MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(4) Either balance cable may be removed by the following procedure:
(a) Remove the access panels from the cabin floor.
(b) Separate the balance cables at the turnbuckle located below the right side of the cabin
floor at F.S. 171.43.
(c) Disconnect the balance cable from the sector in the wing located at wing station 175.498
along the aft side of the rear spar.
(d) Remove the cable guards at the pulleys along the wing rear spar.
(e) Remove the control cable from the fuselage by removing the retaining rings on the fin
type air seal and pulling the cable from the fuselage.
B. Installation
(1) The installation of either the right or left primary control cable, located in the fuselage may be
accomplished as follows:
(a) Draw the cable through the floor, and around the pulleys at the forward pressure
bulkhead.
(b) Connect the cable end to the quadrant assembly at the forward end of the control column
and secure the cable end retainer (i.e. - lockplate) with a screw (see note below). Safety
the cable end retainer screw with MS20995-C32 safety wire.
NOTE: As of early 2006, the original MS35265-42 fillister head screw has been replaced
by a higher strength MS24674-8 (P/N 520-036) socket head screw. In earlier
airplanes, anytime the cable end retainer screws are removed, if the original
fillister head screws are still installed, they must be replaced with the socket head
screws upon reassembly. Additionally, when using the MS24674-8 (P/N 520-036)
socket head screws, torque to 12 to 15 in.-lbs.
(c) Ensure that the cable is properly placed around the pulley and install cable guards.
(d) Route cable around the pulley at fuselage station 171.43 and install cable guard.
(e) Connect cable turnbuckle to primary cable end from wing, and ensure proper rigging of
system.
(f) Install all access panels removed.
(2) The primary control cable in either wing may be installed by the following procedure:
NOTE: Make sure that fairlead P/N 89637-003 attaching nuts and washers are installed
against the aft wing spar just outboard of flap actuator push rod cutout, not on fairlead.
(a) Draw the central cable along the wing rear spar, ensuring proper routing around the
pulleys.
(b) Connect the end of the primary cable to the aileron sector at wing station 175.498 and
secure the cable end retainer (i.e. - lockplate) with a screw (see note below). Safety the
cable end retainer screw with MS20995-C32 safety wire.
NOTE: As of early 2006, the original MS35265-42 fillister head screw has been replaced
by a higher strength MS24674-8 (P/N 520-036) socket head screw. In earlier
airplanes, anytime the cable end retainer screws are removed, if the original
