WARNING
Any maintenance requiring the disconnection and reconnection of flight control cables,
plumbing, electrical connectors wiring requires identification of each side of the compo-
or
The organization of the Beech Baron Shop Manual has been planned with the intention of presenting the various
data in logical sequence for maximum convenience and minimum time required to locate the desired information.
The information in the manual is directed toward assisting the experienced mechanic with specialized and more
complex maintenance procedures while repetitive procedures are given less emphasis. Throughout the manual il-
lustrations supplement the text and are located as closely as possible to the related discussion. The manual is di-
vided into sixteen sections, with each section devoted to a specific system or major component. For convenience,
all information pertaining to a particular system (except servicing and wiring diagrams) may be found in one place
in the manual.
To aid you in quickly locating the information you need, an alphabetical index contains multiple entries for each sub-
ject. Additional information which should prove most helpful includes troubleshooting guides, an overhaul and re-
placement schedule, based on past component performance; and a list of publications,’ comprising information on
various components of the Beech Baron. I
If a question should arise concerning the care of your airplane, it is important to include the airplane serial number
in any correspondence. Airplane serials TO-i thru TC-1035 and TE-1 thru TE-451, the model designation placard
is attached to the bottom of the fuselage immediately forward of the tie-down lug. Airplane serials TC-1036 and after,
TE-452 and after, and TH-1 and after, the model designation placard is attached to the right side of the fuselage at
the inboard end of the flap. The placard is visible with the flaps lowered. The Beech Baron series is presently seri-
I
alized as follows:
Model A55, serials TC-191 thru TC-501, except TC-350 and TC-371
The Models E55 and 58, except for wiring diagrams, are not in all cases denoted by serial effectivity throughout the
manual. However, information contained in the text for the Model D55 will apply to the Models E55 and 58 unless
otherwise noted.

WARNING
spections performed, may be different in fabrication techniques and materials, and may be
dangerous when installed in an airplane.
Salvaged airplane parts, reworked parts obtained from non-Raytheon Aircraft Company-ap-
proved sources, or parts, components or structural assemblies, the service history of which
is unknown or cannot be authenticated, may have been subjected to unacceptable stresses
or temperatures or have other hidden damage, not discernible through routine visual or
usual nondestructive testing techniques. This may render the part, component or structural
assembly, even though originally manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company, unsuitable
and unsafe for airplane use.
Raytheon Aircraft Company expressly disclaims any responsibility for malfunctions, fail-
ures, damage or injury caused by use of non-Raytheon Aircraft Company parts.

TORQUE WRENCHES
When a torque wrench and adapter is used, (Figure 1-5) compensation must be made for the extra leverage gained. I
New indicator readings must be calculated before the wrench is used. To figure the desired lower readings which
will actually give the torques specified, use the following formula:
example:
D Desired reading
L Length of torque wrench
A Adapter length
T Torque
D=?
L 33 inches
A=llinches
T 5,000 inch-pounds
An acceptable method of checking the torque, if a torque wrench is not available, (Figure 1-6) is to attach a spring I
scale to a conventional flex or "T" handle inserted in an adapter. Force should be applied in a direction perpendicular
to an imaginary line extending from the center of the bolt through the spring scale attaching point.
To calculate the force in pounds (scale reading) required to obtain the specified torque, divide the torque in
inch-pounds by the distance in inches between the center of the bolt and the scale attaching point. For example, if
the specified torque, is 5,000 inch-pounds and the distance is 25 inches a pull of 200 pounds must be applied. Un-
less torque values are specified as wet (lubricated), bolts to be torqued must be clean and free of all lubricants; oth-
erwise loss of normal friction allowed for establishing the torque values may result in over torquing of the bolt.
When a torque wrench adapter is used, the length of the adapter must be added to the length of the flex or’7" handle
wrench and a value calculated for the particular combination. The following is a typical example in finding a desired
value.

Following is a list of publications providing servicing, overhaul and parts information on various components of the
Beech Baron which you may obtain to supplement the Shop Manual. In most instances, you should obtain the pub-
lications directly from the manufacturer or his distributor. Raytheon supplementary publications, are available from
Raytheon Aircraft Company Technical Support. Those which are available are listed in the current Publications Price I
List. Since a wide variety of radio equipment is available and because radio manufacturers normally supply parts
and servicing manuals with each set, radio publications have not been included in the list.
As publications on additional components become available, they will be added to this list of publications.

After installation of a wing, or repairs to it, flight tests may show one wing is chronically heavy. If so, alter the angle
of attach of either or bothwings to correct the difference, using the following procedure:
a. Raise the trailing edge of the light wing to decrease its lift or lower the trailing edge of the heavy wing to increase
its lift as follows:
1. Using a grease pencil, outline the position of the wing on the fuselage.
2. Place the airplane on a three point jack and raise until the wheels gre clear. See Section 2 for jacking in-
structions. Place a suitable cradle under the wing being adjusted and a wing stand under the opposite wing. A tail

