of
143
cables
and
connectors
require
special
care
and
attention
from
the
operator
to
be
kept
in
operating
condition.
15.
‐
Visual
inspection
of
the
cables
and
connectors
must
be
carried
out
in
every
preflight
check
and
at
the
proper
intervals
indicated
in
the
Maintenance
Schedule
(Reference:
AMM
Sheet
015).
16.
‐
In
this
inspection
operator
must
visually
check
the
full
length
of
the
cables,
looking
carefully
for
any
signs
of
wear
or
ripped
off
sheath.
Exposed
or
cut
wires
are
reason
for
immediate
substitution.
Cables
must
be
clean
and
dry
from
oil
or
moisture.
Sand
or
grit
must
be
cleaned
out
as
well,
as
it
contributes
to
premature
wear
of
the
cable.
Operator
must
pay
special
attention
in
the
surroundings
of
connectors
as
cables
are
most
likely
to
break
in
those
zones.
17.
‐
Connectors
must
be
carefully
inspected
as
well.
All
pins
in
male
connectors
should
be
straight
and
leveled.
They
also
must
be
clean
and
dry.
Operator
will
avoid
letting
the
connectors
fall
or
lay
on
the
ground
as
sand
or
dirt
could
ingress
and
cause
malfunctions.
Special
contact
cleaner
(Such
as
‘WD
‐
40
Electrical
Contact
Cleaner’
or
similar)
should
be
used
if
the
contactors
(pins
or
sockets)
are
found
to
be
wet
or
dirty.
Connectors
on
panels
or
equipment
that
are
subject
to
repeated
connections
are
likely
to
be
inspected
and
cleaned
as
well.
Locking
rings
must
move
smoothly
with
no
signs
of
binding
or
gritting.
