Job Set-up Subtask 12-14-32-941-062-A A. Safety Precautions (1) Put the safety barriers in position.

Subtask 12-14-32-941-051-A B. Preparation WARNING : LET THE BRAKES AND THE WHEELS BECOME COOL BEFORE YOU GO NEAR THE LANDING GEAR. DO NOT APPLY A LIQUID OR GAS FIRE EXTINGUISHER DIRECTLY ON A HOT WHEEL OR BRAKE UNIT. THIS COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. WARNING : DO NOT PUT COMPRESSED GAS IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SKIN. THE GAS CAN GO THROUGH THE SKIN AND MAKE BUBBLES IN THE BLOOD. THIS CONDITION CAN KILL YOU. WARNING : BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU INFLATE THE TIRES. USE A PRESSURE REGULATOR (OR PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE) BETWEEN THE PRESSURE SOURCE AND THE TIRE. MAKE SURE THAT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR IS ADJUSTED TO THE CORRECT PRESSURE FOR THE TIRE.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL IF THE PRESSURE SOURCE DOES NOT HAVE A PRESSURE REGULATOR, THERE IS A RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. WARNING : USE ONLY DRY NITROGEN OR OTHER INERT GASES TO INFLATE THE TIRES ON THE MAIN GEAR WHEELS. THE OXYGEN IN THE GAS USED TO INFLATE THESE TIRES MUST NOT BE MORE THAN 5% (VOLUME). IF THE AIRCRAFT IS FAR FROM ITS BASE AND NO DRY NITROGEN IS AVAILABLE, YOU CAN USE AIR FOR THE SERVICING OF THE TIRES IF: THE OXYGEN IN THE TIRES IS NOT MORE THAN 5% (VOLUME) OR MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL REMOVE THE AIR FROM THE TIRES AND INFLATE THEM WITH DRY NITROGEN BEFORE 15 HOURS TIME SERVICE. A CHEMICAL REACTION BETWEEN THE OXYGEN IN THE TIRES AND GASES FROM THE INNER LINER CAN CAUSE A TIRE EXPLOSION. (1) (2) (3) (4) Put the CART - INFLATION, TIRE, NITROGEN near the tire to be inflated. Remove the tire inflation-valve cap. Install the ADAPTER - TIRE INFLATION/DEFLATION on the tire inflation valve. Connect the tire inflation cart to the tire inflation adaptor. If there is a large temperature decrease between the departure and the destination airports, you must adjust the tire pressure for the colder airport before the flight. If the temperature difference is equal to or more than 24 deg.C (18 deg.F) lower, do this procedure:

(a) Increase the given tire pressures 3.7% for each 10 deg.C (18 deg.F) of temperature difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------! EXAMPLE: Temperature at departure airport = 20 deg.C (68 deg.F) ! ! Temperature at arrival airport = -10 deg.C (+14 deg.F) ! ! Temperature difference = 30 deg.C (54 deg.F). ! !-----------------------------------------------------------------------------! ! Increase the tire pressure: 30/10 x 3.7% = 11.1%. ! !-----------------------------------------------------------------------------! ! If the loaded tire pressure is 13.0 bar (189 psi), ! ! increase the tire pressure: ! ! 13.0 bar (189 psi) + (13.0 bar (189 psi)x 11.1%)) ! ! = 14.4 bar (209 psi). ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------4. Procedure WARNING : USE ONLY NITROGEN FOR TIRE INFLATION. IF THE BRAKES OVERHEAT, OTHER GASES CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. NOTE : In the tables that follow the term loaded means with the aircraft weight on the wheels. The term unloaded is when the applicable wheel is off the ground (jacked).
