SERVICE BULLETIN 84-32-74
B.  Reason
Problem: An operator of the Q400 aircraft has reported a recent incident in which the
right hand main landing gear (MLG) on one aircraft failed to extend using
the alternate gear extension system.
The MLG retracted normally following takeoff, however during climb the
gear door light illuminated momentarily. The aircraft continued to its
destination and the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) was checked and
it was decided to perform an alternate gear extension.
After repeated unsuccessful attempts to extend the gear with the alternate
system, the gear was extended using the normal hydraulic system and the
aircraft landed uneventfully.
Cause:  Investigation determined that a lip on bump plate 85424082-101 & - 103,
located on the outboard main landing gear door, had snagged in the tread
groove on one of the tires preventing the doors from opening and the gear
from free falling to the extended position (refer to view on Figure 1).
Solution: This service bulletin introduces ModSum 4-113645. The ModSum trims
the edge of bump plate 85424082 to enlarge the chamfer thus eliminating
the possibility of snagging in the tread groove.
C. Description
The procedures in this service bulletin give the instructions to do the tasks that
follow:
- the aircraft is put into a maintenance configuration, all aircraft electrical power is
selected to OFF, MLG lock pins are installed, NG ground lock is engaged, hydraulic
systems pressure is depleted, the aircraft is raised on jacks and work stands are
set in position
- the bump plate in each nacelle is located and trimmed to form a smooth transition
radius (0.25 inch. min.)
- each bump plate is checked for cracks then treated with alodine, primed using
epoxy chromate primer and finished with a coat of polyurethane enamel
- each bump plate is re- identified with a new part number using an indelible marker
- deleted
- an operational check of the landing gear alternate extension system is done
- all tools and equipment are removed
- log book entries are made and the aircraft is returned to service.
