Task Instructions
1. Unless already performed, remove any interior panels needed to gain access to the actuator. (Right Instrument Panel Top Panel Removal)(Removal and Installation of Inspection Panels and Fairings)
2. Jack the aircraft so that the landing gear is clear of the ground. (Jack Aircraft)
3. If adjustment of the extended position is necessary, adjust rigging by loosening jam nut and adjusting thumbscrew (ICA016069).
a. Partially extend/retract the landing gear.
b. Loosen the jam on the stop bolt/thumbscrew
c. Adjust the stop bolt/thumbscrew in or out as required.
d. Hold the head of the stop bolt/thumbscrew and carefully torque the jam nut to 13-17 in-lbs.
e. Repeat as necessary to achieve rig (see Related Tasks).
4. Replace the interior panels, extend the landing gear, and lower the aircraft off the jacks. (Right Instrument Panel Top Panel Installation)(Removal and Installation of Inspection Panels and Fairings)
Verification Method
Power up the aircraft, and actuate the landing gear to verify adjustment.
