16. Flap Compensator (See Figure 8.)
A flap compensator potentiometer is mounted underneath the right aft facing passenger seat or the
entertainment cabinet, whichever is installed. The pot is mounted on a bracket just aft of the wing spar
box and outboard of the fuel selector valve. The arm of the pot is linked to the flap troque tube by a cable
assembly.
Adjustment
(1) With flaps in the full up position and set screw loose, turn A/P master switch ON.
(2) Connect a digital voltmeter (3 1/2 digit) between airframe ground and center terminal (wiper) of
potentiometer (pot).
(3) Turn pot shaft clockwise to stop. Voltmeter should read 5.00 vdc.
(4) Turn pot shaft slowly counter-clockwise until voltage just starts to decrease from 5.00 volts.
(5) Tighten set screw and recheck wiper voltage for 4.95 to 5.00 vdc.