MAGNETIC-PARTICLE INSPECTION
Magnetic-Particle Inspection is a method for locating surface and subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic mate-
rials (i.e. materials capable of being magnetized); consequently, non ferromagnetic materials (such as aluminum
alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, lead, titanium alloys, nickel base alloys and many stainless steel alloys)
cannot be inspected by this method. Magnetic-Particle Inspection is based upon the principle that any discontinuities
lying in a direction generally transverse to the direction of the magnetic field of the part magnetized for the test will
cause a leakage field to be formed at and above the surface of the part. The presence of the leakage field denoting
the discontinuity is detected by the use of finely divided ferromagnetic particles over the surface of the part. Some
of the particles are magnetically gathered and held by the leakage field to form an outline indicating the location,
size, shape and extent of the discontinuity. In general, magnetic particle inspection utilizes a variety of types of
equipment for magnetization, as well as several methods for application of ferromagnetic particles to the test part.
Additionally, the ferromagnetic particles are available in a selection of colors (including fluorescent) and particle
shapes. Magnetic particle inspections required by this manual can best be accomplished by utilizing the wet contin-
uous method on the standard wet horizontal type equipment, with either visible or fluorescent magnetic particles
suspended in a petroleum base vehicle (normally kerosene). Since magnetic particle indications are best obtained
when the discontinuity lies in a direction transverse to the magnetic field, the following procedures are recommended
for optimum detection of discontinuities in both bolts and nuts.

suspension is flowed on the nut and the appropriate current
testing has indicated that the amperage values list-
equate field strength. Using the described procedure, laboratory
ed in Chart 4 provide for optimum detection of discontinuities parallel to the nut axis.
After magnetic particle inspection, the parts must be carefully demagnetized and cleaned of the ferromagnetic par-
ticles. Examine parts for any possible evidence of electric are burn that may have occurred during the inspection.

The device used to control the pilot’s seat-back adjustment is a three-position mechanical stop. The copilot’s and
passenger’s seat-back adjustments are controlled by either a three-position mechanical stop or a Roton lock. On
serials TC-2258 and after, TE-I 164 and after, TH-1027, TH-1062, TH-1080 and after, the Roton locks were replaced
with Hydroloks. On airplanes equipped with vertically adjusting copilot’s seats, the copilot’s seat-back adjustment is
controlled by the three-position mechanical stop. The lever for actuating the Roton lock or Hydrolok adjusters is on
the side of the seat toward the front, while the lever for the mechanical adjusters is at the base of the seat back.
Roton lock and Hydrolok servicing information may be found in Section 2.
Airplanes with serials TH-1389, TH-1396 and after are equipped with vertically adjusting seats for the pilot (copilot’s
seat is optional). The seat is raised and lowered by a gas spring mounted underneath the seat. The seat is adjust-
able through a range of 1.3 inches for improved visibility and crew comfort. The raising and lowering action is initi-
ated by pulling up on the release lever located on the front RH side of the seat. When the release lever is raised,
two ratchet-type cam lots are disengaged from sector gears attached to the gas springs mounted on each side un-
derneath the seat, allowing the gas spring’s piston rod to extend retract, raise or lower the seat. To raise the seat,
must be shifted forward. To lower the seat, the weight must be shifted to the rear to overcome the

3.Place the latch in the open position and then close and latch the door. Check to see that the handle rotates
position that was marked in the previous step. If the handle does not line up with the mark, open the door and
to the
remove the door upholstery. Inspect the latching mechanism to determine the reason for the interference and make
the necessary adjustments.
NOTE
The areas of possible interference are where the lower pin, the upper latch hook, and the aft latch
bolt engage in the door frame.
b. The latches may require adjustment to ensure positive door locking as follows:
1. UPPER LATCH There are three points that should be inspected and/or adjusted on the upper latch.
a) Referring to Figure(Sheet I of 3), check to ensure that the upper latch mechanism is over center
3-20
when the door is latched. This accomplished by using a small inspection mirror to see that the upper oper-
can be
ating link is against the adjustment screw and the forward edge of the upper operating link is forward of the forward
edge of the lower operating link. If the latch mechanism is not over center when the door is latched, adjust the over
center stop screw.
b) Referring to Figure 3-20 (Sheet 1 of 3), check to ensure that the upper latch hook pin is positioned so
that it is almost touching the aft portion of the hook without riding on the hook. If the upper hook does not properly
engage the pin, move the pin forward or aft, tit has four positions) to obtain proper adjustment.
c) Check for proper adjustment of the door upper latch bracket in the door sill above the door. If the door
does not fit properly in the frame (inboard/outboard) when closed and latched, leaving a noticeable gap between the
door and the frame, the upper latch bracket needs to be adjusted "in" to create more tension on the door. This can
be accomplished by adjusting the forward tension screw. Refer to Figure 3-20 (Sheet 1 of 3).

3j. Adjust the pin as follows, so that it just clears the striker plate when the latch is in the unlatched (open) position,
and does not interfere with door opening.
NOTE
The amount of the pin protruding from the door with.the latch open will depend on the gap between
the bottom of the door and the door frame in the fuselage.
NOTE
It may be necessary to shorten the pin guide by grinding a maximum of 0.2 inch off the top of the
pin guide as shown in Figure 3-20 (Sheet 2 of 3), in order to obtain enough travel to make this
adjustment.
3. AFT LATCH BOLT Check to ensure that the aft latch bolt provides a pre catch and protrudes into the sock-
et on the aft door frame as far as possible without bottoming out. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows, re-
ferring to Figure 3-20 (Sheet 3 of 3).
b) Disconnect the lower aft latch pin mechanism from the operating tube.
c) Rotate the tube to allow the bolt to protrude the proper distance.
NOTE
When this is done the outside handle may protrude up to 0.25 inch into the airstream, which is ac-
ceptable.
d) Connect the lower aft latch pin mechanism to the operating tube. Connect the operating tube to the in-
side door handle.
NOTE
The aft latch bolt can be adjusted inboard or outboard by loosening the four retaining screws on the
aft side of the door and moving the bolt inboard or outboard as necessary, and then tightening the
four screws.

