3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Task 534223-832-801-001 - Inspection
WARNING
: MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS
INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.
CAUTION
: ALWAYS OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS THAT FOLLOW TO KEEP
ELECTRICAL WIRING IN A SATISFACTORY CONDITION (ELECTRICALLY
AND MECHANICALLY SERVICEABLE) . WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE
WORK, REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS, ALWAYS KEEP ELECTRICAL WIRING,
COMPONENTS AND THE WORK AREA AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. TO DO
THIS:
PUT PROTECTION, SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING, CLOTHS, ETC; AS
NECESSARY ON WIRING AND COMPONENTS.
REGULARLY REMOVE ALL SHAVINGS, UNWANTED MATERIAL AND OTHER
CONTAMINATION.
THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL DECREASE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION
AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION.
IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.
NOTE
: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin include procedures given
in other documents or in other sections of the Service Bulletin. When the words
’refer to’ are used and the operator has a procedure accepted by the local authority
he belongs to, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words ’in
accordance with’ are used then the given procedure must be followed.
NOTE
: The access and close-up instructions, not comprising return to service tests, in this
Service Bulletin do not constitute or affect the technical intent of the Service
Bulletin. Operators can therefore, as deemed necessary, omit or add access and/or
close-up steps to add flexibility to their maintenance operations as long as the
technical intent of the Service Bulletin is met within the set parameters.
NOTE
: Manual titles given in the accomplishment instructions are referred to by acronyms.
Refer to paragraph 1.J., References, for the definition of acronyms.
NOTE
: The purpose of flow charts is to supplement the information given in the Procedure
and Compliance paragraphs and not to serve as the primary source for tasks or
compliance times given in this Service Bulletin.
NOTE
: This Service Bulletin is classified mandatory or expected to be classified mandatory
by an Airworthiness Directive (AD). The paragraphs 3.C. and 3.D. in these
accomplishment instructions are Required for Compliance (RC) and must be done
to comply with the AD. Other paragraphs are recommended and may be deviated
from, done as part of other actions or done with accepted methods different from
those given in the Service Bulletin, as long as the RC paragraphs can be done and
the aircraft can be put back into a serviceable condition.
