Example Filled Template

GSE Procedure - Hydraulic Cart for Main Gear Swing

Equipment Required

  • Hydraulic cart GSE-HYD-22, calibration current
  • Adapter hose set ADP-HYD-118
  • Drip tray and FOD covers

Safety Precautions

Establish a 10 ft exclusion zone around the landing gear. Do not exceed 3,000 psi supply pressure.

Operation

  1. Connect pressure and return lines to ports LG-P1 and LG-R1.
  2. Set cart relief valve to 2,750 psi.
  3. Call "gear swing start" before actuator movement.
  4. Record pressure and cycle time for each extension.

Shutdown

Depressurize both lines, cap ports, inspect for leaks, and enter results in maintenance log ML-26-118.
