determine that the retaining rings are in place. If a retaining ring comes off, it may slide along the cable and cause jamming of a pulley. [Figure 2-74] Figure 2-73. Pulley wear patterns. Travel Adjustment Control surfaces should ... movements must be synchronized with the movement of the flight deck controls. The flight control system must be adjusted (rigged) to obtain these requirements. The tools for measuring surface travel primarily include protractors, rigging fixtures, contour templates, and rulers. These…

Rigging Carburetor Controls Connect and adjust carburetor or fuel metering equipment throttle controls so that full movement of the throttle is obtained from corresponding full movement of the control in the flight deck. In addition, check and adjust the throttle ... both the full-open and full-closed positions. Correct any excess play or looseness of control linkage or cables. Controls should be checked so that they go stop-to-stop on the carburetor. Check for complete and full travel…

Figure 2-88. Cable tensiometer and sample conversion chart. To use the chart, determine the size of the cable that is to be adjusted and the ambient air temperature. For example, assume that the cable size is 1/8" diameter, which ... cable and the ambient air temperature is 85 °F. Follow the 85 °F line upward to where it intersects the curve for 1/8" cable. Extend a horizontal line from the point of intersection to the right edge of the chart…
