Be careful not to cause damage to the seal material.
(2) Cut all thin, lacy, seal material that extends beyond the normal seal material on the aluminium
surfaces.
Be careful not to cut or loosen the bottom of the material.

70-22 - (CFMB) - LOCKING

Locking is closely associated with safety and, therefore, must be accomplished according to
the best shop practices. It must also counteract any untightening load acting on a component.

A. Self-locking, hexagonal and castellated nuts.

(1) New or used nuts must be checked and meet the assembly specifications. Nuts that do not
conform to the specifications must be discarded.
(2) Check that stud and bolt threads protrude through nuts by, at least, one thread (unless
otherwise specified).
(3) Use a suitable torque wrench to apply the prescribed torque values.
B. Cotter pins.
CAUTION: APPLIED TORQUE SHALL ALWAYS REMAIN WITHIN MINIMUM AND
MAXIMUM SPECIFIED TORQUE VALUES. NEW COTTER PINS SHALL BE INSTALLED
DURING EACH ASSEMBLY OPERATION.
(1) After applying the minimum torque to a castellated nut, progressively tighten until one slot on
the nut is brought in line with the hole provided for cotter pin.
(2) If alignment is not possible, unscrew the nut by one halfturn and repeat tightening.
(3) If correct alignment is still not possible, replace nut.

C. Lockwire
(1) General Recommendations and Typical Locking Method.
(a) The lockwire must be fitted so that its tension increases if the locked component tends to
loosen.
(b) Unless otherwise specified, lockwiring must be performed using lockwire 0.032 in. (0.8
mm) dia (Material No. CP8001 ) or lockwire 0.032 in. (0.8 mm) dia (Material No. CP8002 ) or
lockwire 0.6 mm (0.0236 in.) dia (Material No. CP8004 ) or lockwire 0.6 mm (0.0236 in.) dia
(Material No. CP8005 ) .
(c) The lockwire is to be double twisted, without excessive tension. Do not exceed 15 turns
per inch. Use special twisting pliers.
(d) The wire must be free of impact damage, folds or any other deterioration which could
reduce locking efficiency.

D. Safety cable
Safety cable is an alternative to safetywire unless specifically prohibited by the installation
procedure. Safety cable is installed through two or more parts in such a way that as the fastener or
part loosens the safety cable will tighten. When the safety cable tightens it will not permit the
fastener or part to turn. The cable process uses two parts:
a cable with a fitting already crimped to one end,
a ferrule to set.
(1) General recommendations and Typical Locking Method.
(2) safety cable 0.032 in. (0.8 mm) dia. (Material No. CP8006 ) is available in one size, 0.032 in.
(0.8mm). When the safety cable is installed the ferrule will be crimped on the open end of the
cable.
(3) The hand operated crimping tool comes in different lenghts. The crimping pressure of the tool
is set by the manufacturer. The primary parts of the crimping tool are the crimping head,
tensioning wheel, slotted wheel and handles. This tool is used to crimp the ferrule on the end of
the safety cable. The CRIMPING TOOL 46447 will cut the safety cable even with the ferrule at
the same time the ferrule is crimped.
(4) The AIR, HYDRAULIC TOOL KIT - ALL FLUID operates in one direction only and has a
cycle end dead stop to tell the operator when the ferrule is fully crimped. The crimping pressure of
the tool is set by the manufacturer. If necessary, the crimping pressure can be adjusted with
standard hand tools. The snap-on tool has a spring loaded crimp rod to hold the ferrule in place
during the crimping procedure. Cable tension is done automatically by the internal retraction
mechanism.
(5) Bergen process (Safety cable)
CAUTION: DO NOT USE SAFETY CABLE IF THE HOLES ARE MORE THAN 0.100
INCH (2.54 MM) DIAMETER. IF YOU DO, THE FERRULES ON THE END OF THE CABLE
WILL PULL THROUGH THE LARGER HOLES. CAUTION: SAFETY CABLE MUST NOT
BE USED INSIDE OIL SUMPS OF ENGINE (FWD AND AFT) AND INSIDE AGB AND TGB
CONTAINING BEARINGS AND GEARS.
(a) Do not install safety cable in such a way as to cause the wire to be subjected to chafing,
fatique through vibration, or additional tension other than the tension imposed on the wire to
prevent disengagement.
(b) In all cases, safety cable must be installed through the holes provised. When no holes is
provided, attach the safety cable to a neighboring part so as not to interfere with the function of
the parts, and in accordance with the recommendations. (Ref. Fig. Safety Cable
Practices SHEET 1)
(c) The maximum span of safety cable cable between tension points shall be 6 in. (152.4
mm), unless otherwise specified. Where several fasteners form a group to be safetywired together,
the maximum number of units in a series shall be limited to the number of units that can be
safetywired by a 24 in. (609.6 mm) length of cable.

