(2) If the lubrication operation has removal and installation of a component, for the
repair or replacement, you must do the lubrication procedure as follows:
(a) Make sure that you clean the hinge points with 11024 (Degreasing Solvent) and
lubricate them before the MLG is operated.
(b) If there is high resistance on the PUMP - HAND GREASE during the lubrication
procedure:
1 Examine the lubricating fittings and the related hinge points.
2 If you cannot find the cause of this resistance, remove and examine the
hinge points.

(c) Put a sufficient quantity of grease into each lubrication fitting to fully remove all
the used grease.
(d) Where possible, move the hinge in one direction and then back again during
lubrication to fill the grease easily.
(e) Clean the lubrication fittings and the hinge points with a Cotton Rag to remove
the unwanted grease.

NOTE: The lubrication fittings are of two types:

- MS 15001
- NAS 516-1A.

Ref. Fig. Lubrication of the MLG Door Points

CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN ELECTRICAL OR PNEUMATIC TOOL.

C. Lubrication of the MLG Doors

(1) Lubricate the MLG doors with 04004B (Synthetic grease high pressure).
(2) Make sure that all the points (1-2-3-4-5) are free from contamination, before you
apply grease on the MLG door hinges, hinge pin, folding door hinges and the two
ends of the MLG-door adjustable-rod attachment-link.
(3) Clean the MLG door hinges, hinge pin, folding door hinges and the two ends of the

mixed and go into the hinge assembly.

(5) Lubricate the MLG-door-rod attachment link (3) and (4) with 04004B (Synthetic
grease high pressure).

SUBTASK 122232-30000070001
Ref. Fig. Sealing Compound General-Visual-Inspection for Integrity
D. General Visual Inspection of U-Joint
(1) Make sure that the 09002D (Polysulfide sealant fast curing) bead around the two
bushes are not removed. The possible conditions are as follows:

(b) The 09002D (Polysulfide sealant fast curing) is removed and the bushes are not
in their initial positions.
(c) The 09002D (Polysulfide sealant fast curing) is not removed.

(2) Do the procedure related to the inspection results:

NOTE: Although the sealing compound bead has a crack, the positions of the bushes
do not change. If there is a crack in the sealing compound bead, the sealing
compound bead will not show that the bushes are moved. The sealing can
show signs of crack because of its usual aging process. Thus, it is not
necessary to replace the sealing bead that shows this specified sign given
that the bushes are in their initial positions. If you are not sure, remove the
sealing bead (refer the procedure below mentioned) for a better inspection or
speak to messier-dowty or AI(R) product support.

(a) Remove the remaining used sealant with a SPATULA.

(b) Clean the parts with 11024 (Degreasing Solvent) and apply the 09002D
(Polysulfide sealant fast curing) again.
(c) Speak to messier-dowty or AI(R) product support immediately for next
instructions.

NOTE: In this condition, the aircraft is airworthy. Thus, it can fly while you wait
for next instructions from messier-dowty or AI(R) product support.

(d) No other maintenance is necessary until the next check A.

5. Close-Up