Beech reco m me nd s th e use of the elevate r trave I gage shown in the G E N E RA L I N FO R M AT I O N
section of this manual. Locate the travel gage at station 35.75.
To position the elevator in neutral, a tool can be fabricated from 5/16-inch-diameter steel rod. Refer
to Figure 4-13.
a. Adj ust th e upper elevator stop bolt so that the centerline of the bottom cable attachment hole in the elevator
bellcrank is 0.70 to 0.80 inch from the aft bulkhead.
b. Adjust the length of the elevator push-pull rods to obtain 14" to 16" of down travel.
c. Adjust the lower stop bolt in the elevator bellcrank to obtain 29" to 31" of up travel.
e. Set the elevator controls in neutral. To obtain neutral, insert the short end of the fabricated tool in the control
column hanger. Refer to Figure 4-13. Move the control wheel aft and insert the other end of the tool into the control
shaft and torque tube.
NOTE
Tensiometer readings must be taken on the upper and lower elevator cables with the downsprings
disconnected.
WARNING)
WARNING
Check the elevators for correct direction of movement. When the control wh ee I i s moved
forward,the elevators must move down. When the control wheel is moved aft, the elevators
must move up.
i. Check the loads in the elevator control system in a draft free area using a push-pull scale on the control wheel.
Pulling thecontrol wheel aft from full down elevator, the load through neutral must be 39 to 43 pounds. Pushing the
control wheel forward from full up elevator, the load through neutral must be 23 to 27 pounds. The difference be-
tween the two readings must be 13 to 19 pounds.

When the rudder surface is being repainted, suspend it by the trailing edge so that excess paint will drain toward the
leading edge. After any modifications, repairs or repainting, the finished surface must be check balanced to ensure
that its static mo me nt about the hinge line is within the manufacturer’s p resc ri bed I i m its. The complete rudder as-
sembly, painted unpainted including the control arm and with or without the bellcrank attached, on serials TO-1
or

the complete painted rudder assembly, with or witho ut the bellcrank attached, shall not be tail-heavy over a maxi-
mum of 4.5 inch-pounds. The static moment of the rudder is determined by multiplying the unbalanced weight of the
rudder assembly times the perpendicular distance from the hinge center line to the center of gravity when the chord
line is horizontally level. The weig ht is measured in pounds and the distance in inches. The static moment of a 1 00

with the center of the torque tube while the othe r end is cente red on the trailing edge. Mark the chord line with a
b. Secure the trim tab position in its neutral position with a small piece of masking tape.
c. Fit the correct sized bolts in the hinge brackets and mount the rudder on the knife-edge supports. Ascertain that
the rudder is free to rotate about the hinge line.
d. To determine if weight should be added or removed, suspend a paper cup from a point near the center of the
rudder trailing edge if the balance is nose down or near the center of the leading edge if the balance is tail down.
Use a short length of small-diameter string secured to the surface with a small piece of masking tape as illustrated
in Figure 4-27. The cup must be free to hang vertically.
e. Add small quantities of lead shot to the cup until the rudder balances with the chord line level. Check this by
holding a spirit level aligned with the m arked cho rd I i n e.
f. The distance D must be perpendicular to the hinge line. Measure D from the hinge line to the suspension point
of the cup.
NOTE
Since any weighing error is mag nified by the distance D, weighing is most important and must be
done carefully on scales that are certified for accuracy.

4. The following is a balancing calculation: Assume the rudder was slightly underbalance
typical example of a
(tail heavy) and the paper cup was suspended from the leading edge. If the rudder balances with the chord line level
at W 0.35 pound and D 10.0 inches then...
M 0.35 x 10.0
M 3.5 inch-pounds
In this instance, M is within the required static balance range and is therefore acceptable.
i. The complete rudder assembly, painted or unpainted, including the control arm and with or without the bellcrank
attached, must not be tail-heavy over a maxi mu m mo me nt (see R U DDER BALANCING for applicable airplane se-
rials and maximum moments). If the static balance does not comply, remove the rudder-horn weight and add or re-
NOTE
Coat the weight with a corrosion preventative material such as zinc chromate primer to insulate the
dissimilar metals. Replace the rudder horn weight and recheck the rudder balance.

The reservoir must be kept full du ring bleeding. The brake pedals should be ope rated slowly and smoothly to elim-
inate trapped air in the master cylinders. When no more air bubbles appear in the fluid drained from the bleeder plug,
close the bleeder valve.
Connect the hoses from a pressure pot to the bleeder fitting on the brake and bleed the system from the wheel cyl-
inder up. Disconnect the fluid supply line at the reservoir, attach a hose to it and put the other end of the hose in a
large, clean container. Using not more than 30 pounds pressure, bleed the system until all air bubbles are gone from
the draining fluid. Pumping the brakes is not necessary.
In airplanes having the optional dual brake system, the copilot’s brake system is bled by closing the valve on the
pressure pot and pumping the copilot’s brake pedal to change the shuttle valve position. This causes hydraulic fluid
to be routed through the copilot’s system and this system should be bled as was the p i lot’s syste m.
Afterthe pilot’s and copilot’s brakes have been bled, close the bleeder valve and repeat for the other wheel.

On all aircraft which have the CLEV ELAN D brake assembly, the lining, after extended use, has a tendency to stick
to the retaining plate. The locating pins for the lining section are peened into the retaining plate. (See Figure 5-2 or
5-3.) It is not necessary to drill out these locating pins to remove the brake lining. To remove the lining apply a screw-
driver or a similar prying tool between the retaining plate and the lining, the lining should then pop off. Replace the
lining by fitting a new lining section over the locating pins in the retainer plate.

