BRAKE SYSTEM CABLE LINE
(See Fig. 3.9/3)
WARNING:
Position of the cables: The brake system of the M16 (M16C) model is doubled to satisfy the needs of
double control piloting and thus allow training requirements. There are three (1) different positions for
anchoring the cables on the brake pump pn 279. Usually these cables are placed in such a way as to
guarantee the most efficient braking to the skipper. It is important to carefully respect the position of
the cables so as not to alter the braking efficiency.

REPLACEMENT OF BRAKING SYSTEM CABLES
(See Fig. 3.9/3)
1.
Before starting verify that the engine's ignition key and push‐button are in OFF position and that all the
breakers are switched OFF;
2.
Cut the cable 1,5x2.000 and remove the cable terminal cap located close to the brake lever pn 135;
3.
Use a 7 mm wrench to loosen the cable retainer pn 107 that fastens the cable 1,5x2.000 to the brake
lever pn 135;
4.
Cut the cable below the deformation (2) caused by the tightening action of the retainer pn 107. This
deformation could make it difficult to remove the cable from the sheath pn 131;
5.
Extract the cable kern (3) from the lever pn 279/A of the brake pump pn 279. Therefore use a pin (4) to
apply lateral pressure;
6.
Extract the cable from the sheath pn 131 and from the lever of the pump pn 279;
7.
Visually check the cable. If there is no oxidation, the gyroplane has been used in optimal conditions, with
low humidity, it has been cleaned accurately, did not fly in the rain and was not parked in a makeshift
hangar;
