1. Open cowl flaps of the engine, fan and gear compartments and remove the plug
from the fan input channel.

2. Check the fastening of the fan to the access tunnel, flange of the outer casing of the
diffuser and to the assembly of the longitudinal firewall.
Loosening is not allowed

If foreign objects are found, carefully remove them, eliminating the possibility of getting
behind the fan guide vanes.
3. Open the access door in the outer casing of the fan diffuser.

Make sure that there are no foreign objects in the space between the outer and inner
casings, and that there is no destruction or contamination of the protective meshes.
4. Perform visual inspection of the condition and fastening security of the fan cardan
shaft casing, as well as shaking by hand.
Loosening is not allowed.

5. Disassemble and check the condition of the needle bearings of the joints of the
cardan shaft of the fan drive in accordance with TK № 208P.
6. Fill the OKB-122-7 grease (grease analogue provided for in the operating
documentation) into the fan bearing assembly using a grease cap until fresh grease
appears from the control hole on the flange on the cardan shaft side and out of the slot
in the fan wheel.

7. Turn the fan shaft by hand and make sure that the fan wheel rotates smoothly
without jamming or knocking.

If jamming, knocking, uneven rotation of the fan wheel is detected, replace the fan in
accordance with TC No. 205R.

8. Install the fan drive cardan shaft in accordance with TC No. 208R.

9. Close the hatches of the fan covers, close the flaps of the hood of the fan, gear and
engine compartments. Install a plug in the fan inlet.

1. Carry out depreservation of the fan.

W arning. Do not wash the fan shaft bearings when preserving them with Nephras or
kerosene.

2. Turn the fan shaft by hand and make sure that the fan wheel rotates smoothly,
without jamming or knocking.
3. Connect the fan inlet tunnel to the guide vanes casing. Install new 3456a-6 lock
washers under the nuts of the mounting bolts.

4. Lubricate the fan shaft splines with NK-50 grease (grease analogue provided for in
the operating documentation).

5. Put a rubber о-ring on the circular recess of the guide vanes.

6. Insert the spline end of the fan shaft into the fork tip of the fan drive cardan shaft,
supporting the fan with a crane, and connect the fan to the flange of the outer diffuser
housing.
After tightening the nuts, lock them with 2x20-002 splints.
7. Connect with the fan bolt to the longitudinal fire partition assembly, tighten the nut
and lock it with a 2x20-002 splint.
8. Attach the sheet of the longitudinal fire partition with screws to the frame № 1K, the
longitudinal fire partition and the fan inlet tunnel.

9. Refit the upper flaps of the hood and close the flaps of the hood of the power plant.

1. Open the doors of the engine and fan compartments.
2. Remove the upper bonnet covers of the gear compartment.

3. Open the left cover of the fan compartment and the hatch covers on the outer and
inner diffuser housings.

4. Unlock and unscrew the nuts of the 4 mounting bolts to the output flange from the
main gearbox, remove the bolts.

5. Lift the rear part of the driveshaft, and hold the front portion through the opening in
the fan casing, take the shaft spline connection with the shaft of the fan out and re­
move from helicopter.

6. Remove dirt and old grease from the driveshaft parts by wiping it with a napkin
dipped in gasoline or Nefras and wipe it with a dry cloth.
7. Check for smooth rotation of each joint of the propeller shaft. The presence of seiz­
ing jamming, "crump" felt when swaying the movable elements of the shaft around any
of the axes is unacceptable. Defective fan drive
shaft must be re­
8. Put the driveshaft in a vertical position and apply TShypo grease (grease analogue placed with a well-
provided for in the operating documentation) to the joints until it comes out from under conditioned one
the safety valves. At t=10°C, use lubrication-gun grease preheated to 30-50°C. Leak­
age of oil through the sealing cuffs of the hinges is not allowed.
9. Lubricate the details of the splined connection of the driveshaft and fan with NK-50
grease (grease analogue provided for in the operating documentation).
10. Install the driveshaft in its place. To do this, place the shaft on the side of the main
gearbox under the shaft casing and connect it in the slot connection to the fan shaft.
Then align the holes in the flanges of the driveshaft and the main gear drive, install the
bolts, torque the nuts and tighten them with a tightening torque of 12-14 N*m (1,2-1,4
kgnvm).

11. Lock-splint the nuts.

12. Close the fan cover hatches, install the upper gear compartment covers, and close
the left fan compartment cover and the engine, fan, and gear compartment flaps.
