breakers are switched OFF;
2.
Cut the cable 1,5x3900 and remove the cable terminal protection pn 103 located close to the belt
tightening lever pn 415 of the pre‐rotation assembly pn 117;
3.
Use a 7 mm wrench to loosen the cable retainer pn 107 that fastens the cable to the fork pn 108;
4.
Cut the cable between the sheath and the deformation (1) caused by the tightening action of the retainer
pn 107. This deformation could cause some problem when doing step 8;
5.
Put the pre‐rotation control lever pn 415 in ON position so as to make it easier to extract the
cable1,5x3900;
6.
Completely extract the cable (3);
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;
