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
manual override 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 manual override 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 manual metering actuating lever. 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 manual metering actuating lever 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.
(7) Adjust manual override lever control per Adjustment, below.
(8) Verify engine performance per Engine Performance Check, above.
(9) Before pressurized flight, perform a Pressurization System Test per 21-30-00.
C. Adjustment
(1) If a new or used cable has been installed with the cable ends adjusted to pre-removal
measurements (see Removal, above) and no other adjustments were made to the fuel control
unit no further adjustment is required.
(2) If a new or used cable has been installed without cable ends adjusted to pre-removal
measurements, and/or additional adjustments or replacements were made to the fuel control
unit, proceed as follows:
(a) Working at either or both cable ends, as required, adjust cable length so that the FCU
manual metering actuating lever moves stop to stop when the manual override lever is
moved stop to stop in the pedestal.
(b) In the cockpit, place the manual override lever in the OFF position. The knob should be
down and locked behind the detente.
(c) Verify that the engine manual override input lever is against the shutoff stop (i.e. - in the
OFF position - see Figure 1). If not, adjust the control cable clevis rod end to achieve
contact with the stop.
(d) In the cockpit, place the manual override lever in the FULL POWER position. Set the
engine manual override input lever to have a .125 inch gap between the lever and the
maximum speed stop (Figure 1).
NOTE: Final adjustment of the manual override maximum speed stop must be checked
(e) In the cockpit, return the manual override lever to the OFF position.
