Figure 5-7. Methods of Securing Trim Cables
7. With the tension of the upper cable correct and the control wheel still forward, adjust the
turnbuckle of the lower cable to obtain correct tension.
8. Check the full travel of the control wheel with relation to the full travel of the stabilator to
determine that the stabilator contacts its stops before the control wheel contacts its stops. With the
control wheel in the fore and aft positions, the travel distance from the point where the stabilator
contacts its stops and the control wheel contacts its stops should be approximately equal. Readjust
turnbuckles if incorrect.
9. Reinstall access panels.
d. Remove the airplane from jacks.
5-17. STABILATOR TRIM CONTROLS.
5-18. REMOVAL OF STABILATOR TRIM ASSEMBLY. (FORWARD.) (Refer to Figure 5-8.)
a. To remove the trim control wheel assembly and/or the trim control cables, first remove the panel to the
aft section of the airplane.
b. If the aft trim cable (12) is not to be removed, block the cables at the pulleys (13) in the upper aft
section of the fuselage to prevent them from unwrapping from the trim drum. (Refer to Figure 5-7.)
c. Loosen the cables if the trim control wheel (1) is to be removed or disconnect if the cables are also to
be removed. Do this at the trim cable turnbuckles (10 and 11) in the aft section of the fuselage.
d. The control wheel (1) with drum (3) may be removed by the following procedure:
1. Remove the control wheel cover by removing the cover attaching screws.
2. The wheel assembly may be removed from its mounting brackets by removing nut, washer and
bolt (7) that secures the wheel between the brackets. Draw the wheel from the brackets. Use
caution not to damage trim indicator wire(2).
3. Unwrap the left cable (9) from the drum.
