Condition Lever Cable

A. Removal
(1) Remove pedestal cover (i.e. - in cockpit) and open right engine access gull-wing door.
(2) At each end of cable, measure distance from center of clevis or rod end, respectively, to cable
mounting clip. These measurements will simplify reinstallation. Additionally, take note of which
hole the cable assembly is connected to, if the actuating lever provides more than one option.
(3) In the engine compartment:
(a) Remove cotter pin, nut and bolt and disconnect cable assembly rod end from fuel control
unit (FCU) cut-off and idle reset linkage.
(b) Slide cable assembly from cable assembly end retaining clip and, working towards the
pressure bulkhead, free the cable from all additional mounting clamps, clips or brackets.
(4) In the cockpit:
(a) Remove cotter pin, washer and clevis pin and disconnect cable assembly clevis from
condition lever assembly.
(b) Slide cable assembly from cable assembly end retaining clip and, working towards the
pressure bulkhead, disconnect the cable from all additional mounting clamps, clips or brackets.
(c) At the pressure bulkhead, open the pressure bulkhead feed-thru by removing eight nuts
and washers and three screws and six washers.
(d) Pull the cable through the pressure bulkhead and remove it from the airplane.
B. Installation
(1) Set the cable end lengths to the dimensions measured in Removal, above.
(2) In the cockpit:
(a) Slide the rod end of the cable assembly through the pressure bulkhead feed-thru into the
engine compartment.
(b) Take the clevis end of the cable assembly and route it up through the pedestal to the
condition lever assembly. Fit the cable loosely into its mounting clamps, clips or brackets
along the way.
(c) Slide the cable assembly into the cable assembly end retaining clip and secure the clevis
to the condition lever assembly with pin, washer and cotter pin.
(3) In the engine compartment:
(a) Take the rod end of the cable assembly and route it up through the engine compartment
to the FCU cut-off and idle reset linkage. Fit the cable loosely into its mounting clamps,
clips or brackets along the way.
(b) Slide the cable assembly into the cable assembly end retaining clip and secure the rod
end to the FCU cut-off and idle reset linkage with bolt, nut and cotter pin. Refer to removal
notes and be sure to connect the rod end to the same hole in the actuating lever
previously used.
(4) With both cable ends secured, secure all mounting clamps, clips or brackets along the
remainder of the cable length.
(5) From the cockpit side of the pressure bulkhead, secure the pressure bulkhead feed-thru with
three screws, six washers and eight nuts and washers. Take care to ensure that the feed-thru
seal is in good condition and properly installed.
(6) Replace pedestal cover (i.e. - in cockpit) and close right engine access gull-wing door.
