Length Adjustment
The standard measurements are given in the paragraph above.
1 Remove the respective access panels.
2 Disconnect one rod end from the respective bellcrank.
3 Loosen the check nut.
N O T E It might be necessary to adjust both rod ends to get the
correct length. In this case the free thread of both rod
ends should have the same length.
I M P O R T A N T Ensure that the rod ends of each control rod are ex-
actly aligned to each other (see Table 1) after adjust-
ment. This particularly applies for the control rod (1,
Figure 6), which must allow the torque tube to rotate.
I M P O R T A N T Observe that the rod ends joined to the rocker type
bellcrank should be adjusted long enough not to ob-
struct the travel.
I M P O R T A N T Ensure that the threaded rod is visible in the check hole
(Figure 7) in any case.

4 Turn the rod end in the desired direction to change the length.
5 Ensure that the rod end is in proper alignment with the re-
spective control lever and tighten the check nut.
6 Reinstall the control rod per Chapter 27-00-01.
7 Ensure that the control rods don't jam when the control sticks
are moved between the extreme positions.
