ÂÃ homing antenna, transmission,
main rotor blades and engine inlet are
the same as previously done on the

Ähe filler cap on the hydraulic
reservoir must have a nylon hinge

button is extended, push that little
rascal back and write it up in the log
book. Êf the red button is extended on

Âocus on the torque tÎbe. Make sure
there are no bends or dents because a
damaged tube will prevent freedom of

tube has to be shimmed to provide a
0.003-0.020-in clearance between the
bracket bearing and tube, according to
Para
4±97
of the maintenance pub.
