General
The ailerons receive input from the pilot or copilot control wheel
through a series of sprockets, chains, pulleys, cables, bell cranks, and
1 D
pushrods. For an overview of the system, refer to Figure 201. For a
breakdown of system components, refer to Figure 202, Figure 203, and
Figure 204.

1 Make sure that the primary cable is in the aft groove of the cable drum
and that it is wound once around the drum.
NOTE: The primary cable lock is installed at the bottom of the drum
and the direct cable lock is installed at the top.
2 With the control wheels in neutral, make sure that the chain ends are
approximately equal distances from the center of the sprockets.
3 With the control wheels in the neutral position, tighten the secondary
cable turnbuckles so that the control wheels are level in the neutral
position (synchronized). There must be sufficient tension on the cables,
but they must also move freely. Results of turnbuckle adjustment are as
follows:
a) When you loosen the secondary cable turnbuckles and tighten
the direct cable turnbuckles at the center of the control yoke,
the inboard sides of both control wheels move down.
b) When you tighten one or both of the primary control cable
turnbuckles and loosen the secondary cable turnbuckles at the
center of the control yoke, the outboard side of the applicable
control wheel will move down
4 Put a bar in position and attach it with tape across the two control
wheels to hold them in the neutral position.
5 Adjust the direct cable turnbuckles below the control yoke and the
single carry-thru turnbuckle at the aileron bell crank so that the bell
crank stop bushings are centered in the two bell crank slots with 40
pounds, +1 0 or -1 0 pounds (1 77.93 N, +44.48 or -44.48 N) of
tension at 70 'F (21 'C) on the aileron carry-thru cable. Refer to Figure
205 for the correct tensions at other temperatures. Ignore the tension
on the direct cables. This tension will be different than the tension on
the carry-thru cable.
6 Adjust the pushrods at the two ailerons until the ailerons are neutral
with reference to the trailing edge of the wing flaps. Be sure that the
wing flaps are fully up when you make this adjustment.
7 Remove the bar from the control wheels.
