47-06-01 GLOBE: (Was Service Note 1 of AD 766-5.) Applies to Models GC-1A and GC-1B Aircraft.

To be accomplished prior to April 1, 1947, and upon each 100 hours operation thereafter.

Inspect main landing gear retraction system to determine that adjustments are as follows:

(1) When the side brace is against the down stop the middle joint should be 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch above dead center (3/16 inch to 5/16 inch if measured from edges of links in accordance with Globe Customer Service Maintenance Bulletin No. 7).

(2) When the side brace is against the down stop and the down lock plunger is fully extended, covering at least 1/2 of the adjustment screw head, the clearance between the plunger and the screw head should be from 0.001 inch to 0.005 inch.

(3) When the side brace is against the down stop the limit switch plunger should be depressed approximately 1/32 inch beyond the cutoff point.

(4) The turnbuckle in the emergency extension cable should be adjusted so that on manual extension of the gear both down locks operate before the handcrank has been wound to the full down position. After it has been determined that the turnbuckle adjustment is satisfactory in this respect it should be determined also that with the handcrank wound to the full up position the cable length is sufficient to permit the up limit switches to cut off.

(Globe Customer Service Maintenance Bulletin No. 7 covers this same subject.)
