Inspection required before next flight and at each subsequent 25 hours of operation.

If no tab type lockwashers are installed, check tightness of engine mounting bolts to torque of 25 foot-pounds on 3/8-inch bolts and 30 foot-pounds on 7/16-inch bolts. If it is found that loosening has occurred it will be necessary to install tab type lockwashers under all engine mounting bolts.
