PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY MEASURES
WARNING: Do not use permanent marker on anodized (eloxated) parts!
CAUTION: Do not use sticky labels on aluminium or composite parts as they may be difficult to remove!
PROCEDURES
1 Inspect for cracks in the blade root area, especially in the area of the inner attachment bore (see Fig. 1
"Critical Area"). In case of any cracks the complete rotor system must be replaced.
2 Check each rotor blade in its root section for linearity. In order to do place each rotor blade with the nose
section facing down on the support stands and measure gap with an aluminium ruler in 1 m distance from the
inner end (see Fig. 2). Maximum allowed gap (dimension A) is 0.5 mm (LTA DULV-2010-004).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to avoid measuring errors draw a straight and parallel line 200
mm from the trailing edge. Use a lead pencil. Do not use permanent marker on anodized
(eloxated) parts!
