of
the hydraulic
pump
and landing
gear actuating
cylinders
should
be
checked.
Ensure that
there
are no leaks
and
that
the
line fittings
are
tight. The
cylinder
rods
are to
be free
of all
dirt and

wipe them.
All the

it is operating
properly. The
diaphragm
shaft
may be operated
by hand
to make
sure that it is
free to fluctuate
and that
the actuating
arm
and its
components
are
operating
freely. Check
the
pressure
housing assembly
for cracks,
breaks, or fatigue.
Check to ensure
that the hydraulic

level,
remove
the filler
plug
located

this level,
loosen
the vent
screw
and add
fluid,
MIL-H-5606,
through
the
filler hole.

the
filler plug
and
tighten
the
vent
screw.
