9.5 GFC 700 VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the access panels according to OEM maintenance documentation.
2.
Inspect the servos, connectors, support structures, and control cables to ensure that no
corrosion, chaffing, cracks, or other defects exist.
3.
Manually move the ailerons (for roll servo), elevators (for pitch servo), elevator trim wheel
(for pitch trim servo), and rudder pedals (for yaw servo) from stop to stop and observe the
servo, capstan, and control surface rigging. Ensure there is no binding in the control cabling,
and that the capstan pulleys rotate freely.
4.
Check the servo control cables to ensure no fraying, corrosion, or other damage exists.
Replace the cable if the condition is questionable. Check the tension of each servo control
cable. Refer to the OEM Maintenance documentation for cable tension specifications.
5.
Inspect the GFC 700 system wiring to ensure no chaffing, wear, or other damage exists.
NOTE
Clean and apply grease Aeroshell 33MS (preferred), or Aeroshell 17 to
output gear every 1000 hours or 3 years, whichever comes first.
9.6 GSA 8(X) GREASING PROCEDURE
NOTE
It is not necessary to remove all of the grease from the output gear, only
the excess grease. Do not use solvents to clean the output gear.
1.
Remove each servo.
2.
Remove excess grease build-up from the single servo output gear using a lint-free cloth.
3.
Apply a thin coat of grease to the servo output gear using a brush or other applicator (see
note above).
4.
Re-install the servos.
5.
Rotate control surfaces through their range of motion to ensure freedom of movement.