(6) Procedure for safety cable process
Check the safety cable holes of the parts to be secured for proper alignment. If a part has
been tightened to the proper torque, but is impropertly aligned, replace it with another part. Unless
specified differently in the engine manual:
1 The maximum length of the safety cable between cabled parts is 6.0 in. (152.4 mm).
2 Do not safety more than three bolts with one safety cable.
3 Do not use safety cable on titanium fasteners.
(7) Verification with CRIMP VERIFICATION EQUIPMENT

70-23 - (CFMB) - TIGHTENING TORQUES

The information given in the following paragraphs is generally applicable to all threaded
fasteners, such as bolts, nuts and fittings. The torque values are given in the next whenever needed
and at the location where needed.

A. Tightening torques.
(1) When tightening nuts, specified torque values must be applied. These torque values are given
to ensure an optimum tightening for safety purposes.
(2) On flanges where there are a great number of bolts and nuts, the tightening sequence must be
performed in pairs of bolts diametrically opposed.
(3) On these same flanges, it is recommended to proceed to a final check, clockwise, to ensure
that all the nuts have been tightened to the specified torque values.
(4) Tighten at a uniform rate until the specified torque is obtained. In some cases, where gaskets or
other parts cause a slow permanent set, be sure to recheck the torque at the desired value after the
material is seated.
(5) Do not tighten to the final torque value during the first draw-down; uneven tension can cause
distortion or over-stressing of parts. Seat mating parts by drawing down the bolts in gradual
increments until the parts are firmly seated. Complete the tightening procedure by loosening each
fastener separately, then tighten to the specified torque value. Do not exceed the maximum torque
values specified by this manual.
B. Double-torque procedure.
(1) Tighten at a uniform rate, in a criss-cross sequence if necessary, to the specified torque value.
(2) Loosen by 1/4 to 1/2 turn, and re-tighten, one by one in sequence to the specified torque value.
Do not tighten more than the specified torque value.
 (3) Clean unwanted lubricant, if necessary.
(4) Make sure that you get the specified torque value with the torque wrench already used.

70-51 - (CFMB) - FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECTION -

PORTABLE - WATER WASHABLE

1JOB SET-UP
A. Fluorescent-penetrant inspection - General.
(1) This is water washable fluorescent-penetrant inspection process intended for inspections at
remote locations. Portable fluorescent-penetrant inspection is a localized process, limited to small
areas or spot inspection of specific areas of parts. It is not intended for normal inspection. It is
convenient to use for inspection of welded or other localized repair areas. The penetrant is applied
only to a local area that needs to be inspected.
(2) If visible non-fluorescent color dye penetrant has been used on parts which are to be
subsequently inspected with fluorescent penetrants, the contamination by the dye may prevent
reliable fluorescent-penetrant inspection. Any color dye indications evident by white light visual
inspection shall be considered valid indications even if not detectable by ultraviolet light.
(3) Titanium alloy parts are subject to stress corrosion cracking when residues of halogen
containing compounds remain on a part that is subsequently subjected to elevated temperatures
typical or welding, heat treating, or engine operation. These parts must be thoroughly cleaned with
halogen-free compounds after exposure to any halogen containing compound to prevent the
cracking and possible failure of parts. When using water for processing parts made of titanium or
titanium alloy, de-ionized water must be used.
(4) Observe the Following:
(a) Parts must be cleaned before being subjected to the inspection process.
(b) Plug or cap all tubes or holes in parts in the area being inspected with penetrant to prevent
penetrant or other material becoming entrapped.
(c) Fluorescent-penetrants and developers used together in an inspection system should be
products of one manufacturer, except when using solvent (non-aqueous) wet developer. It is
permissible to use the approved solvent-wet developer, Tracer-Tech D499C with any product
system.
B. Equipment.
(1) Inspection booth or darkroom or black cloth hood (for remote locations) which prevents
excessive admission of white light.
NOTE: Excessive white light will interfere with detection of a rejectable size indication. A test
part having a know defect can be used to evaluate effectiveness of white light shielding.
(2) Compressed air supply for drying parts. Air supply must have filters to remove oil and
moisture which can contaminate parts or inspection materials.
(3) Ultraviolet lamp to detect fluorescent indications.
CAUTION: THE USE OF HIGH INTENSITY (125 WATT) ULTRAVIOLET BULBS
WHICH EMIT AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF WHITE LIGHT WILL AFFECT THE
SENSITIVITY OF THE FLUORESCENT-PENETRANT PROCESS. USE ONLY BULBS
CERTIFIED BY THE NDT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER AS HAVING
PASSED THEIR IN-HOUSE INSPECTION. IN ADDITION, THESE HIGH INTENSITY
BULBS SHOULD BE PERIODICALLY TESTED FOR WHITE LIGHT EMISSION PER CFM
STANDARD PRACTICES MANUAL 70-00-06.
The ultraviolet (black) light source used for the detection of indications shall have an
intensity no less than 800 microwatts/cm2 measured at a distance of 15 in. (380 mm).
(4) White light lamp for visual inspection of parts.
(5) Time piece for timing operations.
(6) Tools for inspection personnel. Tools should consist of at least the following:
Three-power and 10-power magnifying lenses.
(7) Assortment of adjustable mirrors.

