JACKING
When a requirement exists to jack the entire airplane off the ground, or
when wing jack points are used in the jacking operation, refer to the
208 Maintenance Manual, Chapter 7-10-0, Jacking - Maintenance
Practices, for specific procedures and equipment required.
Several jack points or jacking locations are available depending on
whether a cargo pod is installed. The nose wheel jack point is located
directly below the firewall at FS 100.0 and housed within the nose gear
strut fairing. This jack point is accessible for nose gear jacking
regardless of the installation of a cargo pod. The two fuselage jack
points are located at the main gear supports, but are not accessible
with the cargo pod installed. Their use is generally reserved for
maintenance such as main gear removal or raising the entire airplane
whenever the cargo pod is not installed.
Anytime the cargo pod is installed, if the main gear to fuselage fairings
are removed, jacks can be positioned adjacent to the sides of the cargo
pod and raised to engage the receptacle on the end of the jacks over
the head of the outboard bolt which secures the main gear attach
trunnion bearing cap (aft) on the left and right gear. These jacking
locations serve essentially the same purpose as the fuselage jack
points at the main gear supports. An additional jack point on each main
gear axle fitting is used primarily when the cargo pod is installed and it
is desired to jack a single main gear for tire replacement, etc. If desired,
jack stands with wing jack pads may be fabricated so that the front wing
spar at WS 141.2 or 155.9 on each wing may be used as jacking
locations. A tail jack must be used in conjunction with wing jacking.