I CAUTION 1
Under no circumstance should the landing gear be operated electrically while the hand crank is en-
gaged. In the event of such an operation, a tear down and magnetic inspection should be performed
for damage to engagement slot in worm gear. (See item 1 9, Figure 5- 15.) 1
LANDING GEAR SAFETY SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The optional landing gear safety system functions through the action of a solenoid in the landing gear position switch
in conjunction with a three position safety system switch, a relay and diode mounted on the front spar, two pressure
switches mounted on the inboard side of the left main landing gear wheel well and a micro-switch located adjacent
to each existing throttle position warning switch.
Each pressure switch is connected into the pitot and static system. The pressure switch in the gear-up circuit is ac-
tuated by the pressure differential that exists between the pitot and static ai r syste m and will close with increasing
pressure at approximately 70 mph. The pressure switch in the gear-down circuit will close with decreasing pressure
at 120 mph.
When the landing gear position switch is in the UP position and an airspeed of 70 mph has been attained, the pres-
sure switch in the gear-up circuit closes and actuates a relay mounted on the front spar, thus completing the circuit
and retracting the landing gear. A diode locks the relay in the closed position until the retraction cycle is completed.
For the preceding to occur however one micro-switch adjacent to the throttle position warning switch mu st also be
in the open position. Th is mic re-switch is actuated by the th rottle control when the throttle is advanced sufficiently
for the manifold pressure gage to register approximately 19 inches Hg. Conversely, if both throttles are retarded be-
yond the position corresponding approximately 1 7 inches Hg of manifold pressure, the m ic re-switches wi II close.
to
If at the same time the micro-switches close theairspeed has dropped below 120 mph, the resultant pressure dif-
fe re ntial betwee n the pitot and static systems wi II actu ate the pressure switch i n the gear-down ci rcu it. With both
micro-switches and pressure switches closed, the current flow through the solenoid will cause the landing gear po-
sition switch to drop into the DOWN position, thus completing the gear-down circuit.
If the landing gear positio n switch is placed i n the U P position while the landing gear safety system switch is in the
ON position, the landing gear will retract only when the following conditions are mutually fulfilled.
b. One th rottle setti ng must have been advanced sufficiently to have produced a manifold p ressu re of app roxi-
mately 19 inches Hg.
By the same token, the landing gear will automatically extend under the following conditions:
b. Both throttles must have been retarded enough for manifold pressure to have dropped below approximately 17
inches Hg.
The safety system switch is a three position switch, with no rmally ON and OFF positions. The switch also contains
a momentary or test position for checking that the system is fu nctioning properly. When released from the test po-
sition, the switch returns to the ON position.

No maintenance is required for the landing gear safety system, other than replacing defective units or checking the
wiring for condition, security of attachment, and tightness of electrical connections. The switches are pre-
electrical
set and adjustment will not normally be required; however, should the system fail to function properly, the following
checks and adjustments may be accomplished.
b. Place the battery master switch ON. The landing gear circuit breaker may be either in or out.
c. Place the landing gear safety system switch in the momentary full up (TEST) position. Noise or movement of
the solenoid in the landing gear position switch indicates that the automatic landing gear extension part of the sys-
tem is fu nction i n g properly. The ON-OFF switch returns no rmally to the ON position unless the pilot intentionally
places the switch in the OFF position.
The landinggear safety system micro-switches are set to operate at 3 to 5 i nc hes Hg above the th rottle warning
horn switch (see this section for proper setting of the Throttle Warning Horn Switch). This is accomplished by a step
in the cam which operates the throttle warning horn switch.
The pressure switches are preset and will not normally require adjustment. Because of the built-in tolerance of these
switches, they should not be tampered with unless radically out of adjustment, that is unless the switch in question
fai is to actuate at an ai rspeed with in 2 mph above or below the setting recommended for it. Even then the system
plumbing and electrical wiring should be checked to ascertain that the source of trouble is not something other than
imprope r adj ustment of the pressu re switches.
b. With the master switch ON, the landing gear circuit breaker on, and the landing gear warning circuit breaker off,
advance the throttles to maximum position.
e. Clamp a section of soft rubber tubing over the pitot head inlet, making certain that the connection is airtight.
f. Crimp the end of the tubing and roll it up until the airspeed indicator registers 70 mph. The landing gear will start
retracting immediately if the pressure switch is properly adjusted.
NOTE
Before sta rti n g t he rigging place the airplane o n jac ks and sta rt t h e retraction cycle
p roced u re,
enough to break the down lock tension. Apply a sharp load by hand in an aft di rection again st the
nose gear strut. If this causes the main gear wheels to move approximately 1/2 to 1 inch, it is a good
indication that the landing gear actuator assembly needs overhaul and/or internal adjustment.

CAUTION I
To avoid rupturing the diaphragm of the airspeed indicator, the rubber tubing must be rolled slowly.
g. If the landing gear failed to retract in the preceding step, turn the master switch OFF and adj ust the p ressu re
switch (outboard switch of the two installed in the left main wheel well) as follows:
1. Secure the rolled up tubing so that it will hold the airspeed indicator reading at 70 mph.
2. Connect a continuity tester across the contacts of the pressure switch, then turn the adjustment screw until
the switch closes atthe 70 mph reading on the airspeed indicator.
h. Turn the master switch ON; roll up the rubber tubing until the airspeed indicator registers 130 mph; then secure
the tubing so that the airspeed indicator will hold that reading.
j. Slowly bleed off pressure until the airspeed indicator registers 120 mph. The landing gear will extend im-
mediately if the pressure switch is properly adjusted.
k. Should the landing gear fail to extend, tum the master switch OFF and adjust the pressure switch (inboard
switch of the two installed in the left main gear wheel well) as follows:
1. Secure the rolled up tubing so that it will hold the airspeed indicator reading at 120 mph.
2. Connect a continuity tester across the contacts of the pressure switch, then turn the adjustment screw until
the switch closes atthe 120 mph reading on the airspeed indicator.
i. Turn the master switch ON and check the landing gear safety system through the complete cycle of operation.

