CAUTION: Do not proceed unless the universal block has been assembled
(shimmed) in accordance with paragraph 9-3, C.
(9) Check the flapping bearing drag resistance at the blade pin. Initially, the grip should
not stay up. Add shim thickness in 0.005 inch increments to achieve sufficient
resistance to hold the grip in the up-stop position at 150 ft-lbs/203.4 Nm. Remove
one shim and verify the flapping bearing moves freely.
(10) Secure the nut by bending one of the tabs on the lockwasher (4) into a slot in the nut.
(11) Lubricate the retention assembly (para. 4-28).
(12) Install the main rotor damper (para. H), connect the pitch change link to the pitch
change bellcrank and the pitch horn, and install the main rotor blade (para. 9-13).
NOTE:
Paragraph G reserved for future use.
