•
Inspect the brake disks surface for signs of oil and other liquids.
•
Replace brake system control parts as follows.
1. For the check valve C9997257D (Check valve L-RV6-11-1/8-MSv), Fig. 4, carry out
operations of the chapter IV and check the system.
2. For the parking brake C9997419A (Fuel valve K-MI-561-1/8-22-II-MSV), Fig. 2 and Fig.
3) carry out operations of the chapter IV and check the system.
3. For the brake cylinder KA7030100 (Brake cylinder) (item 3, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) carry out

4.2.3.4.3 Procedure
One person is required.
Visually check the system for integrity and tightness.
Make sure the brake control handle (item 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) is in most forward position.
Make sure the aircraft is not set on parking brake, i.e. the valve C9997419A (Fuel valve K-MI-561-1/8-22-
II-MSV) (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) is open and the handle of the valve is aligned to aircraft longitudinal axle.
Place a can under the tank (item 1, Fig. 1) C9997813G (Fuel Filter 5/16’’) to collect brake fluid in case of
overfilling.
Fig. 5
To fill the brake system do the following.
1. Using a piece of tube C9997205R (6x4 nylon tube) connect a 0.35 pint / 200 ml syringe filled with
brake fluid without air bubbles.
2. Unscrew the connector A 1 to 2 turns on the right wheel using a 7x8 wrench (Fig. 5).
3. Fill the lines with brake fluid so that it goes further 4” / 10cm from the tee fitting C9997205Q
(Fig.4), that connects the lines from the right and left wheels, towards the brake cylinder
KA7030100 Brake cylinder (item 3, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).
4. Tighten the connector A (Fig. 5) using a 7x8 wrench up to torque 80 lb-in / 9 Nm). Disconnect the
syringe.
5. Totally refill the syringe with the brake fluid with no bubbles and carry out operations 1 through 3
for the left wheel so that C9997813G (Fuel Filter 5/16’’ (item 1, Fig. 1) is ¾ full.
6. Screw in the connector A (Fig. 5) by a 7x8 wrench.
7. Move the brake control handle back and forth 5 to 8 times (items 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3). Note if
there are air bubbles in the line nearby the caliper C9997205U (Caliper)
