E. Should tension be incorrect, loosen the turnbuckle of the lower cable in the aft section of the
fuselage and adjust the turnbuckle of the upper cable to obtain correct tension. Cable tension
should be obtained with the control wheel at the one-half + 1/4 inch dimension from the stop and
the stabilator contacting its stop.
F. Check safety of all turnbuckles and bolts.
G. With the tension of the upper cable correct and the control wheel still forward, adjust the
turnbuckle of the lower cable to obtain correct tension.
H. Check the full travel of the control wheel with relation to the full travel of the stabilator to
determine that the stabilator contacts its stops before the control wheel contacts its stops. With the
control wheel in the fore and aft positions, the travel distance from the point where the stabilator
contacts its stops and the control wheel contacts its stops should be approximately equal. Readjust
turnbuckles if incorrect.
I. Reinstall access panels.
4. Remove the airplane from jacks.
