67-12 Cyclic Grip Assembly (continued)
B. Installation
1. Refer to Figure 67-1. Ensure protective sleeving covers wires exiting grip assembly
with one grommet in grip and one (for cyclic stick) on wire bundle (spare grommets
may be installed if desired).
2. Slide grip assembly into bearings in stick assembly. Install washer, castellated nut
and cotter pin.
CAUTION
Tighten castellated nut only until there is no axial movement of
bearings and cyclic grip assembly. Overtightening nut will dam-
age bearings.
3. Install D684-1 spring so that when grip assembly is rotated one turn clockwise, with
co-pilot grip removed, pilot grip (tube) will float just above horizontal and stay full-up
when placed full-up. Install circular plug.
4. Temporarily attach grip assembly wiring to safety wire (or lacing) exiting atop cyclic
stick. Carefully pull wires thru cyclic stick. Install grommet, included with grip
assembly wiring, into cyclic stick wiring entrance hole. Remove safety wire (or
lacing).
5. Position protective sleeving on wiring exiting cyclic stick bottom to cover maximum
amount of wiring possible. Secure sleeving ends with lacing tape.
6. Install pins on each wire into proper position in housings. Refer to Figure 98-2 for
pin positions.
7. Connect cyclic and airframe wiring and ty-rap. Move cyclic control through all
positions and verify clearance and no binding.
8. Turn BATTERY switch on and verify correct function of all switches on grip assembly
and cyclic stick.
9. Install forward belly panel.
