviation Regulations unless an
alternative program has been FAA approved.

(iv) Move the #1 TR drive shaft and flywheel assembly toward the engine. This
will allow use of a short socket to hold the bolt heads in the pulley recess.
(v) Complete installation of the nuts/bolts in the #2 coupling disc pack. Torque
per BHT-407-MM-7 procedure.
(vi) Move the #1 TR drive shaft and flywheel assembly aft, and insert the
previously removed beveled washers between the engine shaft flange and
coupling disc pack.
WARNING: The beveled washers must be reinstalled per instructions
in BHT-407-MM-7. Failure to insert the beveled
washers may result in failure of the Tail Rotor drive
shaft installation.
(vii) Complete coupling bolt installations in accordance with BHT-407-MM-7.
Refer to Section 3.5 for installation of the compressor. Check bearing disc
pack housing alignment in accordance with BHT-407-MM-7.
3.8 Condenser Removal
Reference: Figure 2.
Remove the screws from the louver panel installation on each side of the aircraft,
above the condenser installation. Remove lower inspection cover. Disconnect
electrical harness. Loosen and detach the inlet and outlet tube assemblies from the
condenser. Remove the screws from the bottom circumference of the condenser.
Turn the condenser assembly 180 degrees, to locate the inlet and outlet over the
inspection cover, and remove the condenser.
3.9 Condenser Installation
Reference: Figure 2.
Install condenser with the inlet and outlet under inspection cover opening. Lift up
into opening and rotate 180° to final position. Reinstall hardware to secure
condenser. Reattach inlet and outlet tube assemblies and torque according to the
torque list in Section 3.3. Reconnect electrical harness. Reinstall inspection cover.
Reinstall louver panels and secure using existing hardware.
NOTE: Lightly lubricate fittings with refrigerant oil before assembling.
Tighten fittings in accordance with Torque specifications outlined in Section
3.3.
3.10 Drier Bottle Removal
Reference: Figure 6.
Loosen tube assembly fittings from drier bottle installation and move the tubes
away. Loosen screws in clamps and remove drier bottle. Remove switch wires
from drier assembly.
3.11 Drier Bottle Installation
Reference: Figure 6.
Attach switch wires to the drier bottle. Reinstall the drier bottle into clamps and
tighten. Reattach tubing and torque all loose and/or replaced fasteners and fittings
per standardized torque values as shown in AC43-13.1, as revised.
NOTE: A new drier bottle should be installed each time the system is
discharged, or if any reason exists to believe that the dessicant is saturated. To
avoid saturation of the desiccant, the caps should be left on the inlet and outlet
of the drier until just prior to installation.
3.12 Evaporator Removal
Reference: Figures 4(FWD) and/or 5(AFT).
For forward or aft evaporator installations respectively, remove inlet and outlet line
fittings. Remove evaporator from its brackets.

All leak checks should be conducted with the air conditioner "off". Since refrigerant is
heavier than air, leaks are most likely detected on the underside of hoses and fittings.
Refrigerant will collect in low areas and may provide an erroneous leak indication. The
shop area should be well-vented prior to checking for leaks.
Page 13
PR-407AC-120M
Rev. 6, 11/30/2005
If a leak is detected at a fitting, check tightness and security of fitting, check for leaks again
and if the fitting still leaks drain the system down. Clean, inspect for defects, and reseat the
fitting. If a defective component or fitting is found, replace. Lubricate the fitting prior to
reassembly. Reference Precautionary Information in Section 2.7 Plumbing Installation.
A small amount of leakage (one ounce per year. past the compressor shaft seal is normal.
Most leak detectors are sensitive enough to show a leak of this magnitude.
6.1 Special Tools and/or Equipment Required
The following tools and/or equipment are required to leak check a refrigerant
plumbing system.
NOTE: These instructions give procedures applicable to a manually operated
refrigerant manifold/supply system. If automatic recovery/recycling/
recharging equipment is used follow equipment manufacturer's
recommendations.
6.1.1 Gaseous dry nitrogen, regulated source (0-500 psig).
6.1.2 R-134a refrigerant charging manifold with gauges and hoses.
6.1.3 Leak check fluid, (soap solution).
6.1.4 Assorted hand tools.
6.1.5 Hand and eye protection.
6.1.6 Thread sealant, P/N 55431 (Loctite).
6.2 Procedure
6.2.1 Remove all shrouds, panels, flooring and any other covering, which
prevents access to refrigerant fittings, connections or components.
6.2.2 Verify all aircraft and/or ground power is off.
6.2.3 Remove service port caps from the A/C system. The high and low pressure
service ports are located on the compressor suction header.
6.2.4 Close all manifold gauge valves and verify hose connections are tight.
6.2.5 Connect R-134a refrigerant charging manifold. R-134a service gauges
contain quick-connect fittings to minimize refrigerant loss. To install quick-
connect, push on firmly until locked (a “clicking” sound is heard). Hold the
grip ring an pull to remove quick-connect fittings.
6.2.6 Connect yellow charging hose to a regulated dry nitrogen source. Note: An
adapter is required to connect yellow charging hose to the nitrogen source.
6.2.7 Regulate nitrogen source to a pressure of 200 PSIG maximum.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 200 psi nitrogen pressure during leak check
procedure or damage to expansion valve will result.
6.5.8 Verify all plumbing connections are tight.
6.5.9 Slowly open high pressure (red) manifold valve and allow system pressure
to increase gradually until a pressure of 200 psig is achieved. Allow time
for system pressure to equalize across expansion valve and note final system
pressure.
CAUTION: During this procedure protective eye wear and gloves should
be worn to prevent operator injury.
6.5.10 Apply soapy leak check fluid to each connection to locate leaks.
CAUTION: Do not use any leak dye in R-134a system or damage to
system may result.
6.5.11 Use thread sealant on all male fitting threads (sparingly), staying off the first
two (2) threads near sealing surface. A light coating of R-134a refrigerant
oil must be applied to flare to prevent metal galling damage.
CAUTION: Do not apply oil to fitting threads.
