This subsection describes the following maintenance procedures:
•
Cleaning light channel and prism
•
Retorquing mounting bolts
•
Removing L-868 base water
•
Lifting inset unit off of the L868 base
NOTE: Before replacing inset
•
Testing for leaks
To clean the light channel and prism, perform the following procedure:
1.
See Figure 2-1. Use a suitable fiber brush to remove all accumulated debris
from the light channel (4).
2.
Clean the outer surface of the prism (3) using liquid glass cleaner. If the
prism is coated with a substance impervious to the cleaner, apply a suitable
solvent sparingly with a wad of cotton or a patch of cloth. After the solvent
has acted, remove the softened coating with a clean piece of cotton or cloth.
Dry the prism with gently, dry, oil-free compressed air at a pressure no
greater than 10 psi (69 KNt/m
2
) to evaporate or remove all remaining cleaner.
To retorque mounting bolts, perform the following procedure:
1.
If thread locking adhesive is used, apply only one drop of Grade AV Loctite
®
to each of the six 3/8-inch (9.525-mm-) diameter mounting bolts. Torque the
bolts to 185
±
5 inch-pounds (20.902
±
0.565 Nt-m).
NOTE:
When Grade AV Loctite
®
is used, the bolts must be torqued to 185
±
5 inch-pounds.
CAUTION:
Remove all debris found on all mounting surfaces of the light base
or associated spacers, flange rings, etc., before installing the light fixture. Failure
to remove debris can induce damaging stresses in the light fixture when the
mounting bolts are torqued and the fixture is subjected to aircraft roll over loads.