To prevent possible injury, the emergency landing gear actuator handcrank must always be
disengaged when operating the gear electrically.
Before starting rigging procedure, place the airplane on jacks and start the retraction cycle enough to break the
the

is out of ri g.
CAUTION 1
I CAUTION
Overtightening the nut on the bolt that connects the retract rod to the shock strut can bind the strut
or distort the retract rod attach points on the strut. Torque the nut only to 25 75 inch-pounds.
All landing gear ope rations, tests and adjustments are to be made with a reg u lated voltage sou rce of 28.25 ~0.25
volts under load.
a. Lengthen the main and nose gear retract rods sufficiently to eliminate the danger of the V brace on the main
gear damaging the skin when the gear is retracted and excessive tensions on the nose gear retract rods. Damage
to vital parts may result if abnormal loads are applied to the retract system. By lengthening the retract rod, such dan-
ger is removed. Disconnect up lock cables at the brackets, leaving the springs attached. If the springs are discon-
nected, upon the retraction of the gear the up lock arm may damage the top wing skin. Place the up lock block in
the lower position.
b. Disconn ect the nose wheel door linkage atthe attaching point on the door and remove links by unscrewing at
c. Remove bolts attachingthe main gear outboard door links to main strut. Remove inboard door actuator rod by
unscrewing from inboard rod ends and removing bolt in door bracket.
d. Sc rew stop bolts in (V brace assembly, main gear) until approximately four or five threads are showing.
I CAUTION I
When runningthe gear electrically before the switches are reset or for the first time after resetting
the switches, run it with extreme caution to make sure the switches open the electrical circuits be-
fore the sector gear hits the internal stops in the gear box. The sector gear should not be touching
the stop when the motor stops coasting. Serious damage may result if the internal stops are hit by
the sector gea r.
NOTE
To operate the landing gear control circuit breaker as a momentary switch, push it in for operating
the gear and pull it out for stopping the ope rati on. Leave the b reake r pus hed i n only long enoug h

o. U nsc rew main gear outboard door attaching link to assure the door is not damaged when retracted. Con nect
outboard door I in kage and retract gear slowly, checking to see that clearance is maintained between the door and
gear. After checking to see that the door is not too tight, run gear down and adjust linkage as required, continue this
procedure until a snug, firm fit is obtained when the door is completely closed.
p. Connect main gear inboard door linkage, retract gear slowly and check for clearance between door linkage and
root rib. Run gear to 314 down position and adjust to maintain 1/4 inch minimum clearance between gear and inboard
door with the slack removed from the door I in kage. Continue this procedure until door will close tightly in both up
and down position. Adjust doors by varying the length of the push-pull linkage rods. Disconnect the rods at the clevis
fitting to make this adjustment.
CAUTION 1
ICAUTION
Install the main landing gear door push rod attaching bolt in the door linkage bracket with the head
to the rear. If installed wrong, the bolt may catch on the fuselage skin and root rib of the wing, caus-
ing damage to the landing gear retract mechanism or preventing the gear from retracting.
q. Connect nose door linkage and rig nose door. Check closely to see that the right hand aft hinge clears the tire.
Adjust the gear doors by varying the length of the push-pull linkage rods in the nose wheel well. With the gear
nose
retracted the doors should have a slight tension on them from the actuator rods to keep the doors from vibrating.

I CAUTION I
Do not change the position of the control switch to reverse the direction of the landing gear while
the gear is in transit, as this could cause damage to the retract mechanism.
Before starting rigging procedure, place the airplane on jacks and start the retraction cycle enough to break the
the
downlock tension. Apply a sharp load by hand in an aft direction against the nose gear strut. If the main gear wheels
move ap p roxi mate ly 1 /2 to 1 i nch, it is a good indication that the landing g ear act u ato r as se mb ly needs overhaul

I CAUTION I
Prior to jacking the airpla ne, ensure tha t an unbalanced condition does not exis t. Fuel should be
distributed evenly in both wings to prevent an unbalanced condition which could cause the airplane
to be unstable while on jacks.
Whe neve r the land i n g gear mechanism or doors are re moved o r discon nected, retract the gear and check the rig-
ging. The following procedure for rigging the landing gear was written on the assumption that the entire landing gear
is out of rig.
IWARNINO)
WARNING
To prevent possible injury, the emergency landing gear actuator hand crank must always be
disengaged when operating the gear electrically.
CAUTION I
I CAUTION
Battery voltage is not sufficient to properly cycle the landing gear during rigging. A 28.25 f 0.25 volt
power supply should be utilized for landing gear rigging. If an external power receptacle is not avail-
able on the airplane, jumper cables may be used between the battery and power supply. Be sure
of the polarity before making the connection.
I CAUTION 1
Over tightening the nut on the bolt that connects the drag leg to the shock strut can bind the strut
b. Len gthen the main andnose gear retract rods sufficiently to eliminate the danger of the V brace on the main
gear damaging the skin when the gear is retracted and to prevent excessive tensions on the nose gear retract rods.
Damage to vital parts may result if abnormal loads are applied to the retract system. By lengthening the retract sys-
tem. By lengthening the retract rod.
d. Disconnect the up lock cables at the brackets, leaving the springs attached. If the springs are disconnected,
upon the retraction of the gear the up lock arm may damage the top wing skin. Place the up lock block in the lower
position.
f. Disconnect the nose wheel door linkage at the attaching point on the door and remove links by unscrewing at
E17 5-19