the connector in a clockwise direction to engage the connector threads.
(d) Tighten the connector.
CAUTION: YOU MUST NOT STOP AT THE COLORED COUPLING INDICATOR LINE
ON THE RECEPTACLE WHEN YOU TIGHTEN THE CONNECTOR. IF YOU STOP AT THE
COLORED LINE THE CONNECTION WILL NOT BE TIGHT. THIS CAN CAUSE
MECHANICAL AND/OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT
MAINTENANCE TASKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AS DEFINED.
With the threads correctly engaged, continue to turn the coupling nut clockwise with your
hand until the connection is tight. Make sure that the colored coupling indicator line on the
receptacle cannot be seen when the connection if fully tight.
NOTE: If you move the connector from side to side when you turn the coupling nut it will
make it easier to tighten.
(e) Tighten the connector.
CAUTION: YOU MUST NOT USE PLIERS WITH METAL JAWS TO TIGHTEN OR
LOOSEN THE CONNECTOR. THE METAL JAWS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
CONNECTOR. 1 Turn the connector ring 1/8 to 1/4 turn with PLIERS - CONNECTOR, JAW,
SOFT or a WRENCH - STRAP to ensure the connector is tight. Stop before the PLIERS -
CONNECTOR, JAW, SOFT or WRENCH - STRAP slip on the connector ring.

with Non Aqueous Cleaner-General - - (Material No. 08-BAA9 ) .
(9) Remove paint and primer coatings from attach hole areas before installation of jumpers.
(10) Clamp sizes needed for installation can change from those given in a procedure.
(a) Differences in wire diameter between different vendors'wire, as well as differences in the
position of the wire bundle, can change the bundle size at any given point.
(b) Installation of a wire bundle can require a different clamp size, either one size larger, or one
size smaller than the size shown.
(c) If necessary, wind tape (material No. CP2208) around the harness at the location where the
clamp is to be installed to make sure the clamp fits correctly.
(11) Make sure that the installation reference markers are in the correct position before you tighten
the line blocks or clamps. To permit adjustment of the harness routing, the installation reference
markers can be +/- 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) off-center in the clamp.
E. Tubes Installation
(1) Correctly align tubes between tube components to make sure the threaded parts are connected
correctly.
(2) Install protective covers over open ends of tubes.

70-71-31 (CFMB) HARNESS GENERAL 70-71-31 PB 001 CONF 06 -

HARNESS GENERAL - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Description
A. Introduction:
(1) The engine harnesses interconnect the airframe with the electrical components mounted on the
engine. These harnesses provide electrical power to the various components. They also provide
circuits for the transmission of signals for engine monitoring functions.
(2) Some of the harnesses are named for engine functions and others are named for the engine or
thrust reverser to which they apply.
(3) New generation computer controlled engines and increased use of composite materials
significantly impacted the make of the electrical harnesses built by Rohr Inc. for the various
Nacelle systems.
(4) The more severe requirements for today's harnesses require:
(a) A high degree of extremely reliable lightning and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
protection,
(b) Operation in sustained higher temperature environments,
(c) Line replacement and connector replacement capability.
(5) These requirements along with fluid resistance and chafe constructions have resulted in the
current band/boot make approved. This type of construction results in a highly reliable harness
assembly.
B. Harness Construction: (Ref. Fig. Harness Construction SHEET 1)
(1) The electrical harnesses have wires with one, two, or three conductors which are shielded. The
wire shields are grounded by being attached to the connector backshell. The wires are then
covered with a metal shield.
(2) The metal overbraid prevents the wires from lightning hits:
The metal overbraid is put on the harness by a machine
The overbraid is made of nickel plated copper
 The overbraid is attached to the connector adapter by a tie-dex band.
(3) The connectors on the harnesses have backshell adapters:
The backshell adapters provide a metal surface for the ground of the wire shields and the metal
overbraid.
The backshell attaches to the connector.
The connector is attached to the equipment.
The equipment is grounded by touching the aircraft structure or by bonding straps.
(4) The outer jacket of the harness prevents the harness from fluid contamination and wear. The
outer jacket is sealed at each connector with a protective boot. Where the wires of the harness go
in a different direction, the jacket is sealed with a transition fitting.
(5) Each connector on the harness is identified with a Functional Identification Number (FIN).
The FIN is on an identification sleeve which is located near the connector:
(6) The harness also has an identification sleeve. The harness identification includes the harness
part number and the harness FIN number.
