Figure 5-69. Leak Check Fitting

18. Leak check according to instructions detailed in MI-0000395. Check along the interfaces between the

Viewport Glass and the Viewport, Viewport and Viewport Adapter, and the Viewport Adapter and the
FF.

Figure 5-70. Leak Checking of Viewport

19. When the assembly has been determined to be leak free, release the outer pins on both sides of the

forklift as shown below, then with the aid of another technician, flip the FF upside down. Secure the
FF by reinserting the retaining pins back into the brackets.