g. Remove bolts attaching the main gear outboard door links to main strut. Remove inboard door actuator rod by
unscrewing from inboard rod e nds and re movi ng bolt i n d oo r b rac ket.
h. Screw stop bolts in (V brace assembly, main gear) until approximately four or five threads are showing.
I cnuTlon
CAUTION I
When the gear electrically before the switches are reset, or for the first time after resetting
running
the switches, it with extreme caution to make sure the switches open the electrical circuits be-
run
fore the sector gear hits the internal stops in the gearbox. The sector gear should not be touching
the stop when the motor stops. Serious damage may result if the internal stops are hit by the sector
gear. When checking the dynamic brake system, actuate one of the limit switches and the motor
should stop immedia tely.
i. Using the landing gear control circuit breaker (placarded LDG GR POS) as a momentary switch, run the gear
about 2/3 up. Bump the gear the remaining distance to the limit switch by the momentary operation on the circuit
breaker. Check the hand crank for 1/8 to 1/4 turn (5/8 to 3/4 turn on airplanes using new or white actuators) Between
the retracted position and the internal stop of the actuator.
NOTE
A newactuator may be installed on earlier airplanes as a spare. The new actuator may be identified
by white epoxy paint on the upper actuator arm, and the upper and lower actuator housing. When
the new actuator is installed as a spare on earlier airplanes, the actuator should be adjusted by us-
ing the 5/8 to 3/4 hand cran k tu rns remaining after the mote r has stopped. If th is clearance is not
obtained adjust the landing gear up limit switch. The limit switches are located adjacent to the land-
ing gea r actu ato r asse m b ly under the pilot’s se at. To adj u st the up limit switch, lower the land ing
gear 1/8 to 1/4 turn (5/8 to 3/4 turn on airplanes using new white actuators) of the emergency hand
crank and adj u st t h e switch by turning the sc rew i n or out to i nc rease or decrease travel so that it
just breaks the circuit.
j. Extend gear electrically and check with the hand crank. There should be 1/8 to 1/4 turn (5/8 to 3/4 on airplanes
using the new or white actuators) between the extended position and the internal stop. On older models the down
limit switch is adjusted by hand forming the switch actuator arm tab. On models with the new actuator there is an
adjustment screw on the switch. Adjust the down limit switch so that it just breaks the circuit.
k. Extend and retract the gear two or three times to assure that the switches are correctly set and the dynamic
brake is operating correctly. Check the hand crank each time to ensure prope r adj ustme nt.
NOTE
It may be necessary to make a closer setting of the limit switches, but there should never be less
than 1/8 of a turn (or 5/8 of a turn with the new or white actuators) on the hand crank in either the
exte n ded or ret racted positions.
I. Adjust the main retract rod (either right or left) to maintain 1/16-inch minimum clearance between the joint (knee)
of the V brace and lift legand the top wing skin with the landing gear fully retracted. The main gear should retract
only far enough to clear the inboard door in addition to maintaining the minimum of 1/16-inch clearance. To decrease
the clearance between the knee and the top wing skin, shorten the retract rod; to increase clearance, lengthen the
retract rod.

I CAUTION
The up lock cable attach bolt must be installed with the head pointing aft to a void interference with
thestringer in the main gear wheel well when the gear is fully retracted.
p. With the mai n landing gear fully extended and the down lock in the locked position, check the mi le rs fo r free
movement and a clearance of 0.010 to 0.020 inch between the roller and the down lock block. If this clearance is
notobtained, loosen the block retaining bolts and adjust to proper clearance. Torque the bolts to 90 100 inch-
pounds. Fully retract the main landing gear and repeat this procedure with the up lock in the locked position.
q. Fully extend the main landing gear and with the down lock in the locked position, check for a clearance of 0.03
to 0.10 inch between the inboard ends of the down lock spring and the down lock at the point of juncture where the
down lock attaches to the strut. Add or remove washers (P/N 100951DD040ZZ) as necessary to obtain this clear-
ance.
With the main landing gear fully extended and the down locks engaged, adjust the down lock cable to a tension
of 52.5 +10 -0 pounds. The tension is adjusted at the outboard end of the cable. If sufficient adjustment is not ob-
tained at the cable eye, additional adjustment may be made at No, 3 wing rib by moving the cable hous i ng in boa rd

NOTE
Refer to the OVERHAU L AN D REPLACEMENT SCHEDU LE in Section 1 5 for time limits and main-
tenance checks of the main landing gear.
Experience in the field indicates the points of greatest wear on the main landing gear are the upper and lower bear-
ings in the cylinder assembly. The wear caused on the bearings during takeoff, landing and taxiing tend to result in
an ove rsized condition. The oversized condition of the upper bearing in the cylinder assembly will result in leakage
of hydraulic fluid through the upper bearing and O-ring. This will eventually cause fluid to seep down through the felt
pad and out the lower bearing.
When replacement of the scraper ring and all O-rings in the cylinder assembly fails to stop leaks, the oversized con-
dition of thebearings is probable. In such instances the landing gear should be overhauled. The following informa-
tion will aid in dete rm i ni n g the exte nt of lan d i n g gear wear and w h et he r it i s poss i ble to overhaul or necessary to

NOTE
Refer to the OVERHAUL AND REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE in Section 15 for time limits and main-
tenance checks of the nose gear.
Experience in the field indicates the points of greatest wear on the nose gear arethe upper and lower strut bearings
in the strut housing. The forces exerted on the bearings during takeoff and landing tend to res u it i n an oversized
condition. The oversized condition of the upper and lower strut bearings will eventually result in leakage of hydraulic
fluid.
When replacement of all O-rings in the landing gear fails to stop leaks, the oversized condition of the bearings is
probable. In such instances the landing gear should be overhauled. The following information will aid in determining
the exte nt of land i ng gear wear and wh ethe r it is possible to overhaul or necessary to replace critical landing gear
components.

