contaminates that may interfere with data transmission. Verify the cable support system is secured to the
A-Frame cabinetry

Lubricate the pitch arm bearings with multi-purpose wheel bearing grease. Inspect the mount root
area for possible fatigue or cracks using the non-destructive test method. See DET-050.
