II) Retract powerplant almost completely
10. Disconnect the electrical connections at the firewall:
a) Disconnect the multiple plug of the wiring set (from serial no. 8-
103 on installed in the firewall behind a cover plate).
b) Only with EGT-option: Cut off the Ty-raps which secure the-2
plugs for the EGT probes and unplug the probes.
c) Now arrange all wires in a way to enable easy removal of the
powerplant from the engine bay. For this purpose it might be
necessary to remove some further Ty-raps.
11. Separation of the extension/retraction unit from the propeller mount:
a)
Disconnection of gas-strut from the powerplant s. section 4.14.
b) Spindle drive: Retract powerplant until the propeller mount is
approx. in horizontal position. Unscrew the bolt which fixes the
fork to the spindle drive. Then lift the powerplant a little by hand
to pull out the bolt and let down the powerplant into the engine
bay.
12. Bend up the securing washers at the two bolts at the hinge axis of the
propeller mount. Unscrew the bolts with a 19mm socket wrench, lift
the powerplant to minimize the load on the bolts and remove them
including the brass bushes. Finally lift the powerplant out of the
fuselage with two persons.