REPAIRS
a. Visually inspect casting for cracks and pitting; and finished su rfaces for scoring, pitting, nicks, cracks, disto rtion
and wear. Refer to Chart 5-5 for tolerances to aid in determining the extent of wear. Replace all defective and ex-
cessively wom parts.
b. All parts or assemblies may be repaired if any of the following problems exist:
Slight scoring of shafts may be corrected by lapping carefully with a flat oil stone.
NOTE
Do not exceed 10% of the component material thickness when removing nicks, burrs and scratch-
es.
Those parts that are scratched or have worn plating may be stripped and replated with the same type of plating
as that removed or be replaced with new parts.
NOTE
Corrosion damage requires inspection to determine the depth of penetration and the cross-section-
al area change. The damaged area must be tho roug h ly cleaned and the corrosion must be re-
moved. The deterioration caused by corrosion or removal of corrosion must not reduce the material
thickness of any component by more than 10%. Refer to Chart 5-5 for NOSE GEAR SHIMMY
DAM PERWEAR TOLERANCES A N D I N S P ECT I O N P ROC E D U RESon com po n e nts. For ad d i
tional information contact the Technical Support Department of Raytheon Aircraft Company, P.O. I
Box 85, Wichita, KS 67201.
Remove corrosion if applicable, and apply corrosion prevention materials as necessary per MIL-C-5541 or cad-
mium plate per Fed QQ-P-416, Type II.
When evidence of damage exists to steel parts, magnetic particle inspect per MIL-STD-1949.
NOTE
Do not remove paint or primer from the area to be fluorescent or dye penetrant inspected per MIL-
ST D-6866. If the fi n is h abso rbs the penetrant so that bleed out prevents satisfactory inspection or
if a new finish has not cured for at least 30 days, contact the Technical Support Department of Ray-

a. Replace the O-rings (20 and 21) on the barrel end (19). Slide the piston scraper (22) and barrel end onto piston
rod (12).
b. Replace the O-ring (16) on the floating piston (17) and insert the compression spring (18) and the floating piston
into the piston rod (12). With a long 6-32 screw or threaded rod, engage the floating piston (17) by pulling it toward
the clevis (24) so that the retaining pin (15) can be inserted. Install the damper piston (14) on the piston rod (12) and
insert the retaining pin (15). Replace the O-rings (13) on the damper piston (14).
c. Insert the piston rod (12) and components into the barre 1 (6) and place the snap ring (23) into position.
d. Place the barrel (6) in a vise with the open end up and fill the barrel (6) and piston rod (12) with h yd ra u lic fl u id
(13, Consumable Materials Chart, Section 2). Work the piston rod (12) up and down until bubbles stop appearing in
the fluid, then refill the barrel (6) and the piston rod (12). To eliminate the possibility of an air pocket under the barrel
end (5), ensure that the barrel (6) is completely full of hydraulic fluid. Any excess fluid will be forced into the piston
rod (12) as the barrel end (5) is inserted.
e. Replace the O-rings (4) on the barrel end (5). Insert the barrel end (5) and piston scraper (3) into the barrel (6)
and secure with snap ring (2).
f. Pill the piston rod (12) with hyd rau lic fluid (1 3, Consu mable Materials Chart, Section 2). Engage the floating pis-
ton (17) with a 6-32 long screw and pull towards the clevis (24). At the same time, insert and push the floating piston
(10) down into the piston rod (12). This will cause hydraulic fluid to be sucked into the piston rod (12) and preventing
the entry of air.
g. Install compression spring (9), washer (8) and secure with cotter pin (1). Release the 6-32 rod from the piston
(17) and remove from the assembly.
h. Check the fluid level in the shimmy damper by spreading pin (1) and inserting a 1/16 inch diameter

a. Check the effect of rpm and/or power setting, particularly in the lower cruise range on synchronizer action. If
operation at lower rpm results in improved synchronization, inspect the drives to the governors.
b. Reduce the electrical load and turn off the generator and all other electrical units, except the master switch and
synchronizer. If synchronizing improves, abnormal voltage spikes on the airplane bus from some other electrical ac-
cessory may have been upsetting the synchronizer. Isolate the offending accessory and repair it. If the trouble lies

