SAFETY SUMMARY

The following are general safety precautions and instruc-

tions that must be understood and applied during many
phases of operation and maintenance to ensure personnel
safety and health and the protection of Air Force property.
Portions may be repeated elsewhere in this publication for
emphasis.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
Hydraulic fluid is toxic to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
Avoid skin and eye contact. Good general ventilation is nor-
mally adequate.

APPLICATION OF HYDRAULIC POWER

Ensure areas around all control surfaces and landing gear
wheel well areas are clear of personnel and equipment prior
to applying hydraulic power to airplane. Failure to comply
could cause damage to equipment or injury to personnel if
components are accidently actuated during application of
hydraulic power.

DRY CLEANING SOLVENTS, LUBRICATING OIL, SEAL-

ANT, RTV, ALIPHATIC NAPHTHA, GREASE
Dry cleaning solvents, lubricating oil, sealant, aliphatic
naptha, grease and RTV are toxic to skin, eyes, and respira-
tory tract. Avoid skin and eye contact. Good general venti-
lation is normally adequate.

PETROLATUM
Petrolatum is flammable and toxic. Good general ventila-
tion is normally adequate. Skin and eye protection is
required. Avoid all sources of ignition.

NOISE HAZARD
A Noise Hazard exists when the AN/APN-59 Search/Weather
System Receiver-Transmitter is operating. Hearing protec-
tion is required when maintenance is being performed in the
nose landing gear area when the radar is on.

INTRODUCTION

NOTE It is very important that the following information be

read carefully before using this job guide manual.
This introduction describes the use and arrangement
of the manual.

SCOPE.
This manual provides illustrated, step-by-step, organizational
level maintenance procedures for the Landing Gear System
Nose Gear.

USE.
This manual has been developed for use by both experienced
and less experienced maintenance mechanics. Key words in
each task are presented in boldface type. Experienced
mechanics may use these key words to avoid the necessity of
reading the complete detailed instructions. Less experienced
mechanics should read the entire procedure.

ARRANGEMENT.
Instructions in this manual are arranged in a function/task
format with procedural steps on a left-hand page, supported
by an illustration on a right-hand page. Index numbers on an
illustration identify components requiring action. These
index numbers follow the component names in the procedural
steps. Placarding differences between airplane models are
separated in the text by a slash.
A function is made up of a task or series of tasks and
illustrations which support maintenance of a system or com-
ponent. Typical tasks are removal, installation, adjustment,
rigging, operational checkout, etc. All steps within a task
must be accomplished to complete the task. All tasks within a
function must be accomplished to complete the function.
All steps listed under follow on maintenance must be accom-
plished when a function has been completed.

Change 1 v
TO 1C-130H-2-32JG-20-1

INPUT CONDITIONS.
The input conditions page at the start of each function con-
tains information required to prepare the airplane for mainte-
nance and lists the recommended number of people to com-
plete the function. Each mechanic is given a mechanic
identification letter and is assigned a primary work station.
Consumable supplies, special tools and test equipment, and
additional manuals are also listed.
All coordination with the mechanics in the
WARNING flight station, cargo compartment,
underdeck, wings, and wheel well areas
requires a positive response that these
mechanics have properly understood the
action to be taken, and confirmation that
the action has been completed. Failure to
comply could cause injury to personnel and
damage to the airplane.
At the start of each task, it is the responsibility of mechanic A
to brief all other mechanics on their individual assignments
and responsibilities. Mech A shall be in control of the entire
task. No step within the task shall be performed until a
specific request is made by Mech A.

ILLUSTRATIONS.
Illustrations include a location view of equipment and index
numbers for each component part on which maintenance is
being performed. When a function/task requires more than
one set of pages, the index number sequence starts with
number 1 on each illustration page.
Switch positions, control settings, and indication displays
shown on illustrations may not match those called out in the
related instructions.

SAFETY AND HEALTH HAZARDS.

Maintenance activities are written in a sequence which mini-
mizes the time and effort to perform them. The procedures
are also written in a sequence to emphasize safety. Operating
the bleed air system and related systems can easily injure a
mechanic. It is important that the airplane system configura-
tions be such that they present no hazard to the mechanic

vi
 TO 1C-130H-2-32JG-20-1

while performing the maintenance activity. A safety sum-

mary is included in this manual listing precautions that
need to be observed while performing landing gear system
nose ski maintenance. These precautions are contained only
in the safety summary and are not repeated elsewhere in
the manual.
IN-PROCESS INSPECTIONS **IPI**
In this job guide instructions are included for the minimum
In-Process Inspections (IPI) required to be performed during
accomplishment of certain tasks. These In-Process inspec-
tion requirements are noted throughout the job guide by a
standard character **IPI** indicating that this inspection
item must be completed before moving on to the next step in
the task. Completion of these IPIs will be documented in
accordance with AFI 21-101 and TO 00-20-1.
INSTALLATION OF CAPS AND PLUGS.
This manual does not contain specific steps to install caps or
plugs. The standard practice of covering open hoses, lines,
and fittings shall be followed when a component is removed
and is not replaced during the same maintenance activity.
If a component is removed and then immediately replaced, it
is not necessary to use caps or plugs. Specific conditions of
each maintenance activity will dictate when covers are to be

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF HYDRAULIC LINES
AND TUBING.
This manual does not contain specific instructions for the
removal and installation of hydraulic lines and tubing.
These procedures are considered general in nature. General
information on removal and installation of hydraulic lines
and tubing is contained in TO 1C-130H-2-00GE-00-1.
CONDITIONS NOT COVERED BY THIS MANUAL.
The instructions in this manual represent planned action for
conditions normally encountered during maintenance. It is
almost impossible to account for maintenance difficulties
that may be only occasionally encountered. Therefore, the
use of local decisions for general repair practices, not involv-
ing safety of flight, is encouraged to avoid unnecessary delay
