the rear. Slide the hang point adjustment sleeves,
RAP stop ring (D263010),
and the hang
bracket onto the keel.

Do not use any oil, grease, or silicone spray to lubricate the hang-bracket, as this will serve
only to collect abrasive dirt after a short time in service.
•
Secure the adjustment sleeves,
RAP stop ring (D263010),
in the front hang-point location ,
with their bolts,
screw CHC 6-80 (B068310),
inserted from the left side. Insert all bolts in
the vicinity of the hang-bracket from the left to ease pre-flight checks.