SCHEDULE
BE ECH BARON 55 AND 58 SHO P MAN UAL
The fi rst ove rhau I o r replacement sho u id be performed not later than the required period. The condition of the item
at the end of the first period can be used as a criteria for determining subsequent periods applicable to the individual
ai rp lane or fleet operation providing the operator has an approved m o n ito ri n g syste m.
NOTE
The date on the "STANDARD AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE", FAA Form No. 8100-2, which is I
issued with every new airplane, is to be used as the starting time for all overhaul, replacement, and
inspection intervals listed in this section.
The time periods for inspections noted in this manual are based on average usage and average environmental con-
ditions.
Airplanes operated for Air Taxi or other than no rmal o pe rat io n and airp lanes operated in humid tropics or cold and
damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion and/or lack of lubrication. In these ar-
eas periodic inspections should be performed until the operator can set his own inspection periods based on expe-
rience.
NOTE
The required periods do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the period without malfunction
as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
Main gear assembly On condition. (Leaking or collapsed struts that cannot be corrected
by
seal replacement will constitute the "On condition"
requirement. Any
pitting, corrosion, cracking, distortion or visible wear noted during the
seal replacement will also constitute the requirement for an overhaul.)
Nose gear assembly On condition. (Leaking or collapsed struts that cannot be corrected by
seal replacement will constitute the "On co nd itio n" req u i re me nt. Any
pitting, corrosion, cracking, distortion or visible wear noted during the
seal replacement will also constitute the requ i reme nt fo r an overhaul.)

The time periods for th e inspections noted in this schedule are based on normal usag e under average environmental
conditions. Airplanes operated in humid tropics, or in cold, damp climates, etc., may need more freq uent inspections
for wear, corrosion, lubrication, and/or lack of maintenance. Under these adverse condit ions, pe rf orm p eri ed ic in

the ammeter for at least 2 minutes (3 minutes on McCauley). If the ammeter needle does not rest within the shaded
band, except for a flicker at 30 second (90 seconds on McCauley) intervals when the step switch of the timer cycles,
refer to the troubleshooting chart for the probable source of trouble.

WARNING
Before moving the propeller, make certain that the ignition switch is off and that the engine
has cooled completely. There is always some danger of a’cylinder firing when a propeller is
moved.

While following the instructions of step "b move the propeller back and forth to prevent arcing be-
tween the brushes and the slip ring.
b. With the engine shut-off, turn the deicer switch ON and feel the deicer boots on the propeller for the proper se-
quence of heater operation. The presence of local hot spots indicate severe damage to the deicer heaters, which
should be repaired before more serious damage develops.
c. Remove the spinner dome and open all access doors pertaining to the wiring and components of the deicer sys-
tem. Turn the deicer switch ON and station an assistant in the airplane to observe the ammeter. Flex all accessible
wiring, particularly the lead straps, leads from the slip ring assembly, and the fire wall electrical connectors and their
wiring. Any movement of the ammeter, other than the cycling flicker that occurs at 30 second (90 seconds on Mc-
Cauley) intervals, indicates a short or open circuit that must be located and corrected.
d. To extend the life of the lead strap between the hub clamp and clip, reposition the bend in the strap at a point
at least 1/2 inch from the existing location of th e bend.
e. Check for damaged brush rods or springs and for worn or damaged brushes.
b. Check for radio noise or radio compass interference by operating the engine at near take-off power with the ra-
dio gear turned on. if, under these conditions noise or interference occurs when the deicer switch is ON and disap-
pears when the switch is OFF, refer to the troubleshooting chart for the probable source of tro uble.
c. Check all clamps, clips, mountings, electrical connections, and connectors for tightness and electrical sound-
ness. Also check for loose, broken or missing safety wire.
d. Closely check the deicer boots fo r wrinkled, loose or torn areas, particularly arou nd the outboard ~end and at the

point where the strap passes under the hub clamp. Look for abrasions or cuts along the leading edge of the flat or
thrust face. If the heater wires are exposed in damaged areas or if the rubber is found to be tacky, swollen, or dete-
riorated las from contact with oil or solvent fluids), replace the damaged deicer boot.
e. Check that the hub clamps are tight. Inspect fo r cracks or other damage. Check to see that th e cushioning ma-
terial is not missing or damaged in the area under the hub clamp or on the edge of the spinner dome. Manually op-
e rat e th e propeller from "f ull pitch" to "f eathering" while checking that the deicer lead straps do not come under
tension.

Consumable Materials Chart). After such a cleaning, a run-in time of 5 hours of engine operation mu st be allowed
before the deicer system is turned on.
g. If uneven wear or wobble is detected, check the alignment of the slip rings on the prop shaft with a dial indicator.
While checking the alignment, push in while turning the prop to eliminate p lay in th e propeller th rust bearin g. If the
run-out over 360 degrees of rotation is over 0.005 inch or in excess of 0.002 inch in any 4-inch are, refer to the para-
graph on slip rin g alig nm e nt in S ectio n 1 1
h. Examine the brush mounting brackets and housings for cracks, deformation or other indications of damage.
Check for tight connections and that the leads are not chafed or binding.
i. Check that each brush rides slip ring over 360 degrees of rotation. If the brush is not properly aligned,
fully on its
add or remove or elongate the holes in the mounting bracket to raise or lower the brush
shims under the brush block
block to the proper position. If the brushes ride both high and low with respect to the slip rings in 360 degrees of
rotation, the slip ring assembly is eccentrically mounted and must be replaced.
j. Check for proper spacing between the brush block and slip rings as indicated in Figure 11-25, 11-30 or 11-36
in Section 1 1If this distance is not within the specified limits, loosen the mounting screws and reposition th em in
the elongated holes until the block is properly positioned. If necessary, shims can be added between the thrust bear-
ing plate and the mounting bracket until the brush block is properly located.
k. Estimate the contact angle of the brush block in relation to the slip rings. If this angle is not approximately 2
degrees, ton McCauley they are to be parallel) as indicated in Figure 1 1-25 or 1 1 -30 in Section 1 1 loosen the mount-
ing bolts and reposition the brush block until the proper angle exist between the brush block and slip rings. It should
be noted that the spacing established in step j must also be maintained after the proper angle is established.
