when returned for repair
• Different behavior during power-up self-test between Vibrometer and Diehl: Vibrometer needles move faster and NR-needle drops back to 0 first, followed by both N2-needles.
• Vibrometer two independent internal• Vibrometer - two independent internal power supplies = self test differs from that in the current AMM
• Diehl shows higher failure rates; g ;moveto Vibrometer and second suppler
ATA 85 – Rescue Hoist Cable• In order to maintain the hoist cable longer in service it is recommended
to lubricate the cable with much more oil than called out for in the CMM.
ATA 85 – Rescue Hoist Cable• In addition pay attention to the crowder! Replacement is described in
latest version of the CMM.
ATA 85 – Crowder Sheave Assembly InspectionInspection
• Refer to Goodrich CMM 44301, 25-00-21-1• Check condition of crowder sheave assembly:
serviceable crowder beginning corrugation,crowder to be replacedwithin 60 days
